Loving Kindness
loving kindness is a natural state
an expression of goodness, an open gate
allowing the passage of time to come and go
allowing the variables to be in the flow
with acceptance, tolerance
and compassion

Water Time
Water Time
she calls us to listen
to submerge in her depths
to observe her reflections
to taste her salty breath
the peace and the motion
the rhythm of waves
the lure to then travel
in leisurely ways
the waters envelop
the Earth like a skin
let us pause, let us honour
where life on Earth did begin
gifted time we give gratitude
to this precious resource
ours to protect and to cherish
this our life-giving source

Blossoms of Eternity
Blossoms of Eternity
mother, father
sister, brother
childhood friend
when their life’s near the end
we are called to be there once again
a time of reflection
happy memories, shared lifetimes
often gaps in our timelines
though always the connection
to the same vine
its the back to our roots time
love exposed, intertwined
strengthened by our common roots
we once again reveal our truths
or simply be together
having grown
let us shed the leaves of our sorrow
they will fuel a fertile morrow
let us celebrate their soul’s journey
honour who they have been and will be
for as their spirit lives on
and can be called upon
to enter as a presence
both sacred and free
their presence a comfort
to you and to me
and an aspect of the we
we have consciously become
a lifetime is thus carried on
to be contained in our song
and for as long as we can sing
what joy it will bring
these blossoms of eternity
blessed, blessed be
