Embracing the Horizon

100_1620

Embracing the horizon as my spirit is lifted

up and over

the depths

of the ocean.

In the Waves

100_0890

The reason oceans release our spirits so easily, is that we can see ourselves

in the waves. So unlimited and yet contained within the boundaries

of our shorelines, our daily temples we live in, each day.

Wind Song

In the deepest parts of our forests, the wind song usually sings with a softer tone,

etched bark with outstretched arms, absorbing the prayers more fully,

a sanctuary of quiet, where poets are born again,

and filled with healing words

for our listening spirits.

Going Deeper

Going deeper will

take us, so beautifully

beyond -our wreckage.

The Pathway

20161105_125900

Words of poetry healing, yet knowing the darkness,

the resisting, being absorbed by our deepest parts

to show us the walk, the pathway

and that all of our words

are leading us,

on our own unique

journey.

It is there, just walk.

The Winter Sun

100_5602

The winter sun follows me now, as I make my way through the woods

waking up the bare limbs, moving slightly with the wind speaking,

whispering true, that shadows never bind us,

and that the cold air

is a strong arm – against the night.

Speak the Healing

100_1303

May our sages and poets speak, with a prophet’s calling

bringing forth the best from our souls, and may our eyes be filled

with the light that heals, even the most broken

of hearts. May we speak

the healing.

I Don’t Know What Happened

100_1190

I don’t know what happened. I was minding my own business, when suddenly

the poetry filled me, taking over my pen, rising into my eyes,

filling my heart with light, so now I can see clearly.

Was it faith? Was it overcoming depression?

I don’t know, but one thing I do know –

I will allow the poetry to live

in my pen, releasing

an ocean into

my soul.

The Light that Dwells Within

20161105_125833

Writing opens a window, so that we can see inside,

guiding, and leading us to discover

the light that dwells

within.

Heart Songs

100_5552

After the leaves have fallen our strength will remain, as our spirits are lifted

by the silent cry of our heart songs, taking us beyond

the wintry kingdom, we confirm there is victory

in each soul, there is always a spring.

A victory indeed.
