- Little Light
- ©February 9, 1995
Somewhere in the dark... |
there shines this little light, |
and I reached for it. |
When I grabbed hold |
this little light had form |
and I spoke to it. |
|
At first, though, I held.. |
I did not want to be bothered, |
I am on MY way!! |
|
As I ran from all of life's pains... |
no matter how hard I tried to throw it
away, |
It held on to me. |
This little light, |
this little soul, |
a guardian angel??? |
It would not go away. |
|
Lately it comes to the front.. |
and guides me just a bit, |
and I ask it where do I go??? |
It says, in a beautiful way, |
"Just keep going, you are on the
edge, |
you will finally find it;
contentment." |
|
This little piece of me, |
who watches me fall on my face, |
and reveals the days when I act with
grace. |
|
This little light.. |
who shines it's own light.. |
who has the power to make it all right.. |
|
Is truly the hardest lesson in life.. |
one to be relearned and relearned over... |
that when we can hold ourselves.. |
and not argue with those within, |
then it will lead us to good times.. |
and simple calm. |
|
A calm so quiet, |
so reassuring, |
that one wonders.. |
how did we ever loose sight |
of our little lights, |
that shines |
within. |

- The Expressions of a Flame
- ©November 6, 1995
The expressions of a flame |
as it dances to and fro. |
Sometimes it dances high, |
and sometimes it dances low. |
|
Reflections from the glitter, |
a million shining stars. |
Look inside the flame |
and discover who YOU are... |
|
Some flames high and mighty, |
too proud to even take a bow. |
Some flames seem to flicker |
here, there and now. |
|
Some flames very tiny, |
weak they seem to be, |
deprived of its sustenance. |
Oxygen, it can't breathe. |
But, when they shine their brightest |
of pure light and strength, |
Only, then we see their beauty,, |
The Golden dance of life. |
It's more than a fire, |
and more than a flame, |
it's a guide to human nature |
a lesson from a flame. |
