New Day

I'm grateful for this unfettered road
where a new me can emerge,
to walk my path without constraint
and release my inner child

Sanctimoniously receiving light
from deep within my soul,
I awaken on a new shore of
cream colored sand where
the waves are washing away
the past and the breeze
is blowing in a better now

And thankful does not even
begin to describe the feelings
of wonder and awe as the
sun rises in the east...

Walking Away

Walking away
took a lifetime
of courage, but step
by step she made
her way toward
what she knew
was inner peace

Away from the
ties that had bound
her soul for so many
years

Black gloved hands
held like a lady,
suitcase following,
like so many memories
that she held inside...

The good memories
of what once was
traveling with her
and the ones too
hurtful to bear,
left at the door
as she walked away,
forevermore...

Black Waters Dancing

Makobe water,
fluid as silk,
sacred as the land

Calming waves of golden
hair, dancing for as long
as the river doeth flow

Clear as the heaven's rain,
pure as drops of angel tears

To know this land and
witness such dance would be
an honor as cherished as if
being wrapped in the arms
of the Grandmother

May time and seasons,
ones young and old,
respect and honor the
beauty that was and is
and may so it be for
all generations

Storm of the Heart

Storm of the Heart

Can I weather this storm
eternally wishing for your touch?
Your love true but not to form
missing you, ever so much

Will I lose all hope as the days go by
even though the love is strong?
My eyes the tears still cry,
come to me, where you belong

Come for a day, no matter the cost,
for a love like ours must not be lost!
Restore my faith in a soulmate’s kiss,
memories forever will keep me in bliss

Months drift by, then years go too
and I wonder every day,
whatever happened to you,
why did you never come my way?

Walk This Way

Walk This Way

Step lightly
tread softly
my heart is
a tender one

Kiss eagerly
hold tightly
never let me go

Love deeply
live freely
soar with me
to a new
horizon
where surely
we will be...
together
