So often have I
come to life
through failure
and loss
that I have
come to wonder
if there is
any other way.© 2016 Dennis Ference

Simple Words
We strain
for top shelf,
fancy words
that will impress,
but often find
it’s the heartfelt,
simple words
that bless.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Search for Love
We begin our search
for love, riding
a wild and wily wind
of complexity,
but, in the end, arrive
at our destination
on a gentle breeze
of simplicity.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Longing
May your longing
for life in the Spirit
evolve into an abiding
trust in the Spirit’s
longing to guide you
to your heart’s
deepest desire.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Truth, Beauty, and Goodness
The gate of your heart
swings both ways,
allowing truth, beauty,
and goodness to flow
both in and out.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Waiting to Surprise
No matter what your age,
the Spirit lies in wait
to surprise you.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Intention
A conscious intention
provides an anchor
for a soul adrift.© 2016 Dennis Ference
The wise…
The wise do not lose themselves
in explanations of love,
but in love itself.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Kindness
Be fully present to another in the moment
and let the fragrance of kindness perfume the air.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Feet and Hands
When your faith
has found its way
into the muscles,
bones and blood
of your feet and hands
perhaps it is time
for the next step
of your journey.© 2016 Dennis Ference
