Happy New

Happy New

happy new
every moment in time
celebrating the beauty
that life has to share

we measure and name
our measurements in time
minutes, hours and days
there are so many ways
to divide the infinite

by being conscious and aware
we have so much to share
there is nothing to compare
to the present moment

Ending Beginning

Ending Beginning

ending and beginning
are only just names
they don’t really exist
as we’ve come to know
there is a continuous flow

our spiritual presence
is here all the time
we only use words
trying to define
how we relate to time

Tree Frogs

Tree Frogs

the tree frogs are speaking
there’s a chorus outside
multiple voices
saying we are alive

and then there is quiet
like they woke up too soon
the sky still holds darkness
no light of the moon

we welcome the silence
perhaps a little more sleep
drifting back into dreamtime
before the new day we meet
