I Greet You
I greet you
With open wings
A lover’s blush
Soft arms
Dancing eyes
Fiery skin
Roses for jewels
An Oak’s Breath
A wind this way does blow
A song this way does sing
A voice this way does speak
Of simpler things, not weak
A tongue upon my cheek
It is clarity I do seek
Of a tomorrow no longer bleak
Of you I do bequeathe
All that knows how to breathe
And life remains a soothing sound
My soul grows strong
An oak’s breath- a sweet scent
In a mountain I have lived
No more sorrow
I have found the gold
The search for which I did seek
Blind Wolf
Sky of purple time
Filled of broken windows
Remain untouched
By the purity
Of a scented hand
That reaches
Outside of blue shores
Love-a blind wolf
Howls to a sacred moon
That longs
With tired birds
Of procrastination
Bringing passersby
Lonely hitchhikers
Timeless travelers
That fear not only
The coldness of winter’s thorns
But the openness of spring
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
What Sudden Songs
I don’t know
What sudden songs
Of nature sing
Quiet, though it may seem
Slightly restless
Wandering westward
The horizon of the sun
He sleeps next to me
At night
Sweet face
Lying where I sometimes stare
What dreams
Keep him here
As You Stand
Flickering in the wind
As you stand beside me
Full of strength
Desire for you
Fills me
All day long
I lie here
In your arms
As eternity passes by
Pure lightning
In your hands
That cover me
Claim me
Consume me
You are all that I know
Out beyond the ocean
To where the depths
Of my heart lie
Is you
With your strong eyes
Your brave
And flame filled ties
Joy’s Birth
I dreamt
I gave birth
To joy
And I fed her
As she grew
Into her fullness
Her smile
Opened hearts
Her presence
Inspired a world
That had forgotten
She existed
She taught many
As she aged
Showing them
That beauty
And love
Peace and happiness
Did not need to be searched for
Or bought
But lived in their own hearts
Where they touched
God’s grace
Humanity’s Stones
I want to know I can trust you
We did not sever a long forgotten past
Karmic dealings sold upon a street fair
Of a foreign town
No wonder we gathered a pile of
Misunderstandings
In the hands we held together
What healing will bring the peace, the white flag of surrender to claim the victory?
No war is ever won
Cast your iron shoe
Into the fire of release from
Humanity’s stones
That hold us back
The Shift
Long and weary
Is the night
Before we awaken to our light
Centuries of resistance
Fear we repress
Walking into this door
Of our salvation
A pool of memories
Forming the invitation
We know when the time has come
And here we rejoice
We celebrate our voice
No longer unheard
Only ourselves to blame
We were our only victim
Our repressor
The one who held us down
The shift
A gradual ascent
Leading us to
A glorious view
The Collective
Beauty becomes me
In the mystery of my soul
I hunger for what is not
Touched with the human hand
The mystical revelation
The shaman’s song
The connection
We all long for
In this dance of intimacy
The learning
I discover
The many parts that make the whole
Encompassing the heart
Of humanity
In the palm of my hand
I reach the destination
Reborn by this epiphany
That deep down
In the center
Of myself
Is
All others
