hold onto the love and joy and
peace and beauty all around singing
into hearts and homes and
the entire world as we
reach for one another and
listen to each other and
give patience a chance
to do her work
for beauty and peace
and joy and love
to have a place to
hold onto

Time
Take some
More often
To breathe so you can
Live well
Sun shining, flowers blooming in an
Explosion of spring coming toward
Us and we hardly know what to do
First with all the new and surprising
Things giving fresh perspective and
Hope for good to prevail as the
Buds pop on the trees into new leaves
Tulips radiate gladness in the shade of
Evergreens and scattered amidst the
Chaos of the spreading ground cover
That somehow withstands the trampling
Feet of tiny humans and animals
As we all lean toward summer while
Breathing in the glorious spring at hand
not sure what to say more when
it seems as if I've said it all at least
a million times
speaking of love
speaking of faith
speaking of heartache and
pain that keeps coming at
the world while the world
doesn't pay attention
saying all and nothing
yet I keep on speaking because
somehow it seems important to
try, important to be heard even
if only by myself
and the angels who attend
holding onto light is not
a thing that is possible really
we can allow it to surround
us and fill us and saturate our
entire lives as we seek it
and as we find eternal light
it works upon our souls
changes us, in a way
makes us, creates us anew
maybe we do get to a point where
we can hold it when
light is so much a part of us that
it is found in every fibre of our
hearts and hands as
we emulate the
One who made
life possible
