Last line . . . What else can I say, but in your face,
and back again . . .

"to assure you don't circle round
having to learn lessons time and again"

If only we could adhere to this truth also . . .

thank you Jerry smiling at your comment I've circled quite a few times in my life hopefully this time I pay closer attention to those markers :)

thank you lovely Amelia I'm trying to meditate to find some quiet in a noisy mind these place give me peace even when I can't be there in person..

love Crim

Super Zen. I felt calmer after reading it

thank you most kindly I'm glad it gave you a since of calm :)

love Crim

This is a lovely subconscious awakening, Brenda.  
It's being gentle with yourself, tender with the past,
accepting the present. And, as a stroll in the woods
discovering all the beautiful things nature has to offer
in the returning to our organic selves and merging
with our surroundings. xo

thank you dearest Sage one I love the beauty in your insight you always reveal something hidden from me with your comments.. I'm trying lovely lady..

love Brenda

Completely Zen after reading it a second time... The first time my mind went faster than your write..
The truth is that if you replace the verb "walk/walking" with the verb "wank/wanking", it changes a lot, lol (no offence, it was just unconscious and funny, that's why I comment it).

Great job as always :)

lol yes Artemios it certainly does glad this took you to that Zen state the second time around :)

love Crim

Wow!  I absolutely love this poem!  I took that stroll with you and I could actually feel my insides tickle as they relaxed into your beautiful surroundings. Thank you for taking me along.

Who's flying now? ;-)

"die to self and be born anew" > speechless!!!

Such a beautiful and honest poem, one to reread and cherish!

Love, Duende

thank you lovely Duende for such a beautiful comment :)

love Crim

"Zen" does wonders for my peace of mind, and I'll refer to it in times of trouble.  This would be a good one to be read aloud for an AV if you're so inclined Crim.  If not, I'll be content to peruse it with the sound of silence.  Beautiful work from a wise and deeply calm lady.

thank you graciously Sir Crow.. I get shaky reading just for family tripping over my words and the such needless to say my readings need some work.. some day will see :)

love Crim

To see this side of your personne is
so sexy and beautiful,
my gosh ladyloves, many squeezes
and kisses.

I adore this mastering piece.

My Beautiful Brenda....this brought me tears and touches the deepest depths of my soul...you have weathered storms that many shall not encounter and my turbulent waters have also been tread...

to assure you don't circle round <~~ we shall always guide the other sound them
having to learn lessons time and again"

"the tides are gentle now  
easing in and out  
bringing insight and comfort  
let them wash over you cleansing and calming <~~ each of us will always find the other floating to grab hands...

~die to self and be born anew~  Your craft is remarkable . I have read this 6 times. Not to understand it. I fell in love with it.
Trisha

thank you most graciously Trisha for showing love for this write I'm moved greatly..

love Brenda

Lovely imaginative descriptive phrasing. Some of the concepts are not strictly Buddhic, but still filled with serenity and focus. Very very good.

thank you most graciously..

love Crim

This piece is a meditation in itself.  The lavender represents your awakening and spiritual growth from your experiences, the green forest paths, the healing journey.  These paths are a favourite in my own meditations as is the water for cleansing your spirit, letting go of those demons.  This is wonderful.

Love, Belladonna

thank you lovely Belladonna I must confess you enlightened me with your insight on this write.. sometimes I think I am simply a channel in which inspiration flows.. I'm new to meditation though when I think in these places even when my flesh is far away from natures beauty brings my soul peace.. looking forward to journeying the forested paths scattered with lavender with you :)

love Brenda

I was looking to read on the dark side, when I came across your name. To my surprise, I read one of the most spiritual insights to life.  I'm new but your incredible ink has me hooked.  

thank you beautiful poetess while I write dark a lot I surprise myself too with writes like this.. light & dark go hand in hand & reveal themselves as they will.. I look forward to reading you.. love Crim
