THE TRAIL LIES AHEAD

The morning mist surrounds her
and vast open land awaits.
Nothing stands in her way ~ yet,
she hesitates,
waiting in silence.

Sensing her world will soon change,
she pauses to soak in this
place of peace.

Winning At Life

WINNING AT LIFE

Morning glory
leaves me feeling
hopeful; kneeling,
I ask for grace.

Full of love He
turns to my face…
here, in this place
you seek, I give

grace and mercy.
You’ve learned to live
My heart, your sieve–
and peace remains.

Peace found in a RYŪKA

.

long hours at desk, shoulders tensing
responsibilities weigh much
surrounded by favorite things
momentary reprieve

A Mother’s Good Night

A MOTHER’S GOOD NIGHT

A sliver
of silver moon shines
like keys of
happiness
on my child’s cradle. I walk
in stillness and hope.

the mist rising
from water’s surface muffles their
morning lift off
