MOMENT by MOMENT …

                                                          the Momentum of a vision

                                                          the Omnipresence in blessings

                                                          the Manifestation in expression

                                                          the Evolutionary in dominion

                                                          the Nurturance in grace

                                                          the Treasure of breath and BEING…

With Each Breath New

With Each Breath New

I AM the light of the dawning day

the gentle call of the wind

the sweet song bird song

the moon that calls to the tides

the sun that touches a bloom

the soaring eagle that rises above the storm

I AM the light of the dawning day

the star that shines ever so brightly

the rain that in libation gives its gift

the thunder that sounds the spirit of change

the butterfly that holds to such delicate beauty

the rose with petals softly velvet and piercing thorns

I AM the light of the dawning day with each breath new.

Flame of Breath

Flame of Breath

every experience, every need, every perception

every thought, every longing, every deception

to KNOW THYSELF from each consideration of life

be it of anticipation, of vision, of glory, of strife

a moment, comes to be both the present and the past

every breath of BEING, a seed upon consciousness cast

heed the sounding of change and each calling desire

quell not the flame of breath that feeds passion’s fire.

What Color of Spirit...

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

What color be this moment ~ What mood ~ What spirit of BEING...

Is it the red of passion that sparks with flame and desire

It it the orange of a setting sun that holds to Creation's fire

Is it the yellow that dances with knowing joy and delight

Is it the green that lives the blessings of God's light

It is the blue so vast and clear of a day time sky

Is it the indigo of the night and stars on high

Is it the violet of Spirit’s crowning grace

Is it the magenta that holds Soul’s place

It is each, each and ALL

Heed the silent and resounding call.
