Melancholy
Heartaches of the soul
Missing what made you whole
Part of essence filling you
Absent you feel blue
Many never find or know
Treasured blessings of loving so
Once you taste a sacred kiss
All is scant to that bliss
Lonely ache creeps in
Reminds you left on a whim
Let go wisdom tempted fate
Rearranged a stable state
Lovely path you had set
Topsy-turvy in unrest
Something good pure at source
Turned asunder to divorce
Knowing what you know now
Foundation served you somehow
Reflecting a lifetime later
Might have been so much greater
Answers buried deep inside
Apology can’t erase ego’s pride
No choice so you let go
Now know the hurt you did sow
What part of past are you holding that it’s time to let go?
What purpose does it serve and what’s the payoff?

I have always been a seeker, always looking for the answers to what seekers ponder. I can remember Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psychocybernetics; Dr. Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person. Moving through my legal training and practicing law the focus was always about people and how to better their lives. All that searching, reading, studying and introspective work culminated in this collection of daily readings for seekers.
My work in the world has progressed from fighting legal cases to mediating divorces to helping people understand the essentials of relationship and collaborating to these poems. How can we collaborate effectively and work with each other in harmony to create the world we seek. How can we mindfully enable this world to become a place that works for all.
My prayer is that through introspection using these poems as a guide we can all grow together in making the world the Heaven on Earth we all aspire toward.
