What Comes Next

Tell me, what comes next in the year of vision
in a stormy twilight, where have dreams gone
the earth cries, open your ears and listen
tell me, what come next in the year of vision
the spring of 20/20 , all the world mourned
tell me, what comes next in the year of vision
in a stormy twilight, where have dreams gone

world. So much pain and despair.  I wonder
when will we truly see, change is needed.

I continue to focus on the light for guidance

I See A Distant Future

"A distant future" photography by Raluca Caragea

I see a distant future

somewhere beyond the

looking glass where

we can remove our

human made masks

and breathe in fresh

air with a new sense

of urgency to live each

day in the beauty of now

I see a distant future

a landscape of inner change

in the heart of each  being

stands a solitary shepherd

rooted deep into the earth

a symbol of strength to endure

the hardships of life

I see a distant future

where out stretched limbs

wait to embrace the connectivity

of the human spirit and nature

bridging the gap of uncertainty

we can create positive energy

and experience true magic in the

quest for a higher understanding

I see a distant future

that will lead us to the tree of truth

if only we would open our eyes

and see the clues, follow the

path of white petals and you

will find a place of inner peace

and in this space you will find

love to be the greatest gift

Thank you for reading the

wanderings of my mind

   I see visions of a world

that needs healing and hope

Author's Note:

My challenge to you today

is to look at a tree and let

it speak to you.  What do

you see? How does it make

you feel?  Can you weather the

storms of life? Are you rooted

to the spiritual and earthly 

elements of  life? 

Tell me what type of tree

would you be?

I will forever be a Weeping Willow

peace, health and love to all

 

Rockin' View - A Breakthrough

My Creation

Walking along broken cliff ledges
pondering each step jagged edges
remembering the people of the stones
  waves breaking below,  the ocean moans

comparing the words stone and rock
contemplating the intriguing paradox
wisdom echoes in the cove of my mind
stones have spirits, look and you will find

I recall a heart shaped stone, with a face
smiling at me, in cupped hands, I embraced
stones have spirits, mystics can sense them
hidden in time, unearthing one a rare gem

Peering  over the cliff,  stones softly sing to me
gathering them one by one, discovering the key
tuning into their  vibration, I choose carefully
vision forms, ancient relics, seeing with clarity

Nestled in hues of marbled gray, on solid rock
primitive spirit  arises, gateway is unlocked
gazing in amazement,  at my wondrous creation
listening to a melody,  I find inspiration

Leaping Ring of Fire

wikimedia

velvet sky,  glistening silver moonlight

white sails dancing, gentle sea breeze

whispering  haunting tales, dreams ignite

captain charting new course with ease

Truedessa slips her arms around him

eyeing the map and compass at hand

hot yellow-orange candlelight dims

flickering visions, drifting desert sand

cat lost , giant pyramids take form

mystical gathering deity of the moon

flashing bright,  rapid meteor storm

warning signs of what will appear soon

mystic sky small opening, blinding light

cats eyes full of wonder gently rising

Truedessa grabs his tail taking flight

Captain Pat latches on not surprising

floating upward what will be their plight

gateway , entering the shadow land

darkness surrounds, ship out of sight

BOOM , Bang, clash,  craSH
  CRACK.. Zip...Zap

lost, utterly confused struggling to stand

Truedessa crying,  crazy cat missing

captain surveying, devising a plan

distant noise,  disgruntled cat  hissing

traveling by foot stumbling upon a man

riding a camel, captain makes a deal

trading a rare jewel for a helping hand

rescuing the cat, they may have to steal

Truedessa following distant hissing sound

up ahead huge ancient golden pyramid

sudden fear, we should circle around

atmosphere hazy,  growing humid
  sticky air
   scorching heat
     rapid..heartbeat..

quietly dismounting sneaking a peek

sacrificial offering,hypnotized jeweled cat

trembling earth shakes,Truedessa shrieks

sandstorm blowing, guards falling splat

 

captain draws his iron sword & attacks

Truedessa, conjuring spirits ancient ones

ghostly figures covering their backs

grabbing the cat, distant portal, RUN
 RUN, FASTER, FASTER...

leaping head first, huge ring of fire

frantic spinning, trying to get a grip

dizziness, not sure what transpired

candlelight flickers back on the ship

snuffing red flame, slipping into bed

Captain & Truedessa blanket of night

bora bora shores flashing in their heads

cat resting at their feet , twinkling light

illusion...could it be... jewel collar glowing bright

Two light hearted fools bid you good-night...
