Long Stilling Poems

The years have passed quietly,
	Moments poured out in timeless winds,
Falling from my spirit, shadows, 
	Wistful, blurred images, photographs,
Twisting, turning, trembling,
	Black and white, tinted presences
Of those I know, those I’ve known,
Some gone, some old, some broken...

Hidden beneath the hopes and dreams, gentle
Feelings, inspiring me to trust, believe
Fondness this alive isn’t accidental
It feels amazing, just like Christmas Eve,
Joyful and inspired, like a heart afire
Breathing whispers of light over the soul
Remembering the...

Transient and therefore necessarily unreal like a...

In the blinded moments,
Before the mist rises over the tumbling surf…
Blueness tempting awake my dreams,
A heartbeat from the flaming blaze,
Sunshine pouring through the clusters of 
Feathery clouds, like the breath of peace
Aroused from the falling...

There is a water glint,
just shining through the copse beyond.
Autumn's sinking sun, 
barred by spindle trees and the last 
of summer's brindled reeds 
and sedge and rush that fringe this stilling pond.

Damp leaves hide...

Like the breathless air of twilight,
As the moon softly rises and tempts the stars
Into the quiet revelations, admissions
Grace, splendor, magnificence…
Painting the dreams with a quivering ink,
Spilled upon the emptiness beneath the still, white page,
Simplicity at...

On the edge of the leaf, spinning,
Out of control, glistening
Slowly dancing – a waltzlike trembling,
glad to see the hesitation of colors,
graceful as sun’s reflection on the waters,
lakes of melancholic, drifting
soundless and soothed by the twisting,...

Reflected in the moon’s soft glow,
A silent thought, reassuring
Moments caught by a lullaby,
Soft and soothing, gentling the colors,
Faded beneath the still, cool skies…

Whispers of faith flow through the nocturnal,
Dreary is the fate of those who...

Gentle leaves, breathing soft prayers,
	Praising the One who silences the seas,
		Sends peace through the flow of winds,

Gentle leaves, in hues of hopeful, delicate
	Gold, mahogany, tangerine – crisp beauties,
		Stories beneath the laughing gatherings,

Gentle leaves, pouring out...

When I visit another place, another state, another note
Who writes its hope, its grace, its peace
From the gentle rains, the tranquil rivers and streams
The broken tears of a mourning dew, silent as the joy
Who abides...

When God writes the story, His poetry is like music
Filled with blessings, warm and honest – sincere as the love He grants
When God sends the promise, His light frees the spirit
Leaving the shadows with assurance...

He erases the darkness of night, the shadows
So alive in the heart who grieves, 
Silencing the beautiful, the breathtaking, the blessings
With the dawn, sunrise comes to life,
Whispering wonders into the spirit who hears
His voice, in...

I remember those moments
So far from me now, the past echoes
Defeated by the silence of my womb,
The deafening silence breaking through
Peaceful moments, gentle breathes,
Serenity, sincerity, soothing… 
The longed for caress – softly stilling
Cries from the...

Bold as the lie that says –
Authenticity isn’t blessed by the truth,
Who exists in reasoning, thinking…
Outside the box, beyond the echo of light,
Despite the shadows and silhouettes of night…

Thinking, like the reflection of a heart...

As we then thus rest in dynamic stillness of innocence 
Attentively watching with a loving longing
We detect ripples of thought as obstructive interference
Blocking us from with our lover entwining

Stilling not our stillness we now let...

When I stare at the empty page,
And it just stares back at me, unimpressed
By my inspirations, my feelings, my prayers,
All the whimsical imaginings, creative
Thoughts, poems and prose
Listening to the music of breathless
Smiles, startling joys, flames
Burning...

Eternal buzz of voices, heard by the wind
Stilling the music of yesterday,
Reassuring the soul has a friend
Breathless music of hers and his, in amazing
Stories, poetry and senses, embracing
Kissing away the melancholic wounds, feelings
Dazed by the...
