Poetry to Inspire You
The Presence
there is a fullness to the sound
that rings from sacred space
to hear it we must welcome it
from the stillness of that place
listen to and absorb
that ringing in our ears
there are no words spoken
there is a presence that appears
the comfort of belonging
with a presence that is complete
we are welcomed in, acknowledged
by the very Presence that we seek

Play
in this infinite playground
be inspired to play
the joy of creation
invites us into each day

Persephone
goddess of earth, of soil
brought forth from ancient traditions to proclaim
we are here to germinate and to nurture
by being planters of seeds and of grain
pastoral landscapes or soil in a cup
the size and expanse matters not
but to save and to cherish for a continuous supply
every seed is like on our map just a magical dot
may Persephone inspire a metaphoric intent
to plant seeds of all we want to grow
to harvest, protect, to share and to sow
the best seeds for our future that we want to know
