The Evermore
life’s possibilities extend always
into the evermore
what we intend for the future
is never the same as before

A Gift of Love
A Gift of Love
we are gathered together
because of one man’s gift of love
a simple remembrance of him
his gentle presence
is felt in our hearts
so many he has touched
because of how he lived
for he lived from the heart
his joy of life
his honouring of others
his acceptance of
what is is
his friendships are everlasting
his life of service, of caring
continues on
for we have been blessed
by his gift of love

From the Balcony
the view from the balcony
as the unrest persists
gives rise to a quagmire
does a solution exist?
watching two people
whose dear friend has just died
they have so much in common
can their emotions subside?
from one there is hatred
resentment, denial
the other is numbed
the whole world feels defiled
oh to capture the essence
of a love that’s perpetual
and grow it beyond
beyond reacting to the perceptual
with our senses attuned
our awareness is heightened
and there is a yearning to live
in the realms of the enlightened
there is a warning to heed
what is our ability to interpret?
do we have the ability to paint
and redesign our self-portrait?
from senses to the brain?
or senses to the heart?
detached from, on the balcony
we observe, feel into and restart
who are the actors
and do we not all play a part?
