I am a daughter, mother, grandmother, seeker of Spiritual Peace and Soul Filled Freedom. I have been to graduate school and to seminary and have eclectic beliefs that encompass many faiths and believe Nature to be the basis of everything that is and that everything that is is also a part of Nature. Life is a continuing journey that is ever changing, every becoming and is gifted to me. My path will take me where it goes without ever reaching any true destination.

over the city waiting
as the winds pick up
for another storm soon
approaching even as
time remains frozen

Tendrils

ivy-trees

ivy winds ’round tree trunks
clinging to tree bark as
though hanging on for life
not even the strongest wind
can sever ties of tendrils

posting guard vigilant
waiting to hear the
sounds of the ocean
too distant to be heard

Aglow

dawn street lights

shimmering lights still aglow
from lamp posts and cars
in small hours of dawn not
yet extinguished just before
the coming of the rising sun
