October

Standard

October sky.

i see the air as the breath

leaves my lips.

tree roots set themselves

deep and steady

ready for the chill to come.

branches reaching

to reassure one another.

inside lifeforce welcomes all stages of life,

happy to greet wind and rain

snowfall and sunlight.

living to live

and bring great joy

to earth and sky.

i touch the tree and know,

i

 know we are not so

different and i am thankful.

Always Held

Standard

I have been the waves that carried you home

When you were lost at sea.

I was the the rain that fell upon your

Weary head

And

Quenched your thirst.

I have been the desert that left you dry and helplessly

Crawling;

The oasis in the sand.

I was the sky that held you up so long ago

And the stars you have wished upon.

But

In this life;

I am the arms that hold you.

Yes,

My heart has always held you.

Butterfly

Standard

Oh butterfly.

You are lost and I am afraid

You cannot remember your way to the warmth of the sun.

How you arrived here is anyone’s guess.

Only you truly know the path you have journeyed.

I’ve tried to save you

But you’re up so high

Here inside

Where you are not meant to be.

Flitting and thrashing against the cold

Windowpane

For you know not the way to where you need to be.

When you settle

I will reach you.

I’ll put you back where you belong

In the open sky.

Please don’t look back.

This you must promise me

…………

You will fly.

Fly,

Fly.

Fly away free.

From The Beginning

Standard

And

I dissolve into the sky.

Wanderlust

Takes me by the soul.

The open road.

The crashing surf.

So much magnificence to behold

In

And

On

This earth.

The very roots of the trees share my

Ancient truth.

They know the origin

Of my the journey.

If I stand still

And breathe

I

Remember the connection.

The very source of

The

Beginning.

There

I am.

The Great Wilderness

Standard

I reopened the gate

And went out into

The

Great

Wilderness.

There I returned to the

Life

I new

As a child

And became

The

Peace

I have always carried.

For the birds welcomed me.

The wind embraced me.

The trees received me with a timeless remembering.

The dirt infused my senses with vivification.

The sky opened up in my heart

And the sun became a friend to my soul again.

I recalled this is where I belong.

There,

In

The

Great

Wilderness,

I did live

Once

More.

Gypsy

Standard

Gypsy heart.

Soul afire.

She reaches the stars

But longs to go higher.

There is lightening in her touch

And

Thunder in her eyes.

If you choose to stay down here,

You can simply watch her.

She is not hard to identify

Dancing up there in the sky.

Just know that

You will be left waiting.

She will forget who you were if you

Do not

Join her in the company of the stars.
