Mother Earth

Standard

Mother Earth sings her song.

It is in the dirt,

The wind,

The water of the raging rivers

And the peaceful ponds.

The trees and the mountains.

The lion and the sparrow.

We think we do not know her song

But we too are her song.

We have only become distracted

For her music is in our very cells.

The blood of our ancestors.

Be still, your soul

And listen.

This song never pauses.

Sing with her once more.

Wildness

Standard

Do not fear your own wildness.
Set yourself free.
The part of you
That you put to sleep
When you were young
After being told
You were too much.
Always too much.
Too much beauty.
Too much
Laughter.
Too much loudness.
Too many questions.
Let your wild hair down.
Let your wild voice sing.
Let your wild feet dance.
Let your wild eyes see.
Let your wild arms embrace.
Let your wild out.
Set yourself free.

In between

Standard

He’s the in between.

Born on the cusp.

He is winter in spring.

A flower blooming in the frigid cold,

Not sure where to go…..

He shines a light all his own.

Smiles to share yet

He cries alone.

On gilded wings she’s watched

Him fly too close to the sun.

So here she waits

Ready to catch him,

Ready to hold him

When he falls.

Wings singed;

Heart-tired he falls heavy.

She sings softly now

Cradling him in the in between.

Sharing her breath until he can

Breathe on his own once again.

Melancholy

Standard

On this day I am feeling melancholy.

I cannot speak.

It is as if my hands are lead

And my feet do dread

Every step.

My eyes have forgotten how sweetly

They can see.

Even though the sun rises to

Caress my heart and remind me

I am alive.

My body screams

As it talks to itself

Misinterpreting every word.

My breath does not delight in the pleasure of

Breathing

This day.

Free

Standard

I hope wherever you are,

You are

Free

Now.

Free to be your beautiful self.

And when anyone tries to stifle you,

You don’t ever hold back.

I hope you see through them

And know now it’s not about you,

Their fear.

It never was.

You,

So beautiful.

Too free for some people to handle,

And too much  yourself

That it terrified them to see how much they

Themselves

Hold back.

How they keep themselves in chains.

I imagine you dancing and singing at the top of your lungs

While the leaves fall at your feet,

Some wild autumn wind playing in your hair.

And I know

You

Are

Free.

Reawakening

Standard

Reawakening

From a long,

Lightless slumber.

The Universe

Is

Kindling your soul.

Let your spirit rise

Again.

You were awake once.

The memory playing at the edge of your brain.

Once,

When you were a child.

The air of joy filling your lungs.

But,

Somewhere

You started living in the world of dreams

To escape

This reality.

Being tread upon,

You dreamt of flying.

Being bound by invisible chains,

You dreamt of freedom.

Being silenced by manipulative words,

You dreamt of singing.

Now realize you are

The

Dream

And

Reawaken.
