The Magnolia

I have  come to you again 

Oh good friend you have been gone too long 

Let me feel your tender breezes and breathe in the scents of your intoxicating magnolia 

Oh one sweet petal you are my springtime, 

you bring amazement, joy and peace in my satchel 

Oh holder of joy 

Today I unzip you and there is no longer winter's darkness but the soft rays of spring 

All is part of this flower and one petal is part of all

Now I am the magnolia 

I am the soft light 

I am peace 

I am love 

I am joy

When I walk away today let me share this beauty with all 

I do not wish to leave you behind anymore 

I wish to hold this budding flower in my heart, spirit, and soul 

and share this moment with all

Only One Moment

I must write even though I have only one minute

Oh glorious one up high I must go 

and leave you behind

Let my eyes open now

to the light of a brand new day 

for in this moment 

my heart has found 

its seat

As For Today

Oh the reflection of the barren trees and billowy white clouds 

upon my spring waters 

I have come to you today with peace in my heart 

But I have not forgotten troubled days of yore and know they will revisit me again

As for today 

I can feel your beauty and I am in awe 

Oh dancing feet and soaring gull 

may memories of this moment be forever 

yet all is transient 

but our unchanging love lingers an eternity

This Moment

I don’t wish to 

miss the beauty of 

this moment 

by thinking about 

tomorrow

Broken Wing

Love doesn’t stop at a broken wing 

it greater defines us

Let our nurturing and dedication soar
