The light awakens
Dawn drives us briskly forwards
Amongst the living

Girls in my life
Does she see herself
Gifted, talented and bright?
We tear our girls down.
Growing beyond surviving
Anyone who seeks to turn
Trauma and horrors’ emotional energy
Towards compassion and kindness
Embraces the deepest wisdom.
Our culture has a dearth of love.
I applaud all those who
Long to grow that seed.
The need is great.
Waiting
Sit, waiting for God,
Grasping tranquility’s joy.
Peacefulness transcends.
Never Enough
Fear motivates,
Drives us mad,
Greed, envy, despair:
And we know not how to resist.
Winter Sun
Cold sunlight flowing
Burning deeply to my core
Freeing from despair
Change is upon us
Darkness hints at cold
Wintertime’s whispered approach
Dew drops now frozen
Living
Living is movement,
An obscured destination
Lights within darkness
Emptiness of cynicism
Cynicism’s dead
Devoid of joyous dreaming
Vanishes like mist
For Hope
One cannot exist
Upon the empty promise
Of cynicism
