GETTING IT

Sitting
Waiting
Wind blowing news-grams
Friendly message arrives for you

No postage due
Subtle warning
Become unglued
From your comfort zone

Spring is coming
But not too soon
To suit you
Or mute you
From complaining

Message is here
To warn you
Don’t lose time
Live today
And take what unfolds

Then no regrets
In future retrospection

Live every day
Don’t waste a minute
Of your miracle
Which is life itself

Damn fool
Move now

With thanks
For new awareness

And gratitude for this
State of enchantment

GIFTS

These are for you
They are my best gifts
They are my tears
They are my joy

They are my loss
They are my gain
They are my energy
They are my passion

And sadly

They fall short
Of expressing
The true
Higher qualities
Which we all have
Within us
And want to use

As we express ourselves
In living our lives
On a daily basis
Within the parameters
Of God’s purpose for us

May His peace and guidance
Always be with you
These would be the real gifts
The precious gifts

QUIET JOY

So many time we perceive joy as happiness
Brought on by a successful event or some victory
We may become audacious, even ignore other
Important things going on about us

But there is another joy not marked by
Laughter, celebration or outward smiles
This joy is held by those who do not
Necessarily reek with optimism

They intuitively connect with the
Seriousness of condition. They are
Aware of the hard reality of life, but
Do not build walls of the cages, that

They could find protection in
No, the evil powers about them
Are challenged by legal means or
By prayerful meditation and good acts

Death is a possibility, but it will be under control
It is an everlasting peace that they point to
Suffering will be shared; then released
It is now that they find their quiet joy
