Soul ElixirGratitude, a mental notion,
The soul’s healing potion
A daily habit, a practice so true
Seeding joy and peace anew.
With thankful heart and focused mind,
A world of blessings our heart to divine.
Every moment, major or minor,
Is a chance to make the practice finer
Sunrise, sunset, or firmament of stars,
Laughter, tears, even healing scars.
The birds that sing and clouds that...

Sipping My Tea
John 8:7
“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
Sipping herbal tea, my mind goes back
to the time when you said to me…
… let him without sin, cast the first stone…
The memory trembles in me,...

My brain does not know my nameMelting luck of what I am
just a burning pot on the stove,
gone too far beyond repair,
not sure if I even care,
used to stare at my past,
long gone way too fast,
like summer meets the ice,
my bones know who i am,
my brain does not know my name,
take me as far as the pain
can allow my hallucinations,
no...

Thanks to these storms to which I owe the power to wield my angst like a shining swordThanks to these storms to which I owe the power to wield my angst like a shining sword,
For they have taught me to shake off my fears and crush them at my weary feet,
I feel a whirlwind of air entering my anxious being, freeing me from the shadows of fear,
I owe them their icy stillness,...

ThanksThank you for reading my poetry
For as I write I feel happy and free
Though I don’t think my poems are much
They keep me engaged when out of touch
I write for me sometimes for you
To see if you feel the same as I do
No matter your situation or circumstances
We’re likely poets with similar ideals romantic...

The Youngest LightDedicated to my dearest youngest sister,
Happy Birthday Lucy (May 31)
Age of novice years,
a glow of purity along
with a smile of innocence,
born with a tiny frame yet
exuded an ultimate
presence.
A light like no other,
tremendous capability,
but how so?
In a sky of darkness,
you are a tiny dot of
bright light surrounded
by ones of a larger
proportion that casts
a shadow...

DAILY GRATITUDE HENRY JAMES
Today I’m grateful for the novelist Henry James….
perhaps because when it comes to this particular view
our thinking is aligned….
He said:
Three things in human life are important.
The first is to be kind.
The second is to be kind.
And the third …is to be kind.
