GIFT TO ALL

Arriving to end... at the beginning apart
circles of steps... surrounding your heart

around each bend... is the straight & narrow
around each corner... the point of the arrow


Head in one direction... then turn to face north
walk in behind yourself... then travel forth

never look down... don't delve into that path
for your light leads the way... shining deep in your heart


Ever seen the reflection... of dark glowing face
A landscape of change... a mountain to race

eternal, maternal... the weather of change
that leaves debris... hanging upon your frame


Head for the mountains... but always look back
to learn how to live... with the future intact

listen to the old... but live in the now
for the myths of the past... will show you how


Reach out your hands... into the water cold
follow with your body... let the present unfold

calm down the surface... to a glass sheen
smooth over the waters... to a solid machine


Tis Time to Lord... the passing hand
to tick off the clock... and make a stand

scaffolding in place...to catch the fall
to create your taonga... is a gift it to all

  1. Your daily poetry has really spoken to me as I've gone through a challenging time, encouraging my soul sometimes and leaving me in awe of your gifts. Appreciate your time in sharing...one day I'd love to purchase some poetry and art from you.
