Insurmountable 

I feel a prayer rise within me
for guidance and help as so much shatter,
As hills seem insurmountable , I need a hand.

I pray for a clear head but most
for a trusting and steady heart. 

Maybe I am asking too much when the world is burning
when so many suffer losses and pain, far above understanding.
I should say thanks instead, for every good that has come my way.

Do my  battles with steady mind
be grateful for the loving hearts that surround.
Remember that without love and care our souls don’t live.

I can here the songs from birds outside.

Oceans and Seas

Oceans and Seas

How you enchant me, bewitch;
With your song so powerful and true
at times whispering sweet
at times roaring with incredible might.

This day you decided to play
Orchestrate every pebble on a shingle beach,
As each wave rolled them towards the shore
then withdrew, returning again.

And again, and again,
hypnotizing and bewitching tunes.

Today you were playful, I was grateful
as this was my first trip out, in a year and a half;
The joy to meet again was beyond words.

With your friend, the wind, you can cause
Hurricanes, tsunamis but also gently roll,
Tickle my toes along the surf.

I love you ocean and sea, thanks for still being you,
Powerful, yet kind.
