Star of the Sea

 Star of the sea you move freely
no cluttered thoughts to anchor
you down

reliant on your feelings
and intuition to guide you
 through the motions of life

experiencing your environment
through different eyes

your outstretched arms creating
poetry each day...through
rhythm and movement

there is strength in the ability
to re-generate healing from the
unexpected upsets in the journey

traveling through time and space
touching everything in your pathway
leaving particles of yourself
 as you slowly disintegrate
into the depth of the sea

Sun, Moon and Earth

  I.

 Sun father of the universe
giver of luxuriant light
warming hearts in poetic verse
sun father of the universe
today, how far must we traverse
to reach the foothills of twilight
sun father of the universe
giver of luxuriant light

II.

Moon mother of the universe
guardian of nocturnal light
smiling after the clouds disperse
moon mother of the universe
hopeful healing rays when life hurts
wings of heavenly dreams take flight
moon mother of the universe
guardian of nocturnal light

III.

Earth the child of the universe
guiding light of the sun and moon
spinning out of control - a curse?
earth the child of the universe
humans the world is getting worse
open your hearts, sing a new tune
earth the child of the universe
guiding light of the sun and moon

Waters of my Soul

The Dream by Lara Zankoul

In a blue room, I dream at two o' two
a swan glides across the waters of my soul
preparing a journey of transition, relaxed
I drift into another realm, with little resistance

diving in the depth of  the dreamscape, 
searching for wisdom and light, traveling
the unknown looking for the lost pages
of the greater story of my life...

where have you gone songs of the past
floating away with the clouds overhead
I once took comfort in your lullabies
but, tonight I hear the ballads of loneliness

spring is nearing and with it transformation
soon the trees will begin budding, flowers will
push up through the soil, nature will begin anew
and I too will breathe in the songs of promise

existence is a continuous series of changes
challenging us to flow with the current
becoming  stronger, ascending on wings
of light, finding the pieces of ourselves
in the night...

embracing wings of grace, taking flight

Farewell

Today, I shed tears of sadness
how to bid you a proper farewell
an actor, a poet, a writer scripting
adventures...

Today, I recall a comment you left me
stating, I was one of your biggest fans
of the "BlackThorne" series. I marveled
at your wordsmithing and quick witted
dialogue between characters

Today, I reflect on how your poetry
had an impact on my journey.  You
spoke your mind and could give one
heck of a passionate rant

Today, I find words hard to find
as tears swell in my eyes.  You made
me see through a different lens at times
Your presence will be missed.  The final
curtain call (insert-soft drumroll)
You will be missed

Never gone - just transformed....

love and peace....

Half-Hearted Mood

Early morning, the half moon illuminates the sky.  Gazing out at the celestial scene, I sigh. In the quiet moment, time seems to stand still, unwavering as the tall pines. The night shifts as the sun rises slowly over the horizon.

I give a half-hearted smile to the tune of the Monday blues.  Waving good-bye to the stars and moon. My dreams are now fragments resting in the darkness.  I pour myself a cup of warm herbal tea.

The day music and poetry
embraced, magic happened
inspiration in the dance
of words and notes

    rhythm, melodies and
    repetition plays with human
    emotions, touching the soul 

        sing me a sonnet, a ballad
        from you heart and I will
        hear a work of art

I think Broken Dreams and Spring

Today, I feel a gentle touch of renewed hope circulating in the air  The noon-day sun is shining and the birds are flying in a cloudless sky.  I hear a cardinal's song in the distance.  It has been too long since I have heard bird songs.  My heart flutters feather light.

Two bald eagles swoop in from the north circling overhead.  They seem to float on wings of grace.  I wonder, are they mates?  Gazing heavenward, they shift direction and soar over the tall pines.  

I think spring, this year's a different thing. I'll not think of you, broken dreams.  Instead, I will plant seeds of possibilities in the days and weeks ahead.  Rejoicing when the tulips and daffodils are in bloom.  Spring will sing a lifting song, thawing winter’s melancholic mood.

Winter Sky - Elusive Wonder

original source unknown

On a bitter-cold winter night
my heart lets out a heavy sigh
a rare green comet takes flight

the heavens have an endless glow
I wish you were here with me
as the arctic winds begin to blow

some stars are worth waiting for....
