Jumping into the
River.
My heart is filled with excitement.
My stomach fluttering
As I fill my lungs;
I always scream with delight on the way down.
Cool water
And laughter as we relish
All these times together.
In this life;
The low times;
I Let the river wash
Them all away.
And I fly.
Crawl inside your own chest
And hold yourself
Love yourself wholly
Fated meetings
Cool grass
Mountain music echoing
In the air
Smiles and laughter abound
Hearts overflowing
Dancing with destiny
There are no strangers here
Under this sky
Falling apart only to come together
Evermore
Kissed by the stars and the sun
Years ago,
As I sat with friends
Along the banks of a magnificent river
In the untamed wilderness;
(All was silent except for the sound
Of the river)
My eyes grazed the
Opposite bank and
I was awestruck
To see a large black wolf
Come off a game trail.
He
Stepped out of the woods.
There stopping and locking
Inquisitive eyes
With us.
He was magnificent;
Splendid in his stance.
I could not move,
Could not breathe.
In that moment I felt something so primal
And beautiful inside;
As if connected beyond comprehension of the mind.
This has stayed with me always.
I know in nature
Honest
Unexpected
Answers come forward
When you are ready to listen.
If you you wake up in the night
Your heart beating in your ears.
Your fears tangled in the sheets;
Sweat bathing your limbs;
Slumber evades you.
remember
Morning loves you too.
When you turn your face to the sun
And welcome your doubts
Come with you;
When you keep breathing
And keep going
You are strong.
You have been all along.
When you think you are at peace
Sit longer.
Peace is inexhaustible.
Dive in.
Peace knows no
Measure,
No depth.
The sun has risen over the mountains
And beckons my sleepy eyes to open
Will i tend to my hope or despair before i begin this day?
(Sometimes i do not completely shake despair in my dreams)
My eyes see hope as the sun rises higher over the mountain peaks
And my heart is filled with beauty as the birds sing to me.
My mind still struggles thinking maybe i should
Stay in bed and relent to despair
But i know to climb the mountain
(She is always calling my name)
Is the only way to grow stronger
In truth of self
Another beautiful morning
Another miraculous
Sunrise
To wake breathing
To wake
To see the sky
Another chance
To take new steps
To know myself
That is what mountains do
With beauty and grace
Reality
They offer no mercy
Yet help you become
Mountains keep you humble
The higher the altitude
The more my lungs are forced to work
And i grow stronger for it
She said that she was hungry,
That she was craving more.
But all she did was remain
Still
In a room
On a chair.
She
Stares at the door.
Still
She remains
Hungry.
Her fear,
It runs deep
And there it does keep her
Still.
To look at the stars
And see them shine.
The Milky Way so glorious.
And I love them all,
Even the ghosts.
It is time to release the shame.
Something,
Someone planted the seeds and you unwittingly
Let them grow tenuous roots
Around your insides;
Behind your eyes.
Cut the source of the growth at the root
Feel it wither on its own.
Shame cannot flourish if you cease to nourish it.
It cannot grow without your attention.
Lift your eyes to your beauty.
You are living,
Breathing
Golden light.
