Signals of Distress

Survival basic instincts of the human spirit to carry on

ultimately defeating the odds that try to tip the scales

running a race slow and steady we can persevere

vitality found within each beat of a willing heart

in quiet meditation we find our inner strength

visionaries pave the way for those who cannot see

allowing ourselves to dream of a better world

love and compassion hold the key to survival

Polaris Guides Us Home

our story written in the stars
verses appear from here to Mars
heaven shines with radiant light
heartfelt poetry in the night, true love is ours

finding our way Polaris guides
healing waters found in moon tides
crystalline children of the world
uplifting songs our wings unfurled, soaring hillsides

dropping our cloaks in dreamy skies
connecting energy we rise
crossing the bridge traveling home
lonely days we no longer roam, smiles replace cries

River of my Soul

Embarking on a soul journey

paddling my canoe down river

to a place I have seen before

carrying a bow and quivers

I have sojourned  these waters

in my endless dreams...

Tis here the honey colored moon

plants kisses on tall green pines

as the sun gently bids goodnight

searching for you, exploring signs

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

Following a shooting star

light shining across a night sky

drifting into the depth of my soul

I have stood on mossy riverbanks

the water lilies and I have grieved

in patience and stillness waited

with each drumbeat, I believed

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

Slicing through mighty rapids

riding currents, paddles ready

red tail hawk, flies overhead

calming my heart,  be steady

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

Following a shooting star

light shining across a night sky

drifting into the depth of my soul

Brother bear dances for me

to the  shaman healing song

as I float with red salmon

mystic haze, trees march along

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dreams...

leave your moccasins behind

come run barefoot with me

marking trails, leaving imprints

for seven generations to see

I have sojourned these waters

in my endless dream...

following a shooting star

light shining across a night sky

drifting into the depth of my soul

Trust Fall

My  heart follows the  mountain  call 
 ancestors  speak on wooded land 
chanting hymns of praise ~ trust fall 

drums echo opening  a  portal wall 
 in the midst of autumn trees,  I stand
my hearts follows the mountain call

reflections of light in a crystal ball
 offering  you the palm of my  hand
chanting hymns of  praise ~  trust fall

memories of you, I  fondly  recall
sifting through matter, cosmic sand
my heart follows the mountain call

spiritual healing extends to all

my consciousness I wish to expand
chanting hymns of praise ~  trust fall

dream catchers,  standing tall
songs of a willow, I understand
my heart follows the mountain call
chanting hymns of praise ~ trust fall

under an orange & yellow canopy
mother earth catches me
