This is a healing piece I wrote in 2010. I hope this gentle melody brings you peace, comfort, and relaxation.

#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 Limerick #3 Afoot

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!
