soul – Picking Up Roots

Harmony

are you free,
what desires
chain you
to hollow tasks,
stealing your soul;

what is superfluous
in your life,
can you let it go,
is there a simpler existence
for you,
a place more in harmony
with your soul

A Hope

when my soul comes to rest
may it find its way here
where the sunsets
are a pink flame
upon the horizon
and the air is clear,
the winds calm

it was born in this place
of deep blue waters,
nurtured in this land
of piney evergreens

here let it rest
amid fond memories,
gazing with love
across the bay

Sewing

how do you strengthen
what is within -
the interwoven fabrics
that make us who we are -
what needle and thread
do you use
to strengthen your soul
