As the shadows grew longer,
the wind released its grip
and the silence grew wider.
That evening the watery moonlight
danced enticingly upon the ocean,
carrying her to a new horizon.
After years of offering
everything she had,
she realized she was
much more than his echo.
Now, carrying the parts of herself
she knows will grow and flourish,
she sails in her imagination
to a new and brighter place
where her dreams
may begin to shine.

Clouds are clearing
as dusk darkens.
Stars, invisible in daylight,
renew their familiar geography.
Mystery is pulsing
through the universe.
The night wind whispers
through the trees.
Echoes from the past
embrace my heart and mind.
My soul is still listening
to the voice of God.
The Holy Spirit within
offers words of inspiration.
I've traveled many years to get here,
and still, I await the blessed hope.
