Healing hope

Posted on August 1, 2019 by eteal

When hopes are dashed,

We must learn to heal hope,

But first we must be able to see healing…

Nothing stays the same,

Healing happens.

Sunday Sea

Posted on July 29, 2019 by eteal

We took our spirits to the sea,

The pounding surf rose up before us,

As we reached for the silver linings we knew were there

Hidden

Under the clouds

As birds conversed all around us.

What were they saying?

Schooling

Posted on July 27, 2019 by eteal

I stand on the bridge

Staring into the spring run

Watching small schools of silver dance in the crystal water.

The past, present,and future swim before my eyes,

As water spills onto cheeks and into rivers.

One who does not believe in miracles

Has never seen the contagion of a smile.

Longing

Posted on July 20, 2019 by eteal

She lies on the mat

In front of the door

Where last she saw

The one she loves best

We all long for Love.

Trust it.

It always returns…

In fact

It never truly leaves.
