Following The Sound

I humbly approach
your hallowed realm
with bowed head
and earnest intent
in gratitude for
all that has been entrusted
to my hand
shaping images into sounds
and symbols into words
flowing through the pen
following the sound
of an inner voice
speaking softly within
tracing a way
unsure and unaware
of what is to come
from the voice
that knows my name

When You Reach

when you
reach
for my hand
I'll be
but a
breath away

you
in me
I
in you

All Will Be Silent

all will be silent
when you see it

the end has begun
as you look

but it will
not be found

you will know
when it arrives

and embraces you
as one of its own

Credo

I believe
in what
cannot be seen

trust what
little I
know

listen when
the voice speaks
my name

know when
to keep
silent

move deliberately
silently and
slowly

wait for light
to open the way
to the unknown

keep within
what is
of self

and tell others
nothing they need
not know

Source

you are source
movement within being
core of believing
all that has been
and will be
as one again

Invocation III

may you continue to live

with love grace and sincerity

in your heart

finding beauty and humor

in the art

of simple things

nurturing creativity and

discovery in your

life and work

may your faith 

sustain and guide you

in your quest for peace

opening to the mysteries

of nature in 

the world around you

may your spirit never wan

but sustain and fulfill your quest

for contentment and happiness

as you carry the sun 

in your life each day

for you are the joy

that walks by my side

and are but a hand's breadth

away from my touch

If You Listen

if you listen
to the wind
whisper your name
in the space
between the leaves
you have found
the place that holds
all of everything

to see
is to know

to listen
is to sense

the essence
of silence
