Pathways Poems

Flight of a Butterfly

Slowly walking the path of life,
winging with challenge, joy, and strife.
I came upon a butterfly,
floating, flittering in the sky.

So lightly gliding through the air,
I came to a stop, just to stare.
Created with such symmetry,
designed to live a life so free.

Like a butterfly’s flight in wind,
harder at first than in the end.
Life is seen by our

Unseen Pathways Ahead are Full

Unseen pathways ahead are full
   Of switchbacks and great ruts.
Should you get a foot entangled -
   I can help you regain your steps.

None of the routes are easy;
   There's no formidable plan.
I only know forward is the way
   So I will follow behind.

Today is not new nor

Pathways

Onward as I mend my way
Looking towards the sheep go astray
Then in a flash appears that moment 
Which I did many a time didst contemplate
Now lies it's reflection amidst shadows
For my heart did yearn but once.

Calling in the distance is the horn
to which these kids thus borne
Hading their way through glorious glen
Merry would have been

Devine Pathways

                   GOD
                Guides me
            Opening my heart
    

Neural Pathways

Sometimes my brain deludes me into believing that I am utterly unlovable. 
Like a dog who has been in the shelter for far too long, being prepared for his final meal. 
My throat closes up,
My lungs shut down,
And there are no other thoughts to be had.

I often convince myself that I do not deserve good

On the pathways in the valleys, where the sun weaves with the eaves' shadows

On the pathways in the valleys, where the sun weaves with the eaves' shadows,
April's flickers spill to adorn the pale oases.
Winter's shadows are extinguished, broken in the wait for buds to bloom,
Melting away in the golden dawns, lofty beneath the proud morning's loom.
The industrious rays of the sun begin to sprinkle golden threads
Over the endless

New Pathways

Tollgates on redemption road
calling out my name

Turnstiles of a fated past ...
exiting the blame

Looking back all fares are paid
new pathways to begin

Eyes now closing, heart at rest
— salvation free within

Emerald Pathways

Written~ September 12, 2023


My cozy home, encircled by emerald pathways.
California autumnal beauty, created that way!!

This blessed day, He painted with magical rays,
Come on down, observe the deep, green leaves sway,

Saturday and Sundays are such glorious days here,
Grandma not hiding behind glass, there is nothing to fear.

Flowers of all sorts, in dawn’s glory growing,
Hoping some growth

Pathways

DO you walk the pathways of your past.
Do you look into your overgrown memories looking 
For the wrong turn that you made. 
Do you search for the faces of loved ones
That have faded in time.
Is it that you cannot remember or that you don't want to. 
Do your eyes moisten when you realise that you

Pathways

The pathways we follow
   are too oft chosen for us

Our birthplace or breeding 
   as to flowers their seeding

Schools and society too have their way
   framing whatever they want us to say

Hearts need to express their deepest yearnings
   toward the pathways our feet someday will be turning

Pathways

Watching like a protector
Lighting my pathway so bright
Moonbeams illuminate trails
I have chosen to take this dark night.

I walk in my life's paths way
Do I keep straight or go right?
Should I stop?

Sacred Pathways

Evolution of revolution,
spirals in a sacred path;
spinning and unending motion,
sacred geometry, holy math.

stony links of soul fire burning,
from the past into the present;
ancestral teachings we are learning,
venerable journeys they represent.

Whispers of ancestral mystery,
echoed through the sages spirit;
missing puzzle pieces of history,
given freely to those who’ll hear it.

Lain upon the land yet plundered,
ties that bind ethereal
