Immortality

 Immortality

ç Judith Froemming 2011

Two lips
ablaze;
the breath
amazed.
Immortal desire,

to start a fire!
(the gods 

are definitely 

behind this.)

The Release

The Release 

Ç Judith Froemming 2010

You review

the day from your bed,

and release

the things that have bled.

You preview

the morrow, less dread,

and release

expectations ahead.

You hug

your arms 'round your head,

and dream

the One Dream, instead.

Time to let go

and receive.

Lost and Found

Lost and Found
ç Judith Froemming 2011

When I found myself without money,
I learned to share myself.
When I lost my house,
I became a traveler.
When I lost my parents,
...Mother Earth and Father Sky gave me a Family.
When I found myself without a child,
I re-parented myself.
When I lost my job,
I created my calling.
When I found myself without beliefs,
I learned compassion.
When I lost my direction,
I found my Way.

The Retreat

The Retreat
ç 2011 Judith Froemming

Five days in the woods,
following tracks through the snow.
Five days by the lake,
...watching sun rise and sun go.
Five days in the silence,
a deep, grateful thrill.
Five days on the One seat,
the mind quiet and still.

Being

Being

ç 2011 Judith Froemming

When you are confused,

troubled,

lost at seeing,

breath into your sail...

return to

Being.

Generosity

Generosity
ç Judith Froemming 2011

There is such generosity

in letting go of

suffering;

belief,

resistance,

expectation,

disappointment,

achievement,

failure,

knowing,

not knowing,

living,

dying...

The wind sings

a welcome home song

as it dances,

The Dream

through winter trees.

There is such ease

in no leaves.

Every cycle has its

last dance,

final call,

door closing

invitation

to let go.

When I am

this generous,

I'm fully alive

in the open spaces

of stillness.
