Rekindling an Old Friendship

Rekindled, our bond,  
Years lost, now paths interlace,  
Laughter blooms anew,  
Memories, like stars, align,  
Warmth in the cold space between.

Rekindling a Heart of God

So what to do, and what to not?
It seems so often we forget,
that he has paid the price for us,
so we can enter in and say -
'Redeem my soul, make my heart free,
that I may always, love thee, love thee!'

So why, so crushed, so lost, so lonely?
His love for us transcended death,
and unto us this time of year,
we can,and do, reflect and say -
"My Lord, thank you, in every way,
that I can live another day!"

And whence my time does come to end,
I thank you Lord that I have led,
a life in you, my present friend. -
Who carries me when I am weak,
and grants me grace when I am meek,
and gifts me words so I may speak.

Thus soul, alive, in Him, can say -
"Death has no sting, for you have freed,
my soul, from sin. I enter in!
For you alone, make life, well lived,
through you alone, is an eternal gift.
That makes a way for me to live,
to share Christ's nature and to give,
unbound, gentle and carefree love,
till, I reside, with you, above!"

Rekindling the Flame

Cause of sorrow, fear of morrow
As ego spawned thoughts we borrow
Thus imprisoned by our own hand
Toxins deep within us burrow

When we so thus do understand 
We’re caught not in a narrow band
Living in the present moment
Consciousness begins to expand 

Negating earth bound attachment 
Throb of love, our sole sentiment 
In stillness slow, we feel soul’s glow
Self-existent, luminescent

Rekindling the Past

picking up pieces
long overdue memories
like jig saw puzzle

Rekindling the Flame of Innocence

Joyful innocence of our childhood years
Drawn in through perceptional memory
Carefree exuberance devoid of fears

Fun and frolic in continuity 
With fun and games our only agenda
It was a whirlpool of activity 

Rolling in the mud we felt no stigma 
Flowing joyfully moment to moment 
Life was simple; today an enigma

We recall back then, we were innocent
Smiles and tears both came to us easily
Instant forgiveness marked our love quotient

Blissful years of our childhood passed quickly
Hearts entwined back then still stand by our side
Pure love motiveless; embracing fully

Childhood scenes sweet; how quickly did they glide
We reflect now, with this understanding 
We were pure of heart, one with God inside

A child once more, ego surrendering
Love does lead, with innocence following

Rekindling the Spark

It's a lovely day for a walk in the park
Pretend we're starting over to rekindle the spark
It's hard to believe
The changing of the leaves
Winter's around the corner the sky's turning dark

White Helmets Rekindling Hope

When all hope was gone, 
There they were,
Where no mortal should ever need to go,
And no general would ever ask it of them,
Their helmets, the whitest of whites,
Their hearts filled with the purist Love,
Their minds and limbs, as hard as steel,
As they stuck to their task,
Rekindling hope where none was thought to exist,
Giving us the merest of glimpses,
As to why we should continue to strive against the odds, 
So one day we can all wear helmets of the whitest white,
And maybe a set of wings to match.

Rekindling Romance

Remiss I’d be to disavow my love for you
Opportune moments these days arise in short supply
Magical meanderings seem only to dissipate
Amorous adieus most nights all we seem to muster
Nightfall harks to all then beckons lovers to their nest
Thunderstruck we hesitate in dubitable awe
Immortalized remembrances to which we dare cling
Circumnavigating our delicate famished hearts

A Rekindling

A blow on the bird’s breast

Had nearly choked the hit nerves

Golden grains danced in stark dark

The bird was reduced to shards

A mild hand and soft lips

With her river sand music

Rekindled its urge to fly

Today it built a small cup

Of the smell from hit breast

Seeking on the hay a blue rest

The Rekindling

The embers of the heart
Though sometimes grow dim
Never really go out
Only need rekindling

Those that dare to
Keep the passion smoldering
Afraid of love dying
They stand afar fanning it

Admiring it's beauty
But just a distance
Always preparing
In case it needs tended to

Being careful not to get to close
Because the burn of love can sting
Drawn in by the flames
Only daring to try and dance

When the temperature is just right
And the warmth settles in their soul
They can't help but get comfortable
To make themselves at home

Rekindling Love

Let us begin again
From that moment in time
When we first met and
You and I were just strangers.

When our eyes first met
and set our hearts pounding,
When our hands first touched
and set our passions aflame.

When we were unknown
to the cares of the world
And were not bogged down
by its morals or mores,
When our fancy knew no bounds
and the world seemed but a leap across.

When a bouquet of wild flowers
was a most precious gift,
When the mere flight of birds
set our imagination soaring.

When we had nowhere to go
and plenty of time to get there,
When we had nothing to say
and plenty to talk about.

Let's take it back to the beginning
when life was but frolic and fun
And the wild fire of love
had just begun.


"When love was innocent" contest by Justin Bordner

Rekindling

Whirling colors have ceased for comfort
for the wonders of Earth vibrantly register 
with the ocean hued eyes of aging apatite

The crunch of our feet as we traverse the dried
warm ocean beneath us
a mirror of the sky which touches the truth

To die so beautifully
as the phoenix dose before us
this repetition of sorrow
so sweetly brings us to peace

To hold your hand now
and witness the wonder of everything 
that is magnificent
that is mournful
that is inevitable

To ask you how you see
this world meant for us to believe
would you retell the same reflection
from which burns so brightly
in the eyes of the ocean?

Birth of Rekindling

Birth of Rekindling



whisper my love of

time like forever



never losing the other

nor chasing after another...



but healing shall come in the rekindling

as we embrace again and then erase



that which we must sail away from

and leave sinking down into the behind

Rekindling a Journey

Wind swept leaves fluttering in the breeze 
Walking on crunchy, bronzed and orange leaves 
Peaceful places leave traces of natures effects 
Bare trees hung with their dull bark, stripped of their objects
Scurrying across the ground, a chipmunk rushed to hide  
Horse hoof marks pressed into the mounds- 
Of softened soil, where they reside
Evening slowly falls around the woods,
As we walk with chatter, past the buttonwoods 
Leggy pines drop off their needles 
Blanketing the floor with an apple cedar rust 
Their fragrant scent mixes with the must
Now direction could easily be lost, as the woods all look the same 
A faint chirp of a bird calling out a name
Broken twigs and a hole where animals dug 
Carefully, I watch my position
Now, shadows lurk about like a magician 
The mind plays tricks on my intuition
The slightest bang and bow of the trees 
Knocking together as they squeeze
We walk hand and hand, while nature- 
Completes her expertise

Rekindling of the Memory

I remember the last time you said goodbye
It was a knife in my heart, I started to cry
You captured my soul, you captured my heart
I can not fathom a life with you apart
I close my eyes and I can still feel your kiss
Knowing that is only a part of what I will miss
The feel of your hands on my tender skin
Wanting and needing to feel you within
The lingering memory of our heated breath
Is now only a living death
I have never felt so undeniably free
As when it was just you and me
Ringing in my ears is the music of your laughter
Blind fully unaware that you were sought after
My heart will never be the same
For you alone will always carry my flame
The sweetest words that rolled off your lips
Sending my life into a total eclipse
Your eyes alone told of your love for me
Knowing now that this is our true destiny
We were made for each other of this there is no doubt
Our love grows stronger day in and day out
When I close my eyes I can still see your face
Remembering what we have will always have a place
