~life whispers~

the whisperings I’m hearing of then and now,
tell me the presence of my being is never far
from where I’ve been and will always be near to
where I will be

in those visions mine eyes have captured, what
my fingertips have touched, and of days and nights
where my breaths have breathed and have shared
my heartbeats with those of whom I cared

here now in the quiet of my solitude, as I ponder,
cogitate and reminisce, celebrate this day, being
more fortunate than many, to have entered onto
a life long-lived, of three quarters of a century

hence I listen to the whispers in the wind, to the
voices and the lives of those whom and that which
came before me, as they speak the wisdom of the
Universe(s)…’all shall be well, for all will be what is
to be’  

~my legacy~

 Soon I will depart from your presence, the existence of my being
with the breath in me still left, I will walk barefoot, clear in mind
and a spirit dancing, awaiting to traverse onto the next journey
that shall follow the way and path of the universe(s)

the errors of my ways were and are; in the expectations of people  
whose eyes judge me adversely as to who I am, loving me for my
hearts true intention, so too, when the tears would flow, thinking 
theirs would mirror mine in empathy for all living beings

Becoming Natures' Breath

~let it come if it must, and it shall, as these
moments shall pass, for it is change that is the
only constant of the Universe(s), the only
permanence and then comes ‘new’

walk gently and slowly with eyes wide open,
breathe in the waft of the day and night, the
Springs’ petrichor, the nights’ lunar smile, then
again the mornings’ delight from the touch of
the Suns’ fingertips

for even when the heart stops and your breath
becomes Natures’ endless  breeze, the memories
of this, your sojourn, shall be remembered by the
footsteps of your visit, and your breaths shall 
vibrate through songs of the wind~
