sacred journey

celestial light entwines
the sacred intensity of the moon
it’s radiance penetrating the cosmos
transforming the raging fire of the sun

waxing and waning
it journeys thru fullness
while gracefully embracing
the subtle irony of newness

each day brings anticipation
of this iridescent exploration
welcoming the evolution inherent
in this cycle of change

if only

there’s a sadness when new turns to old
when leaves glide from the sky and the air turns cold
dandelions still blossom, their vibrancy too bold
and the graying sky mirrors desires untold

amongst it all new life grows strong
fragileness protected because it doesn’t yet belong
waiting to break free to sing its own song
nudging and prodding, wondering if it will take long

just like the butterfly yearns to be free
to express and experience loves ecstasy
so confusing remains this duplicity
teetering on edge, if only flight could be

soaring

soaring away
from all things tangible
on wings of a bird
we fly together
embraced by beauty
our hearts merge
as we sing forever
love which envelops all
but our eyes will never see

restless nights

i notice the moonlight
shining on my bed
a restless night
thoughts racing thru my head

not worries or fears
just illusions, fantasies, dreams
sometimes close to tears
my spirit worn at the seams

i’m tired
yet my brain so awake
peace, stillness so desired
lullabies for my own sake

please…let me feel the connection
light filling my soul
calming the constant reflections
that i may awaken once again feeling whole
