Put your skates on

Under life’s current reflection
There is a light
You can only reach
If you put your skates on
And move in the right direction.

Footprints in new snow

Footprints in new snow
Are like dreams
Leading you back
To your childhood home.

Winter thoughts

My winter thoughts are like the tundra:
Vast and reaching,
But covered in bird tracks
And traces of wings
Being swept against the new snow.

Let your words Light

Let your words be Light,
Reaching, even on cold days,
Into Life’s Snowbound heart.

Days full of Eternity

There are days, cold and clear,
So full of eternity,
You can draw constellations
In the snow
And watch them melt
Into an horizon of blue light.

Are you grateful ?

Do you feel gratitude towards the light?
Towards the air you breathe?
Are you grateful for summer breezes,
Wildflower hills and little islands dotted
With nesting seagulls?
Are you appreciating every sunrise
And every starlit night?
Thanking the earth every day
For giving you life?

Walking down a country road

Sometimes, happiness is walking down
A country road you have walked
A million times before,
Meeting yourself halfway home,
But finding yourself changed,
Not due to the ravishing of time,
But because of an altered heart
A’light with a life well worn.
