Where Nothing Meets Everything

Recalling moments
here in the stillness so deeply indigo
In the calm nothingness of everything I have known
and all I shall never
know

In the dusty pink morn
I hear the day wake
as I retreat to the places inside
myself
No where else to go
but inside my own shades
and my own hues

The blends and meanderings of all
of me
show themselves in raw form now
in the stillness
where nothing meets everything

Pastels...pale
Ruddy reds and blues bejeweled stirred
from the depths
of my soul of the sea
as blue

I have painted a masterpiece
here in the stillness
No where else to go
but to my palette and brush
Silence my model... naked on the stool
posed perfectly...peacefully, seducing my thoughts
Guiding my hand across the
canvas of my white hot crystallized consciousness

Nothing meets everything tonight
in this sweeping seductive stillness
of my magentaed mind

Pieces of my Soul

Carry my soul with you 

in little pieces

When you need them

take them out and

let yourself feel my love

Hold them in my your pocket

and in your hand

Keep them safely tucked inside your heart.....

there when you need them

always

We shared the gift of time

in the close moments

and the distance

It is all the same in the 

pieces of my soul

Carry my soul with you 

in little pieces

When you need them

take them out and

let yourself feel my love

Fairy Tale Tears

Faeries dance across the midnight sky

She sees the purple spark of them in the periphery of her eyes

Her heart dance has dulled somehow

Where is the spark when she gazes at him now

Sparks of green and gold escape their grasp

They lit her life for so long...she believed they would last

She yearned for the touch he gave so easily at the innocent start

Now at the painful end she shall miss the beat of his savage heart

The faeries do not dance tonight

Magic comes and as quickly is gone....as it disappears

We become you and me...no more us...just fairy tale tears

The prince does not stay after waking the slumbered princess

 In her salty sadness she calls to him...as he is taken away in the process

Innocence lost.....burned up in the beauty of a moment fleeting

The prince now busy slaying his deep demons as they fall around him..bleeding

Led to the rescue.....deep into the fires raging...the flames leaping

There was no assurance of happily ever after...there were no promises for the keeping

As he rides away on his mount...dressed in royal garb celebrated

She stares into the space his absence has created

Never again shall her prince be here....no more do faeries dance in the sky

The princess is left with the memory of the wild waking..asking why

The Day Dawns Still

I see you
next to me
I see you walking away
I see the day dawn....
still

I see us morphing and meandering
past the place we first found
our souls blended
Our voices will harmonize no more
over and through the waves
of  beautiful vibration
between us

I see the house on the hill
as the sun sets
I see the death of the love
there
When it needed to deliver us
it wanted to birth us

Our offspring died that day 

And we mourn now apart
when the pain is best
healed by two
We must do it alone
and this truth
takes my
breath away

Compassion Reflected

http://www.twistedrootstudios.com

Change my mind, world

show me your colors

show me your black and your white

Show me your compassion

Be the place of peace

you must be

or we will all be inside

forever

Inside our heads

Inside our hearts

Inside our homes

afraid to leave

afraid to die

I live in the world

and I am alive

I am peace

I am every color

I am black

and I am white

Let me show you

my compassion

For A While

I called you from some distant place
My past, my future
I think you called me too
I heard you
and along the way
I met you

my co-star for a while

Taking on our roles
rehearsing...learning the lines
Hitting the stage
and taking our bows
as co-stars

Until the road called

And suddenly we are off again
new lines, new scripts
new stages
new stars, new paths
stars alone, made better

by co-starring for a while

Take your bow
as I take mine....
in towns and cities
separate
accolades and reviews
in all the rags

A while is long enough
if we let it be
It is what we were gifted
and it is what
releases us now

On the world stage we stay
connected
while honing our craft
in towns and cities
separate

We were co-stars
We let it be enough
until we are called from our distance places once more
and again...perhaps... there will be no distance

for a while
