What's in a Name

Pic - Truedessa's Collection

saying  names as the drum beats

enter the circle where you belong

here creator hears your song

whispering names, speak from your heart

stirring your  soul with deep emotion

here a cerulean sky, voice of devotion

from your tongue a host of places

rolling hills, lush green countryside

here in  paradise,  nature your guide

once  the rhythm is steady & strong

offer the names of those you love

here they will fly on wings of a dove

carrying  a message into the heavens

names of the ancestors dance in the sky

here in this world stand you and I

saying names as the drum beats

enter the circle where you belong

here creator hears your song

 Mid-Week Motif : Saying the Names With Love

Whimsical Dreams

In a bed of dreams a garden nymph sleeps
visions of romantic love fills her head
here all is magical, his songs she keeps
sound of a lute, poetic words unsaid
awakening with the moon overhead
remembering the gardener's soft touch
tis a mortal, she loves him too much

Finding Rhythm on Rockin' Waters

pic credit - Truedessa's collection

Sometimes in life we skin our knees

  on jagged  rocks in the journey

    making our way to healing waters

Rocks of various colors and shapes

    the very bones of mother earth

      each joint holding us together

Tranquility as blue water waves

  hello, come rest your weary soles

     let your thoughts flow freely

Wash away yesterday's sorrow

   off a rocky coastline a ship

     of dreams billowing sails

Chatty seagulls tell a story

  dolphins splash offering a song

     healing body, mind and spirit

Once again finding rhythm

   with each breath of salted air

     standing on solid rock

Traveling Vessel

my spirit awakens to  your  touch

  pressing  your lips to my mouth

    I begin to sing in a new tongue

open your ears and you will hear

   songs from the heart of the jungle

    whistling - through the mountain air

ancient vessel , come travel with me

   layered in clay from the earth

    carvings from an artisan hand

you breathe new life into me

 awakening harmonic chambers

  rising to a new consciousness

your fingers play upon my body
 your lungs filling my spirit
   I feel alive with each note

frequency of love circulates 
  releasing pent up energy
   we explode in the magic

My philosophy of dreams

I believe in dreams do you

when I am sleeping

my vision is vivid

I believe dreams

hold the keys to life

found in REM moments

which door will you open

I believe dreams

open the flood gates

swimming  in  the spiritual realm

I believe dreams

allow me to fly in a satin sky

with the constellations my guide

which journey would you choose

I believe dreams

ignite the chambers of my mind

thinking outside the box

I believe dreams

allow my heart to beat faster

breathing in new life

which storyteller would you call upon

I believe dreams

stir a potpourri of energy

creating  a world of magic

my vision is vivid

when I am sleeping

I believe in dreams do you
