Some of my favorite poems....

The Sound

A Sound in the darkness

That burrows through trees, and forests, and leaves, and fields

A Sound so different, yet so very familiar, that beckons my soul to feel

I listen a bit closer

My eardrums are probing as if to hear it all

On good days I am close, the source almost heard,

On bad days the Sound seems stalled

My eyes follow the Sound and soon after, my spirit

Drawn by the faintest note,

Not knowing my way, but assured of the call,

My worries ceased and stowed.

It makes me not flutter, nor stray, nor sputter

It only leads me along the way

And if I hear no Sound at all,

I know that marks my stay.......

If I Should Never Pass This Way Again

If I should never pass this way again,

Let me bask in the beauty of the moment.

Let me find joy in a glimmer of hope signaled by a flower in the rockies.

If I should never pass this way again,

Let me recognize the power of a single pebble and of the water flowing in a creek.

The Ocean Plays With Me

The ocean plays with me

Tickles my feet

Laughs and runs beside me

It laps up my toes

Sings me songs of peace

The ocean plays with me

Dances beneath the sun

Miles and miles of exuberance

Swaying to its own tune

The ocean plays with me

Reminds me that joy is just under my feet

Right where I stand
