~Solstice~

SOLSTICE

dawn creeps in
crystal clear
intrepid
yet
calm
endings
become
beginnings
savor this juncture
for the road ahead
is long
and arduous
but in this moment
all things
are possible

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead." ~ Louisa May Alcott

~Petals~

Petals

Life is a stream

On which we strew

Petal by petal

the flowers of our heart

The end lost in dreams

They float past our view

We only watch their glad early start

Freighted with hope

Crimsoned with joy

We scatter the leaves of our opening rose

Their widening scope

Their distant employ

We never shall know

And the stream as it flows

Sweeps them away

Each one is gone

Ever beyond into infinite ways

We alone stay

While years hurry on

The flower fared forth

though its fragrance still stays

~ Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair ~ Kahlil Gibran
