CLOSING SPACE
The closing space
of Day and Night
That separates
the East and West
The closing space
of Loving Ties
That unites
humans, best.

ELUSIVE PEACE
Finding peace is the elusive part
Just out of arm's reach for mind not heart
Where is one to begin or start?
Seems near yet far for mind not heart
Peace is found in the heart that's light
No fears can stay or make fuss or fright
Peace will shine out from within a source
Awakened Souls, just Be, of course.

THE SPIRIT(New)
The spirit is young and the body is old
But what the spirit wants is to be bold
To feed the spirit, too many times told
Is to be still and look into the soul.
Then even with a body that's old
A young spirit will finally remember, grow
Know it only has that simple goal.

KNOWING SILENCE(New)
And every Silence has a knowing
And every knowing has a Wisdom
And every Wisdom has a sorrow
And every sorrow has a kingdom
And every kingdom fear will follow
But if the fear one would swallow
Then their kingdom is not in sorrow
For their sorrow stops with Wisdom
knowing Silence is their freedom

Maple Tree
Come sit under this shade
of the Maple Tree
Look up in wonder
the spreading branches
surging peace asunder
bursting colors, vibrancy
Feel the spirit of the tree
engulfing you in soothing
flows of serenity
Feel your heart
slowly blooming
an open purity.

A Child's Expression
A look of awe
on a child's face,
Discover.
A look of surprise,
on a child's face
Delights her.
A look of fear,
on a child's face
Reassure her.
A look of pain
on a child's face
Soothe her.
A look of glee
on a child's face
Laugh with her.
Expressions of a child
Innocent and true,
Expressions of a child
Save the image in you.

Want or Need To Know?
What we want to know
may not be what we need to know
What we need to know
Gives us what we want to know.
What we need and want to know
Brings light to what we know.
GLIDE(New)
May you have all you could wish
Learn to seek the finest fish
Create this day in honest Truth
Shake the darkness and be soothe
May you feel the cleansing light
Come in now and through the night
Close your eyes and spread your wings
Ride the winds in gentle glide.

These poems are awsome!! You have very natural flow with words and writing. Why don't you try writing fictions? (novels) You will be a hit!
