Space

You are right to give yourself the gift of space,

To allow yourself to open up to the possibilities,

Present within the breeze that flows through you,

Allowing you to fulfill your destiny,

And filling your soul with joy.

"Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."

What Dreams are These?

Walking alone on the moors,

With the wind in a word of wonder.
Why?

What dreams are these that hang in the air like clouds?

Broken up by a few rays of sunlight,

Shining through rain drops,

Making a rainbow,

Gripping a hand, 

Pulling on fingers,

Dancing in palms,

Outstretched to the blooming sky,

Above the trees,

Through the air,

On rocks,

Hard,

As rain falling on spring flowers.

A damp day,

Inside a cave,

Looking out on heaven,

Below me. 



Written April 20, 1997
When visiting the Somerset levels -
A special place for me
Where I grew up.
