Be the lighthouse

Be the lighthouse

Dark heavy energy
Finds peace within me
I embrace it and challenge it
I swallow it in one breath
And release it as light in the next
I am a converter
I lighthouse of change and compassion
I am a guide and a host
I am the beginning and end
I swallow shadows
And release light
I embrace fear with love
And free it from its own bindings
Until balance returns

Be the lighthouse
Transmute fear into light
And heaviness into joy
Eat darkness so you may become
A beacon of shining hope
Peace is found in the wisdom of balance
Return your being to the eternity of the NOW
And there you will find me
Cultivating energy and holding Space
As light-workers embrace their soul’s call
To freedom

Embracing change

My heart bleeds
And yet my blood runs still
These pink and red tears
Unreserved

There’s a hole
That has no bottom
At least that I have
Found yet

And this fear of falling
Though through the air I slide
This mind likes to pretend
It has control

I am not lost
My course has no way
Free falling, flying, sliding
Embracing change

Unraveling of truth

· Leave a comment ·

Thoughts are lost, swept up
In the winds of time
I cannot hold what was
Everything just keeps turning
Without clarity, my heart
Sits and weeps
Without balance
She is blind
Storms have blown in now
As fate knocks down doors
Mine is still intact for now
But I can hear the pressure
It’s building from the outside
No where left to stowaway
My resolve strengthens,
As fear prepares for influxing
Energy-
Lost! My child is crying-
But what lingers outside my door?
What is clamoring to enter?
I am nothing
But I cannot reach that empty space
With this turning mind
So I will wait for the inevitable
Unraveling of truth

Blossoming

· Leave a comment ·

I am enough
I stretch and reach to find the light
Within my darkness
My growth is emerging
As the sun’s warmth covers my
Blossoms in golden energy
And this is how it should be
Reaching deep within my soil
My soul leaves the cool embrace
Of what was
So that I may unfold into what
Is yet to be
Each layer a blessing
Each painful growth a new beginning
And soon, as my season nears completion
My journey will take yet another road
And the earth will feed upon my petals
And what is essentially me will return
To my true home to rest

darkness and storms

This insufferable lack of ease
Spinning in my mind
And over my face; jaw locked tight
Anger just below ready to ignite
All masking this despair I feel
This darkness of inadequacy
This hatred of self
My body sits so tightly
Expecting attack
Ready to advance upon my own heart
What can be done in the face of such energy?
Yet still, I wait for the storms to pass
I linger with the ever explosive-
Inside the darkness I am quietly waiting
For the sun to shine
So I can bury my dead and heal my injured
And smile once again

Dissolve away

· Leave a comment ·

This body is sick with fear
And covered in anger
Red glowing embers reach into nostril
Choking down thought and throat
I am captive of it
Their rebellion of body and emotion
My teeth grind
I sit here and watch the horror
Of green and red explosions
They even took hold in my back
Setting camp by a shoulder blade
Such destruction they lay-
I remember to relax my grinding teeth
And tell myself it’s okay
All things dissipate in time
So I will not fight the pain, the dissension
With more pain and control
But rather I will look upon this body with love
And wait for the tantrum to lose strength
And dissolve away

in the shadows

· Leave a comment ·

in the shadows of this thing
my heart sits still
beating, waiting, watching
singing through the waves
that flow now
fear, anger, pain, doubt
vibrations of love, embracing them all
soothing the sore and troubled spots
until my voice gives way to light
and I can speak again
in the shadows of this being
this uncontrollable urge and shift
my mind waits, covered in compassion
and faith in understanding
and in the shadows of this time
my spirit has found wings
bright, lithe and full of new hope
the coming of change rings upon
soft bells of wondering
and all that we have come to know
torn down by what simply IS

Tea

· Leave a comment ·

Fear and anger knocked at my door
I wanted to run and hide
Bolt the locks and pretend I wasn’t home
But i let them in
And poured some tea
The tales they wept
They spun such misery,
Hovering around my table,
And I was overcome by fear-
She was green and smelled of bile
Gagging, I listened to her
Anger surged at my restraint
And tried to burn me
Still I sat, spellbound and torn
Until all that was left was silence-
And they retreated back outside

I dreamt of her again, my old friend
she was like she had always been
careful, mysterious
she comes to me sometimes from beyond
never with a thing to say
but always with intent
I am searching now for answers
that line her quiet mouth
her curly hair
all is changing, lost now upon the
rocks of time
we flow into an unknown
and she, with me, in dream
showing me how lost I have become
how lonesome this path
and how far i have walked
the veils are lifting yet more
opening doors into the darkness of soul
I remain captive yet, inside this mind
waiting for truth to be revealed

Timelessness of being

· Leave a comment ·

memories are echoes that live
inside the mind
poking and prodding at the present
needy and selfish…
my dreams swim within the vast sea
of time; past present and future
bits of one tune, sung over and over
until my heart finally hears its entirety-
I’ve looked for you, for so long now
my dearest beloved self
my dearest and closest lover
i hold my breath and swim for hours on end
hoping to catch a glimpse of your beauty
to touch your vibration
and merge with it
yet, trapped still, within this form
within this construct of the now
i am forced to sit and find peace instead
perhaps when i awaken from this dream
my heart will understand
that you’ve been here, all along
memory and echo hold no sway
within the timelessness of being
