For many years now, I have been writing poetry, Mostly I have kept it to myself.
My heart is now telling me to share and a poetry collection is in the "works".
My poetry is a way to experience life deeply.
I long more than anything for that, to live and love deeply.
Here I share one of my poems....
With love, rev. frankie



ALWAYS LOOKING


Always looking on beaches for the perfect shell, stone, driftwood or beach glass…

Always looking for that most magnificent, awesome music, that shall burst open my
heart….

Always looking for that wonder hair product that shall shape my silver curls in the way I
love it most…..

Always looking for that book, poem or piece of writing that just totally wakes up my
soul…..

Always looking for that magical taste or smell in food or fragrance – eating and sniffing
my way through quaint towns and special shops……

Always looking
Always looking
Always looking

Come to find
It ain’t out there
It cannot be found in a store, a story, a song or a hair gel……nor in a mouthful or a
whiff

It can only be found in my soul’s story
It can only be found within
In the silence and emptiness of the love in my heart
And THAT I have found

It’s right here, right now
In this quiet place of stillness
In my breathing
In the warm darkness behind my eyes
When I stop looking and just find

Just find it right where I am
In what I am and who I am
Touching my God Self
Hearing the sound of my heart beat
Smelling my own skin,
Listening to my own inner wisdom
Recognizing the beauty of my own authenticity
Which is complete.
Not looking, just finding. God.
