Two Sides

 

Your call heads or tails

flipping a coin where will it land

will the outcome balance the scales

fate awaits at the toss of a hand

Smiling you call heads

sure that life will go your way

coasting downhill,  shiny red sled

cutting through strife, another day

I stand there tails on my side

majestic bird waiting for flight

where it  lands, wind it's guide

touched my sympathy of his plight

Your call heads or tails

could life be a game of chance

flipping a coin how far will it sail

are you willing to learn it's dance

Together different sides of a coin

but, there is hope when two join

Lover's Moon

pic taken by me

nestled in nakedness effulgent moon

two ardent  lovers sing romantic songs

melodic lyrics heavenly hearts swoon

shimmering brightly beyond human throngs

lie with me under coverings of night

embracing warm moments,  igniting flesh

play me a song as my spirit takes flight

stroke of midnight soft notes as one we mesh

bodies sway, natural rhythm mating souls

rising passion luminous moonlit sky

pieces of my heart you quietly stole

surrendering in your arms, gentle sigh

somewhere in the heavens a shooting star

crystal rain showers tumble from afar

Hidden Wisdom

tracking tones flowing sweet

rich & deep, wooden flute plays

music floating grey mystic air

vast field hard crunching snow

each step crisp crackles leading

me forward, journey boundless

hidden face, wise gatekeeper

"what is it you are seeking"

I reply " gateway to understanding"

my moccasins are worn & weary

his reply "over the mountain is

a field of daisies & juniper trees"

take me to the place of whispering

waters, I heard it has a message

of hope/ peace that I must hear

"Your message is blowing in seeds

of a dream..from a sapling will grow

a mighty tree, with strong roots"

" a lush green crown will offer you

rest but, first walk across hot embers

it will strengthen your heart & soul"

my soles will burn from carrying a

heavy heart in this journey of life

I need to lighten my knapsack

"your heart is heavy as you love

deep like the roots under my feet

scars embedded in your rich bark"

"carved within your trunk names

of those who came and went

as you wept in winter's silence"

"the world is full of those with

weak roots and hollow trunks

they will die of their own decay"

"their dreams will vanish in mist

but, those of true dreamers will live

on, for they thirst for the quest"

opening my eyes a clear vision

a land filled with rich opportunity

under winter's snowy landscape

Spring will arise with new life...

Author's note: This was inspired by

a dream I had last night..I've been

sick for a few days and in my fever

had a vision I am honoring it with

this poem.

Peace and light...

Dryad

Devoted heart, southerly breeze

beautiful dryad, spiritual lady

nestled within sturdy oak tree

cascading locks, twigs & bark

guardian of whispering woods

mythical being, songs of the lark

lovers composing poetry light on feet

wings of wild passion, urgent flight

leaves offer shade, cooling rising heat

human desire embracing natural world

entwined limbs reaching heavenward

soft petals flowers of love gently unfurl
