Therapist Eyes (New Poem)

Therapist Eyes (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

gentle words

spoken powerfully

in the therapist's eyes

no one is lost

forsaken not

surprised yes

the roads

of discovery

healing journeys

have a chance to begin

Now

look at the light

down the new roads

ends with smiles

in the faces

of hopeful change

and darknesses'

demise

Tree of Me (New Poem)

TREE OF ME (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

I am rooted

drawn deep into the soil

my limbs longing for light

until the gentle ocean speaks

and the winds scatter

my leaves throughout the wild

wooded Earth!

There is only my existence

screaming in the void

fighting to stand tall

as long as I can.

Life's Hug (New Poem)

Life's Hug

by Tim Kavi

you know there is a beauty

even in darkness

the power of your heart

beating

taking a breath

and knowing you are

you just are

is sometimes enough

and always rises

to greet the dawn

ready to return life's hug.
