Gentleness and Kindness

Gentleness and Kindness

To be gentle
To be kind
At our very core we will find
the essence of love
that is waiting to shine

We are born into being
and nurtured into seeing
but what of within
where we wanted to begin

At some special moment
an awakening occurs
and a desire to understand it
is the enticement that allures

So if the key to our journey
has been hidden within
let’s not wait to finally get there
Let us start here and begin

Wherever we find ourselves
is a perfect place to be
and to be kind, to be gentle
to all we witness and see

And to be gentle with ourselves
and kind not abusive
will allow us to understand
a meaning that’s elusive

A meaning for life
Each individual journey
Any suffering experienced
or witnessed as learning

Why we are here
why we answered the call
was to add our perspective
to the infinite All

Dancing with all life forms
Singing with the tunes
Being here, taking action
Watching creation as it blooms

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

The Infinity Tree

The Infinity Tree

The deaths of the ancestors
have been surpassed
With the newness of becoming
A new die has been cast

A difficult concept
as reality shows
Into a wholeness
as expansiveness grows

Inclusive of all
that has been and will be
We’re here to grow into
the Infinity Tree
