I Just Wanna Drive

Pixabay

Sitting in my car the sun is shining
sunroof open, Ray-Ban's on....
taking in the panoramic view
I'm feeling alive and I just wanna
drive, drive , drive....

Traveling the road searching for a
piece of yesterday....

The radio blasts out a memory
I hear your voice it's crisp and clear
and I wonder do you remember me
or have treasured dreams disappeared

now, I'm longing for a piece of yesterday
when rock n roll took center stage
at least the songs haven't gone away
withstanding time in a restless age

Sitting in my car the sun is shining
sunroof open, Ray- Ban's on....
taking in the panoramic view
I'm feeling alive and I just wanna
drive, drive , drive....

Traveling the road searching for a
piece of yesterday....

Where Is Peace


Sometimes,  in my sorrow
I wonder what has happened
to dreams of peace?

The world is spinning in a
counterproductive motion
and I wonder who or what
will stop this course of
destruction

Mother Earth is waiting, when will
humans open their eyes and see 
the scars they have left in the forests 
lakes/rivers and atmosphere

Closing my eyes listening to
the messages of the ancestors
there is hope as dreamers,
teachers and healers are called
forth to take a stand in this
modern world

Sitting cross-legged under the
willow boughs, breathing in
calm evening air, tapping my
hand-held hoop drum to the
beat of my heart

A chorus of birds perch in a tree
chirping in tune with the melody
closing my eyes, my worries
float away in the rippling water

A feeling of  weightlessness
thump, thump, thump....listening
as nature awakens, calling me to
a place of harmony. 

My breathing shallow, sensation of warmth 
I am ready to take flight, a visitation
the great blue heron lands by my
side.  

In this state of consciousness, I find 
a place of peace...

To have peace in the world we need
to become people of peace



This is rough draft as it came from a meditation
Thank you for reading, wishing you
peace, light and love in your life

Guardian - Goddess of Cemetary Gates

Who am I,  you ask?  Do you really want to know?
I am the guardian of eternal silence
protector of souls

Who am I, you ask?  I am the gatekeeper to
the mysteries of the hereafter, many
enter through iron hinges of altered-reality but,
 only the living leave hauling hearts of grief

Who am I, you ask? I am goddess of  
eternal rest, on  dark rainy days
listen, the weeping willow cries
mourning for life's losses

Who am I,  you ask?  I am the caretaker
of sacred ground.  As you walk upon
the land be mindful, leave an offering
flowers, prayers and even tears
watering the soils of yesterday

Who am I, you ask?  I am key-holder
of lost dreams and nightmares
locking away pain and sorrow
from the journey of life

Who am I,  you ask?  I am Goddess Guardian
of  Cemetery Gates.  Mediator between
darkness and light...
I am the watchful eyes of
a thousand souls wishing to be free

Dreams are Priceless

Dreams have enriched my life
I've danced beyond the clouds
I've flown with mystical dragons
I've crossed the boundaries of my mind
I've found adventures in unexpected places
I've created songs and poetry from my heart
I've found pieces of me in the night
