Beauty will Flow

You are...
greatness in the shape
of human form.

 

Express
and reflect,
create and grow. 

 

Life Force energy
runs through
your veins. 

 

Breathe deep
and release
and beauty will flow.

Beauty is Found

 

 

When the beauty
of the Earth
moves me to tears, 

no worry can touch me,
no darkness,
no fears.

 

The crashing of waves,
the soft morning breeze,
the kiss of the sun, the flight of a swallow, 

this life is a gift,
all its joy and
its sorrow.

 

For Beauty is found 
in sunshine
and rain. 

Through mountains
and valleys
Her love will remain.

Whisper to the Wind

 

The feeling
I miss
is the brush of
your kiss,

 

your breath
on the air
as you play
with my hair,
 

your soft,
tender touch,
how I love
it so much.
 

I breathe deep
and sigh
as my spirit
soars high.
 

You're gentle
and strong.
With you
I belong.

Call of the Wild

 Bare feet on wet,
mossy ground,
rain dripping down
on sparkling leaves,
moonlight shining
through the trees,
reflecting off silver water,
drawing me in.

 A hooting owl,
the cry of a bird,
a wild, undefined call,
reverberating
deep within.
We are one
and the same,
I am called home.

Call of the ancestors,
called to the past,
to a place and time,
ancient but known,
a deep forest with trees 
that tower and shelter,
hold secrets and share
whispers on the wind.

The trickling
sound of water,
soft moss underfoot,
a night under
the stars,
a soft breeze 
through my hair.
 I am home.

Through It All

 

 Storms rage
and kingdoms fall.
But you'll keep shining
through it all.

 

Hold your space,
be true to you,
let love and kindness
guide you through.

 

The storms will pass.
Love will not fail.
What's true remains,
Light will prevail.

The Shape of You

 

I see your colours,
your shades of green,
my eyes drink them in,
my heart feels serene.

You hold your space,
roots in the ground,
your presence felt,
here, strength is found.

The stories you'd tell 
of the storms you've withstood,
the seasons you've lived,
you'd share if you could.

 Though different bodies,
we breathe the same air.
Our lives entwined
in the space we share.

The shape of you,
the curve of your spine,
your beauty beheld,
touch of the Divine.

 

A Million Lights

 Though darkness moves in swift,
and leaves you filled with fear,
the Light will still prevail,
I promise you, my dear: 

 

Of stardust you are made
to shine into the night.
A million suns are burning,
each one a golden light. 

 

Remember this, beloved,
that you are not alone.
When the night is cold
and chills you to the bone. 

 

A million lights are shining,
there's goodness deep within.
we all can reflect beauty
no matter where we've been.

 

So keep seeking the light 
when you feel cold and small,
remember that our glow reflected
will outshine it all.

The Happy Fool

'Why aren't you upset,
why aren't you distraught?
You bury your head
in the sand', they say.

 They look at me,
they see a fool
who whistles and dances
and loves to play.

 

I dance in the sunlight
and spin in the rain.
But I see the anger,
and feel the pain.

 

If I choose to 
not be found
on the bitter, fear-filled
merry-go-round, 

 

the cycles of hurt,
the weight of shame,
the endless guilt
for who's to blame, 

 

but instead, seek beauty,
magic and love,
to find the light,
and look above, 

 

to know the sun's shining
above the cloud
and that kind words
don't need to be loud, 

 

then I may be
a fool to you.
But I will tell you,
this is true: 

 

I'll love this life,
and all it's splendour,
a happy fool
with child-like wonder.

 

 

The River

By a brook,

a running stream

I walked as in

a waking dream.

Beauty reflected,
the waters ran clear,
here, I felt safe
with nothing to fear.

 The clean, flowing river,
the blood of the earth,
the cycle of life,
from death to birth,

 from where it comes
to where it goes,
from many streams
the river flows.

But then storms came
with ruin and pain,
I saw their mark
in the water's stain.

The dark, murky water
flowed out to the sea,
brown, dirty sludge
was all I could see.

I began to despair,
perspective was lost,
destruction prevailed
at beauty's cost.

I climbed a hill
and took a deep breath,
from high above,
looked down at the earth:

I saw the river
flow into the sea
and hope began
to grow within me. 

Tainted water was
cleaned and purged,
the sea held the river
as it merged. 

Life would flourish
where it began,
the river would once
flow clear again.

 

 

Remember

 

 

In times when I am filled with fear,

In times when doubt and anxiety
cloud my mind, remember.

Remember the bird's eye view.

Remember the sun behind the clouds.

Remember the ancient rhythms of the moon.

In their gaze and 

in their strength
I am held.
