When Illness Prevails

When Illness Prevails

When illness prevails
One must lower one’s sails
Maybe throw out a sea anchor
or tie up at a berth

And as one is forced into a rest state
and lets go of the calendar date
there may be some discomfort
yet peace in the process

When illness happens rarely
to contrast sometimes unfairly
to a state of action and thriving
it may fuel the reviving

What causes our illness
our fevers or chilledness
may remain a mystery
or may go down in history

We may recognize the source of
an imbalance then the course of
a spin out of control –
how away we did roll

The peace and the quiet
allows all to settle
we try it
and balance is restored
and the lesson not ignored

One returns then perhaps cautiously
to an existence of generosity
now reminded the value of
precious time, rest and love

A Mother’s Prayer

A Mother’s Prayer

A prayer for you
A prayer for our child
Carried within
Soon to be born to the wild

No longer contained
A world to explore
An innocent being
Full of wisdom and more

The Love that you bring
to this world at this time
has the ability to dissolve
all the strife and the crime

Our prayer for you
as you enter our world
is that Peace also births
like a fetus uncurled

And may Love and may Peace
mature over time
growing with you
as you crawl and then climb

And when you can stand
alone and with strength
may Love and may Peace
reach the width and the length

of not only this world
but every dimension and star
For Peace and Love to contain you
it must reach infinitely far
