Hearts Calling

don’t let the pain,
of the past-
hold your soul hostage,
giving dark memories homage-
holding them,
to your deep-
you’re stuck in your repeat,
of sorrow,
oh let the grace of today,
brings releasing your way-
to drink from the cup of love,
flowing into your tomorrows.
why crave to hold on,
to that place-
where you do not belong,
trapped in time-
to a life that was,
your wounds cry-
to be healed,
I know the way-
you feel.
hanging on often,
feels like comfort-
but the ache brings,
a fog of darkness to your soul-
let the entanglement,
that holds you-
unravel,
let the past-
that has traveled,
to your mind-
what has caused,
your real life to pause-
what clings let it drop,
and fall away…
come let love,
walk you back to-
the healing space of you,
holding your soul to now-
living life,
in forgiving freedom,
don’t waste,
one more breath of life-
living as past’s victim.

Heart's Calling



The beautiful seeds of love and compassion are within all of us. When we awaken to the reality that love is the only path, the only way...then we will blossom and grow, opening our hearts and opening up to life in wonderful, new and meaningful ways.

Detachment means letting go
and non-attachment means simply letting be.

Once Again

what takes me away from life,
from living for the giving-
what presses so hard,
against my existence-
when I want to forge through,
to push back with exact measure-
and loving motivation.
what motivates me,
to bring in the mighty of me-
to come full charge against-
what holds me back,
and say “no more!”
to take the strength that resides,
in me-
let it build up inside,
of me-
living life as it should be,
with vision,
passion that fuels-
the flames of my fire,
reaching ever so higher-
past complacency-
that settles for empty.
fill the well of my soul,
water of life-
overflow,
onto me, onto you, onto the world.
one step,
here I come-
for life has just begun,
yes again-
as it ends,
it begins-
once again.

The day I understood everything, was the day I stopped trying to figure everything out. 
The day I knew peace was the day I let everything go.

I wish you enough



 'I wish you enough,'wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Good-bye.."

Happy New Year 2

​I call this Ukrainian New Year a tradition of celebrating using the Georgian calendar.
