Wishing on the moon

to turn the tides

Waking to a dream

that fades away

Ancient songs

calling the soul

home…

dreaming~

Ancient roads

calling me

home…

old friends

new friends

embracing

change

longing for

my tribe,

back in

their arms.

lessons learned

insights gained

adventures had

stories to tell~

picking up

my pen

again

the adventures

never end

traveling…

 

two doors

not the

same

memories

turning

corners

A Journey

begins

does it

ever end?

spirits float

like stardust

firefly’s

lighting

the way

let’s be franc

find your

shamrock~

Aye,

I will…

I will be on a journey.

I will be writing~

My next post will be on 7/31/22

Slainte…

Adieu

for now…

At  17 I took the oath.

I would kill and die

for the Stars and Stripes…

I got an education

Became an educator

raised my children

believing still in the Stars and Stripes.

What it represented

What it waved for…

In my lifetime I watched

the fight for equality grow,

expand and crumble before

my eyes.

For gender, race, religion and

love…

I watched a man die by a knee~

I heard about a woman killed

in her bed~

Innocents slaughtered by

weapons of war~

E.R.A. rotting away.

Crimes of hate

and then

Roe v. Wade.

Disbelief

Shock

Grief

I Weep

for never again can I believe

in the promise that was

a lie…

While we WERE sleeping

the belief died..

.

Rainbows flow

rain goes

days blend

night reigns

sunrise begin

again

journey’s

of memories

journey’s

to come

days of

pain

days of

joy

time churns

body yearns

growing older

growing bolder

roads taken

paths waiting…

Sometimes

letting go

is the

greatest

gift~

Sometimes

holding on

takes the

greatest

strength~

Doing both

takes the

greatest

spirit~

Rise

Shine

Repeat…

Sometimes~

My soul

dances

in the

light

through the

night.

My spirit

seeks

the secret

places~

spaces~

to dream

to create

to heal

follow the

rabbit

through

the hole

who knows

perhaps you

come back

whole~

Changing within

changing without

always changing

always phasing

changing faces

changing places

keep dreaming

keep creating

keep seeking

keep healing

find the

light

through

the night…

let your

Soul

keep

dancing~

Listen to the rain

as it plays

Living each day

watching the

rise

and the

set

the phases

remembering

the memories

laughter

and

tears

knowing

we are

stardust

in the end…

Heart racing

head spacing

reaching for

the moon

falling into

the sun

A new

day begun

Burnt beginnings

coming undone

Courage Won

finding one

slate stones

cobbled roads

writing down

the bones

hanging on

to stars

floating past

as the

moon dreams…

Shrouded in the mist

visions of a future

flashbacks of a past

holding onto dreams

breathing them into life

taking the road

to freedom

walking towards

the truth…

however long

however hard

Alea lacta est

crossing the rubicon

no matter

the cost

gathering roses

along the way…
