#LyrePoem Triolet #3 Inner Space
When chaos spins around so fast,
It’s time to cleanse our inner space
In Light, the only thing that lasts,
When chaos spins around so fast.
With changes quick and options vast,
We still can choose a slower pace.
When chaos spins around so fast,
It’s time to cleanse our inner space.

#LyrePoem Rondelet #2 The Light Inside
The Light inside
All Nature is alive in you.
The Light inside
May seem to dim, but never dies.
You are the image and the proof
That All is One in Love and Truth—
The Light inside.
Morning has Broken

In the wind there is something afoot.
Could be omen, or maybe for good.
It can go either way
And reminds me each day
To treat others the way that I should!

#LyrePoem Nonet #2 Potatoes
Thank you, Idaho, for all you give:
Potatoes keeping tummies full.
So versatile and tasty,
And they last a long time.
Boiled, baked, fried or grilled…
Fruit of the Earth,
Potatoes,
I love
You!
