Meanderings of the Heart - These meanderings are poems that have emerged as I travel the many the twists and turns involved with the process of healing. I welcome the times when that inner voice of wisdom softly lets me know it is time once again to listen.
Dear Love
What a delight
to hold you close.
Just days old,
your gentle strength
sparkles clearly with love.
Your namesake,
my Nanny,
held me
with the same caring arms
and softness of heart
as I held your mama
and your uncle,
hold your brother,
and now you.
What continuity,
what dear love,
we all share.
Mabel Elska,
Dear Love.
Welcome.
Love, Oma

Forever Interwoven
I step out into the coming New Year
and look to the sky.
My eyes adjust,
Orion and the Big Dipper appear
in the vastness.
A shooting star streaks across the sky
and I smile,
perceive the energy of you -
subdued, soothing, celestial.
A soft, quiet sparkle of Love.
I acknowledge
the purity of my presence,
the brightness of my light,
the truth of me -
and us.
Here I am,
there you are.
Here you are,
there I am.
Forever interwoven,
the warmth and softness
of sharing life with you
remains with me,
comforts me,
gives me peace
as I release
and am released.
