This was a project I did basically during the pandemic. I started writing a poem a day. Once ‘real life’ started again it got harder to write everyday, which is interesting.

a light

Is fear like an anchor, holding you down
Is it like a dark room, cold and lonely
Like a veil that surrounds you
A nightmare that lingers
Black shadows
Stickiness

Today
I wish for you
The warm sun of day
Streaming in, clearing your vision
You find a key, unlock bright possibilities
Move into the world clean and full of courage

to begin again
waking to discover
another day unfurling
to walk forward
greeting the future
with outstretched hand

An Easter Basket for You

Who is the Easter Bunny?
Why does he carry eggs?
This season filled with sugar
not with spices like nutmeg.

Easter is a time
signaling deep hope.
No matter your beliefs
this is not only a trope.

Especially this year —
life has changed so much.
I wish this special day
to bring at least a little touch

of hope and new direction
right into your heart.
You find renewed compassion,
a clear path or a fresh start.

Embrace the Easter Bunny
and the message that he brings.
Bless the whole wide world —
the bells of grace and goodness ring.
