Finding Beauty

Life is Beautiful

…so they say

I read the news and shake my head

beauty in life isn’t here

Then one day I stop to look

past the conflict - hate and crime

Today I see the hummingbird

fluttering at my window

I see the mother robin

caring for her young

The sky so picture perfect blue

with wisps of cotton candy clouds

People nod and smile at me

touching my soul this simple way

Yes…

Life is Beautiful

…when we take the time to see.

Do We Write?

Do we write the stories?

Are they are own creations?

…or are the souls of the past finding us

    telling of their lives

It must be so…

I have no idea how I write these thoughts

Ancient souls are touching me

Embracing my mind

Continue to listen I must

...to let their stories live

Emerging Day

Feeling the embrace of this morning blanket

the peace of being part of life in the silent busy dawn

wanting this feeling to live in me throughout the growing day
