The Spirit Within



To find your true soul purpose
you must be willing to expand
the depth of your heart center
stretching  your mind, body
and spirit

focusing  on your breathing
clearing your head of debris
slowly inhaling and exhaling
become your own warrior
giving thanks to the moon
and stars for clarity, greet
the day with a sun pose

the path to enlightenment
starts with the first wobbly
step, balance comes with
practice overcoming personal
boundaries, you are able
to stand with confidence
resting on one foot with
the crane as your guide

meditate with the bird-songs
listening to the call of nature
tranquility comes from within
find your inner peace and
you will find your true self


Kind thoughts
Kind words
Kind heart

Sgt Pepper's Spicy Trip







Come join the lonely hearts club band
Sgt Pepper promised
with a little help from my friends
you  could dance in strawberry
fields forever

She hopped the bus for a magical
mystery tour, passing Penny Lane
singing with Lucy in the sky
with diamonds

incorporating "Pepper"
thanks for visiting I had
fun with this one!

Breathing in Elements

Truedessa's Collection




















we meet under willow boughs at twilight
seeking balance, my heart yearns to take flight
passageway found chanting ancient prayer
breathing in elements earth, water and air


sturdy trunk, hidden doorway  appears
stepping into darkness, light disappears
seeking wisdom, earthly roots need repair
breathing in elements earth, water and air


following the path of tears, healing water
transitional movement, getting stronger
dreaming, suddenly I become aware
breathing in elements earth, water and air


we meet under willow boughs at sunlight
awakening spirit, my heart takes flight
spreading wings, a new journey to prepare
breathing in elements earth, water and air

authors note; The heron visited me in
a dream, this is to honor that vision.

June's Moon

original source unknown













June's strawberry moon
making my head swoon
warm nights

dreams of blue lagoons
are we fools or loons
starlight

organic our tunes
wrapped in a cocoon
sealed tight

Lai it on!

Harbor of Dreams



Truedessa's Collection















eyes of heaven laden with tears
filling thirsty rivers and streams
waiting for light to reappear

brighten my days, oh golden sphere
sailboats carry unfulfilled dreams
eyes of heaven laden with tears

drifting to some faraway pier
in a harbor of blue, hope gleams
waiting for light to reappear

beyond dark clouds, the sky is clear
dreams believed lost can be redeemed
eyes of heaven laden with tears

love softly whispers, in my ear
breathing in life or so it seems
waiting for light to reappear

embracing hope, dispelling fears
brighten my days, oh golden sphere
eyes of heaven laden with tears
waiting for light to reappear
