Feel the shade
of red flush away
bitter scorn
blushed cheeks
the rose wine
on longing lips-
the tangle
of our limbs
intoxicating.

No Looking Back
 |
Jackson Pollock Ocean Greyness, 1953 Oil on canvas |
Unfolding, in front of her eyes
a web of deceit,
a maelstrom of lies.
Over and over, spun
without regret,
the harm undone.
Until the vortex ended-
storm over, damage done,
nothing left to spend.
Forgiveness grim,
she chose to move forward-
without him.

A Protest for the Season
It’s the twinkling stars lighting up the tree
leaving those immobile in close proximity
the silence and the glory cradled gently to our heart
warming each sensation, joining relatives apart
the wonder of the season and each joyous song
that hushes retribution, forgives every wrong.
Let’s all join together with peace and love on earth
so our only protestation is of Jesus and His birth.

Love to Forgive
"All that is necessary to make this world a better place to live is to love-to love as Christ loved, as Buddha loved." ~Isadora Duncan
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone tried to live by this principle? We would try to see how we could help each other instead of selfishly worrying about our own motives. Life would take on a new meaning as we focused on love for everyone, rather than competition or getting even. We wouldn't hold grudges over past mistakes, rather we would shower the person with unconditional love. Forgiveness would be our creed.
You might be asking yourself how to forgive and love someone who has done you harm. The answer is simple, and it really does work. Pray for that person daily for three to four weeks. Halfway through, your grudge will be gone. Try this yourself and let me know how you do. Remember to pray for that person to have peace, love and happiness, just as you would want for yourself. I'll be anxious to hear from you. I am praying for a certain person, too. Remember "All we need is love," (The Beatles).
