Hollowed Out

Hollowed Out

hollowed out like a pumpkin
just the shell remains
readied, a container
as life is reframed

perhaps start with a candle
lit from within
with warmth and with radiance
it’s a place to begin

and as the breath that we breathe
the out and the in
we radiate our love
then receive,  to within
no longer without
receive and begin

Effigy

Effigy
let us honour and not distort
an effigy of Bill
let us model who he was
and from the best distill
his way of being
his way of seeing
he knew our strength is 
in the sharing of ourselves
and of our love 
and our gifts
and in coming together
as aspects of 
a greater whole

Not Alone

Not Alone

bespoken and received
with a quality of fair
quantum denial
was certainly out there

precious the singletude
of options aligned
confronting the deniers
with courage designed

designed for opportunities
to sing a new tune
to move from midnight
and reign at high noon

scholastic endeavours
will seldom replace
the skills that are heart held
found by living in grace
