Daydreams

Lying on my back,
on a red and white checkered plaid,
looking up at the sky,
where bubbles in white and blue,
silently float by.
My mind is calming down.
I remember the times,
when life was faster and darker,
and I find intense joy,
in the slow pace of life,
where I am right now!
I have learned to embrace,
the here and now,
silently finding my way,
in what I already have,
forgetting all that I want,
and maybe even need.
In this quiet surrender,
I am finding peace,
and I will not forget to thank,
the One who gave me this!
You are teaching me to dance,
in a yellow summer dress,
and sing love songs,
on made up melodies.
In Your heart,
all the peace I could ever know,
was born,
and I am beyond grateful,
for Your willingness to teach me,
love me and adopt me,
and bring me Home,
into Your Father arms,
where peacefulness is the best gift,
I could have ever dreamed off!

Gentleness of Life

I feel the wind

gently brushing my hair,

and the sun on my skin,

warming my soul,

from the outside in.

I feel content,

sitting here,

by myself,

with the city sounds,

playing in the background.

I feel a love,

deep in my heart,

that deepens,

with each moment.

I feel connected,

more than ever before,

to God,

and to myself.

I want to be here,

in this place,

where I embrace,

the gentleness of life.

Then I realize,

for the first time,

this is what peace,

feels like!

Breathe!

Relax,
extend your lungs,
and breathe.
Remember,
today is where you are,
so, stop your thoughts,
from walking,
into previous years,
or worrying,
about what is ahead.
You live today,
breathe in this knowledge,
because this is where God is,
this is where He meets,
with everything you are.
This is where He embraces you,
where He guides,
and carries you.
Strength,
is what you get today.
Peace, is what finds you,
like a gift,
in the early morning.
You are loved,
covered by the cross,
and you will make it,
even in your pain,
and deep sorrow,
because I am here,
with you,
every single day,
in the present moment!
Breathe!

Let There Be Peace

Words escape me, 

in a world so dark –  

so filled with hate.  

 

Differences exist, 

and this small world, 

should be big enough, 

for all of it.  

 

Let all the differences exist, 

between you and me, 

and me and you.  

 

Let life breathe, 

a breath full of air, 

and allow the heart, 

to beat one full beat, 

every time.  

 

Unhappiness, 

lives in all of us, 

even in me.  

but only, 

in the acceptance, 

of each life, 

can we find, 

our peace.  

 

A peace, 

this world, 

so desperately, 

needs.  

 

Let there be peace!
