Circling the Labyrinth of a Dream

you compass

my nights

oracle of dreams

flying  through

blankets of darkness

under a full moon glow

you breathe

life into

my soul

you dare me

to journey

into the unknown

 

exploring the labyrinth

passageways of my mind

a soft whisper in my ear

ancient  secrets

barefoot I sink into

the soul of the earth

a pilgrimage to the

center of life/ death

and everything in between

 

walking the circle of reality

each step a prayerful song

healing stones in my palms

drifting in the deep end

I see a vision of yesterday

through teary eyes, I focus

on the hopes of tomorrow

riding an emotional tide

remembering the point

of entry where earth

and heaven connect

 

slowly clearing the haze

sprouting golden wings

in the center of now, a

dreamer finds peace and

soars in the winds of

change....

Lady Bug's Hug

They call me a lady of beauty and grace
shiny and red, with seven wondrous spots
native to Europe, my ancestral birthplace
you'll see me more when the weather is hot

farmers prayed for their crops to be saved
a blessing, I ate all their plant eating pests
my hungry appetite is often praised
in fruit orchards, I am a welcomed guest

some call me the lady of luck and fortune
encountering me might make you smile
knowing no limits flying to my own tune
contemplate a wish, might be worthwhile

believe in the power of gratefulness
tranquility on the leaf of happiness

The Language of Braids

The Sunday Muse

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

braids weave the past, present and future

extensions of one's heart, soul and mind

strands woven together creating unity

 

    threads of a dream standing alone are weak

    but, once interwoven with another dreamer

    visions manifest in the tongue of possibilities

 

sweet-grass the sacred mane of mother earth

purifies dark spaces to allow healing to flow

Interlacing harmony, love and respect

mind,  body and spirit working together to bring fullness in life

 

author's note:  This photo reminded me of my grandmother.  She never cut her hair and always wore one or two braids.  As, a child she would braid my hair and share stories. Aging,  she could  no longer braid her own hair. Family members shared the task.  I always felt a sense of peace and unity brushing out her knee length black/gray strands.  While,  I was braiding she would sit quietly and listen as, I told her stories about my days.  There was a sense of honor and wisdom found in braiding.

Grooves in Flight

Mesmerized by your splendor

of grooved feathers

and mottled wings

gliding in lofty

Egyptian blue skies

my heart flutters

in bright sunlight

if only I could fly

I'd wing my way

to your faraway

shores and fervently

nest in the folds

of love's dream

Nature's Arc

Natures Eye 

 

Through nature's arc

today, I think of you 

maybe, in a quiet moment

you will think of me

I may not always have the right words

but, the love is always in view

 

Love's Hesitancy

Sunday Muse Image

hesitant to gaze into your eyes
standing before you unfiltered
in the garden of love's paradise

my  roots have grown deeper
birdsong nesting in my head
does vulnerability make me weaker

feeling the ache of darkness
tempestuous storms bewitched us
beneath skies that were starless

in this moment face to face
will our limbs intertwine
in the heat of warmth embrace

 reaching for you in the night
crows lurk to steal a dream
but, our eyes will usher in light
