she is a fire that lies within
without decency
she simply burns
she consumes and is consumed
this conflagration urges
it runs hot through blood
this longing, yearning
to touch and be touched
to fall into the flames
to be devoured by them
stepping onto the ledge
peering into the abyss of fire
she longs to propel the body
from common ground
to be cleansed by these urgent flames
to be renewed by them

ancient memory
I lost myself yesterday
I was dreaming by the ocean
I was hiding in the jetty
My heart, a kite in the wind
The call of my soul rings high now
howling now like a lonely wolf
she remembers by the moon
her one and only
decorated in flowers of clouds
feet have an energy
roots run deeply from sole to earth
linking child and mother
sharing ancient memory
my heart remembers her home
Alone, not lonely, I wait
for Rumi’s beloved to return
this merging of heaven and earth
of which I am but a sliver
This home is within me
Connection
I am you and you are me
There is no better
There is no worse
Comparisons are illusion
The sun shines upon all who dwell
In this kingdom of consciousness
I have grown old
Died as a days old child
Been slaughtered
And sick
And taken my own life
We share the same thread
The same echoes
The same stories
Enter the dome of record
And all there is or ever will be
Float as starlight within the ether
Hearts connected by divine embrace
Through the network of energy
Signaling and lightening
There is no wrong or right
Just consequence and illusion
Step into the light and feel the truth
Receive
old anger swims within,
storms are raging,
ancient wounds, ripping,
voices of what was,
gnashing,
neck and shoulders
buckling;
sinking now
into the void of shadow,
this small voice cries out
“Breathe deep my love
You will emerge yet”
I find no respite in the dreams
Just now
My heart is bound and stilled
My mind must play catch-up
So I linger here spinning
My face tense
My chest heavy
Triggered guilt
Resides within my breast
Unresolved feelings of lack
Embarrassment
Humiliation
Hatred
Pain
Defeat
Anger
Frustration
Doubt
Fear
Acceptance
Understanding
Forgiveness
Love
Release
I give what I am. Forgiveness lies in the intention
What is humiliation but a fear of judgement
Give up judgement and fear recedes. Forgiveness lies in the receiver
Receive forgiveness and be forgiven
The light is shining now
As the storm subsides
Leaving this heart a little lighter
Wounds healed through the deep
And my balance once again restored
Upon the wind
Long dark corridors
Rooms unlived in and unkempt
Opening doors long forgotten
Autumn’s air releasing
Songs are returning
As energy flows in
Breaking up the blocks
Rebuilding this heart
Silence marks the gravesite
Of what was
Letting go of desire
My hair flows freely upon the wind
this new day
The long night is giving way
And I can see now
The golden hue of morning
Waves lost upon my shore
Remember the salty taste
Of ocean’s breath
And my heart
Reunited with the words
Of my divine mind
Sings hallelujah both softly
And loud
The end of a long road
Has lead this body here
To bask now in the glory
of this new day
New day
The light returns
And the sudden jolt
Of illumination
Startles me
This heart- used to now,
The darkness of delay
And unknown,
Reaches out into possibility
While fear cowers
Having receded into the
Shadows within me
To gather herself-
The silence of waiting
Has given way to thunderous
Claps of movement and
Change
There is nothing left now
But to gather the shattered
Pieces together
And follow the light of
This new day
Healer’s prayer
Accepting this path
Without pressure
Without judgement
Without the need to be perfect
Just here
Shining light
Just here
Minding the flame of
This moment
Just here with fear by my side
Just here with hope standing
Just here now without conditions
Just now, without comparison
May the eternal flame guide my voice
My understanding
And my connection to divine healing
Guide my hands now consciousness
As I fall into your vast immeasurable
Depths with faith
Glowing
I am here
Hopelessly following the signs
Fear clings to my cloak
Like a child to my coattails
My light stands upon
The mountaintops of mine
Brazenly glowing
While the least of me
Hides inside the darkness
Afraid of what she might see
Heavenward I send my breath
And upon angels wings she returns
…I trust my path….
Though fear would have me lost
Inside my mind,
All is as it should be
I will keep glowing
Becoming unbecoming
Fire is rising
Divine appointment
Sheds her fear
As wings open
Spreading flames
Of compassionate
Truth
Undressed in this moment
She takes her place
Within burning sky
To claim space
Becoming
Unbecoming
