This Phoenix Speaks

Seven years in the making, my first published book, This Phoenix Speaks , is now a reality. The tireless and tiring work invested to ma...

run



Pierced. 

From the moment we met. 

Pierced with feelings that we 

Cannot run from. 


Matched. 

Like the king and queen 

Of hearts. 

Quite a lovely pair. 


Scattered. 

By careless actions. 

Scattered like sand in an 

Hourglass about to run out. 


Bound. 

Throughout time and space. 

Bound to find each other one 

More time if we dare. 


all creation



The sky seems to understand 
The aching heart that does not
Understand itself. 
The stars seem to know 
Just what to say without
Any words at all.
The rivers sing to lovers 
When it might not sound like 
Anything but rushing waters. 
The mountains call out, even beckon, to 
The lone and lost of
This chaotic world. 
The earth beneath our feet 
Grounds our thoughts and lifts 
Us beyond the space we occupy. 
The air we breathe has joy and
Love and forgiveness for 
Our bodies to absorb. 
The light touches on the 
Soft spots that hurt a little too 
Much, until all is healed.
All of God's creation seems to be in perfect
Harmony of thought and deed, working 
For our good. 

darling you



Ponder what you need, 

Darling. 

Is it kindness, gentleness, or an affectionate 

Embrace? 

I wonder if you know what I need, 

Darling. 

Perhaps, today, it is compassion, faithful companionship, or

Your kiss. 

Let yourself wonder at what could truly be—not some dream, 

Darling. 

Feed yourself the gentle love you need, so you can share some

Love with me. 

Open up your heart and give yourself the long awaited chance, 

My darling. 

Partake of the loyal love you have within reach, and 

Take my hand—soon. 





it takes you



It takes a lifetime of looking toward

The light to find the strength to discern

Goodness when it gets so bright you can hardly 

Fathom what you're seeing. 


It takes a heart that wants to challenge

What you've always known and watch 

For truth in something new and very 

Different from preconceived notions. 


It takes one honest step in the direction of

Your everlasting dreams of love and light and 

True happiness to find the joy you've always

Known existed without knowing where or how.


It takes one sliver of a breath of courage to 

Be who you know you can become if you 

Just stand up and do what is right and 

Let God prevail in your life.
