Displace My Heart

Displaced my heart,

I come to find,

In union lost,

In this I'm not,

I'm still,

I pray,

I turn within,

I breathe,

I know,

In me,

Is Him.

Night Folds

Light the page the moon glow

illuminates the folds,

All the mountain creases

All the valleys old,

Each crease its valley story,

Each mountain yet to climb, 

Bends and tuck lay hidden,

In fold's unwritten rhyme.

Arborist's Prayer

Morning thick the heat lights

dusty in our sweat,

Pitchforks tine the mulch

and spread

this blanket wet.

Quenching root

the stand we save,

With all our efforts made,

And gratefully the favor,

Is now repaid in shade.

Morning Stirrings

This gesture stirring

silently within my heart,

I want to share it

with you,

Touch you with it,

Softly,

Gently,

A wisp,

A slight breath,

Whispered close

to warm your soul,

To awaken you,

And stir you

from your

slumber.

Sister Prayer

Dear Father, Mother, God, Our dear sister is calling for You,
and calling in her angels, and the universe. Please cradle her in Your
loving arms, and hold her during this sacred time when her humanness
may try the depths of her faith in You. We encircle Her and open
our hearts to channel Your loving embrace; lifting her to the light
and out of any shadow that may prevent her from seeing Your infinite
wisdom and pure and everlasting love. Thank you God for the blessings
You bestow upon her and the many joys and blessings You send
through her to her loving family and friends. Thank you for granting
her the grace and the wisdom to sit in peace today, to hear Your
loving word and feel Your gentle hand. For this we are thankful and
gratefully pray. ~ Amen.

Our Between

Let go your heart not
For the person you wish me to be
Nor the person I dream to become,

Let go your heart not
For the hope that I have the strength
to mend and hold it safely,
I can barely mend or hold my own,

Let go your heart not for anyone,
Cradle it tenderly and sit in peace,
Let it quiet your mind,
And feel your heart answers beat softly,
They are yours, alone.

But alone you will never be
If we can hold onto our between.

Quiet Moment

Quiet, oh please still my mind,
Quiet, join and bring the stillness,
Quiet, let me find peace in you,
In me,
Quiet
