Growth

Growth

we are never to old 

to grow

to learn something 

brand new

to cultivate an idea

or listen to an inner feeling

to grow in wisdom

knowledge and talents

growth is ever changing

no matter how old we become

never stop striving

to expand your horizons

spread your wings wide open

look to new experiences

you won't be disappointed

never stop learning to play

trust in the process

you will surely see

that growth is good for 

you and for me

try something you have

never tried before

grow and then grow 

a little bit more

step out of your comfort zone

look towards the sun

let your heart lead you

trust your intuition

grow by leaps and bounds

surely growth 

will come

just be open

 wait and see

Sacred Garden

Sacred Garden

As I come to weed my garden

this beautiful Saturday morn

I begin weeding away unwanted growth

I stop and pause at my

Lemon Balm bush,

a familiar friend to me,

coming for a visit

this same time every year.

The beautiful new leaves are popping through

the scent of lemon

all over my fingers,

pulling away the dead wood

from just last years harvest

weeding away all that is no longer needed,

allowing room for new growth,

 renewed freshness,

the gift of renewal and beauty.

I am reminded that my life is that way as well,

there will always be the need to 

be pruned away,

always growing and renewing

with each new season in my own life.

Letting go of unwanted waste

allowing myself and my heart to

 reach towards the sun,

letting go of what is holding me back,

growing into something

new 

and oh so beautiful!
