Thirsty for a heavenly sign
a wine colored blend
splashes across the sky
barefoot I drink in its
splendor...
tints of pink Chablis,
deep red Merlot, mixed
with blue undertones
hints of sweet Moscato
an after-dinner delight
sipping in the last moments
of daylight

Today, you are enough, I invite you
on a shamanic journey of transformation
close your eyes, allow yourself entry into
a sacred place of peace within you
Today, you are enough remove the
cloaks that no longer serve you in
your quest for a higher consciousness
there is truth in nakedness
Today, you are enough let your heart
beat in rhythm with the ancestral
drum of mother earth, realigning
mind, body and spirit, pulsating
with the universe as one being
thump, thump, thump
Today, let your visions expand
seeing from a new perspective
embrace a field of slow change
growing with renewed energy
Today, let feathers and talons
sprout from the brokenness
of life, dreams shift in the night
offering flight on open wings
Today, let yourself soar un-tethered
circling your intentions from me to we
to heal a weary world from darkness
into a song of rebirth.....
thump, thump, thump

author's note: I saw this photo yesterday and meditated
on it's meaning. Last night I dreamt of transformation
peace, love and transformation

This song of spring begins to grow
tree limbs budding with renewal
rising with the morning sun glow
seasonal changes are crucial
tree limbs budding with renewal
the crocus breaking the darkness
rain glistens like a precious jewel
contemplating heavens vastness
the crocus breaking the darkness
choir of robins sing in harmony
contemplating heavens vastness
practicing the art of psalmody
choir of robins sing in harmony
rising with the morning sun glow
practicing the art of psalmody
this song of spring begins to grow

author's note: I missed the weekly
challenge but, here is my humble
offering. I recently read an article
about the manatees in Florida and
the uptick in death rate of these
amazing creatures.
Due to climate change, colder waters
and lack of fresh vegetation the manatees
had trouble surviving the winter months.
Thanks for reading
Peace, life and co-existence
This being human is a quest
from birth to our final breath
along the way we travel many
paths making decisions at
the crosswalks of life
This being human is a gift
one not to be taken lightly
we are stewards of the earth
there is no other place that
we can live in a bodily state
This being human is a river
always flowing towards the
ocean facing the challenges
of strong and calming waters
navigating the currents of life
This being human is a tree
growing roots and branching
out in uniqueness and beauty
connected to the earth, yet
always reaching for the heavens
This being human is a mystery
searching for clues to solve
what we cannot comprehend
the unsolved riddles of life,
death and everything in between
“Sometimes we're just Being Human, but we're always Human Beings.” - JD Fortune."

within these abandoned walls
once lived happiness, music
filled the inner chambers
of a loving heart
broken keys, now out of tune
rotting floorboards moan in
grief for the songs of yesterday
sacred foundation crumbling
instrumental was the mortar
of pitch, tempo, texture and
structure which created overall
harmony in this space of time
fleeing from life when loss
was too great to bare, the cross
of misunderstanding weighing
down the fringes of reality
memories float through filtered
moonlight and a piano plays the
blues, a heart swells, drowning in
a dream well
outside the vineyard yields
sweet seeds of hope, cupped
hands sip intoxicating flavors
life emerges to the cicadas song

riding in the deep blue of night
spirits unite
feeling alive
indigo sky
riding untamed in wispy clouds
are dreams allowed
can love prevail
past misty veil
riding until the morning light
holding on tight
smoldering eyes
heavenly sigh

big cats visits me in perceptive dreams
mystical creatures under moonbeams
prowling the landscape of my mind
our wanderings magically entwined
it takes courage to face the heartland
pondering what is difficult to understand
spirits free to roam and not to be confined
in the night, it's strength you might find
do not run from fear, walk in knowledge
find a place where your footing is solid
in life/death leave imprints of love behind
open your eyes, clouds can be silver lined
big cats visit me in perceptive dreams
our wanderings magically entwined

I missed Sherry's prompt this week
so a late offering to the mystical
lions.
Author's note: A couple of years ago
I actually had an encounter with a mountain
lion on a deserted highway. That moment
has stayed with me as it was surreal.
I still ponder the deeper meaning.
