Essence of Life

A faint whisper calls, not with words
but with an essence of energy
Something new is approaching
coming to encompass you
and your world, it is not fear you feel
It is a love more powerful
You embrace it, yet someone is holding you back
Do you let go of them or embrace it all
Both to be fulfilled by new essence
surrounding everything.

To Be Made Real By Love

Real is when love is shared
How we are show we care
And become aware
There are others out there
Whom we can share
In this world together
Somehow, everywhere
For kindness matters
Blessings and take care
-by Pauline Harris

Did you know? Love

I was talking with a friend

About how we were treated

When we were young

It turned out, we had

So many of the same

Stories to tell one another

Some of happy times

Many conflicting times

We grew up in such different times

And different places

With different faces

…And yet, our lives

Were impacted

By those who hated us

And by those who cared

We may have grown up

On different sides

When it came right down to it

We are all the same,

Well except those who

You know grow up to be bullies

We grew up to be caring

And want to share that love

For we know to win at life

If there is such a thing

We must first care to share

The love we found

And spread love everywhere

Growing Hope

Growing Hope
lines altered as
ripples begin to
express the light
That is found
Deep within
Walk again
In the compassion
We all know
Is the path to love

UnBeating Heart

Unbeating Heart
I waited too long
To know that closeness
I had so longed to feel
You would laugh
And cry just timely
I never understood
Until after we hugged
Our goodbyes
And no more tomorrows
For you and I together
Many moons have passed
I knew I loved you
Friends were what we…
…
I cried hard at the goodbyes
No comfort came from you
I knew you were better off
No more hurts nor pains
I had to forward and I did
But the feelings, the longings
Carry on…releasing you with wings
Fly away…fly off into space
Drop by a star or two
And share your amazing light
I still love you, my forever angel.

He Washed Me

We were sitting
Together he and I 
Just talking
About life and love
I asked him
Explain love to me
I had seen so much
Complexity
I wanted to know
More of love

He left for a moment
I felt all alone
A bit distressed
I longed for him
To return and he did
Carrying a bowl
Of water and a towel

I looked confused
But decided to see
What was to come next

He took my hand
Rubbing softly
Each muscle
Massaging me
My breathing
Slowing down
I am comforted

He takes a sprinkle
Of the water
Caressing my hand
Dabbing
With the towel
Letting
This loving care
To sink into
My very being
He said softly
This is love
Please go and spread
This love
Everywhere

Sharing a Secret

Inside of me
There is a secret
A secret wish
I sometimes share
With those who care
My secret wish is
Invisible to see
Those who seek
May not always find
Calming to touch
But only felt
With kind hearts
For love
Is found
Only with sharing
And grace will bow
Upon each who care
To believe love is real
By Pauline Harris
