Focus on the Light
Walking towards the light
Golden rays on the river
Drawing me back home
Focus on the light
To illuminate your path
A guiding beacon
Walking fearlessly
Into the darkness of the night
A light follows me
As the moon rises
Follow the river upstream
Meet your creator
Finding Inner Balance Poems and Images

Spirit
Stalwart martial way
The path of the samurai
Skilled in cold and heat
Sturdy hands and feet to crush
A mountain, river, or sea
Earth
The rocky mountain
Rises up for the challenge
Take every step with
Caution as the treacherous
Pathways lead to faithfulness
Love
Spiraling vortex
Where another dimension
Exists free of strife
Only pure love exists there
Longing for eternal life
