I have lost count the times I blew out my own candle,
to hide in the dark, to keep myself unseen.
But I did not know there were such lovely souls,
the seekers,
who found people like me
And let us be without criticizing.
Kindly,
Lovingly,
Softly they lit the way out,
Not a light to blinding nor a noise to frightening,
Allowing us time and space to
Re-emerge at our own pace,
In our own time.
I am ever grateful.
I close my eyes and the light gets brighter. There I am centered and re-invite peace
Who then replies,
“Child I have never left, It is you who left.
What you choose you become.
Choose love.
Choose peace
Until there is no choice,
You simply are.”
Shadows on the walls
Sun up high,
But I cannot move.
God,
I know you have to go but I don’t want you too.
I feel I should have done more,
Said more.
There is never enough time when the end is coming.
Feeling selfish cause it is not all about me,
But
Yes it is because i love you so.
And you say the light is blinding
And you will always be here
But
I don’t care,
I just don’t care.
I want you here where I can see you.
I want you here where I can hold you.
I just want you here.
I know you are in pain
And i know you are strong.
As soon as we are born
We know we are going to move on
Doesn’t make it any easier.
I drove into the sunset tonight,
No looking back.
And the sun she did gladly bathe me in her setting beauty
And I did gladly drown in her offering.
Blinded and breathless.
Purified by a different light
But i am alive.
Yes
Most certainly alive.
And you move
So
Naturally
To the tempo of my heart,
When all this time
I believed it
Could not be heard.
You sway so easy.
You sense.
Into one another we see,
Falling so sweetly as we
Immerse ourselves in the rhythm
Of love.
Vibrantly unified,
A light so bright no one can see us.
The sun rose gently today,
I am thankful for that.
Giving my eyes time to adjust;
Delicate light
Touches stone
And cactus.
Life around me
Stretches and yawns at once.
The birds join in
As they announce the arrival of day once again,
Happily
In synch with the natural rhythms of life.
The sun has peaked the horizon
And now burns my eyes.
For this I am grateful as well,
To set myself free of yesterdays burdens
And confusion
With breath and light,
For this is the world
Right in front of me.
Defy your fears.
Take courage of heart
And
Rise.
Lift yourself up and out,
Into the sunlight.
Rest there as long as you need
Feeling heat upon skin;
Breathing air into the neglected depths
Of your lungs.
Here you will feel once more
The blood beating through your veins.
Remember yourself.
Listen. There is your heart song.
Allow yourself to weep,
Allow yourself to sing.
One, two , three inhale and roar.
One, two, three take a chance and soar.
The air is chilly now and I am wishing I had
Thrown on a sweatshirt.
I
Lay down in the ground on my belly
And prop my chin up on my hands.
The evening sun is getting lower and I love
To watch as light filters through all of the different petals and leaves.
If I squint my eyes it looks like millions of stars
Are resting amongst the flowers just like me.
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.
I am
Mesmerized
By this
Magnifying beauty
Of morning light piercing
Through singular beads of
Dew grouping;
Clinging to green grass and wildflowers
This side of the highway.
These
Simple refractions of
Light;
Such an uncomplicated masterpiece.
And I believe in magic.
Nature does not force
The outcome.
How blessed are we to witness a thing such as
This?
