Death is
just as real,
just as final,
whether the result
of terrorism,
greed, or neglect.© 2017 Dennis Ference

In the Moment
How can I be
in the moment
if I come to it with
a slavishly scripted
version of it,
produced
and rehearsed
over and over
in my mind?© 2016 Dennis Ference
Chaos
The Spirit hovers
over the waters of chaos
with wings of kindness and love,
not judgement and blame.© 2017 Dennis Ference
Forgiveness Serves Life
Forgiveness, rising up
from the depths
of the heart,
is as necessary
for cleansing the air
we all breathe
as the spring rains
that nurture and
serve Life.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Darkness and Light
In that place
where darkness
and light
feather gently
into one another,
the universe offers
its children
a lesson
of peace.© 2016 Dennis Ference
On the road…
On the road
to self-discovery,
you will come upon
a place and time for forgiveness,
the giving and receiving of it,
unless you have made that turn
leading to a dead end.© 2017 Dennis Ference
Serenity
Stillness and silence
make room for

Wherever you stand…
Wherever you stand
be the soul
of that place~ Rumi
If you dare…
If you dare to undertake
the journey of self-discovery
without honesty, kindness,
and a sense of humor,
you are bound to trip
all over yourself.© 2017 Dennis Ference
Longing
I long to see
what I cannot see;
I long to hear
what I cannot hear.
And yet I wait
in patience and peace
because I have learned
to trust in the longing.© 2016 Dennis Ference
