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.
A lovely way to voice your inspiration
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday
much love...
Thanks - may you a a good Sunday as well!
DeleteTaking it all in as a new journey is on its way, fine way to be any day.
ReplyDeleteBut, to take a new journey - Do I need to close old doors?
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry
DeleteReally nice rhythm. After a the night always comes the morning and a new beginning.
ReplyDeleteI will let the light guide me, I hear knocking, somewhere a door waits to be open.
DeleteLife goes on ... as long as a door waits to be opened. Good read!
ReplyDeleteIf a door door waits there is is always hope!
DeleteLove the thought of what a heron can inspire... every time I come across one there is something special with that large bird.
ReplyDeleteYes, the heron is a guardian for me, it usually means something special will occur in the very near future.
DeleteHey True!
ReplyDeleteAnd the symbolism of the willow that may weep and yet provides a light at twilight. Say hi to the heron.
Gary.
haha - the heron sends his regards
DeleteWhat a privilege to be visited by a heron in your dreamscape...
ReplyDeletethank you it was a powerful dream, and I am honored.
DeleteThis is absolutely stunning! To have a heron visit you in your dream symbolizes stability, self-reliance and careful planning.
ReplyDeletethank you the heron brings wisdom and patience to those who hear the call.
DeleteHerons symbolize a connection to the earth and that wisdom and insight will come from delving that connection. Loved this piece. It is a wonderful intermingling of dreams, myths and the human quest for the spiritual.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy for me it was a sign of change and spiritual growth perhaps.
DeleteWhat a wonderful vision - beautiful poem! I like the idea of one's heart taking flight and the spreading of wings. This poem gives me a feeling of peacefulness.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary, I was quite taken with the dream and the wisdom found in another realm.
DeleteSo well written- like the poet knows what to do now...
ReplyDeleteZQ
The poet is still trying to figure out the meaning between the lines :)
DeleteThis is a marvelous composition and a mind boggling coincidence. (We both wrote about a willow)
ReplyDeletecoincidence or synchronicity as the oracle speaks to each of us.
DeleteDreaming of a heron must have made you so inquisitive as to why but writing this poem was a great reward not only for you but for us as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Old Egg, whenever, I have a dream of this type I step back and take a reality check, what does this bird have to say to me about my waking life.
DeleteThe refrain reads like a prayer itself. So beautiful. Isn't it wonderful to have a vision of Nature in her bird form in dream? You are one lucky soul.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I welcome a dream like this is as I know I am receiving a visitation of some form.
DeleteI really enjoyed that your poem reads like guided meditation. And when your note said it was inspired by a dream, the enjoyment grew.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful visitation!
ReplyDeleteHi Truedessa - love the thought of meeting under the boughs of willow in the clear air of the night - and your dream - a wonderful way to express your thoughts ... and how wonderful the heron is there with you - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI love the flow of this poem - you really capture the elements
ReplyDeleteAnd what a visit that turned out to be, spurning this delightful piece, well done to you.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I breathed in water I almost choked. I am not a good swimmer.
ReplyDeleteKidding aside, I loved the visual this painted.
Exquisite! Images are so misty.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! Heron was talking to you!
