Every day you infuse with life and love
Leaves a double footprint:
One on your soul,
And one on earth.
Your life makes a path like that:
One will lead others to greatness,
The other will lead you
Safely Home.

Wreath of Summers
I am like the sun
Looking at life through silvery cobwebs
Listening to oars pulling sea
Through rinds of mica,
Lifting days with alien hands
Into a sky
Borrowed by Eternity.
And life quiets down in sacred expectancy
As Earth tumbles down
An untied wreath of summers
The Testimonial of Love
Of all the gifts our humanity has granted,
Longing is the most important one,
For it is the silent testimonial
Of love.
Like a rejected lover
Sometimes, on clear beautiful days,
Heaven is met
With nothing but hoarfrost
Like a rejected lover.
And it has to wait for night
To flash its most gorgeous Northern light
To get Earth’s attention.
Without a light to reflect
It is on dark days Heaven is the closest,
Without a light to reflect,
It can only mirror you,
Expanding in its quiet embrace.
Days of our lives
As every leaf has its own particular hue,
So have days,
Golden or filled with sorrow, falling side by side
To earth.
But when a child plays in those leaves,
They all bring equal joy
To that child’s one day.
Our Armor of Softness
Let us lend our armor of softness
To Mother Nature,
Let us brush newborn leaves against
The human mind,
And conjure, with our creativity,
Dreams of forests growing safely
Under a clear and peaceful sky,
Minding nothing but their own
Strength.
Happy Earth Day 22nd April! 💖
