Reflections on the Heron's Passing

I am Free
Many thanks to the one
Who rescued me

No longer trapped
In human webs
Nor influenced by their
Constraints

I soar above you
Though not seen
Connected through
Our Spirits
You and Me

Forever

"Uncomfortabler" Weather

Pouring rain
Hang our heads
As if in shame

Burdened by what we carry
In our arms
And in our brains
“Will I be damp all day?”

Ego takes a hit
Vulnerable humans
Don’t like this

Instead I smile
And realize
It’s only water
And . . .
I
am
W E T

To My QiGong Teacher

Each Tuesday night you lead me
In a Form, I’ll one day teach
Expanding toward the Universe
With open arms I reach

Finding Balance
Integrating
Clearing
Healing
Being
Me

An Invitation to Join the Chaos – Declined

Despite the invitation
So insistently offered to me
I shall decline in joining
In the Chaos Ball

As others spiral
Spin
And “Freak out”
I watch in utter amazement
Standing on the sidelines
Holding a Sacred Place
Waiting for their return

A mighty palm tree
Swaying in the storm
An evergreen pine
Forever green despite the seasons
Rooted firmly to Our Mother Earth

Even then
Some tears must fall
As I remember
“No storm lasts forever,”
and
“This, too shall pass”
Taking care of me
And doing only what is “mine” to do

Gathering
Seeking
Opening
To the light that shines
Toward Me
In Me
Through Me
From Me

Firmly in My Being
Present to the Pain
Without the constant struggle
Of owning it
It belongs to my Loves
I cry and release it back to them

Cycles

It is time to write of cycles
Of births; of deaths –
Reborn
While one of us rejoices
Another one does mourn

We ponder at our reason
Of choosing to be Man
While we support each other
Always hand-in-hand

It is our Unity
Our connection to The Source
The Oness, The Creator
- -
Some call “God”
- -
Others know Him by a different name
Please recognize, we are the same

Love unconditionally
It truly is the only KEY
Holding all that surrounds me
I send my love
To you and you and you and you …

Respite From The Rain

Did you see the Sun today?
I did
That lovely Celestial Being
We take for granted
Until it disappears
Behind clouds and rain
As we beg for its return

I am called to Dance
In its beauty
In its splendor
And absorb the Energy
It offers to me ...
On this fine day

Thank You!

This blog was created by a very dear friend of mine for me to store my poetry. Hopefully in doing so, I will be able to share it with many! She was the driver, while I gave suggestions. She has a basic understanding of HTML -- I know nothing of it. I think it turned out beautifully. How about you?

I look forward to posting my poetry soon.
