BREATHE I

BREATHE I...

This day in its giving... breathe I, a resonant breath, all in homage, a bow to the blessings that sustains us...

            a breath that remembers,

                a breath that honors,

                   a breath that aligns,

                        a breath that becomes its own prayer

                            a breath that breathes GOD.

Dogwood in Magical Light

 Haiku

evening hour to come

dogwood in magical light

snow in crystal blooms.

Birth of Blue

 

Birth of Blue

The sun in its rising grace

A birth of blue it does place

Magical be the white of snow

Beheld in the sun's morning glow.

Morning New

 

morning new outside my window

dogwood holding to the blooms of snow 

its spirited knowing blessed be

God's grace, the beauty of a garden tree.

within its beauty I became lost

within its knowing I became graced

Crystal Light

Crystal Light

A treasure trove of crystal light 

Snow in its opulence of white

Branches donned in the glory of grace 

Upon dogwood and bamboo so magically placed 

Beheld be the gift of nature's beauty divine

Majestic, the quietude, the grandeur of time.

...the snow... the stillness... the beauty... 

the dogwood in its magical blooms of snow crystals 

held in fullness upon each branch... 

the soft bend of lithe bamboo

the calm that allows 

all to BE in its blessed grace...

Invasive presence...

What be this invasive presence

One that lodges itself 

One that consumes

One that destroys

One that takes breath 

One that brings life to a close

Be there CANCER NO MORE...
