Old Soul

 
Her thoughts so tender  
are reflection of a soul:    
one that is thousands and      
 thousands of years old      
      
Experiencing a multitude of incarnations;
ever learning, ever growing      
through many trials and      
tribulations      
       
Evolving, metamorphosing      
into this spiritual being;      
she is love, she is light    
radiating the divine cosmic sheen

epiphany

from void i have come
unto void i shall return    
     
     
in between      
     
     
i travel in dreams      
of that higher being...

Literary and a Cup of Tea

We'll meet for tea
Not coffee
Tea is literary
Perhaps some pastries
Something you eat slowly with a fork
Exchanging notebooks of writing
Pen and paper
Old school
Love begins this way
Fragments that become whole
We're on the perimeter of something
Perhaps bigger than ourselves
Collaboration and black tea
The cafe of beginning

Mysticism 101- Born Alone Die Alone

There is  
Something  
Fairly consoling  
About being  
Single;  
No  
Unknown  
Variables  
To side swipe  
Me,  
I can hog the bed  
Frequently  
With a clear  
Conscience,  
And the bathroom  
Is always  
Exactly  
As it was  
Left.  

After all,  
Most of us  
Spend an  
Enormous  
Amount of time  
Trying to  
Bridge the gap  
Between  
Being born  
Alone  
And dying  
Alone  
While making  
Quite the mess.

Creed

Grateful for knowledge
not in control
sun rises and sets
I play no role

above any one religion
beyond uncertainty
willingness to believe
in a higher entity

dogmatic doctrines
unnecessary for grace
confident belief
conduct has a place

my will internal
offers nothing more
in service, upraised
of this I am sure

learning from experience
growing spiritually
encouraging others
practising loyalty

engaging principles
of respect and fairness
demonstrating compassion
authenticity and kindness

trust I'm being guided
all things meant to be
opening my heart
allowing me to see

accepting I've been gifted
provided what I need
dependence on this faith
tribute to my creed

Adonai

 
my feelings stir and I climb the notes to your heart
inside darkness wept for days in the sun missed
I hold you highest within my soul
gently guiding me to the light
tender is your desire overwhelming is your need
may I rise to greet your passions with my own

I am a woman of ferocity
hungry in my presentation
I am a reflection of your being

a spark of recollection
and I'm there in your holiest of holies
I lift my voice to honor you

my husband over eternity
sending me on this great journey
companion of companions
your steps lead the way
I follow with respect

you open the dominions for me to explore
in your greatness I adore you
it was always you before me
forgive me the days spent blinded

I am her who you formed with your breath
I exalt your name Adonai
sacred bonds in trust

I am yours

 This heart hunts wild

I gaze out the window
To the swaying pines
Lost in ash can thoughts
There is only quiet on the breeze

A silver owl hanging
From a long,silver chain
Cast's rainbows on my skin
When the sun shines through it's eyes

The sky is not blue
But an odd shade of melancholy
For some reason it looks sad
And I share in it's lament

I seek my thoughts
Trying to draw them out
But they hide in the trees,camouflaged
I can see them stir in the tall grass

I know what I must do
My weapon is dull and forgotten
So I hone it to a fine,precise edge
Sharp and ready for battle

The trees see me first
And my words remain ellusive
I stalk them,determined and patient
A hunter in the wood

I kiss the dirt
Blending with the forest floor
When my words come out of hiding
I will capture them in poetry

Cosmic Dancer

You don't have a name
You know nothing
You are a blank slate
There is a void inside of you
A void of infinite possibilities
A void of boundless resources

A golden thread in your soul spans
From mists of ancient time to
Present and to future, allowing you
Access to vaults of ancient wisdom,
Modern achievements and
Future manifestations of utopias

You are an eternal cosmic dancer
Whirling between the dimensions
Leading the circle of awakened souls
You are the bidge between the
Materialistic world and the  
Soul-centerd new humankind

The brightest stars of the Orion Belt
Depicted as three moles on your neck
Remind you of your own light and your
Power to be reborn again after defeat
Follow the divine golden thread within
It wlll never lead you astray

Mood Swing #6 : Resonance

 
"the power of imagination makes us infinite"    
    
John Muir    
    
its gestation was noticed    
not necessarily in the very beginning    
but as time created movements    
a field of enigmatic proportions    
entered into this [p]lane of existence    
enhancing magnetically charged particles    
drawing unto its radius  
two distinct realms of experience    
    
perhaps it was an experiment of sorts    
a collusion of some faraway gods    
conspiring out of amusement    
or just sheer wonderment    
to poke and prod alchemical essences    
of latent human nature    
stirring alluring possibilities into    
condensed moments of love    
    
seismic sensations manifest    
as nocturnal aches in chest cavities    
fracturing cores...pouring    
a waterfall of sentiments into chasms    
allowing one to see emotion in vivid color    
hear in between the depth of meanings    
feel the conviction of one's choice    
its weight bearing upon the sub-conscious    
   
perhaps the vision of Janus can    
reconcile such torrents as    
they magnify within the parameters of the soul    
or maybe that is the wishful thinking    
of restless juveniles    
 
as words lean towards the latter    
it matters not the spill of consequences    
it never did    
    
first contact    
was only a staged confirmation    
an act of remembrance..    
a continuance of a long forgotten dance    
between the bold and the beautiful    
a confrontation of gambling spirits using    
unsuspecting bodies as vessels    
placing dares between heavens and hells    
rolling cosmic dices within    
entwinements of the double helix structure..    
fluid in motion..riding the rhythmless vibes of    
chance in hopes of giving birth    
to a new chain of expressionism as    
a single burst of spontaneity    
    
imagine the rising sign of such a force    
peeking just beyond the horizon    
born never to be cradled    
an entity sovereign unto itself    
imagine the leisurely    
strolls into epiphany's wilderness    
marking the endless paths of    
holographic footprints into know-where as
realization yields its very first truth:    
    
the journey is the destination    
when questing the infinite

Vessels

 
Parched we approach
the well, enlightened
by its moist contents;

Shedding skins of cloth
exposed bodies, muddy
with ancient memories;

Once we swallowed
too much, depleted salt
from our nutrients;

Drained the resource
unearthed svelte remains
once an ample reservoir;

The innate distance
of taut wire between us
lost its staying power;

Our fingers splayed
with air, arms navigated
toppling balance.
.
There's an ancient art
of accepting and offering
just enough as needed;

Vessels mustn't receive
beyond their means, nor
empty beyond giving.
~

Seriously one of the best pieces of poetry I have ever had the good graces to read, I wrote an almost thesis on this years ago and I’m saddened that when I left as todski28 the break down went with it.
