Cautious the winds
She wisps in and out
Weaving through realms
Of courageous war
Her spirit roams
Visiting familiar yet
Surveying regions
Careful not to embrace
To embrace would mean
She’d come home to stay
leaving behind earths magic
Restraints of gravity
Silent tearing catching destiny
Thus quick gasp of breath
Embrace now deliberate
Steady exhale of eternity

Morning songs on the wings of tomorrow
Evening walks in the shade of yesterdays
Where memories become springs of living water
Onward I go my work nearly done
Lay me to rest in the fields of sweet clover
Where the dew kisses the dawn
Footprints of angels mark the path to my homeland
Oh lay me to rest in the arms of back home
How I long for peace of wind in the poplars
fragrance of birch in the cool autumn nights
strength of the jack pine holds me fast to my journey
The sun now sets on the lake of the woods
My eyes close in death as I bid my farewell
To the place my heart has called home
I cross over Jordan with no backward glance
The sunsets behind me I reach that fare shore

The young sapling
quivers under the weight
of the young robins song
luring me to the backyard
of my daily life
that has become routine
For smell of April’s moist
earth reaches my nostrils
and travels welcomely
to my tired lungs
filling them with hope
thus promise of life
Renewed in faith
as my rubber boots
smile with each step
leaving behind embossed
footprints of assurance
for others to follow
Blue skies reflect
this path I’ve chosen
an exclamation mark
that claims its reward
confirmation of expectation
heavens embrace my prayers

Being an advocate for our seniors , always creating awareness for the importance of visiting the seniors, now that privilege has been removed…Amidst the world chaos struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic, the awareness is still a valid cause. This poem speaks of what it means to an elderly soul who spends day after day in a long term care home and then is blessed with a visitor. Now with strong measures in place with no visitors allowed to help fight against Covid-19 in the homes. Please say a prayer for these dear loved ones. I wonder if the saying applies, “you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone” 
Morning dew
cool tired feet
caressing each step
I feel relief,
drowsy daisies
start to stretch
welcoming warmth
from evenings slumber
Relief though faint
strength is gained
amidst the
dawning glory,
unfolding promise
clings with certain
embracing grace
with daylight hues
Meadows green
of afternoon
the comfort of
someones touch,
the lonely ends
as smiles begin
welcoming love
amid the words
Once again
the cool returns
yellowing rays
turn into gold,
I bid farewell
a day well spent
contentment folds in
peaceful rest

I want to add a very important note, a huge thank you and prayers to all our health care workers putting their lives on the line everyday to care for our dear seniors. God bless them and keep them safe ❤
Her sinuous neck silhouettes
against the evening sky
as she progresses with determination
towards the waters of self reflection
Her reflection silent and unmoving,
stares calmly back at her.
What does she see? – past conflicts and ruffled feathers
but bids a peaceful, and proud independence
She evaluates her state
with a contemplative mind
determines her self and spiritual worth
eliminating all distractions of earthly life
The great blue heron has flown into the sun
her choice of flight inscribed on her heart
she wings her way to her realm of election
and there finds peace within her love

Summer skies evolve
into Autumn greys
extending limits
of no return
Chilly winds dictate
a cloak of caution
in return giving security
against uncertainties
Comforting glances
just remnants of fabric
past garments of familiar
caresses and smiles
Melodies of heaven
beckon a weary soul
stanzas reach between realms
constricted in earthly struggle
love gathers on every side
farewells channelled through
hearts and tears that release
robins song GRACE she is home

Underneath the bowers and branches
I took a stroll one eve
Pondering the daily trends
A sudden urge to hug a tree
A thought that passed right through my mind
Straight to my heart it wend
A twinge of care an earth prayer
Twas for a dearest friend
I bowed my head in humble prayer
And asked the Lord above
Please send to her the brightest angel
To guide with light eternal love
For when her way grows thick with thorns
And clouds obscure her days
Please light the lantern filled with hope
Guidance her angel to lead the way
With Modest thanks I raised my head
Thus slight a turn I caught a glance
A flutter breath of angels wings
I knew this friendship was not by chance.
Dedicated to a dear soul who is now an angel my friend Connie

Everyones take on miracles is different. Someones miracle to others may seem like
just a stroke of luck, while to that person it could mean living another day.
Today I felt the wind on my face
frosty air for the birth of June
Over rocky cliffs I choose my steps
keeping the white capped blue within my view
Devotion of love for such a dear friend
Led me to the tip of Cape Spear
I felt your presence and your angels
your heart I held it warmed my hand
I released your heart into the ocean
closed my eyes and said a prayer
May waves free the power of life
giving way to calm and confidence
May her heart find peace a path of tranquility
an amen to freedom finding and loving herself
