Sample poems:

Nature’s Song-Prayer



I rise in the darkness of early morn
to witness the awakening

The earth sighs and
slowly breathes in the light of dawn

The dance of a new day
begins softly as the flowers stir

And begin to open their petals
to gather sunbeams and dewdrops

Sustenance for their ethereal forms

Perfect gentle rhythms
of birdsongs and rustling leaves

Fill the air and adorn the silence

This is Nature’s song-prayer
Fragrant with peace

Alive with the silent joy
Of Creation unfolding

SkyLight In My Mind


Mid-night in my dreaming
I found a skyLight
in the ceiling of my mind

A portal through the roof
of my thoughts
into the silent meditation sky

An ecstatic moon shone above,
luminous in the radiance
of her reflected Truth-light

Let me be like the dream moon
quietly, blissfully, reflecting
the divine Source-light of being

The Mystical Dance

 

 

"The Mystical Dance"
Description

Many people have experiences in nature, or within themselves, which are often beyond what language seems adequate to express. Experiences of peace, reverence, awe, bliss, a sense of the presence of something larger than ourselves and all of humankind. 

It is these experiences, that we might say are of a mystical nature, that have found some expression in the word forms in this book. 

Although words can only point to or remind us of the fullness of these moments, hopefully there are some sign posts and reminders in the pages that follow.
