Went on an adventure
to a place I’ve never been
spent a week
gone in a blink
made new friends~
LEARNED
There was a man
with quiet strength
a keen intellect
who spoke truth to power…
lived by a code of honor
he would not betray
spent his life in service
it was his way…
We don’t teach much
about this warrior
shame I say
for a man who
saved the world
in so many ways…
You had many names
but as a soldier
General George C. Marshall
I salute you…
Beauty surrounds
wherever found
In the simple
life abounds
touching the soul
sacred and profound
to live free
to just be~
The purple roses
of Clontarf
remain etched
in my minds eye~
the beauty
the magic
the fragrance
of a beloved
Isle~
Time and time
again
time eternal and
immortal~
Her name is a
whispered pray
on my heart,
always and forever
Ireland…
A gift given
a gift dreamed of
longed for
hoped for
A gift that changed
everything~
My greatest gift
and sweetest joy
A gift I was given
on this date~
My beautiful child…
today,
we celebrate the
gift of you…
I love you
always…
Mom

I am not holding
on to the dead
I am grasping hope
for the living
Tick Tock
watched clock
The moon dances
the soul chances
Dream the DREAM
Light the candles
as it seems
so it goes
find your joy
find your flow
Go…
I remember the ladies
the grandmothers, mothers
and daughters
By birth
By love
A thousand years
of memories
A journey to
each one
For the tears
For the strength
For the tenacity
Sacred flower
for a beloved
woman,
Grandmother
you will always
walk with me…
The what’s
could
would
should
The why’s
bother
try
not
The when’s
its time
its meant
its past
There where’s
there
beyond
behind
The how’s
who knows
who cares
been there
The who’s
me
you
us
In the
end,
best guess…
begin
again
end
again
repeat
again
and
again…
I really don’t know
what I know
what I don’t
things I’ve missed
things I’ve lost
imaginings
truths
victories
failures
stepped in
the shit
again…
Finding hope
within
‘without
no ending
no beginning
NOW
just
WON…
Letting go
of old ways
delays
decay
Sweeping out
the dust
the webs
the broken
Putting together
the pieces
a mosaic
of a lifetime
of living
the shards
the slivers
the splinters
Finding
a rainbow
a delightful
work of art…
