she is with you
she is the angel that sits so near
her breath is the breeze
her eyes the sky
her smile the sun
that dries the rains
she needs no tears
to feel your pain
sing her favorite song
each day
sing
sing
sing……………..today

LBI retreat
January 29-30 Tranquil Seas Retreat- Gwynneth presents a seminar on Haiku
new year
is this new year
any different than the last
only in days spent
more
blissful , bright & content
shedding those
distressed, dysphoric wrapped in lament
take into toll
people who’ve crossed your path
asking, wanting nothing
other than sharing……..
laugh……ter
in the moments of disorder & confusion
letting others form the solution
not asking……… why
stating
why not
letting go of fears
and fearing not
for the support of friendships
are the rock
foundation
cornerstone of your soul
staring at & sharing truths
whether bold, old or new
the ties between you and i
the tie between the earth & sky
no secret to
universal trust
so it’s the new year
time for a toast
whether beer, bubbly or wine
raise your glass with mine
let’s make sure we savor & make the most
of each new day
creating memories that shall last
take on this new year
make it a blast….
hohoho
ho ho ho
what a hectic pace……
a shopping frenzy
in the Christmas madness
last minute stuff to do
maybe find some snow boots too
running here & there
at this time of merriment
let’s not forget that space
to hug and cherish
encompassing
those close & those far
open arms
embrace this season
impart a little joy
tenderness is shared
wishing peace upon the earth
hoping healthy days
Christmas snows blanket bows
on trees made of memories
warmed wine
& stuffed sugar plums waiting for guests to gormandize
a jolly season it is
for Santa lives
within each & every soul
ho ho ho
Merry Christmas
my love & best wishes
to you
thanksgiving wish
a thanksgiving wish
sent
with a kiss
of love & laughter
the parade is over
turn off the tube
did we forget
to remember today
to give thanks
to all around
and to those who we will
never forget
they touched our hearts
quelled our souls
on days
heavy & cold
warming with hugs
laced in sincere
guiding
steering
and always the 1st to cheer
remember thanks
not only this day
it’s each moment of every year
raise a glass
and make a toast
to all you love
and those you don’t
turkey & trimmings
should remind each year
of those we hold dear
i am stuffed
how about you
now sit back
and turn on the tube
never enough
games to watch
another brew or be it wine
kick back
relax
unwind
upcoming retreat
Kirkridge Retreat Center, Poconos, Pennsylvania, September 25- 27, 2009
in return
make love…………not war
make kind……… not nasty
make care, concern & fair ………………not pain, sorrow & despair
all
should
could
would
understand
yet
some will never grasp
move on
move away
for they live in the past
of hostility
of bitterment
swallowing their days
while we pick flowers
and play
for
allowing
kindness……..care & concern
into a soul
allows
for love
in return
what is the reason
yesterday’s wisdom
didn’t leave the room
stayed undisclosed on the shelf
life’s happenings
tucked in
the safety of a drawer
stored
for another day’s view
poetic lines didn’t fall this time
rather words
short
sharp
& curt
expressing loss & pain
reaching
hoping
to attain
reasoning
why fear follows 1
why dread accompanies
what is the reason for this
what is the reason
seasons change so easily
winds from warm to cold
exposed skin now wrapped in clothes
an ocean of emotions
spilled upon the shore
i will save you
i will save you
no matter where hurt lies
if it is only a tear that is shed
or if it is a cry
i will save you
i will save you
no matter where hurt lies
if it is fear that burdens
or apprehensive sighs
look no further
i stand before you
willing
to carry
the weight
the burden
the hurt
the pain
what is the reason
what is the reason
that smile
warming my heart
a painless laugh
that sets 1 free
so smile
& laugh
with me
pink
pour a drink
something pink
girlfriends’ say
“the cure”
ailments to declare
sip
sip
sip
and spin
into a space
uncomplicated
no race to the finish line
pink eases anger
& mistrust
enough………….. to find
a…………ttude
(an……….attitude)
