The sound of the rain falling
Upon a roof made of tin
Awakens the sleeping spirit
Invites the wanderer within
To heed the gentle calling
Of Heaven’s cleansing tears
To wash away the grime of day
To seek, to find, so near
Tranquility surrounding
Peace and light abounding
To find your soul
And make you whole
The echoes of life resounding

Hidden deep, the mystery lies
Lost in the shadow of night
Beneath the wisp of branches
That sway in the full moon bright
A silent swoop of mighty wings
The raptor on a darkened chase
Sating an ever claiming hunger
He’s eclipsed by this woodland place
A flicker of flight against ebony sky
Undetected in the blackened night
The predator with his conquered stash
Disappears with the morning light

I’ve started so many poems
Some still lost inside my head
Of silver birds and broken hearts
And snoring in my bed
At times it’s hard to get the words
To come alive on paper
They disappear much too fast
It all becomes a vapor
So I go back and start again
And try with all my might
To make some sense
Of what it is
That I’m about to write

The journey of a soul
Is but a glint
Of bursting sunlight
Glimmering, through
An open window
Shrouded by
Darkness, dank and gloomy
Lurking in the shadows
Raising questions
Casting doubt
Second guessing
The flutter of the wind
Through the naked pane
Draws it back, wondering if
Perhaps a simple gust
Of a summers breeze
Will brush it all away
Allowing for the reflection
Of the innermost
Transcendent thoughts
A juncture in life
The now
and the destined…

And she sits quietly in the distance
As she paints the skies
A palette of reds and yellows
Against the blue ocean waters
Gently rippling below her
And she glows ever so brightly
Before tucking herself in
For the night
