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!

Mother Love

Wings spread,

open and wide,

wrap around me,

in an embrace.

Right there,

in your arms,

made of love,

pure and gentle,

safety finds me –

gives me a home.

Here I cry,

tears of joy,

of intens hope,

and undying grief.

A mother’s love,

difficult to catch,

in one simple phrase,

is only understood,

deep in the heart,

of all I can ever feel,

and every emotion,

I ever hope to touch,

in this lifetime!
