I Do

Standard

 

15 years old
Asleep on the wooden
Floor
In a sheep station in the
Outback.

Something.
Someone woke me.
All was still.
I could hear the heavy breathing of deep slumber from those around me.

And through the windows shone glorious
Like none my eyes had seen before,
Moonlight,
Lighting up the night
Like the sun.

Carefully i rose from my
Sleeping bag
So as not to disturb the others
And tiptoed to the door.

Such excitement filled my blood
As i stepped outside.
There
The moon
She showed herself
In such splendor,
Super moon
So big
On the horizon
She touched my soul.
My heart swelled to greet her
And my tears thanked her.

I believe I was cleansed that night
As the others dreamt,
I lived.

There i was
Standing in the red dirt
Glowing  beneath my feet.
Ancient voices
Whispering to my heart.
Ancient ghosts holding my hands
Showing me
Teaching me
Without words.

Holding  me in love.
Bathing me in holy light.
I do believe in magic.

Magic

Standard

She knows what it feels like to be invisible.

To be in a room with hundreds

Of people

And,

Like the air,

They breathe her in not realizing

She is there.

Her heartbeat the passion of the music.

The cellos

The violins,

And the dance.

Her presence creating a magical trance

And strangers smile as she drifts by,

Not knowing why.

There is delight in their hearts

At the gentle brush

Of her hand as she passes through,

A mere whisper of a breeze.

Her aura

At the tip of their memory.

Something they long for entirely

But cannot quite reach.

A haunting memory

Of a desire to hold onto

Yet

Out of their grasp,

She slips away.

And they,

The strangers

Are left asking

One another

If anyone else sensed the

Magic

They cannot describe.

If I Were Near

Standard

If I were near,

Would you lie under the stars with me

And greet them one by one?

Would you meet the moon’s gaze

With a smile

And welcome her to the night?

If I were near,

Would you dance lightly to our melody

And fall to the ground

Entwined in the magic

Of it all?

If I were near,

Would you gaze upon the spaces

Between the stars

And wonder?

Would you fly freely

And breathe deeply,

The light and love

Swirling in the cosmos

And dream of coming back

For more?
