Exploding Star
August 24, 2025
We are dancing the stardust
Of an exploding star
Dreaming beyond this now.
The melodies of the heavens
Joining with earth’s own harmony
Creating a new symphony of life.
The laughter of children
Cradled in the wisdom of grandmother’s arms
And embraced n grandfather’s remembrance.
Rituals of healing
Softening the tears of yesterday
While tenderly offering hope.
As new rains call the seedlings
To flower.
And we the once were
Even now
Forever in radiance.

Gently Falls
August 10, 2025
Gently falls the soft blown rain
Gently stills my soul
It rains
My mother I feel not the earth tears loss But the gentle, gentle healing
Soothing a well worn world.
Do not try to think this time
Only let the metered patter of the rain Drum gently at your heart
Until the soothed silence fills the emptiness Baptizing — Renewed

Funny isn’t it?
There is no assurity
Only walking each step
Wondering
Maybe yes — Maybe no
This is a very important

Memories
June 22, 2025
Measure of time unfolding memories
Of gentle days and soft nights
Only the deepest most sacred moments
Preserved as golden treasures
Only those memories held with
Soft smiles
And tender love
