This Passing Glance




Love knows the past
in memories clear
the greater the distance
the more love draws near

Through time with hope
a will to share
in the joy of its presence 
and the gifts it will bear

Peer into my soul
in this passing glance
here life will be music
and love be its dance

Rise Above




I am from the grace of love
the gift of life I hold
I bring the truth between the words
in each the stories told

I am light that carries hope
to shadow fear away
I glisten wonder from the stars
or sunshine on this day

I am bold and powerful
still fragile gifts I bear
with numbers yet to count the ways
our love was made to share

I am you and we are one
in each as born from love
these wings will hold the gift until
we're free to rise above

Spoken





And so this day has come at last
from those ahead and those since past
be in the light or shadows cast
today has come at last

If time is spent and never saved
its poverty we are enslaved
so deeply it becomes engraved
in time we never saved

So use this time you've found today
as there will be no other way
search the words you'd love to say
and hearts may speak today

The Beacon





Let us decide what's fit to print
and here now spills the ink
may we never disregard 
what's felt for what we think

For life is long and minds will change
not all things fossil stone
emotion shares its energy
while egos sit alone

And so the words we come to share
may travel through the heart
to beacon light of love across 
where fear drew us apart

In the Name of Love






An honor to give
these words to you
each from the heart
with hope they're blessed true

The language of souls
is spoken with care
for kindness is gifted
in each word we share

What brings us together
may lift us above
sharing these words
in the name of love

Simple Words





These but only words
in simple ink they spill
sent to reach the heart
with love it may instill 

Cast away the reasons
the mind will gather near
care is in the name of love
and hate is named in fear

Take from me this hope
and use it long to live
keep between the simple words 
the love your heart may give

The Beautiful Truth





From such subtle energy
in search of synchronicity 
What's held by calm simplicity
be gifted true with honesty

From either side of reality
the beautiful truth is plain to see
From chaos comes a harmony
an honest heart, a mind set free
