Say it
SCREAM IT
Live it
Love it
Own it

I remember being down so low
I thought the winter would'be all I'd ever know,
Then the cold air turned sweet
Beautiful life bursting from the trees
Handsome laughing faces I did meet.
Full of joy I lay to rest
Knowing this day has been truly blessed,
I'll rise tomorrow if it's in my cards
I love it all
I love you all

Over Pass

Ground me to the Earth
Fill my lungs with song
Show me the light around these dark clouds
that hover over my bed.

I must be missing something
I cannot be seeing clearly,
the wild flower
in the meadow feels alone,

The deeper in the forest we go,
Fewer explores there will be.
For the ones who make the trek
what a glorious sight awaiting.

A shift in perspective
is the reunion between
beauty and quest.
Keep the fire going,
burn away the past.

There Here

Peace in the morning
isn't felt in my body
Too much filling
Still not enough emptying

silly boys

The hours swiftly passing by
Like wind blowing from the sky
I am waiting for love in all the right places
So why do I see blank stares on all your faces?
It can be lonely when every night is spent alone
It seems so quiet here with no one on the telephone,
Another day, another night, another glass of wine
Why don't I believe I'll ever find someone to call mine?
Is it me? Is it you? Is it this place in which I live?
How many broken hearts do I really have to give?
I retreat back to silence as I have done before,
I thought you'd like my laughing, but you continue to ignore
The light that shines from my eyes when I speak.
Now that I think about it, a future with you would really look bleak
because I am on the most wonderful quest
one where I'll only be matched with the best
and you are only a filler of space
A million others I could find to replace
YOU!

throw it away

You whisper to me, in the wind I hear your call,
To stand up free and run from it all...
The right way, the traditional way
I will never obey
I am meant to be free against the setting sun
On a ship with the ocean I'll be having so much fun,
Writing wonderful stories at the beach
The sacred Art of Yoga I can teach!
So why not take a chance
on something great,
Take control of myself
and create my own fate
For it is I, I am living for
and not anyone else,
Every option is mine, and I'd like to explore
All that I am, and could be,
I know this life is not really that long
so I must not waste time
Trying to learn the words of some song
When the music's inside me,
the rhythms pulse in my veins
Speak only truth,
Trust Love, the light sustains.

something, somewhere

It's hard to say
which way I'll go
where the wind will blow,
What I know is true
I'll be waiting for you
wherever our paths should meet,
until that moment reveals itself
I'll crawl down every street
to find myself there,
the one I dream of
A love so strange
so alive
so strong
I know that I belong
to the tradition of Truth
and courageous souls
who settle for nothing less.
Every day I go deeper
into the vortex
where the world cannot enter.
I grow beyond sight,
I am sound without might
I exist in the present
without ever knowing why.
I love everything ferociously
with passion unkempt I run
towards all the stars in the sky

this is great

I walk to the gate, let myself in.
I have done this a million times,
I know the way, I know the path.
I sit in the same seat
Read the same magazine,
eat the same food.
I imagine it all the same way.
I take away everything from you,
just to play the part
of the person who I thought
I was playing in this production.
The window was smashed,
the light flooded in
illuminating the vision
with something glowing
A truth that glows bright.
I needed you to hurt me,
I expected the pain
as I walk forward,
I never regret
because I've only gained,
the inward sight
the map to the gold
is in my hands.
I am leading this treasure hunt,
The ship's wheel in my hands,
Full of courage,
the water I sail upon is holy
The eyes I look through are mine.
The breath is endless,
My love is explosive
I am blown into pieces
scattered far and wide
I am everywhere.
I am light.
I am

too much?

What is this sensation,
Indulgence.
In thought, in volume, in hope.
The indulgence pushes from the inside out
Until I feel the bursting of skin.
A jagged tear along my stomach.
Unrequited dreams spill from me,
a steady flow of denial,
of misused time,
wronged love.
Pouring out of my side.
I sit watching,
Exposed, Deflating, Emptying.
I let go all pardons,
I will not be saved by you.
I have never needed the satin.
Lay me down in thorns,
I will not shed a tear.
Not indulging.
Not possible,
I am a velvet rabbit
I am luxury.
I am the most expensive ring,
You can't even afford me.
Keep walking,
keep hoping,
keep laughing.
We are all bought sometime.

Another degree of cool

Alone again
Well not entirely,
my cats are here.
There is movement upstairs.
Birds are flying outside my window.
Life is all around me,
but I am alone
with my books,
my pen,
to put together a conversation.
Between myself, and, and...myself
Shame to not be sharing laughter,
to be warmed by another.
To keep, and be kept.
I've got you Leonard Cohen.
The liquor store down the street.
An early morning, and a full day to meet.
Maybe tomorrow.
Blessed be today.
My ribs ache for closeness,
my eyes search for yours in all others.
Just give me a sign
Let me know my belief is not careless
Show me my heart beating
Show me the fire burning,
the wind blowing
and the water flowing.
Come to me
Love,
come to me soon my love,
I am cold here, alone in my warm bed.
When the paint brush
paints us finally together,
I will be fully present,
Ready,
In effortlessness we will meet,
a place between giving, and receiving,
between stillness and motion.
There I await you.

rain all day

The repetitious nature of observation
is reflected in the mirror as continuous creation,
where moment to moment you see something new.
You feel something new, You are someone new.
You remember a sensation of peace,
so profound, everything becomes a celebration.
Laughter is spontaneous and often,
Compassion is a way of being,
and Surrender means to welcome
the blessed strength of the earth beneath our feet.
The fluidity between Self and Seen
becomes an artery vein pumping life
through the body.
The breath is the ocean of existence
we bathe in at dawn
Worshipping the light of the Sun,
the Moon, and the Stars
like a Forest dwelling creature of magic
I undulate with the ripples of Being.
I am a bottomless well of Power.
Lunar rotations reveal the source of all,
each cycle, each evolution.
Again, again, again, and again.
Love oozing out of the flower petals
Kindness in the air.
The clock is an illusion

public places

A slippery glass
a smash that screams
the hand held tight
what once was real
all that's left
is a broken deal.
The lessons learned
the pain expressed
now its over
and I lay to rest,
alone in a world
of slippery people,
fall away from me
burn down your steeple
I walk over the mess
that is this place
I set sail today
Truth, and nothing less
on the open sea.

No alarms to turn off...

Light shines through the window,
over the bed in which I sleep.
I am safe and warm,
my dreams are now
the pillow's to keep.

I awaken to a new day

Slowly, the layers of rest
are unveiled, revealing life.
Blossoming from an earth
where my spirit roams
through the night,
I witness birth.

sliding glass doors

The clothes are dancing on the line,
the wind airs them out
My thoughts escape me
before I could lock them up,
So much better floating on
then buried down deep
in my heart, where for
lifetimes they could stay.
The mouth of creation
deeply sighs......................
blowing away my doubts,
with peace and love
I watch the wind blow
You are blown away with it.

Effortlessly ...
the full moon in unison with the sea
abides to the universal dance
shortening the distance
between you and me,
somewhere you exist
in the realm of dreams.
my foot steps echo
down the endless corridor
trying to find the opening
pulling fragments of self
back and forth
from all parts of the galaxy
I am spread across.
I see the clouds floating by
Local to no place in particular
and to no one definitely.
I Feel sure I will find you
Who ever,
Where ever,
You may be.
Trusting in the honesty
of the sun rise,
and resting in the peace
of the sun set.

See yourself to the door

Not another minute, your time is up.

All those wasted days of longing,

and the twisted ways of doubt.

I struggled to be free,

I was lost so long at sea

My emotions blown away

into the frenzy of night

far past the horizon is another day

that I believe will bring love.

These eyes are shinning brighter

with a steady focus on breath,

I will not open my eyes

for you again.

You failed to see the light

and tried to deny it.

I am solid

like the statue

made of stone

I am not indestructible

but too much for you to hold.

Leave me to be with the world

all the people looking in

as I look back with wonder.

I exist somewhere else now

Your weak spell I'm no longer under,

you are not welcome here

Revel at some other,

but none will ever

come close

to me.

Irregular heart beat
deep within my chest
I sip on my glass of wine
only hoping for the best
I know this life is moving fast.
I'm the girl with the smile on
Not wanting to come in last,
to be left alone.
By choice I am secluded
far away from here,
I am with the mountains,
Nature takes away my fear
of being anything
other than the vessel I am.
Between the mountains
underneath the sky
laughter and silence
are my comrades.
My body
the machine.
My heart
the jewel.
My spirit
the rain
