Sadness
Longing empty hole in heart
Saps intensity robs my art
Realize something’s wrong
Flat-lined lost my song
Strange rhythm in my gait
Deliberate cadence embodies fate
Once joyous quiet sedate
Now missing a cherished mate
Footsteps hover near
Awaken knowing fear
Sadness kills rips apart
Tragedy of a broken heart
Stepping forward walk my path
Can’t hide empty or a crash
Next trajectory to start
Reclaiming my joyous heart
Moving forward mindful clear
Accept sadness get beyond fear
Step into dark of being
Let learning reveal a song to sing
Feel the residual of your heartbreak?
Do you allow yourself the pain of loss and take lessons that serve you?

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.
