The Soul is its Own Healer
In the kindness of the world
in the timelessness of the moment
in the deep recesses of the night
through space,
The soul, like a cut
long ago dissolved back into skin,
heals and leaves no scars.
The soul heals
by living in the wonders of the world,
by seeing a grain of sand
for what it is.
The soul heals
unprodded, unanalyzed
asking for only trust and faith
to let it soften the edges of life
and deliver what you need.

Beauty
The world will be saved
by beauty.
Not by guns
or politicians
or warlords.
But by hummingbirds
and magnolias
and evening serenades.
The sweet succulent fruit
hanging from branches
That’s what will save us.
Morning walks in the fog
a baby's smile
the first petals of spring
jasmine.
A glorious sunset
bringing with it
the hope
of another day.
a baby's smile
the first petals of spring
jasmine.
A glorious sunset
bringing with it
the hope
of another day.
