Tied To You!

The Sunday Muse

Drifting back in time
under a pale yellow sky
once we were tied
to a dream

 you held one end
of the rope and I
the other, trying
to weave our way
together

 a wave of love
that stretched wide
sometimes the billowing
sails were more than
I could handle

barefoot on old
wooden planks
weathering the storms
chasing the blues
riding the tides

navigating my way
to You...

 a star so bright
I had to close my eyes
knowing in my heart
the journey would get rough

sailing endlessly
in a drowning dream

casting out my net into

a mysterious sea

Witnessing the Magnitude

Sleeping on the cusp of a dream
shedding tears over a broken land
it's magnitude is yet to be seen
this darkness, I try to understand

Earth

shedding tears over a broken land
reading signs from all directions
this darkness, I try to understand
stars align, there is a connection

Wind

reading signs from all directions
May sky, offers a flowering moon
stars align, there is a connection
snapdragons and tulips in bloom

Fire

May sky, offers a flowering moon
heart of a rose, cries for healing
snapdragons and tulips in bloom
wounds of the earth are revealing

Air

 heart of a rose , cries for healing
it's magnitude is yet to be seen
wounds of the earth are revealing
sleeping on the cusp of a dream

Planetary Parade

In the predawn sky the moon leads the parade

a spectacular showing of planetary alignment

to the earthly inhabitants a heavenly serenade 

 

Jupiter caught our eyes dancing in the light

swirling in unknown storms so far a way

arranging notes, a celestial anthem this night

                                              

Venus, shower us with passionate songs of love

filling the voids of our hearts with harmony

 stirring the poetic soul, singing to our beloved

 

Mars dressed in your fiery red ensemble

will you lay down your sword for the night

your rocky exterior, causes the heaven to tremble

 

Saturn play me a tune of endless possibility

your diamond rings have no beginning or end

searching for the center of life and eternity

 

If only stargazers could live in unity
let's keep this earthwheel spinning

 

author's note:  There is a planetary parade
happening...I hope you get to take in the
view in the next few weeks

  This is a bit bumpy, but I am posting it
as promised for a friend.

 I know spring has arrived when I hear the tumbling tune of the Red-winged blackbird.  It starts abruptly with one note then turns into a musical trill.  His song amplifies as I approach the lakeside.  My mind wanders, searching for his noticeable markings of red and yellow on his shiny black wings.  There he is perched high on top of a cattail. Swaying in spring's afternoon breeze. 

His striking presence lets it be known that this territory is carefully watched. His natural instinct to impress a mate nearby.  I smile, spring has arrived in bountiful song. Courtship flutters in the warming sun.

o-ka-lee he sings
serenading his lover
promises of spring

Sing To Us

Sing to us mother earth
in the songs of the birds
chirping together in harmony

Sing to us mother earth
in the songs of the oceans
full of rhythm and waves

  Sing to us mother earth
in the songs of the trees
raw and organic in nature

 Sing to us mother earth
in the songs of the mountains
filled with low and high tones

Sing to us mother earth
in the songs of ancient tongues
spirited ballads of yesterday

Sing to us mother earth
in the songs of the heart
beating to the drum of life
