" By the Lake " by Susan Pearl

Moonbeams shining off of the water--
   such a sight on a beautiful night.

Followed by daybreak
   and then bright sunlight
   reflecting off of the water in a different way
   but still showing
   the beautiful night has led into a beautiful day.

" Release " by Susan Pearl

Being "caught" is a form of entrapment--

Release from "being caught" can be swift,
Like a complete disconnect from what is holding us.

OR:

Piece, by piece, by piece,
   will come release.
Step, by step, by step,
   promises are kept.

It takes time
   and it takes grace
   for the new perspectives
   of acceptance and forgiveness
   to come and be in place.

It is to our best interest to work towards such a release.
It is to our own best interest to be at peace.
