Sipping from a Cosmic Cup

thirsty gazing towards the evening sky

wishing for a sip from the cosmic cup

too many questions a heart wonders why

thirsty gazing towards the evening sky

blush of color, shooting star passes by

from that special place, a song rises up

thirsty gazing towards the evening sky

wishing for a sip from the cosmic cup

star child wanders lost in the universe
waiting for her dragon to fly her home
singing  from her heart in poetic verse
star child wanders lost in the universe
celestial beings, souls softly converse
seeking light, under a heavenly dome
star child wanders lost in the universe
waiting for her dragon to fly her home

Signals of Distress

Survival basic instincts of the human spirit to carry on

ultimately defeating the odds that try to tip the scales

running a race slow and steady we can persevere

vitality found within each beat of a willing heart

in quiet meditation we find our inner strength

visionaries pave the way for those who cannot see

allowing ourselves to dream of a better world

love and compassion hold the key to survival

Preparing the Way - Heart Center

7:00 pm  preparing to make room

spreading a woven blanket

from a clay pot gathering

sacred herbs

sage & sweet grass burn

from a scallop shell

placing hands over smoke

cleansing  impurities

that drag her down

inhale....exhale...

wafting smoke over

her body with a turkey

feather...

Crossed legged

 inhale...exhale...

  kind thoughts

   kind words

     kind heart

buffalo begins

to sing with each thump

she hears his breath...

thump

  thump

   thump

heya heya ho

heya heya ho

thump

   thump

     thump

we are the fire and the flame

we are the fire and the flame

heya heya ho

 heya heya ho

room fades away there are

no walls...the hawk overhead

calls her name...

she crosses realms feather light

no  longer tethered she is free

flying  over mountain ranges

searching the valley below

the drum still beats, but who is

playing... for  the doorway has

opened...

soaring...soaring...soaring...

the red tailed hawk overhead

swooping with each beat...

vowels roll from her tongue

a...e...i...o...u...

the beat grows stronger

yet she is floating, floating

transcending into the  upper

world...her mind slips

drifting in the light

fragrant smoke

inhale...

  exhale...

into the light a place

where there  is no time...

her body grows very still

she cannot move...

yet she is free of earthly

matter...

she feels him connected by

a different tone...he is

strong....she slips into

that sacred place...

heya heya ho...

ancient ones show the way

sense of peace,  she feels him

light being...two forces of energy

circulating....

below 4 pathways formed by

directional wind....garden

archway

inhale...exhale..

seeking a drink, from the fountain

of knowledge...growing roots

for a stronger tomorrow...

meeting in the heart center

honoring a vision

no picture today as I want

the words to speak alone...

author's note: to a friend
may we always hear that
drumbeat. Hope you are
well...

Polaris Guides Us Home

our story written in the stars
verses appear from here to Mars
heaven shines with radiant light
heartfelt poetry in the night, true love is ours

finding our way Polaris guides
healing waters found in moon tides
crystalline children of the world
uplifting songs our wings unfurled, soaring hillsides

dropping our cloaks in dreamy skies
connecting energy we rise
crossing the bridge traveling home
lonely days we no longer roam, smiles replace cries

River of my Soul

Embarking on a soul journey

paddling my canoe down river

to a place I have seen before

carrying a bow and quivers

I have sojourned  these waters

in my endless dreams...

Tis here the honey colored moon

plants kisses on tall green pines

as the sun gently bids goodnight

searching for you, exploring signs

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

Following a shooting star

light shining across a night sky

drifting into the depth of my soul

I have stood on mossy riverbanks

the water lilies and I have grieved

in patience and stillness waited

with each drumbeat, I believed

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

Slicing through mighty rapids

riding currents, paddles ready

red tail hawk, flies overhead

calming my heart,  be steady

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

Following a shooting star

light shining across a night sky

drifting into the depth of my soul

Brother bear dances for me

to the  shaman healing song

as I float with red salmon

mystic haze, trees march along

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

leave your moccasins behind

come run barefoot with me

marking trails, leaving imprints

for seven generations to see

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dream...

following a shooting star

light shining across a night sky

drifting into the depth of my soul
