From Jewels of Awe

Bowl of Fruit

Your face
Turns dark
A shadow on the wall
Hides from view
I miss the sight
Of love
The scent of morning dew
Dust fills the room
Paintings hang
Upside down
Fruit sits quietly
In a bowl
Waiting...

To be eaten

Wings

Light
And it's depth
Of endless treasures
Life
Blossoming
With it's many layers
Of wings
That call to me
take flight
take flight

Endless Beauty

Dream
Into being
Happiness
Of a garden
Planted with seeds
Of joy

Growing into
Full blooms
Of peaceful contentment

Blossoming
Into light
Filled of

Endless beauty

Holy Temple

In the windows
I see you there
I stand against time
Walking with wolves
Time passes
Ancient seas
Lift their hands
Don’t try to understand
Why the windows
Do not close
Follow me
To the sacred site
We will build
A holy temple
And rejoice
With pure hearts
And dance
In celebration
Of the
Sacredness of
being

Death

I’ll never see your face again
Or hear your laughter
As days go by
I remember you still
As you were
When you were still here
With swollen tears
And a heart that aches
I’ll never again
Feel your embrace
Even though your spirit is here
It’s just not the same
As hearing your voice
And seeing you near
No more tomorrows
Will hold you
Only yesterday remains
Yet the sun still sets
and the stars burn bright
The morning becomes day
The day becomes night
But you are not here
And the sorrow and pain
That death can claim
Bring heavy hands
It’s just not the same
And I wish that you were still here
With footsteps light
And laughter long

From Journey of A Woman

In the Wistful Chill

In the wistful chill
Of mornings lost
I caught a breeze
And did sail
Upon the currents
Offered there
Away from you
I flew
Away from you
I flew
Was it desperation
That wrapped around me
Or did I catch
The consequence
Withering once
Oh
Maybe twice
And your eloquence
Evades me now
Bitten by your song
In the wistful chill
Of mornings lost

We Began

Many tides
Rolling into my heart
Fingers like bows
Take their aim
Sharp as the sky
On a cold winter's day
I will give you
All the sunrise
Has to offer
Blue skies
Calling me again
Lift the heaviness
From your hands
With a sweet smile
Tell time
It has no reason
To worry
We began
With always written
Across destiny

In My Dreaming

Night awakens dawn
Stirring in the light
Of the glistening
Of your touch
Swallowing
The cat’s murmur
And I consume
The hungry passion
Of your being
Calling the joy
My own
I adore
The beating
Of your heart
My eyes greet
The glisten
Of your song
I have dreamed of you
And in my dreaming
Awoke
To find you here

Serendipity

Lonely day
I have met you
Too many a time
With no flower nor friend
To let happiness in
I want to fall
Like a leaf from a tree
How do I find it within
It’s a search
Without an end
Could it be
That I must
Just simply be
And suddenly
A rainbow will appear
Lonely day
I must stop allowing
Misery to be my master
A long deep road
I’ve traveled
Where are you
Serendipity?

From Casting Away Shadows

Casting Away Shadows

The light has come
To cast away the shadows
In time’s remaining hands
All that was left undone
Becomes a finished chore

Dancing into the light
Of remembrance
Of who I am
My sacredness
A key I have turned
Unlocking
My worthiness
With timid hands
That forgot
How to shine

The shadows barely there
Anymore
As they come
Into the light
To merge
Into wholeness

Over the Horizon

Over the horizon
Of my yesterday
Lies the beating of my heart
With its sobriety
The purity of its sigh
Delighting
In how it feels
To be loved
The way you stand there
So full of love
Opens my heart to new places

The Road of Intimacy

We touch each other gently
In the twilight of the day
Soft remembrance
Of a long forgotten place and time
We fondle with
The intimacy
Of our own minds
Stretching out our arms
To embrace and touch and remain

True to each other
True to ourselves

We fill ourselves with gratitude
Talk about our uncertainties
Our certainties
Our visions
And how we want
The road of intimacy
We travel on
With bare feet
Naked
Our souls bare
For one another to see
And love
And adore
This love we have
Sings to my heart
And renews my faith

In all things

As Timeless As Creation

Bring joy
To this table
My worn out heart
Tired from
Disappointments
Bad choices
Wrong turns
Accepts
This face
As its own

Bring love
To this room
Mending
What was broken by time
Reconciling false beliefs
With the magic
Of its touch
The softness of its reach

Bring laughter
To this home
Uplifting views
Of serious disdain
Releasing illusions
Inviting life in though
Doors that were closed
By harsher lessons of life

Bring light
In its purest form
The dance of the soul
The flight of the heart
An embrace

As timeless as creation
