full snow moon

the full snow moon rises
over a sea of white
spreading winter’s blessing to all

with few surprises
this moon
shines remarkably bright
warming the soul
from the cold

inhale a meditative breath
cleanse your head
of the superfluous

exhale a meditative sigh
unwrapping your desires

in this reflective
snow moon light
your mindfulness is clear
a time of silent patience
a time of contemplation
a time of quiet renewal

a time to
visualize your greatest aspirations

state
your intents
your goals
your dreams

the full snow moon
blends
it’s limitless gifts
with the universe’s infinite energy

inhale a meditative breath
with arms
out stretched

with a meditative exhale
sigh
accepting
the snow moon’s
blessings

Opame

lost
in
endless
and
endearing thoughts
of hope
of resilience
of survival

viewing life
as endless
viewing love
as limitless

her arms
gather
a family
built not of blood
but
formed through friendships
of trust
her words
pure of heart
guide
unselfishly

she
ordained
by the universe
carries
the jeweled
and
flaming rod
of respect
blessing
balance
upon those
she comes
in contact with

monotony

everyday
starts the same
a cup of coffee
a wish
a dream
clouds
of uncertainty

dressing
unfashionably
smiling
uneasily
pleasing
no one
but self
in a selfless style

light
fusing
objects
blending
rain drops
splattering
puddles
forming
waiting
to reflect
the sun
as they evaporate

just like the words
never materializing
into thought
a process lost
on some cold January day
or was it
in the dead air
and sweat
of July

did it matter
does it now

only if succumbing
to boredom

desolation

continue to reach
continue to stretch

continue to breathe
though difficult it may seem

the mind
in a void

the space
an abyss

reality
not within grasp

a task
a test
not to lay down
and die

a wretchedness
within
losing hope
losing desire
to win

a landscape
devouring
the will
the want
to conquer
the pain

somewhere deep
inside
this flesh
exists
an amazing
perseverance

the grit
of the soil
that holds these roots
are likewise
the rock
that anchors
one’s truth

one’s soul
finds beauty
finds resolve
in this desolate space

wolf moon

1st full moon
of the year
state your intentions
loud
and clearly believe
that the energy
shared
will
lighten burdens
in the darkness
of winter

hunger
lurking
in your veins
hunger
to improve
hunger
to fight
through
the cold

fill your
emptiness
with
aims and dreams

let your heart howl
with joy

lift your head high
and
howl

a mother’s blessing

good night sweetheart
my darling young one

may you sleep
with the sweetest of dreams
may worries never
wrinkle your brow
may you rest
with angel’s protection

i wait for morning
my heart overflowing
with affection

good night sweetheart
my little darling
my love

Christmas Cheer

it’s the time
of jolly
time to hang holly
time to celebrate

time to reflect
on the past
time to
be present

time to share
time to bear
the despairs
for those which we care

time to spread joy
to not only
the little girls & boys
but
to all whom you meet
a smile
a hug
a greeting of love

a seasonal spirit
infectious
contagious
transmittable

it’s up to you
it’s up to me
to be
the giver
the supporter
the patron
of the holidays

and so with this
i raise my glass
and cheer

wishing you
a blissful
Christmas!

you
you are the creator
of your reality

of your days

of your behavior

your grounding
your wholeness

a night bird
flies
through the cold
asking you to ponder
and think
whooo
whooo
whooo
are you

search your heart
search your soul

a night bird
perches
in the cold
asking you to contemplate
and deliberate
whooo
whooo
whooo
are you

search your heart
search your soul

the answer
lay in the quietude
of this bird’s
cold moonlit night

set aside
differences
disruptions
disturbances

search your heart
search your soul

the answer lay
in your
quiet sigh
whooo
whooo
whooo
am i

This Thanksgiving

this year
fill your plate with gratitude 

it doesn’t matter
what faith you are
let’s say a prayer
of thanks
receiving is easy
but it’s the giving
that blesses us

seeking to help
rather than complain
giving support
rather than walking away

maybe you have a turkey
on the table
and maybe you don’t
that isn’t what counts most

it’s the gathering
of friends
of families
or
a gathering
of who ever you might be
around a table
laden with love

reflecting on
each other
sharing strengths
letting weakness slide
walking away from tearful times
rejoice together this day
and the next

this is a time for contagious compassion
this is the time to spread joy and cheer
this is the time of thanks
this is the time of giving
