An April Trilogy
In Remembrance of
Margaret Edith Devaney
Mother, Friend and Inspiration
The Fire Inside
There is in every one of us
The challenge to succeed
The wondrous opportunity
To find what we most need
It is that fire inwardly
Whose embers never fade
Those moments when we celebrate
As love does life pervade
It is an understanding too
Of whom we might become
The effort and the energy
Of which we are the sum
It is the courage to commit
To follow every dream
To take the time discovering
Each fiber and each seam
To focus all that fills our heart
On what we choose to be
And cut the bindings that ensnare
To set our passions free
Its then we will become ourselves
The object in our day
With happiness and confidence
Forever on display

The Journey to Love
I am finally beginning to understand
The reason and the purpose for the
Person that I am forevermore becoming
I see through the complexity of my own transformation
As I step softly, day by day, into my life,
My adventures, my development, my certainty,
My fulfillment and my denouement
I now understand that I am in the pursuit of love
Not merely for its infatuation and experience
But more so its creation, its participation
Its expression and its universal development
Bringing always its wonderment
To the eternity of my humanity
Love is not the precipice over which I might fall
Into the oblivion of my confused uncertainty
It is rather the horizon of my potential,
Beautiful, exciting,, energetic and arousing
It is that which stimulates my senses into becoming
The person I am intended to be
It is God through me caring for and sharing with
Those whom I choose to participate in my time
The reason and the purpose for my existence and my fulfillment
It is you and I and we and they and who we all are becoming
In this endless journey into the discovery of ourselves
Step by step traversing
The wondrous and joyful composite of a
Blended experience with true life
Pure strength, certain truth and endless love
So Mote It Be

The Love of God
The love of God that cares for us
Is not found in mankind
But rather in a universe
To which we oft are blind
It is the sun’s pure energy
That greets us with the dawn
The rain that nurtures every heart
Before the day is gone
It is the wind found whispering
Through mountain forests high
The rainbows that do new appear
Across a weathered sky
It is the petal of each bloom
That flowers fragrantly
The beauty that is everywhere
That we so rarely see
It is the perfect harmony
That comes to us with life
But never is it avarice
That brings great war and strife
So always and forevermore
Remember and recall
The love of God is given free
And has no cost at all
David
