Golden Light of Dawn

Today, I thought of you and days gone past
our zany adventures into the unknown
dreamy visions , poetry enthusiasts
collecting our pouches of healing stones
never knowing how long the quest would last
on feather light wings our spirits have flown
following the rhythmic beat of bird song
rays of hope, in the golden light of dawn

Thanks for reading - not sure how I did...my mind is still foggy

I thought of a friend today.....

Enactivism in the Poetry of the Mountains

Mountain top

Today, I thought about the act
of climbing the mountainous
terrain, the patience and laborious
journey to the peak, traveling
with my walking stick on sacred
ground, with each step one must
be observant and respectful of
the trail-way, my soft-skinned
moccasins touching the moist
earth sole to soul, crunching
autumn's brightly fallen leaves
inhaling, the fresh scent of pine
becoming a part of the wilderness

There is something special
happening when communing
with nature at such a height
exhilarating, yet humbling

It's an enactment of the journey
of the ancestor's of days gone past
that traveled lightly and understood
the importance of the land, growing
spiritually setting an intention, then
moving forward one step at a time

It's about the vibrational energy
one sends out into the universe
it's about sitting in silence on a
giant boulder, taking in autumn's
offerings, leaning against a giant
maple tree for support in the quest
of understanding, peeling one's layer
of skin amongst the birch trees 

It's about seeking something
other worldly, walking with
the shadow people, soaring
with the eagle up high

It's about discovering a fresh
perspective in life, drinking
from the cup of water, earth
sky and wind

Thank you for visiting

Indescribable

You knocked on the door to my heart

I welcomed you into my revolving world

in between we found a new kind of love

designed just for us; two lost souls

A realm of higher complexity

an  astral plane that only we could fly

floating in a dreamy trance like state

embracing the unknown, we touched

Undeniable

    Indescribable

        Indefinable

We walked in golden sunlight

danced under blue moonlight

flew the infinite cosmic heavens

hung on to the fringes of reality

Transcended moments in time

drifted in the shadows of yesterday

navigated future possibilities

spiritual journey to the other side..

Unquestionable

  Incommunicable

    Inexpressible

Searching for a deeper meaning..a dream quest...

tell me it meant something to you
my moccasins now worn, the soles have softened
traveling the path of pines and dried leaves 
chasing a clearer vision.

author's note: I meditated this morning and asked for a message
This older poem made its way into my line of vision. I edited it
a bit, but I feel these are the words I need to share today.

Thank you for reading and your time...

peace, light and love always...

Dreaming in an Autumn Scented Afternoon

 

On a riverbank  she stood many moons ago

firelight danced between towering pines

she heard his soft velvet voice whispering

a language that only she could understand

beyond  a sea of clouds, new horizon awaits

his dark hair glistens in sunbursts of orange

her body becomes flushed with thoughts..

floating weightlessly, poems from her heart

dreaming in an autumn scented afternoon

ripples of water flowing over mossy rocks

red maple leaves carrying secret messages

in a gentle breeze, she feels his warm touch

inhaling and exhaling breathing deep

desire filling her lungs..lost in the moment

branches sway, twigs crack a lush forest bed

curtains of summer close,  fall quietly arrives

distant drums vibrate chanting a warrior's song

two wild spirits dance to the rhythmic beat

red tail hawk glides across pearly blue skies

new harvest ripe filling their endless hunger

hot sparks ignite within smoldering  eyes

following trails of their wandering souls

memories of the journey overwhelming

quivering she embraces a world unknown

streams of their lives merging into one

a river of currents they willingly ride

sharing their innermost thoughts

no words are necessary to understand

Red Garnet Shines

Take me into the mountains

where air is crisp and fresh

where ancestral spirits roam

these sacred lands their home

Let me embark on a journey

where living forests breathes

where mother earth's voice rises

nature revealing hidden surprises

Take me into the  mountains

where gentle deer hearts sprint

where white owl's wisdom is shown

walking paths into dreams unknown

Let me listen with unobstructed ears

where trees whisper, drums beat

where chanting songs are heard

singing verses, repeating words

Take me into the mountains

where mystical powers can heal

where haunting fears are released

dancing blue flames, worries cease

Let me discover true inner peace

where my  heart expresses love

where my inner spirit takes flight

seeing life third eye, full of light

Take me into the mountains

where glistening red garnet shines

where stories & dreams are shared

feeling whole,  my soul is repaired

Let me be entranced by silent beauty

where purifying waters quench thirst

where ancient ones  blessed the land

reborn in skin & flesh I proudly stand

Take me into the mountains....
