Broadening my horizon
I dare to cross the threshold
into the land of whispering winds
across a snow laden field
I silently leave my tracks
Under a January full moon
I hear the cry of a lonely wolf
pausing in the journey , I
listen
vibrating drums, lead me forward
teaching me to track my heart
illuminating portal of change
star gates opening full of energy
shining light in new areas of life
searching hidden desires of my soul
cautiously transcending two worlds
In the shadows of night, I softly sigh
in another world I gave you my heart
take all of me, love I offered freely
let us journey together as one body
healing and mending each other
Great pines filtered moonlight
under a thick blanket of winter
nestling in the heat of your
warmth
snow thunder crackles in the sky
gazing into your eyes I see fire
Awakening in a dream, I breathe
nourishing an appetite for wisdom
under a full moon, howls of devotion
wild spirit roams, seeking pathways
exploring the realms of the unknown
Climbing steadily to the mountaintop
resting on a massive granite boulder
my mind drifts with scents of you
naked in a green spring meadow
I long for a wildflower afternoon
Clouds float by revealing round moon
creating a hunger for new understanding
opening my pouch, offering a pinch of powder
ashes from yesterday, releasing pools of tears
I cry head tilted upward toward the sky world
and I wonder do you still feel me?

This is beautiful. The lover offered every bit of herself and now a wish to be together as one, such bliss and really a masterpiece:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the lovely comment. It means so much to me. Happy New Year!
DeleteOh! That is beautiful. The mood is heart touching and the imagery is tinged with melancholy.
ReplyDeleteI loved it.
-HA
Hi HA, I haven't seen you around in awhile. So, nice of you to visit my place.
DeleteThat was beautiful and then so sad at the end...
ReplyDeleteHi Alex - I guess love can be beautiful and sad at the same time. I hope you had a restful holiday time and may 2015 be the year your dragon soars.
DeleteSo very poignant, Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteMary,
DeleteSo nice to see your little doggie pic. Wishing you the best in 2015.
Felt the grief and longing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading..
DeleteThe pain is very papable in your words. I like the poignancy the question at the end adds.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gabriella I had a dream about a white wolf and the poem came from some place inside.
DeleteI traveled with you ----I love "teaching me to track my heart"......and the wolf howls (of course!) I especially love the "Awakening in a dream" stanza, which is so beautiful. Wonderful writing, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteThanks for traveling with me as we seems to have met on a path in the journey of life. Of course the wolf howls..smiling..
The love story and narrative is exquisite, especially when blended with those nature images...
ReplyDeleteHave a happy new year :-)
Hi Bjorn,
DeleteThank you for the lovely comment. wishing you the same..may your bear spirit always be free.
"I silently leave my tracks... I like that. "Awakening in a dream, I breathe / nourishing an appetite for wisdom..." Excellent. If only I knew how to awaken in a dream. I still feel you.
ReplyDeleteWe all need some nourishment..We all dream it is just some have forgotten their dreams and need to find them again. I knew you would still feel me as I feel you as we are blue.
DeleteI love the imagery here and the story as it weaves between 2 worlds...fav lines were, 'star gates opening full of energy
ReplyDeleteshining light in new areas of life'
I feel the draw of the full moon draw me in as it is doing tonight!

DeleteI admire your honoring the dream of your heart and soul Truedessa ~ Though the ending is sad, I always believe that spirits who are meant to be together will find their way back to each other again ~ Happy New Year ~
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
DeleteThanks, I did feel the need to honor the dream. I hope you have a Happy New Year as well :)
Awakening in a dream to see what it shall be, letting ones spirit fly free as the wolf howls upon the moon, or sits there and cleans itself like a loon lol
ReplyDeleteWell the moon does seem to make one a loon
Deleteor does it just make my head swoon?
Your question in this piece can only be answered yes!
ReplyDeleteZQ

ReplyDeleteSuzy, I enjoyed reading your interview with Sherry over at Poets United. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteThis is such a beautiful love poem. It covers so many realms of love, of its wildness, irrationality and passion. A sad ending but beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Myrna it was inspired by a dream.
Deleteheh wildflower afternoons can be rather fun...and i like how your two worlds interact in this...the other world where the connection is and how that leaks over into reality....
ReplyDeleteHi Brian,
DeleteNice to see you back and dVerse. I was a bit worried.
