There’s magic that we will not see
That monkeys with us all the while.
We think we’ve got it figured out.
Who knows what it is all about?
Fortunately, we still smile.

Forgiveness is the food of love
That patience hopes to bring.
We eat while daily dreaming of
How peace would let us sing.

My intuition —
Got it wrong — but then,
“…I’m sorry…”.
I trust it once again.

How will the people in your life be happy if you aren’t?

Silence doesn’t make us lonely.
Accusations do.
May the times of silence only
Help those broken to renew.

The puzzle I am working on
Likely won’t get done.
Too many pieces might be lost–
I find another one!
My puzzles rest when I’m asleep.
The day has lost its light.
Like a child may angels keep
Me safe through day or night.

Angelic voices I would hear.
It’d comfort me to know they’re near,
But what I see are birds and trees.
The longed for songs are sung through these.

Golden stones don’t bother me.
I want true light not flashiness.
When light comes forward like a kiss
And greets me with the shock of this
May golden steps rise gracefully.

In the end when truth must be told only the love stories matter.

Connected by a daisy chain
Fragile bonds release the pain
That separates us. Now we know
With innocence fresh love may grow.
Forgiveness brightened up the dark
And drove the shadows from the park
Where daisies dance, wind blown, and we
Are bonded, blessed with empathy.
