The Language of Birds

Courtesy of The Sunday Muse       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
I will sing the language of birds
setting free the songs within me
composing ballads, stringing words
I will sing the language of birds
searching in the garden for verbs
perching high in a flowering tree
I will sing the language of birds
setting free the songs within me

journey in life.

Spinning, Molding, Shaping

The Sunday Muse



These hands caked in moist clay
what will they form on a potter's wheel
spinning
  molding
    shaping

it may take a lifetime to discover a work of art
for each day we are sculpted in subtle ways

what tools will you use to sharpen the details
of life, will it be birdsong and yellow daffodils
skies of silver and blue

will water flow in the river of thoughts
creating an emerging vessel of being

creativity takes time and imagination
a heart that is stronger than play-doh

a clay heart may have cracks but, the
cracks remind us that we have lived
and loved...

its not so much the finished pottery
as it is the space that fills it

what will you fill yours with

poetry
songs
love
compassion
calmness
peace

author's note:  I live in the U.S.
and have been studying dream-work
for many years. I am on a quest for
the greater meaning of life, I am not
sure it will ever be found.

A Day-Dream Away

For the Sunday Muse


Standing in a land of desolation
barren are the signs of creation

somewhere past lavender skies
there's a place where spirits fly

seeking the waters of salvation
to end this era of desperation

walking on the sands of sorrow
I slip into the arms of tomorrow

a new doorway of hope appears
drifting songs of distant gondoliers

paradise is only a daydream away
on the edge of reality, palms sway

crossing the spiritual threshold
from my eyes tears gently roll

I catch a glimpse of golden light
my heart awakens at the sight

will there be a day of jubilation
is life an illusion of interpretation
