Courage

I set sail at sunrise

leaving the safe harbor for the open sea.

Face to the wind.

I look beyond fear to the horizon

where my dream dances in thin light

Hand to the helm, I trim the sails

and never look back.

- from Morning’s light: Poems from my Journal

Embraced

Love came silently, softly

like morning fog rolling in from the sea

And with the fullness of summer

lifted me, a fallen windflower, to the sun
