How Far

How far back in time must
one travel to rediscover one's
inner self

Retracing the tracks left behind
from ancestors of another time
who honored the sun and moon
with song and dance

How far,  must one wander
through the dense forests
to find the wilderness of the mind
resting in a field of lavender and
violets brings clarity

Following the path of the earliest
dreamers, listening to the drumming
of the heart, planters of knowledge
who respected the earth

How many moons must pass
until we channel the energy
to uproot what has been seeded
perceptions, ideals and habits
that no longer serve for the greater
well being

Close your eyes, follow the drum's song
sit on the stream of thought, drink
in the cup of healing waters
revitalize your mind, body and soul

How many times must a willow bend
until it snaps from the weight of her tears

linking with earthweal

Dark Spaces

In the closet deep and dark
lies a monster within the walls
in the night hours he makes a call
to whom will he leave his mark

he hides deep within your mind
playing games of hide and seek
do you really want to take a peek
disturbing thoughts you might find

within the labyrinth corridors
this monster has many schemes
creates various twisted scenes
gray and dark mesh in horror

can you out play his witty game
here I am,  where are you
lace up your running shoes
no one really remains the same

within the monster of shame
we all fall prey to fright
in the dark hours of night
struggling to remain sane
