Flowers grow on an ocean isle, never touched, never seen
Martha cries in a moment of silence not quite sure what she feels
It’s only time fleeting,
It’s every heart beating
Gustav swore in a fit of passion that his son was dead to him
Lying now on a hospital mattress, he wonders if he has a grandchild or three
We fill in the gaps with meaning,
Tensions only sap our reason
How to stay calm, savor not waste
Feel to the core, yet move with grace
Listen for the call, give nature its space
Too young to love too old to hate,
Terri clings to her mother’s waist
Lifetimes pass in a blink of an eye,
Crawling steady with precious haste
I’m born again on a daily basis
What I’ve learned keeps me agile and open
I unwrap the gift in anticipation
Of burgeoning life not just empty hoping
Sometimes I’m selfish at others I’ll fight for no gain (to end others pain)
Time is the inventor of both happiness and shame
Events create options as they take others away
Look in the mirror, face what you fear, embrace life so dear,
Act in ways that bring deep satisfaction
Make the most of silence, let it steady your gaze
Give your best to others neither judge nor blame
Provide all with questions that guide them thru their maze
