Breaking the
Barrier
Between us.
Transcend.
Accepting
Us,
Water droplets merging
On a blade of grass
As the morning sun breaks
Through the horizon creating warmth and
Magnification.
Fractured light
We become.
Breaking the
Barrier
Between us.
Transcend.
Accepting
Us,
Water droplets merging
On a blade of grass
As the morning sun breaks
Through the horizon creating warmth and
Magnification.
Fractured light
We become.
You locked me in a room
Then turned off the circuit breakers leaving me
Alone in the dark.
You knew I was terrified of ghosts,
Turning up the music to drown out my cries.
Telling me the demons were waiting to
Devour me whole;
To take my soul.
You did not know that they would
Turn and take care of me.
You did not know my Warrior Ancestors were there and would teach me
That love is the spark within that never
Yields.
I was not alone.
I learned to dance with my Ancestors and our
Beauty created an indistinguishable fire
Within.
I learned a timeless courage
And smiled at the challenge you created.
Thank you.
For without you
I would have never experienced
All this firsthand.
People would have spoke of these things and I would
Have dismissed them as crazy.
Now I am one of them.
Forgotten windows and doors.
Rotten Wood
and
Rusty keyholes.
Spider webs and creepy crawlies underfoot.
Dare I peek behind the vined curtain?
Afraid to see who is watching me;
My legs shaking and betray my steady hand.
Hearing the echoes of heartbeats as I stand
Still and hold my breath.
Has time been forgotten
Here
Or is it merely waiting motionless
In the veil of between
Aching and remembering touch?
And there you are.
The star maps
I follow
Always lead me to your
Heart.
Walking the old river bed,
How often has the course changed?
How often the boulders
Worn to rocks
Worn to pebbles
Worn to dust?
The river carries them on,
Shape shifting.
How often the roots of mighty trees exposed,
How often
They held on until
Nothing left for them to grasp,
They succumb to the way
And float on?
How often no man stands to witness the
Sound
Of the fall?
All
Become one
With the river
Eventually
Returning
To the sea.
Old riverbeds remain and regrow from tiny
Seed to become mighty trees
They return
In time forgetting the river.

She knelt in the snow and clasped her hands to her
Heart.
Her fragile voice began to talk to anyone
Who might be listening;
Gods
Angels
Ancestors
Eagles
Snowflakes.
“Why am i so slow,
So aware?
Why does my heart overflow with love,
Yet my body shy from all?”
In the the peace in the air between her breathes
She felt their reply.
“You suffered great trauma child.
You denied yourself validation of pain.
You rejected love of others
And refused to honor yourself.
Fear became imbedded in your cells.
They are rebuilding themselves
And are reemerging as light.
Holy light of love.
Be patient.
Accept the light. Accept the love.
Lift your gaze to meet yourself in
All your grace.
You can deny yourself being no more.”
And light became her as she opened her
Arms,
Her heart boundaries dissipated as
One became one.

I have been on a journey
To get a light infusion.
You see all this
Is just an illusion;
The body,
The words
Merely confusing the mind.
Leaving us
Believing the clock
Harnesses time,
That it is all on
One line.
Mixed up emotions.
Thinking we are strange.
Making man made concoctions
Keeping us sleepy and disturbed.
The
Dull ache;
Chasing loneliness.
Feigning sanity, insanity and all
That is in between.
It is all relative but some refuse to see beyond.
Walking on a tightrope listening
To the echoes of the tick and the tock.
Frozen in fear. Frozen in shock.
Forgetting all the life they have got.
Gratitude gifts latitude.
Awareness creates limitless possibilities.
I sense your vibration
Before our eyes meet.
I have felt your approach
Countless lifetimes
Prior
And will countless more.
And we cry with joy each reuniting,
A soul reconnecting.
Live fully in the in between,
In what feels like the endless
Waiting.
Patience, as love endures;
We endure.
The sun is silver,
The moon turned golden.
We all thought we were
In control.
We laugh as it crashes all around us
And dance our way through
The wreckage.
Shattering and scattering ourselves
Throughout
The unknown cosmos.
Near and far we create new stars and light
Up
Fiercely formed worlds with love.
Screaming and singing; sink and dissolve once again.
To root, bloom, reseed and
Create is all we know.
The rest is up to the others.
The truck engine rumbles
And the vibration makes me sleepy.
It is so hot already and it is not even
June.
Summer heat might kill me this year.
I like the cold better.
It makes me feel alive.
This humid heat makes me feel dreary and heavy;
Like I might take a nap and never wake up.
It makes the pavement too hot to go barefoot and I do not like shoes.
Even though I breathe through my mouth I feel as if I might suffocate when I have to wear shoes.
