Eyes
so quiet
hold an ocean within
a steady gaze
speaks silent strength
eyes
so deep
to wade into
find or lose yourself
eyes
so wise
read you inside out
soaked in tears
dried in steel
smile that is just that – a smile
neither sorrow nor joy
tender hands
powerful soul
life’s journey
has not yet killed hope nor dreams
prayers for you
and much love
dear daughter, be thou happy
be thou mine!
In the most turbulent of times
when life threatens to tear at its seams
in the most confusing moments of life
when living is filled with rife
the pots and pans
entice, enamor, enrich
comfort, console and collaborate
make everything more meaningful
after much beating
there has to be a rising
then find some time to sit down
with a dear one nearby
for a sip of coffee
and a dip of a cookie
stare into the sunset
drink in the aroma of a well-cooked life
nod a little together
reach out for a book asunder
stroll by in the night
and as love walks by your side
just be, simply be.
