New Year Haiku

New year beginning
Refreshing new growth sprouting
Old habits die hard

Frozen Haiku

Bitter cold morning
Trapped inside of a feeling
Of frozen stillness

Snow Haiku

Snow drifts find a home
Snuggled safely deep within
Wrapped up in blanket

Stardancing

I dance beneath the stars which hang so free
The world rotates in joy beneath my feet
I spin and turn until I cannot see
With happy heart I cling to every beat

An experiment with iambic pentameter for a Poets of G+ workshop

The Fire Within

Spark
It starts
The Flame
Ignites

Flicker
Fade
No breath
In sight

Whoosh
It Bursts
The Flame
Burns bright

Sacred Fire
Keep
Emitting
Your light

Heart and Soul

My heart spills over

onto every page

Even if I tried

I could not contain it

My soul pours forth

into every stroke

Even if I tried

I could not shake it

My words are tied

to these instruments

which none can ever 

take from me

More dear to me

than pen and paper

these two can never

be silenced

My New Year's Wish

I Wish for All

A Year of Faith
in every dream
through every struggle
along your way

A Year of Hope
in every moment
amazingly rekindled
from all that were dashed

A Year of Love
filling every heart
healing all the pieces
that have ever been broken

A Year of Peace
deep in every soul
spoken in every language
heard far and wide

A Year of Joy
in every step
springing swiftly up
even when you should fall

A Year of Light
sparkling in every eye
so that kindred spirits
recognize their glow

A Year of Wishes
that are all fulfilled
when wished upon a star
or quietly in your heart

A Year of Blessings
each and every day
sprinkling softly through the air
landing safely in your hands

The Comfort of Candles

Candles bring a warmth,
A glow
To soothe my spirit
When I'm all alone

Their flickering flames
Speak in whispers
Of days long past
When times were simpler

I wrap myself
In their fragrant charm
A comforting blanket
Cheerfully worn

They bring so much more
Than enchanting light
They touch my soul
As they brighten my night
