And with a searing sigh, the world turns its back,
Declines the gesture, with tears
Not knowing what it rejects
Not seeing how it closes its eyes
To life

Life which is hurting
Life which is crying
Begging to be reborn

Yet, we are not defeated
We are renewed
Hands stronger in our giving
Hearts bolder in our loving

Heart to heart
Standing tall
Joining forces
Angel love abounds

Sacred
Our feet are sacred because they carry us around.
Our hands, because they allow us to touch others.
Our heads, because we can see, listen, think, pray, learn, and grow.
And our hearts, because they allow us to give and receive love.
All of us is sacred, like the light that shines within.

Everyday Miracles

Poetic Healing, Spirit Reveries

Your busy lives do not preclude
the love from above
and all around

you spend your time searching
for a sign, a vision, a voice
a white feather on the ground

while missing the true angelic display
in the hands and hearts around you,
always seeking something big and bigger

while the small miracles
make their way silently,
while the downtrodden wait
for their moment in the sun

the sun shines on us all
sometimes it takes creativity and faith
to allow the light to permeate
the lost and broken days

the signs you seek
may not always seem miraculous
but they are miracles nonetheless

Share, Make, Light

Poetic Healing, Spirit Reveries

With your hands, build the future
one tiny piece of wire or brick
or drop of paint at a time

With your heart, love the world well
each hug, each kind gesture,
each forgiveness
one step closer to redemption

With your spirit, become the essence
of the world you want to see,
embody the Creator
in your every thought,
in your soul’s flow,

so that Earth in its tragedy
may embody Heaven
on its hill of salvation
reachable, connecting,
a shining light of hope
