Moonrise…

I am not holding

on to the dead

I am grasping hope

for the living

Tick Tock

watched clock

The moon dances

the soul chances

Dream the DREAM

Light the candles

as it seems

so it goes

find your joy

find your flow

Go…

Gardenias…

I remember the ladies

the grandmothers, mothers

and daughters

By birth

By love

A thousand years

of memories

A journey to

each one

For the tears

For the strength

For the tenacity

Sacred flower

for a beloved

woman,

Grandmother

you will always

walk with me…

The What if’s…

The what’s

could

would

should

The why’s

bother

try

not

The when’s

its time

its meant

its past

There where’s

there

beyond

behind

The how’s

who knows

who cares

been there

The who’s

me

you

us

In the

end,

best guess…

begin

again

end

again

repeat

again

and

again…

Now~

I really don’t know

what I know

what I don’t

things I’ve missed

things I’ve lost

imaginings

truths

victories

failures

stepped in

the shit

again…

Finding hope

within

‘without

no ending

no beginning

NOW

just

WON…

Letting go…

Letting go

of old ways

delays

decay

Sweeping out

the dust

the webs

the broken

Putting together

the pieces

a mosaic

of a lifetime

of living

the shards

the slivers

the splinters

Finding

a rainbow

a delightful

work of art…

Within, Without

Tears shed

within without

Pain flares

within without

A small voice

whispers

within without

Questioning

within without

Struggling

within without

Laughter

within without

Friendship

within without

Loving

within without

Living…

Forever more…

I see clearly now

through years

of tears

false loves

false friends

wondering why

I did not see

Why did I

bury me

Phoenix rising

over and over

again and again

I gave love

they took

they gave hate

I took

I take no more

of less…

Ever again

moonlights my path

I see clearly now…

Forever more~

A Moment in Time~

Yellow wings

flew past

my eyes

I watched

in wonder

as the

butterfly danced~

A gift,

I thought

as I watched

the magic

before me

Sweet creature

flew too close

caught in the

draft

knocked around

dead

on the ground…

Tears came

I cannot lie

it hurt

my soul

to watch

a creature

of beauty

die~

Reminds me

we only live

on borrowed

time…

live

laugh

love,

Now…

Life is just

a moment in time~

So it goes…

Fear recedes

like the tides

Its a flow

it never goes

Dreams are

birthed

some grow

some die

Its a flow

it never goes

Life is long

life is short

some grow

some die

its a flow

it never goes

Each breath

a sacred gift~

so it goes…

Moonbeams~

Moonbeams

and dreams

Sailing on

a soul journey…

Sacred space

Sacred place

floating

swimming

dreaming…

Memories lost

memories found

making new~

lessons learned

knowledge earned

heartbreaks

and joy~

at every day break

riding the

moonbeams

towards the

fate we make…
