Let Peace Flow
When you see sorrow
of another
Let joy flow from
Your soul
To cover the dark in light
When you hear hatred
toward a neighbor
Let love flow from
Your heart
To cover the hard in softness
When you feel the anguish
of humanity
Let peace flow from
Your mind
To cover the shattered in healing

leaves on the ground
breeze passes by silently
bare branches sway
Things I Love
Things I Love
There is no logic to the things I love
The creamy froth on my chai latte
Morning dew on a spider’s web
The clean, calming scent of lavender
In my garden as I pass by
The giddy anticipation I feel when
Packing my suitcase for a trip
The glow of a promise made
When I look at the gold band on my finger

Paper Journal
Paper Journal
I love the feel of pen gliding
Across a sheet of paper
The magic of transforming
Blank pages into word art
I love the whiff of ink
That tickles my nose
As each page fans
the air in turn
I love looking backward
And moving forward
Within the creamy pages
Of straight lined paper
