The WARRIOR Within

The WARRIOR Within

Pulsing sounding of heart
Breath and life ne’er depart
Reaching, grasping quest be known
The cry, the call for love be shown
Tenderness and care, constant be the refrain
Life and destiny calling its claim
Heed well the need, the desire
For expressed be the passion and fire
The questing soul holds to light divine
Beyond all constraint, all confine
The WARRIOR Within sounds liberation’s plea
The SELF, the SELF, the conceived destiny.

Such Be the Gift

Such Be the Gift 

Touches of crimson on the dogwood tree

'Tis the play of color in this season to be

Each leaf holds glimmers of gold

Within, the story of days be told

'Tis Summer's end, hail to the Autumn anew

Treasures of color in many a hue

Such be the gift of tree and time

The breath of beauty, the pulse sublime.
