Rise and Be Seen-Poetry

Rise
and be seen
your truth
is our gift

the richness of love's beauty
soothes a man's soul
we reach one another
in this way
through the silent moments
between breaths
the petal floating gently
down to earth
to land between the spaces of two blades of grass

so see
we want to know your beauty

Rise
and be seen

Soul Love

I can't speak
of earthly love today

a new love
embraces me
a grander love
beyond expectations

beyond you and me

a simplicity
a single flower
perfected
unspoiled
pure

unaware of human frailities

a love of or from the soul
beyond this illusion

that keeps us wanting

Moves the Soul

Doubt is a great reliever
Of joy
Leave this old friend
At the door

We have come to dance
There are places for those unpleasantries
Elsewhere
But not in this place

Here we rejoice
For our wanting
Has become

The sweet sound that

MOVES THE SOUL

Soul love

So Many

So many have come down this road
few have found their way

we walk in circles
as though we are lost
when what we really want
is in the center
of our being
just beyond our reach

Dive Into These Depths

Dive into these depths

The walls of an open heart

DISSOLVE

within the gentle touch
of love

BE FREE

in this moment

where all that you are

connects to

all that IS

Love belongs
To the strange and many
The familiar and few
To me and you

Love brings plenty
Love brings a breath
That only lovers know
Softly seducing the burning flame
A touch that ignites a spark
Of recognition

Love belongs
To the strange and many
The familiar and few
To me and you

Love is gentleness
An open heart melting
A newborn baby
In a mother's arms
Softly cooing
The beauty of such innocence
A reminder of our own
Tiny hands embrace ours

Love belongs
To the strange and many
The familiar and few
To me and you

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
