full circle

this tiny seed
breaks the shell
reaches strongly for the light

craves warmth, nourishment
unaware of its self,
follows the pull of Nature

to a final destination
unknown to the sprout
but written within

the secret unfolds, manifests,
delivers its fruit
in its own time

 

 

come walk with me

your hand reaches out
voice gently calls,
“walk with me”

just ahead,
not too far
walk with me

don’t look back,
all is changed
walk with me

this narrow path
but one can pass
walk with me

my heart holds you safe
if you agree
to come, walk with me

 

 

illness

eyes grow cloudy
steps may falter
take advantage

time is gone
for vain attempts
to quench this thirst

the wasting of the body
does not punish or erase
but turns the soul firmly

here and now, see the goal
let me move with conviction
to the beat of my heart
