Set your standards, set them high,
Grow some wings and learn to fly.
Challenge yourself to become the best,
Prepare oneself for the ultimate test.
Set yourself up and give it your all,
Don’t allow doubters to make you fall.
Make a difference and make yourself matter,
Ignore that…

Don't let your fears take control
Good things can happen
You just need to know
Remember, this is not
How things will always be
This feeling can't last
Only Love is real
Feel that love and…
Child of the World
you are sometimes hungry
sometimes rich
sometimes your life is beautiful
sometimes it’s a bitch
you are the self
in search of itself
you are the one who helps
and needs help
you are the way
growing inside of me everyday…

Your Own Story
These fleeting words will flower
Moss in her hair sea on her shoulder
Fragments of dream keep me well
Walking across great distances
Feet of restless drums
Necklaces clatter fingers scatter
Prayers to the edge of the…

Dream Running Heights
Let me speak plainly by the hearth
Unlocking the holy heart beats
Inside journey of life together
Leave if I’m not the fire you need

The Names We Call Home
I burned through the day
Knowing the night would devour me
I motioned the moon to come closer
Filled the drum with my mind
Nothing played but stillness
Clever and round
Waiting for me to pay
Beyond white sound

Inspiration Never Leaves Us Where It Finds Us
Tenderness and listening
are essential
for the creative act to occur.
This is what i believe-
Tortured souls
pass through our lives ;
and they can drag us down
if we are not aware
or alert.
We all get caught up in events

Long Drum of the Moon
Tassels from the long drum of the moon in windows of clay silence
I can make dreams feel themselves stay awake
Receive black stones to weigh me down into the past
Here now in this space between I polish them with buried tears…

even when it is a daunting task
that is the key.

Faith is the evidence of things hoped for
Grace can save you

with tiny fingers
nothing but kindness
lasts
the day is far spent
but it is not over
hope rearranges time
into the width of the now
The now opens wide…
The Perfect Friend ©
Today I found a friend
Who knew everything I felt
She knew my every weakness
And the problems I’ve been dealt
She understood my wonders
And listened to my dreams
She listened to how I felt about life and love
And knew…
The Pulse of a Poet
Inspiration is your practice
tenderness is your path
sorrow is your teacher
sweetness is your celebration
attention is your awareness
that everything is now
limitations fall like leaves from a tree
lifted by winds of change…
Touch of a Friend
An angel was sent down from heaven one day
to visit a child who had nothing to say.
This young boy was poor, great wealth he did lack,
but he has always been happy in spite of the fact.
Until one day it happened: his best friend…
