The Way

ByRick Ellsmore

There is

A Way

One that offers

Joy, peace, and Love

It blows

In the growing 

Green Aspen leaves

Follows these same

Browning leaves

Floating through

The crisp air

As they

Miraculously feed

The ground below

This Way

Lightens the load

Allowing for

Fresh lungs

To expand

Taking in

Newness

Light-hearted laughter

Recognizing the opportunity

Found within pain

Ongoing struggle

This Way

Allowing space

For our

Infant souls

Born on a wheel

Rolling west

Towards the

Expanding skyline

Embracing the now

Knowing the Great Spirit

Offers the Way

Deliciously sucking

It fully in

    The Now Every step I’m here. I’m here now. I’m here again. I’m always here. We choose To be here Every moment Every step Because we’re here But if we’re looking In the mirror Focusing on the past We’re not here Just a tiny little piece Off us is present Looking ahead Focusing on the…

  • The Gambol

    ByRick Ellsmore

    The air thick as an Alaskan morning from the incoming sea fog. They wandered blindly through it without worry or concern. Their bodies floating in unison. Their minds tranquil and captured in the moment. Their hearts pulsating as the new blood of risk poured through their hungry veins. They were discovering the moment! Their meandering…
