Cobalt blue

Loving him was like driving in circles

Wind blowing in my hair, going nowhere

Loving him was like trying to decide

What to do while doing it

Foam on the sea, dissolving

Losing him was green, though I didn’t know it yet

Missing him was blue

Leaving him was like understanding

That way leads on to way

Loving him was blue

Touching him was like tracing paths

That had been travelled before

Memorizing him was like naming  

What wasn’t yours to say

Fighting with him was like chasing shadows

It came to naught

Regretting him was like wishing you didn’t know

I told you so

Losing him was green, though I didn’t know it yet

Missing him was blue

Leaving him was like understanding

That way leads on to way 

Because loving him was blue

Remembering him when certain songs play

On the radio

Moving on was possible

A long time ago

Swimming

There were clues 

Losing him was green, though I didn’t know it yet

Missing him was blue

Leaving him was like understanding

That way leads on to way

Because loving him was blue

Cobalt blue

And that’s why he was on my mind

Not my best find

His love was like driving around in circles

Going nowhere

But it made all the difference

Paradise on Earth

Wandering on widening paths

The salmon can hear the river

Things come together; the centre can hold;

Trust is present in the world

Confluence exists

The best lead, while the worst

Are held accountable

Revelation is everywhere;

Paradise on Earth is here and now

Paradise on Earth! It conjures

An image 

Recognized; somewhere in the woodlands

A shape of a man and a woman

A look of love 

Finding its way across

Rays of light piercing the trees

The sun rises, and I understand

That twenty-one centuries ago

An infant was sung to sleep by a manger

And the soft of heart remembers,

The star leading the way to Bethlehem.

Poem discussed with CoPilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

When You Are Young

When you are young and full of wonder

And gazing at the road ahead

Remember 

To seek yonder

Many will love your moments of grace

And love your beauty

But one

Will love the joy in your smiling face

And reaching for horizons true

Murmur a little prayer

Trust

That love will see you through

Double Helix

Walking along the river

Seeing my reflection

Stepping up, but

Descending

Walking across the bridge

Recognising the design

Stepping down, but

Ascending

I Carry You With Me

I carry you with me. 

I carry you in my heart. 

You are always present.

The Moon circles the Earth and the Earth circles the Sun.

Here is the secret everybody knows: 

I carry you with me. 

I carry you in my heart. 

You are loved beyond measure.

Release

Nature turns

Green, yellow, red and brown

A release

To mulch

The river meanders

Life rhymes

Pink, green, grey and white 

A release

To rest

The river meanders

Bless my heart

Bless my heart, God, for you

Shimmer

That I may see

Your love to make me new.

I wander 

Open to you

Reason, a compass in me

along with my faith, both true

I love you

I don’t have all the answers

Sometimes I falter

Forgive me

Keep me in Your grace

Amen

Purple Song

I am awake

I am awake to relations and action.

If you should meet me upon the 

street do ask me for

I can tell you my hopes 

for the journey I am on

and that is enough.

It matters whether tomorrow 

arrives. If there is 

only this day and after it is

night it will matter now.

I am awake. I am awake to relations

and action. In the heart of me

you will find it bursting with 

joy. Take it and spread it out

far. Let the wind have 

it and it will find its way home.

Something Good

In the midst of joy, I found I have smiles.

In the midst of laughter, I found myself bubbly.

In the midst of order, I found I have a plan.

I realized, through it all, that…

In the midst of summer, I found there was,

within me, an eternal spring.

And that makes me happy. For it says that 

when the world seems lovely to me,

within me there is something good, grace, 

wanting to pay it forward.
