Like a Flower

My Life like a flower
blossoming in the sunlight
burst of golden love
as gentle as opening petals
of a spring rebirth
quenched in morning dew

My blood flows green
as the leaves on the tree
I come from the earth
as free as a sky filled with branches
like fingers gripping the skies

My soul flies through to the edge of the atmosphere
beyond outward into the endlessness of space

Wings opening to soar and the harshness on no one
clips feathers in freedom of Spirit.

That Beauty Craves It's Place

That beauty craves it's place
alive with white light
You  
walk the tightrope
we live with lines of change
so fast
seem to want it all
not ever knowing what "it" really is
making judgments based on uncertainty
we lean on history
consoled in the repetition of mistakes
seeing them engraved in stone
like markers in a cemetery
passed on to one another (concepts)
passed on, souls, one to another (lives)
a spark that fills matter
precious life
precious life
Too sacred to destroy.

Eons Passed

Eons passed

I look at the world

through crystal eyes

seeing many reflections

of the people I have been

time weaving trails of wandering memories

deep in the dark empty space …

on the windswept edge of a great fresh lake

I balance on the razor edge of fate

falling, falling, down into the tunnel of life

downward

awaiting an opening on the other side

of life

The other side of life.
