you compass
my nights
oracle of dreams
flying through
blankets of darkness
under a full moon glow
you breathe
life into
my soul
you dare me
to journey
into the unknown
exploring the labyrinth
passageways of my mind
a soft whisper in my ear
ancient secrets
barefoot I sink into
the soul of the earth
a pilgrimage to the
center of life/ death
and everything in between
walking the circle of reality
each step a prayerful song
healing stones in my palms
drifting in the deep end
I see a vision of yesterday
through teary eyes, I focus
on the hopes of tomorrow
riding an emotional tide
remembering the point
of entry where earth
and heaven connect
slowly clearing the haze
sprouting golden wings
in the center of now, a
dreamer finds peace and
soars in the winds of
change....

Thank you for visiting
peace and light
This is based on a dream
This is a wonderful dream.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rall
DeleteI really enjoyed your poem. Your dream circles around the deep connection to the earth that will take us forward. Suzanne - Mapping Uncertainty.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We need to stay connected to the earth if we are to save our planet for generations to come.

Love the above lines, True! It creates a balance to the context of situation making it known that one is still very much in control.

Ah my Dear Friend, balance is the key in life but, often difficult to accomplish.
DeleteA poem of power and experience: the dances on Ariadne's floor were vast accomplishments of body and spirit. Much gathered up here, a meditation in starlight.
ReplyDeleteTis the dream that awakens the spirit to dance under starlight. The whispering of night
DeleteAh, another one who has had a go at the labyrinth. Yours the most lyrical of the noght, by some distance. Beautifully felt and structured too... Just up my street! And a great way to finish my read this morning...Thank you, as ever - in my opinion you are a fine and accomplished writer.
ReplyDeleteScott, thank you for the lovely comment. Coming from you I am honored as your poetry is powerful and spirit driven. Thank you for hearing the music.
DeleteThank you for this beautiful response to the challenge!
ReplyDelete'remembering the point
of entry where earth
and heaven connect'
I feel this is very important to remember, if we are to make our way out of the Anthropocene labyrinth.
Ingrid, thank you for the challenge. Yes, we must remember the point of entry, the connection will lead us out.
DeleteYou need to dance more often!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex, I do! May you dance off the pages to the rush of lyrical song.
DeleteYour dance is a good one. The labyrinth dance, I'm sure was meant to be liberating.
ReplyDeleteI agree finding peace is liberating
DeleteMagical. And the end surprised me. What a transformation.
ReplyDeleteThank you Colleen!
DeleteA lovely and hopeful vision.
ReplyDeleteThis does indeed seem to come from that place where 'earth and heaven connect," as dreams often do. Soaring and full of magic.
ReplyDeleteThanks the connection is indeed magical.
DeleteI believe you are writing about an experience of walking the labyrinth, Truedessa. I would love to walk one at night under a full moon with a group of believers (in labyrinth power) and see what happens. My favorite line in this poem:
ReplyDelete"barefoot I sink into
the soul of the earth"
Hello, I have walked a labyrinth before, but this particular one was part of the dreamscape. Perhaps, a mingling of the two experiences. I hope you get to walk one, it really is a spiritual journey.
DeleteOh wow True, this was wondrous and magical. So engaging snd enjoyable to hsve taken the journey. Extremely well written! 🙂
ReplyDeleteThank you Rob, always a pleasure when you visit. Your poetry is wonderful.
DeleteLove this especially; "walking the circle of reality/each step a prayerful song/healing stones in my palms/drifting in the deep end." Soulful write 💝💝
ReplyDeleteThank you Sanaa much appreciated
DeleteThis is so beautiful. The looking back, the tears, the looking ahead - the vision. Sigh. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry, we must find a way out one step at a time.
DeleteWonderful, especially at the end. "golden wings in the center of now, a dreamer finds peace and soars in the winds of change...."
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim,
DeleteI love how you manage to capture the dreamscape, and indeed dreams are often similar to labyrinths.
ReplyDeleteThat they are Bjorn, dream on..
