Within

Within

Life projects you forward
Sometimes it may feel like you’re on the top of a roller coaster without a seat belt about to fly out
You may hold onto what you can
Grasp what you can
What feels familiar
What feels safe.
Are you reaching for outside sources?
People, places, things?
Or are you finding it within yourself?
Safety within Spirit
Safety within body
Safety within mind
Safety within heart
Safety within soul
Within
Touching all that is within
Touching the light within
There you will find All
There you will find Love
Love of self
Love of all there is
Within

Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising

My life and soul journey have brought me here,

The stories of the past no longer resonate within my BEing & Soul.

I step into what I always have been, but was shrouded & feared to let show

Beyond the dark shadows that surrounded me like a deep fog within the forest.

I release & let them fall away as burnt embers of the Phoenix.

I rise re~created, connected & aligned with the trueness of my Soul,

All that I aspire to BE

All that I AM.

May You Know

May You Know

May you know the touch of kindness

May you know that truth seeks you

May you know that warmth still can touch you in the deepness of the cave

May you know that the sun shines above the ceiling that is over your head

May you know that you have the power to open the ceiling up

May you know that you are light

May you know that peace is within you

May you know that you are worthy

May you know that you are love

May you know that you ARE LOVED

Corner of the Second Floor Bar

Corner of the Second Floor Bar

It’s been so long since our eyes locked
I’ve been feeling you
Your essence and presence
Showing up in my dreams and visions again
But even my third eye sight didn’t see this…
In the corner of the second floor bar

I wasn’t going to be there
I planned on spending a relaxing day at home
Last minute plans brought me to watch the big game
Was going to be sitting in the corner of King Neptune’s lair
Last minute changes brought me to the corner of the second floor bar
“Serendipitous moments are to come” whispered in my ear as I made my way there

The corner table was empty as the ball started to fly
A work call brought me to the chilly outside patio
Coming back inside I took my seat facing the corner of the second floor bar
Where TVs flashed images of players running and playing their best
I unexpectedly found familiarity facing me
Those big blue eyes and smile I know so well but not yet directed at me

In the familiar there was unfamiliarity and I was unsure that the two were the same
Quickly a game of locking eyes began but acknowledgement still laid to the side
My mind raced, could it be?
Of all the places, in all the moments
In the corner of the second floor bar

A simple wave & smile and I made my way over
You held my hand and kissed my cheek as we briefly said what was new
Mirrored reflections flashing back and forth
Would we be strong enough to see and heal?
Heal all the spoken and unspoken words
A sacred space understanding and vulnerability?

Our conversation over as I was sitting back at my own table
Ten feet was between us
So close but still so far away
A wish for just you & me in the middle of all the others and noise
I screamed to you “I love you can’t you see??!” within my head
The fans screaming at the TVs overpowered my plea.

As you said good bye ~
We’ll be in touch
No timelines, no promises
All in the corner of a second floor bar

You & me
In the corner of a second floor bar

Amber Flame Burning

Amber Flame Burning

I feel my old self burning in the Amber Flame

Melting away parts of old

A newness ready to come alive

I’m ready – the stretching and molding are continuous

But I willingly step into what the Universe is bringing me.

Like clockwork thoughts of you creep up

They don’t ever really seem to go away

But lately, lately there’s been a change in the wind

Free will dancing in the flames

Space and silence still so prevalent

Sometimes it feels as if you’re no longer on this plane

Your voice an inaudible whisper

Your touch a brush of a feather

Long blown away with the change in the seasons

As if you’re a ghost from the past

I see you, I see me, I see us burning in the Amber Flame

Melting away ways of old

A newness I’m not quite sure of

I find myself alone again

Alone in the silence

It’s still here as you left it

The want for a love so deep burns in the Amber Flame

Melting away parts of old

I’m not sure what’s to be made anew

Promises seem to be falling away as are the leaves of Fall

With you or another, I’m opening my heart

To love in the deep fire Amber Flames

A spark in my heart ignites into an Amber Flame

Loud

Loud

Loud

Your silence is still so loud

And I’m still thinking out loud

Three years have ticked by

Some moments louder than others

And I’m starting to question the crystal ball

Visions of true love seen by both our eyes

We know each other’s story and we know each other’s pain

I’m still here and you’re still here

The summer just as cold as the winter

It doesn’t seem to matter how I send my love ~ near or far

Me reaching for you is as empty as the silence you left here

Your silence is still so loud

And I’m still thinking out loud

Three years have ticked by

Some moments louder than others

And I have loved you in every one of them

You say you live your life with passion, integrity and determination

There’s only one exception…

The true love in our hearts and souls

Me reaching for you is as empty as the silence you left here

Your silence is still so loud

And I’m still thinking out loud

Three years have ticked by

Some moments louder than others
