time slows down, just like a train
entering the service station, as
light refracts off a mix of glass diamonds…
cut differently all,
as colors bleed through them,
and out the other side,
pouring love into the universe, by design…
we watch
with rapt awe and attention,
as love is transmitted via the chrysalis,
through the atmospheric tension,
and into the hearts of every part of living creation…

I climb
from the sea, a
journey from underneath,
scraping, and crawling
toward my destiny,
I mind
the feelings
from the deep, as
they speak of love,
light, and the twisted return
of all that burns
me
from
beneath…as
spinning becomes relatable,
just like the tree tops
swaying in the winds dismay,
as they play together
in the midst
of all that’s lovingly displayed
for you and me,
on this most gorgeous day…
a dream,
mind conjures, as
intuition blossoms, and
reflects upon
conditioned aspects
of time borrowed…
harsh
as they seem
we grew through
the pain and agony…
trials and tribulations
abound, as we recount
each moment, and, at times, drown
in the feelings
swallowing us whole,
like a magical black hole….
spinning vortex,
light withdrawn,
senses expand, reaching
out for a hand
to hold onto at last…
breathing in life’s energy,
we wrestle with time,
and the nature
of the agonies
written upon
the sands
of our collective destinies…as
light shows back up,
speaking in the language
of love lost, pain healed, and
compassion given out, to all those that shout,
curse at the skies, and wonder why…
as deep inside,
we recognize our face
in the collection of pictures
we see in the mirror
of our humanity,
as we (re)adjust within
and get ready to again begin…
fight, fight,
fight, as the feelings
keep coming up,
a tirade that just won’t stop…
bleeding
from within,
associated
with a long ago, lost grin…
sans
the yellow petals
falling from the sky,
one at a time
making me
second guess, the minds
association
with the feelings
bubbling up, I stop
breathe in the aroma,
natures pandora, scent
from above, below my feet,
feeling beneath,
taking it all in
I almost feel free…
close the eyes,
concentrate
on the arising tide,
detach from them,
one at a time
I remind
myself
of the love
all around,
as I bound, up, and over
all the feelings,
plaguing my dreaming…
lightness of being
is now
what I’m feeling, as
the mind clears
itself of these fantasies,
and I hold
a yellow petal close to me,
and give thanks
for now, I’m truly seeing…

Smolder Now and Forever
gazing,
and praising
the reality
you see,
while
knowing
the broken
bits of ember
are aflame
again…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!
sometimes,
the words just come
forward, flowing
through my heart, and
head, and
onto the page you’ve read
and, at other times,
it’s as if the page
you’ve read,
has never been said…
contemplations like these,
remind me
of the love we feel,
easy, coming, and going,
like the seasons,
as we continue running…
here, and then gone,
a whisper,
soft and kindled
with love and care,
we wonder
where they’ve always been, and
foundered, yes,
at times, still
try as we might,
forcing the issue
will only lead
to more isolation,
frustration,
and eager anticipation…
yet,
when we can
reside in the heart,
and realize the words, and love,
will come in their time,
just like we’ve always
understood they would
we create
a new space,
filled with light,
and faith in growing,
because we’ve been showing
our heart
to the world, and
as we slow down,
and recognize this proof,
we become one
with our hearts inner truth

moments
come and go,
it’s these
we’ve been bestowed
upon a sea
of tranquility,
at times, yes,
past our ability
to understand completely
and, yet,
when quiet, and
seeking
understanding,
we can learn more
from the seas ability
to transcend
our individuality,
into a one commonality
uniting us,
like the flowers,
trees, and the streams,
we dream
of this togetherness,
within our hearts
held tight, as the light
goes out from this planets beings
and, for you and me,
we then see…
possibilities expand
as we let go of our
preconceived notions
of what we think
love should be,
and stay open
to new realities of being,
with a love, so freeing…

I watch,
listen,
and learn more,
as the forest
comes alive, and
the
vibrancy
emanating off
the floor,
speaks to me
in a language
never heard before…
light
dancing
with darkness,
as shadows
glow, and speak
of transcendence
leaves fall,
while I sprawl,
and continue
to listen
to two hearts,
intertwined now,
just like two vines,
dancing forevermore

complicated
memories,
like scenes
in an
uncommon mystery
dejection gives way,
reflection
comes,
and inside
we feel
that glow again, nay
fire,
burning bright,
without naught,
is alright
making sense
becomes
simpler,
holding the promise
of yesteryear
a kiss,
and a wish,
given to you, silently
whilst you slept,
nestled
so lovingly,
without notice
or a commingled
promise kept
two hearts
beat as one,
as light
enters the room,
shattering
the fragments
of loss felt
and, then
there’s
what’s left…
you
and me,
forever true,
as we finally say,
I love you
beauty unseen
in despair,
felt like a lead weight
across my chest,
and inside my heart, blessed
forevermore
is known, yet
time stood still
for a moment, grown
and,
unbeknownst to me
lasting an eternity…
felt
deep inside,
trees look at me, and
shake their limbs, they see
the magic
living inside of
every moment,
even those that feel
so solemn and swollen
with feelings
bound together,
configured
like a mass of pressure
growing
stronger over time,
unable to realize
the thread’s end
lives inside
awaiting a kindness,
often seen in my dreams,
I recollect all those
lost feelings, and
begin to pull the thread
closer to me
and,
as the thread comes forth,
the pressure subsides,
as the tears wash away
the pain of yesterday
so gray, and
at the same time
lighted rays fill my heart
with gratitude,
may I stay?
is a question
needed not,
leave off the clamour,
for its inside this space
where we’ll find the answer
Develop. Inspire. Transform.
