Talk With Your Soul


Talk with your soul in order to uplift the world
We can sing with the resonance of the wind
The ripples of a river find music in its flow
And the sun continues to gift us with its light
The world needs our love now more than ever
And our fellows need to put off their fear
Amazing sound and light will heal our hearts
If we will but take it in and let it out
It is in the passage of air and light
That we let go of the fear that touches us
All of humankind must gather in their wake
The grandeur, the pleasantry of nature
Of which we are a portion of the whole
As we allow the words of life to come
We must pass these things down to others
From our children, from our grandchildren
Let us share, let us talk with our soul


All Day


Dreams that emerge from the love in one’s heart
Carry us over the mountains and into the wood
A brandished flower wreath upon one’s head
Dancing around the bonfire and chanting aloud
The dreams that wonder seeks to find
Are little more than bathing in tropical waters
Leading to a treasure under the sea
Drifting over stone white sand and colorful corals
Can we dig up the treasure chest and open its gifts
The jewels that are stored in the subconscious
Swaying to the ebb and flow of the waves
As the fishes in bright costumes flutter by
The immediate wish is to remember these blessings
When wakefulness orders our day
To carry the images in our hip pocket
And see them, delightful, all day

This Time


We begin the search for answers
Where our questions become relevant
To the challenges that we face
Because our health is in jeopardy
So many ill, stressed, dying, 
And we must distance ourselves
From each other, from our loved ones
We must make the hard choices
To keep others safe, in our love
Because we cannot afford to lose
Our dear ones, our friends, our selves
In spite of the wish to comfort
Those who need love at this time
But we will get through this challenge
We will shoulder this burden
Like the people whose strength
Comes from the abdominal fortitude
Of a great people in this time
