Poetry to Inspire You
Like A Candle
the Earth gives us fuel
our bodies hold the wick
above is our flame
shining our light
feel that inner pathway
acknowledge what feeds us
shine our light bright
join in with others
like a sea of candles
soon the shadows
will be outshone

Edge Worn
a tire, a spade
a saw with its blade
a cliff, a snow drift
the knives we cut with
even our teeth
the shoes that we wear
edges are vulnerable
to a chip or a tear
as we observe
or replace or repair
there is a constant in life
there is change out there

Capricious
our outer world is capricious
unstable, always changing
our inner has stillness
awareness
open space
a constant returning
to the sanctuary held within
gives us stability, a safe place
coming home to re-begin
