Solace

When sadness splinters the house of joy
and the world weighs heavy on your heart
swim beyond the sticky prison of thought
discard threadbare views, dismiss old ideas
step out of the dusty ravine of your mind
and leap into the brimming bowl of Spring.
Fill your life with blossoming things
flowers seeking the sun
trees hugging the wind
birds courting the sky.
Earth’s embrace flares with grace
seeds of belonging coalesce
and the spirit dares to sing.

Listen

Listen within
it all goes
except the gift
you give
and the beauty
that flows.
