farewell to Autumn
for Winter dawns in the morn
yet within the soul
Autumn’s warm hearth still remains
to carry us through cold days

A torrent came upon this soul
from whence I knew naught
it was not winsome nor was it cliche
this torrent tumbled me and dropped
me over the edge beyond depths
of waters I had seen before…
It was different, it was new
scary, yet exhilarating…testing my
trust to go beyond myself and
surrender to the Power that metamorphose
in unknown ways higher, greater than
what the human mind could ever conceive
a truly transformative gift of Love!

The Rocking Gift
The gift of a
rocking chair
how it beckons one
to come sit and
be still…breathe
and rock away
life’s tensions
reminding us
we are worth it!

Manumission
bridge over carefree waters
symbol of the soul’s strength
a gift bestowed by the
power of Grace
to rise above the difficulties
of the outer world’s distractions
imperishable Peace

“I am gift.” All that I am is something that’s given, and given freely. Being doesn’t cost anything. There’s no price tag, no strings attached.

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

Let Choice Be Your Voice
Written In Response To:
Word Of The Day Challenge – Popular
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #102 – PROMPT #102:
Public figures make us hate their enemies.
Let it not limit you to a specific realm, or the literal meaning of the words. Go with the flow that the words generate in you, and don’t stop. It can be a creative stream of thoughts, a reflection, a value judgement, essay, rant, biased/unbiased opinion or analysis. There are no bars.
Public figures cannot make us hate
unless we choose this to be our fate
They have no power to make us follow their way
unless we choose to buy into their gameplay
Although it is popular to follow the majority
we can choose to follow a Higher Authority
You see, to follow the majority is so easy to do
because it’s easier than having others think we’re a fool
Great strength and courage it takes to stand apart
and lead others to see it’s love that we must impart
Free will is a power, a gift that has been bestowed
to use so that unwise choices may be winnowed
For free will is a privilege, an honor to be revered
that by others we shall never be commandeered
So board the Freedom Train of free will choice
and allow Love’s righteous way be your voice!
