Symphony of Seasons
In the changing seasons
Of my life,
I discovered myself
In Love.
Deeply.
My mind overflowed with
Dreams,
Visions and
Prophecies
Of a not-so-distant
Future.
Autumn
Autumn.
The sky glows orange.
The leaves,
Brilliant golds and reds,
Turn slowly to browns.
The changing of the season
Offers new life;
A chance to be born a-new.
Out on the deck
We touch.
Our hands venture out
To discover each other.
Our bodies tingle and
Writhe in new sensation.
Our lips,
Wet and
Sweet to the touch.
Our Love
Is fresh.
In autumn
I fall
In Love
With you.
Winter
Winter.
The trees are bare.
My heart is full.
I watch you
As you sit
Reflecting…
I come to you;
I stroke your hair.
I kiss your forehead.
I acknowledge
My Love for you.
You hold me
In your arms.
We sit
Reflecting…
I am so in Love
With you.
Spring
Spring.
Green covers the land.
My heart dances.
Our Love feels young,
Playful and
Strong.
Our kisses
Filled with passion.
Lying on the grass,
Rolling,
Our bodies
Wrap around as one.
Holding each other tight,
Letting go…
Our eyes look up
Toward the heavens.
We are thankful,
Full of praise
As our Love
Becomes us.
Our hands touch.
Our fingers link.
I lean closer to you.
The sound of your breathing
Soothes me.
I caress your body,
My Love overflowing.
I am at Peace.
Summer
Summer.
Evening.
A warm breeze
Caresses your cheek
As it moves along its path
Towards oceans and
Foreign lands…
I hear the leaves rustling.
A song.
So soft
Is your face…
So gentle
Is your touch…
I melt
Into the warmth and
The steady beating of your heart.
These are the sounds of Love,
Of loving you.
On this warm summer evening
My life is complete.
Where Last Your Spirit Lay
Where last your spirit lay
There I walked
And listened
And sensed
I saw you again
Peeking out from behind
Scooting here and there
Playing a game with me
I laughed
You could always make me laugh…
I miss you
Tenderly…
Lovingly…
Gently caressingly
I can feel
Your tender touch
Here
Where last your spirit lay
I’ll take you with me now
To rest
In my heart
Forever…
You are mine
I am yours
One
True
Love
NEW MOON 1983
Woman .
Moon .
With each new moon comes a new woman.
Life is a cycle she carries within her.
Woman.
Celebrate your covenant with God.
You are unique and full
As the moon is light in the darkness.
Flow with new life of coming months.
Moon .
Celebrate woman!
STRAIGHT IN THE EYE 1997
Open your eyes, open your eyes and see
That you know love only through hate and anger
And through terror, fear and threats
Open your eyes and see that this is a legacy
You are passing on to your children
Open your eyes.
Open them wide and wider
Until you see another way to know love.
Run from the terror,
The hatred, the fear, the threats.
Run far away.
But only if you have looked it all
Straight in the eye,
And gathered the strength to stand up
And say, "NO MORE!"
Then take all the love you see.
Wear it everywhere. Share it with everyone.
Leave love for your children,
And their children. Study war no more.
VESSEL 1984
I have become a vessel.
An instrument of God.
I no longer play the songs.
I am the songs.
The prayers.
My words are no longer mine.
They're gifts I have received for a purpose not my own.
I wonder......
In this world there's a song.
In our hearts we sings it.
G-d.
Soul Solitary
In the midst of the lush summer green
And the golden orange brown Fall
I find myself in a desert
A solitary soul
Reaching out all around me
I touch no one
Yet I am touched by everyone
Their presence I can feel
I seek them out for guidance
I try to understand
Break through the walls of silence
I want to hold your hand
Tell me why must I continue
To stand here alone in the dust
Help me muster up the courage
To give more to receive
The love that I am surely worthy of
To stand alone no more
Even in the desert
Scattered, broken – I kneel before you
Humbled, I hang my head
So tired of feeling lost in thought
Wanton of direction
To be raised back from the dead
This sleepy haze I live in
