Don’t Be Alarmed II

June 9, 2014 · Leave a Comment


A poem written at a time of strong feeling is a good thing…for me. It expresses itself so I can get on with the day. 

Gathering Light

In my mind I took a walk
To my heart


Then let go
And stayed there a while

I slipped gathering light
And fell in love

This to shall pass
Don’t be alarmed
All of it is fleeting.

To live passionately 
Is to die peacefully
