When you are happy sing it.

GOOD INTENTIONS 
 
I walk on an unseen path
Trying to distance my heart
From long suffering
 
I keep blaming myself
As life drops jagged rocks in my passage
Blocking all my expectations
 
Tumble…tumble again and again
 Trying to manage…
To hold my head up high
With crooked missteps and good intentions
Aiming at everything while hitting nothing
 
I just endure this life
Afraid of failing
Avoiding being vulnerable
Forever reaching for more
 
Thrumming along
Hoping to crack this
Barren shell of wanting
While the sunlight warms 
The earth in silence.

​THE WAY
 
The way the clouds sweep across the sky
The way the day is swallowed by time
The way the wind whispers that you are here
The way a morning can change your point of view 
The way the geese loudly make their call
The way a smile makes sense of it all
The way nothing stands still
The way everything fades
The way to follow a path
Without hurting a soul
The way living in the moment
Opens your heart
The way we live with our choices 
While we seek to divinely grow.

Prioritize your realization.

 THE TULIPS
 
The tulips say it all...
They allow the presence of light
To reach the spirit of what is
And without hesitation
They explode with life’s gift
 Blossoming into the world


By living their time with intent
They unknowingly touch my heart
I take a deep breath to join their energy
And for a moment 
Alter the passage of time.
