Each day I seek
to free my mind,
to know the how,
understand the why
of You,
as revealed by the
acts of Humankind.

Within the breeze
I feel your hand,
upon the seas
You make your stand
in mighty peaks
of roaring waves,
from early morning,
to the end of days.

And if it were not
for Nature’s caress,
I fear I’d give up
under Life’s duress.
So when the blue skies
do threaten to fall
I follow my heart,
and heed your call

the Being I hope
is greater than Man.

***


May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

...and they are tangible moments
this effort to achieve
that freeing of mind...

I know...because I've tried...
and I know you know...because I see
it here...

Ah Kacy...a good write!

Yes at times this "valley of tears" seems so hard to walk and we do not find answers to our sufferings and still .... you see His presence and hear His voice in the beauty and in the song of Nature.
Beautiful.
Love, Margherita

I love the perspective and theme you wrote this with...
seek on Kacy-girl it makes for mighty fine poetry

the Being I hope
is greater than Man.  (hope so!!!)

Your style is so distinct,
You stand apart, I think.
Without your face at hand
We'd still know where you stand.

Love to read you.  Ken

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

(big hugggsssssss) I don't know if we will ever know, but I pray an answer or resolution can be found and all can amend and hone! (sigh) This is a very introspective write, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Kacy,
I'll always love your perspective...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
