If it weren’t for the beauty
that fear often inspires
We would think the time lost
That this emotion requires
But experiencing life so deeply
Makes it such a lovely maze
The pureness of emotion
Gives wonder to our days
So treat your thought with care
And it may change its hue
But know that casting it away
Is impossible to do
Accepting it for what it is
And letting it just be
Gives calm to all the chaos
And let’s our minds dance free
For worry does inspire
And fear can change our view
We’re all in this together
The world is here for you

I wish that life’s answers
Would fall to you like rain
And you could catch them in your hand
And never doubt again.
The Crane

Like a wind silently sweeping by
it travels often unseen, rushing past
normalcy, stirring the forest air beneath
its wings, a blur of cobalt, and then nothing
remains, but it is still very clear, an imprint
in my mind, and I often search the skies, hoping
its silvery crescent shape will glide over me
carrying serenity with it, I can remember the words
spoken the last day it was seen
when that majestic bird, looking out of place
where it perched, perfectly centered under an arch
of trees, but among conifers, plain and green,
it’s exotic beak just didn’t belong
we stared and warmed and felt it,
hope floating from a tree branch far above
the present calm settling on our shoulders
as it lifted a leg and turned its head, taking flight
“Cranes are good luck, you know.”
That was all we needed to hear.
