Saltwater Washed...

she stands alone
her mind is drifting
beneath her feet
the sands are shifting
saltwater washed
her toes are chilled
saltwater wept
across cheeks are spilled
to release from within
that which she desires
fear will no longer control
love embers, her fires
release, let go, remember
accept, allow, be
know, gratitude, compassion
all this naturally

COOLED EMBERS

Alone, in silence,
she sits and waits
devoid of motion
her breath hesitates.

A moment in time
she always remembers;
once a love inflamed,
now only cooled embers.

Ignite once again
return to your source
Flame strong move forward
dance high without remorse.

Discovery

A quiet mind
in sacred solitude;
Emerges fresh with
awakened attitude.
Life is New;
A blessing to behold,
forever in youth,
growth more ever bold!
There is no end
nothing to fear;
"Here & NOW!!"
this is my cheer.

Shhhh, My Ocean

"Shhhhh" she whispers again and again
I close my eyes and venture within.

"Seek only one" she implores of me
I go with eyes closed quietly.

"Listen to my voice" she breathes
any distraction now leaves.

"I am all that you will ever need" she said with a sigh
I know this truth and graciously cry.

"You are safe to be" she offered gently
I center and focus on true tranquility.

"Come walk with me" she extends, reaches
instantly I sense cool sands of beaches.

"I've shown you" she says with a gentle motion
I open my eyes - to my life - my pacific ocean.

"Shhhhh, shhhh,... shhhh, shhhhh" she gives soft repeat
as I stand now aware of the waters lapping my feet.

"Shhhhh, shhhhh, shhhhh,....shhhhhh
shhhhhh, shhhhhh,.... shhhhh... shhhh..."

Alone?

A gathering... a group;
A society is formed.

An idea... shared thoughts;
A religion is born.

A Rule... set regulations;
Restrictions adorned.

A loss of the Self...

I'd rather be...

ALONE.

Hello Me

Hello,
How are you doing today?

I am doing quite well, I must say.
I am glad that you asked me.

Well, you know that I care quite deeply.

Ah, yes, but there are times where you get so busy --
I wonder if maybe you've forgotten me.

I promise to make you never feel that again.
You are the very core of my beginning and end.
I am blessed every moment for your breathe.
The vast knowledge you aquire, I will never forget.
You share your deepest emotions openly.
I feel so alive to know you this closely.
You have come to me when you feel sad.
You unleashed at me when you were mad.
Through it all, I know that you still care;
Because THROUGH IT ALL you remain steadfastly there.
There is no doubt that you are capable of love.
And for that I soar free like a peaceful dove.

Well, thank you for sharing that with me today.
It helps to hear what I have to say.

Did I Start or Finish?

Just wondering where I begin...
Is it the same as the end?
Do I finish where I started?
Is life truly a circle unparted?
How big does this circle grow?
Please tell me, does anyone know?
Do I see my past again?
Or will I only know when I begin?
And then forget just as I finish...
doubts and fears allowing truth to diminish?
Or do I remember more as I go...
awakening to the ethereal glow?
How many times around this circle will I walk?
How many conversations again will I talk?

Clear my mind of these words - they must go...

where I begin -NOTE- the end I will already know!

Journey Inward

A journey inward
many years been traveling;
Many secrets to unlock
many more threads unraveling.

When will I complete
this journey of the self?
Only I can know,
and that knowledge my wealth!

But until the journey is finished,
I will keep going within;
finding the beginning,
knowing THAT is the end.

What About Me?

Hmmm, where to start?
She's bright, witty
Some even say, "Smart"

Eloquent, colloquial...?
Surely, you jest
She's actually quite normal.

If she were a flower
She'd be a daisy
Kissed by the light dew shower.

She is timid and shy
Some think it's a tool,
HA! That's hysterically wry!

Her heart is flowing and copious
She gives until it hurts,
Gives again, believes in being generous.

She has discovered herself - a true value,
Fascinating and beautiful,
Abundant energy she offers you.

Knowledgeable in nothing,
Curious about everything else,
Her mind constantly working.

Spiritual, not at all religious,
Adheres to her own truth,
She's really quite mysterious!

Cautious, she is not one to "fall in love"
For what does that mean?
Mockingly, "To fly on the wings of a dove?"

Very grounded yet capricious
She likes to dream
Of things quite propitious.

She believes that she creates her own fate
Moves ever steadily forward,
Not the type who will sit and wait.

So... there it is.... there you go....
A glimpse of this being....
Is there anything else you'd like to know?

If what...

If what you feel
is real

what you live
you give

what you hate
you create

what you desire
you aspire

then...

what is real
you feel.

One to Be

I am you are me
take a look at the simplicity;

No difference between the two,
no separation of said "me and you."

"I hate that person..." I begin to squelch,
realizing they are but a mirror of the Self.

Relfections that are inside appear as we interact.
This is how we learn; so long as we don't react.

But rather, respond....

I am you are me,
be well... or... just Be.

Eternity in a Moment

I can look into your eyes for a moment;
I see eternity.
If my existance were completely spent;
I'd have lived eternally.
Each hour, every minute, yes, even the seconds
are a blessing of time;
Even if merely to go as your call beckons
I would follow - sublime!
Just to look into your eyes and see
Ah, for a moment - eternity

it stops

ceases to move

I breathe then blink
and eternity does continue
without fear
I look again -

but only for a moment...
