"Mustard Seeds and Lilies"

Take me anywhere…
where-ever you are…
Roots…Rocks…Woods…Sky…
I shall fly…unto I touch…absorb…&…merge to be one…

the tiny shells
and legs like minute strands of bone
in my hand
they look like nothing
feel all tickly fine

towards life
is a knowing in our spirit
telling us
that all is not right…?

when the heavens broke

when all distracting clouds

perfection sits on a pretty shelf
embossed with beads of gold
a sad and lonely place
creaking softly into the night….

shivering from Autumn’s twilight
made cool from the breeze
whirling in a …

the music is natural
written in the mind
the heart
do you remember
forgive and come alive
