Creation

---

He caught a mote of dust
and held it in His hand.
Seeing something great within,
He made our earth so grand.


Forming hills and mountains tall
and oceans great and wide,
a gentle touch of His pure breath
and life began to stride.


Now man abounds upon this mote,
birds and fish and other life,
and all because one day He said
Now ... Let there be life !




Lessons

---

I stand at the crossroads and calmly wait
For my heart to decide where to go
Down the path that is easy and free of strife
Or the one that is harried with woe.


For sometimes the path that is easy
Is the one that is wrong for you.
Life has a habit of making a game
Of the lessons it puts us through.


We must play by the rules life has dealt us ...
No matter how they make us feel,
For sometimes the things that we feel are the worst
Are the stepping stones that help us heal.




Innocence

---

Fancy the child in us, holding onto the life
That once held us strong in its grips.
A life full of laughter, no cares and no woes ...
A sweet drink of water to quench parched lips.


Seen through the eyes of a virtuous child,
The world is a wondrous place ...
Bright and inquisitive, new and alive ...
A freshness that brings a smile to the face.


Innocence walks as the child within us
Seeing the world with eyes of candor
Purity of heart surrounds the soul
Allowing us to see much more.


To learn, to love, to discover how
To search, to ask, to ascertain why
Our hearts rule our minds in all that we do
From birth, through life, until we die.




Meditations

---

In the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives,
we sometimes forget to pause
To hesitate ... to rest ... for just one small moment in time ...
To reflect upon the delights and the abundance
of riches the world has to offer.
Peace, that surpasses all understanding, is ours to embrace.
We need but hesitate, to allow our minds the opportunity,
to welcome the serenity ...
To grasp the peace that is offered to us
and to hold it dear to our hearts.


Life’s secrets will be revealed to us
if we open our minds to the answers.
Relax ... find the secret garden that is hidden deep
within the corners of your mind.
Walk through the garden gate, sit upon the bench,
and heed the messages that you find.


Gaze upon a flower ... a rose ... feel the softness of the pollen
as it clings to your skin.
Admire the color ... from the light to the dark ...
touch the intricate wrinkles on the surface
Breathe in the sweet smell ...
and remember the fragrance as it lingers on your fingertips.


Turn your face to the sky and feel the coolness
of the breeze as it brushes your skin.
Like mother nature’s feather duster ... the breeze tickles ...
touching softly as it passes ...
Raising the hairs on your arms, as it circles
and envelopes your body like a cloak.


When your heart is filled with the peace you have found ...
and your soul is at rest ...
then continue your journey ...
pursue your goals ... fulfill your dreams ...
with an enlightened soul and a brighter outlook
for all the tomorrows of your life.
