Waking to Darkness

Waking to darkness of the days
Day in day out
Rest here
Sit quietly in the pain of given birth
A new day has dawn
A day of lighter and brighter
It is in our thoughts we receive
Thoughts we let go
Yet again
And again
Waking to darkness of our days
New light shines forth
Brighten skies await our gaze
New Canvas our brush
Luscious fervor reflection
Come to the waters
On shores of sea
Cosmic proportions
For you and me

Giving Thanks

Another passing season

Changing winds

Frigid

Entryway to a darkened soul

Gratitude for Light

Illuminating thought

Change reality

Nearby torch

Fanning Canvas’ flames

Alone and afraid

Brightened day authenticity

Forward into cold darkened night

Emerging flame

Eternal warmth.
