Is there anything more reassuring
Than the love shared and amplified
By a gathering of family and friends

Quarantine ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #227
Self-Isolation
Week Two; Day One; Six Days Left
I could use a hug
Week Two; Day One; Six Days Left
I could use a hug
Compass Rose
Through chink in once unbroken gloom
Evanescent hopeful gleam
Turn of night
Will soon enough extinguish
Evanescent hopeful gleam
Turn of night
Will soon enough extinguish
Glow yet held clear and bright
Deep within a tempered heart
A compass knows the way to north
Light, the steel by which love reckons
Ever should the dark engulf
I shall find my way
Illumined by the rose within
No shadow may diminish
Night gives way to morning
Clouds soon enough are lifted
To the souls of seeking hearts
Horizon always beckons
Vows
I stand with you
Side by side
Facing possible storms
Here on the thin edge
Of what was
And what will be
Side by side
Facing possible storms
Here on the thin edge
Of what was
And what will be
In this now
A future undeniable
A faith unassailable
A love unequivocal
I stand with you
Will you stand with me?
Mass ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #221
Heavier even than Earth
Yet I soar
A majestic dirigible
Yet I soar
A majestic dirigible
Laden with history
And regrets
Lofted by hope
And purpose
Levied by love
And compassion
Most days I carry the weight
Lightly, aloft
Some days I cannot leave the berth
Tethered, grounded
So I touch the Earth
Am grateful for its stability
That I always have a place to land
Rest, and free myself of burdens
Then breathe deeply
Filled and empty
I take to the skies again

Expanse ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #212
In the high desert
Where the land is wide
And the sky wider
I cross the expanse
On a knife’s edge of asphalt
Buffeted by furious headwinds
Where the land is wide
And the sky wider
I cross the expanse
On a knife’s edge of asphalt
Buffeted by furious headwinds
Inside my little cockpit of calm and warmth
I sing “Wassiye! Wassiye!”
With Habib Koite
A song of mirth and joy and love
Just as is the song within me
As I navigate existence
Across the expanse of being
And all its many storms
