A Volunteer Awakened

The wind whispers silently, no rustling of leaves,
All branches bare, winding ever skyward -
I hear the silence of the breeze, it beckons,
A wave of energy guiding my pulse,
Each step forward blind but certain,
Each star a guidepost glowing gently galaxies away .
 

I am anchored here, a torch in the darkness,
Drawing down the brilliance of the Heavens -
A volunteer awakened, I embrace my oneness with
The green of the grass, the rush of the waves to shore,
The delicate whispers of the wind, the vibration of the crystals,
I am awake, alive, aligned,
 
At peace in my new ancient home.

I Let Go, Wings Still

You move through me, a pulse,
Flickering flame, ethereal yet firm -

Transmutation,

And I’m flying, wings of fire spread

Across the Cosmos, growing larger as I glide,

Wind funneling through,

I can see forever, alternate dimensions,

Purple skies, turquoise rivers wind like snakes,

Galaxies glimmering just within reach,

I let go, wings still -

The fire dies and I hover, an eternity passes,

Heartbeat dancing ancient rhythms -

The breath of my breath,

In and out,

A wave, inhale, exhale,

Feet to Earth once again,

Arms stretched toward the Heavens,

Attuned to the Universe,

Vibrating,

You are the lightning strike,

Grounded.

A Dragonfly Floating

 I linger in the garden, fingers trailing trellis,
Bare feet dodging pebbles amidst swells of mud,
Drops stagnant yet glistening on languid leaves,
A dragonfly floating -
Iridescent glimmer, a reflection of my thoughts
Darting to and fro,
Landing only for a half second, off again
Circling memories, such fragrant flowers,
Once so alive, bursting with color,
Plumeria on the bush
Now plucked and strung,
A lei left too long, lying in the Sun.

The Sacred Flame

 I still feel your hands in my hair,
The whisper of my name on your lips,
Our energy melding, dancing,
A flame upon water, always burning…
 
This love is the sacred flame and I,
I tend it faithfully, a Vestal Virgin
Biding time in white cotton, locked into
The movements, the rhythm of living my occupation
 
But I’m wandering,
I’m wandering, my love,
I’m calling out, my hair unbound,
Billowing like a comet streaking across the heavens,
 
A comet only you can see,
Breathing fire through your heart,
My soul pressed into yours,
Our energy entwined…eternity.

Cosmic Breath of the Universe

 I feel you breathe,

Slowly in, slowly out

lingering caress against my skin -

We lie in the twilight,

bodies entwined close against the tracery, 

arched into one another so tightly even the shadows can’t separate us...

I align my breath to yours,

touching you with my heartbeat,

relaxed into your pulse -

we drift into our space,

A dark gentle place made sacred,

The cosmic breath of the Universe.

Dreams

 Now here I go again, I see, the crystal visions

I keep my visions to myself It's only me Who wants to wrap around your dreams and Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Dreams

Ahhh....dreams...they come, they go,

they overflow into the crystal visions so many long to know...

Are you still mine?

Time goes by so slowly

and time can do so much

Are you still mine?

I need your love

I...I...need your love

God-speed your love to me...

Unchained Melody

To Breathe in Deeply

 To Breathe in Deeply

There’s a space inside of me,
A wide open space, a meadow of calmness,
Mixed sweet field full of birdsong and laughter -
You are there beside me, the mystery of you,
This connection,
Flowing, gentle river a smile quenching my thirst,
Gliding over me - rays of sunlight against my skin.
 
I’ve known you before forever,
Not always seeing all there was to see, blind to this space,
Not ready for the joy of the field -
Guided to the stormy sea, rocked by waves, torrential rains,
Urged on, eager to test myself against the storm,
My heart beating for release,
Eyes closed tightly, turned inward.
 
But now, now I open my eyes,
I see…oh, how much there is to see, to feel,
To breathe in deeply -
Life.
I ascend to meet you in the meadow,
Sweet song a melody against our lips, shadows sway
As I lie against you, the river wrapping about us,
 
Your smile lighting our space from within.

 The Wall Broken
 
Abyss of uncertainty, the great black hole,
Jagged memories shifting, light-speed,
Unredeemable,
The sense of falling yet standing still,
This is my heart,
How it beats into the void of emotion,
Drowning in the currents, flowing ever faster,
No sense of bearing, or the ability to catch myself,
Lack of solidarity, no earth below,
No ocean, no trees, no black sand beaches,
Where I long to go,
No.
 
Lack of intention, a falsehood mentioned,
Yet I know the truth -
The reaper reaps, as fragments cascade upon one another,
Destroying the foundation, the wall broken, rocks tumbling
Dead weight into…a darkness so dark,
 Indescribable
Black shroud pulled back, tied in place, the fierce beating -
Death approaching.
Disembodied thoughts fight for dominance,
Scattered into space…uncontainable, destructive,
And I fall swiftly back into that place,
Where only I can go.
No…
