Winter Solstice


Winter Solstice

………………………

The sun went down far too early today

I stomped like a child; a tantrum in my mind’s eye

wondering once again how to manage this darkness

as I desperately longed for the brightness of a blue sky

………………………………….

Another few months, another few weeks

far too many dark days with this nasty ice and snow

I breathed out a fowl scowl and mumbled a growl

wondering how to manage this cold plateau

……………………………………..

Knowing the darkness was inescapable

The warm days too far away

I yearned and begged Mother Nature for help

as I longed for light on this day

……………………………………………….

Mother Nature’s answer came a breath of wintery cold air

as she cast a handful of crystalized snowflakes my way

I jerked back as the snowflakes landed softly on my window

creating a beautiful design of snowflakes at play

…………………………………………. 

The wind too whispered a response with gentleness

in a low, slow, howl I heard him say

it’s time to celebrate and unwind dear spirit

Relax in these dark days, don’t dismay

………………………………………….

It’s time to rejoice and see this new gift before you

A gift of time when we can relax and let go

Let go all that no longer serves you

Rejoice in the new fallen snow

……………………………………..

Wrap yourself in the warmth of your loved ones

stock the fire till the embers are hot

Enjoy each season that falls upon up

and know it’s time to give thanks …just give thanks …for all that you got.

Souls Unwind


Risking ego just once
for a glimpse of planned peace

grasping energy around
invisible, unseen

Bouncing vibrations slow down
pulse quickens inside
settling down in my mind
thoughts refuse to subside

Sound fills the room
no fear and no pain
chest rising, breath slows
whispers of birds in the rain

Racing words less demanding
attention sought, now scorned
exhale out and breathe in
wiggle toes on the floor

Awakened Spirits lift high
float above shackled pain
release and set free
hearts shattered and stained

Just for now , welcome love
as you are lead into light
never alone we are One
we just need to take flight

Connect with the sounds
as your chakras align
get lost in the moment
be free Souls unwind

As you lift from this world
leave your worries and pain
breathe in and release
then do it again.

Breath in and release
then do it again.

Karma


Karma1

 

Voices stir inside her mind

as daunting tasks soon drop behind

contempt and rage beneath false smiles

while contemplating her doom exile

 

As shown upon a twisted face

the hate surreal and such disgrace

who should deserve such illness fate

as shadows creep and irritate

 

Which lessons will you teach today

Destiny Karma soon at play

as sunlight hides behind clouds of gray

come seek me out I’m not afraid

 

Your pleasure in provoking pain

will backfire on you , you shall not gain

Not one ounce of your misery

will set me back or injure me

 

For karma works outside your world

as spirituality fate cannot be seen

and if in this life your debt may pass

 eventually karma will surely

kick your ass.

THIS LIFE!




Soft lines on my face carving deeper, I age

A tale of my years as I stare blank and dismayed

Eyes alive and expressive, so much youth held within
Yet the softness and creases scream my years when I grin

Bones that do creak, maybe now just a little
Tells a story of how these great bones will soon brittle

Memories of past years,  I haven’t lived life to the fullest
I have a yearning it screams loud “go travel, be a tourist.”

I scream STOP please relax, take a breath, 1, 2, 3
Who am I kidding I’ve plenty of good years still in me

I gaze up and afar as I look past the night stars
yes this life may be short but I can still take it far

My eyes may be dim and my hair soon will silver
But there’s no way I’ll leave this life as a quiver

I’ll grab all and explore , as much as I can
Ill mediate, Ill dance, Ill sing loud with the band

Ill caress all my lines and my creaking old bones
Yes my life always full, I am never alone

I have love , great friends and natures skies of so blue
A strong loving heart and some quirkiness too

I’ll live life , yes I will
and then I will leave with a bang….

I know those lives I have touched
will surely whisper my name.

Gifts of Nature


 The epitome of our vision

Oh breeze oh breeze upon my face your breath so soft and free

My body yearns to feel thou breath which blows so warm on me

Oh breeze oh breeze with birds you fly as you lift them far and wide

A thousand feathers gently flock to you begging for a ride

 

Oh sun oh sun such glorious rays as you shine on flowers in bloom

All life does ask for your warming glow to save them from sure doom

Oh sun oh sun your hot healing fire makes the darkness go away

Each hour that you share your love, grey shadows never stay  

 

Oh crystal waters fast and flowing over each mountains peak so clean

You quench my body and my soul nourishing every cell pristine

Oh crystal waters your precious drops quenching all life on this earth

Your raging essence and your awesomeness supports energy, life and birth  

 

Oh earth oh earth under my body you heal as you energize me with your touch

When I lay upon your blanket green you fill my heart and soul with much 

Oh earth oh earth my mother dear I thank you for holding me here

Without your love and your greatest force my spirit would fly up in the air

 

Each one of you does strengthen me and hold my mortal frame 

As I enter one life from another I find your fire, wind and rain.

HUNGER


Hungry I soar like a black crow 

Never knowing which way to seek

Flying low as the wind does blow

the sky so high and earth below

emptiness echo’s off my beak

hungry I soar like a black crow

never knowing which way to seek

THE DAY I FLEW THE COOP!


Lying on top of the fresh new grass

dandelions gladly cushioned my head

I chewed a grass blade soft, young and sweet

wishing I could stay in my bed

 

The dishes piled high no one cared

kids eyes glazed from too much gaming

the ants were well fed , the dog hungry.. not dead

yet when I said “what a mess!”I heard blaming

 

I pondered and wished I could stay here all day

and wondered if they would notice or even ask why?

The pale sky whitish blue the sun had a hue

the bugs biting my neck, I sighed

 

I jumped up and yelled “that’s it, let them sit!”

I’ll fly away on the tail of my kite

if could just get the right breeze;

I would lift off my feet

the neighbors would just think what a sight!

“Oh for sure she’s lost it!” they may murmur with glee

just watch and see how far she gets with that wind

Just a girl with a kite whose head was not right,

certainly both of her knees will get skinned

 

As I ran and I huffed my lungs sure did puff,

with one great leap I was high in the air

From above high I could see, a world smaller than me

and then I thought “Wait take me back, I do care”

 

As I glided back down, feet touching no sound

I was back where I knew I belonged

I lay back down on the grass, no one noticed or asked

The day I flew the coop… but didn’t stay gone.

Earth Beneath My Feet


 upside_down_earth_sjpg10455

I wish I could just flip the world

and walk upon the sky

with the clouds beneath my tired feet

and the earth above me high

~

I would swim and glide through perfect blue

exploring every cloud I see

I would ask the stars for stardust light

for when the night fall downs on me

~

Like a bird I’d fly , I’d twist and turn

closing my eyes , sun against my skin

I would humbly ask the eagles how

to dance gently in the wind

~

I would dance and turn and fly about

till rest begged me to sleep

Then I’d open my eyes and my twisted earth

would be back against my feet

~

WHEN FIRST WE MET!


 I knew your type, tall, proud, and handsome

Extorting love from any eye that looked your way

You were clearly strong, an alpha male

I was visiting yet, I wondered if I should stay

dax 1

My how quick I soon seen your stubborn side

Your home had many chairs for guests

Yet as I moved to sit down quietly

I learned that chair was yours… as were all the rest!

 

You didn’t seem to mind so much

In fact you insisted that we share

As long as I would praise your name

And massage my hands throughout your hair

 

When I heard you needed a place to stay

Having just lost my love of years

I didn’t think I had the room

To love or even care

 dax playing

I hesitantly agreed to help

I wasn’t sure how this would go

Right now I didn’t know you well

I hoped our friendship would grow

 me dax ribbon

The day you moved your stuff all in

Still not sure how this would work

You showed up bringing your family in

Your brother who began to lurk

max dax

 

I thought wow, I’m nuts, just look at those two

So handsome yes they know

As they chose their separate rooms to sleep

I wondered how this would go

 

Before I knew true love set in

No one ever loving my family more

These two have offered all their love

Unconditional from the day they blessed my door

 dax flowers

Today one love was heaven called

God called you home to stay

You stayed as long as your body could

And for our love you hide your pain

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 

It was so hard to say good bye to you

As we never felt pain like this before

You love was all we could ever need

And if possible so much more

 

Big guy you know how much we loved you

I know your pain is now gone away

Please keep your spirit close to us

Until we meet again one day

sleepy face dax

DAX 1992- 2015

You are so loved and missed!

Swinging

Eyes closed dizzy

upside down moon smiles bright

peaceful night swinging side to side

weightless.
