Poetry of Raney Alexandre from collection titled,

"Sunshine, Wind & Weeds"
subtitled, "Conversations with Myself"

The following poem was written after "Sunshine, Wind & Weeds" was published.

 

Never Not

Never a face not beautiful
Never a being not God
Never a tree not reaching the sky
Giving the heavens a nod

Never a heart that does not respond
To a kind and compassionate deed.
Never a flower that didn’t begin
In the sacred soul of the seed

Never a time we are separate from Source
Or alone in the challenge of life
Never a night sky not overlaid
With a blanket of twinkling light

Never a child that does not rejoice
When a rainbow appears in the sky
Nor a mother bird not sing with joy
When her offspring first learn to fly

Never a morning not follow the night
Nor a river not reach the sea
Never a time we not find God within
When open our heart to see…

And…
          never a time we were not.
