I am breathing....

 

 

 

If I never existed

Never was sparked as the zygote

Never took a first life affirming breath

I would still breathe.....you

We would still love

Even if I never existed

 

A love of proportions.....epic

Knows no boundaries

No time gets in the way

Distances we deny

 

We would love this deeply

This truly, this organically

Even if it were not my hand in yours

Even if we had not touched

Even if we had never met on the corner

of hope and healing

 

 So, my love.....

Even in those moments when you doubt

Or you long for my hand in yours

Remember, I do exist

And I am breathing.....you

Love's Time Bend

 

 

 

 

Lonely is as lonely does

What once was

Is no longer

 

Now I am connected

No longer rejected

No longer overprotected

From those who can not give

In love with love is where I live

 

In the leap of the flame of a single candle

Sitting atop the intricately carved mantel

I witnessed love glide gracefully to me

My mind, my heart, my spirit in synergy

Love came and set up residence

In the place where I become all of my innocence

With a bit of wild...a little wantonly wicked

As the lone candle flickered

I knew I would never taste lovely again

In love's time bend, there is only now, no then

When You Saw Me

 

 

This love

Like the slow waking sun

Rises sacral chakra orange

In the new dawn of each new morn

 

Once we were alone....

 

Walking the vastness of the spaces

Fragile smiles worn on weary faces

Stumbling through the dreams of desire

Stoking the flames of the invisible fire

Sending out silent signals of smoke

Real love.... we were desperate to invoke

 

It all got too heavy, too much of a load

Reclaiming the souls we had so easily sold

We halted the search of the centuries

Letting go the notion of living happily

 

In the letting go

There was a gift about to be bestowed

And just like that....in the blinking of our eyes

Our gazes met and we were hypnotized

 

Smoke signals received in silent vibration

You touch me and I know deep excitation

Leave me and I know you will be returning

Partners we are in this mutual soul journey

 

Smoke signals got in our eyes

Sent upon the blue canvas of a fateful sky

You know my love for you will never die

For when you first saw me, I rose like the sun.....

alive

 

 

Sing Us

Soul song
Loud and long
Soft and sublime
Deep and divine
Soul song
Sing me awake

Soul song
Meandering melody
Humbled harmony
Lyrics liquid
Flowing forward
Soul song
Sing me safe

Soul song
Your yearning
Labored learning
My magic
Tempered tragic
Soul song symphony
Sing us alive

Soul song
Blended beauty
Dayrise duality
Rising rested
In love...invested
Soul song
Sing us anew

Like This...Part 2.....For me

"Love yourself like this" I sang
And I taught myself how
In my shelter the stillness rang
The silent snowy blue white truth
of now

I chose to be alone
My cure for lonely
Stripped down to the bone
The naked ways of me....only

"Love me this way
Give your soul spinning space
A place to meet the sway
A place to match Gaia's pace"

I sing my music in my brain
Silent love song to my re-birth
I have rewritten my own refrain
Embryo in the womb of my mama earth
 

Like This....for Joe

"Love me like this" I sang
and I showed him how
In his amazement he screamed
"Wow"
And he gave to me all that
he had and more
His love for me now, has opened
a once hidden door
Occluded by my need to honor
him and us

I spoke to him of how to love
me now, I had to trust
That we would be ok
As I walked into the
light of a
brand new day

"Love me like this" I cried to
him today
and he loved me more with
each step I took away
And I love him with all that
I am and will be
I allow his love light
to shine on me
As this light steers me home
And he returns to our home....
alone
We know we have loved like
precious and few
Ever are gifted the opportunity
to

regardless.....

in love with your own dna
your own humble ways
your own face reflected in the 
glass with beveled edge
in love with this vehicle that
is you
regardless of the dents and dings
regardless of the blue book value
regardless of society's vision of 
perfection
in love with you
regardless

in love with what lives inside
the energy of your soul
the wisdom of your ages
the shine of your own edges....
beveled

some may label you a narcissist
or insane
there will always be a person who
does not love themselves ready to call
you their fear filled names
it's up to you to know your own name
to be your own power

my name i know
my power i allow
your opinion of me
matters not to me
don't you have more important
ways to tend to your time, 
really?

for instance ...you could be falling in
love with you right now

in love with your own dna
your own humble ways
your own face reflected in the 
glass with beveled edge
in love with this vehicle that
is you
regardless of the dents and dings
regardless of the blue book value
regardless of society's vision of perfection
in love with you....
regardless

The Long and Lovely Linger

My love lies living!
In the sun on the sensual
swell of the sea
On the white sand of the
waiting seashore
Where the sea makes love
long and lazy
to the land
Over and over
In waves....wet, mild
or voraciously
wild

In the moonshine
brazenly beaming in the
deep dark calm of
our most daring and
decadent
nights of passion

On the prairie
In the tall grasses swaying
seductively
in the tender breezes
Caressing their
long and lean lingering
seeded souls....
So satisfied now

My love lives in me
big and bold
Listen.... hear the beat of
my reciprocated raw
and real rebel
heart
Thumping out the bass line
of our soul song

And... soaring above the drum's
booming beat
is your voice vibrating
Tender, strong and sweet
Also singing
Heart beating
Swaying souls together....
seeded
As we sit in the moonbeam
painted night
Awaiting the sultry sun's
signal of another day

Greeting the day
we are
Wrapped up in
each other
To quell the chill of the
dew drizzled diamond
dazzling morn

For we do not wish to
miss the magic
of the beginning
of a
new day
Birthed where the horizon
traces the curves
of this orb we ride....spinning through
outer space

Inner pace matched up
in our melody
as we greet a new rise
of the Goddess Sun
A new day...ours
in all her returning splendor

This day, as all other
days birthed from the womb
of the Universe
Shall be spent in mighty celebration
of the
long and lovely linger of
Love!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I've never been one of those people

who can love you one minute

and hate you the next

That is not real love, then

Real love is a decision my head makes

and then tells my heart

My heart... the initial receiver... is pumping

fast so my head will hear the beat

and WAKE UP!

 

People are going to mess up the beauty

of love

We always will

We have a problem allowing the

ease and flow

It's the clean up that matters

A clean up in aisle 3

Get the mop, the bucket and the broom

No more mess

 

The problem arises when love is

misunderstood

She is not an emotion, but a decision

Emotions change like the shifting of the wind

A decision, once made... is solid

until I decide to shift the winds on

my own

 

Once I decide, I am there

Until I decide I need to make

another decision

Then I set about doing just that

 

I love my family

I love my friends

I love lovers

I love life

I love stones and rocks and trees

I love my oceans and rivers and creeks

 

I love

 

Yeah, it's that simple

Yeah, it's that complex

Yeah, it's that important

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Baby

LOL

Faces

The faces of our soul
Countless personas we present
Runnin so we don't get old
Holding on to the times we resent

Faces happy, faces sad
Gorgeous, frightening or grim
In shadows or masks they are clad
Hiding ourselves in limited lighting dim

The face we share will indicate our truth
in a situation with a foe, lover or friend
I sometimes feel like a sultry sleuth
Attempting to offer love but afraid to offend

The face of fear I shed so long ago
Why now, does its gaze reflect in my mirror
It gets cloudy and cold and  I miss you so
Longing for and wanting you here, near

I just want you near
I once again shed my fear
Daily if needed
Loneliness the only thing we have cheated
And a love like ours is never defeated
It grows and guides, sustains and nourishes
and in the spaces we create it flourishes
<3

Precious and Few

The ability to create love from a healed place is such a gift. When this opportunity is presented to you, please know there is only one definition of love. This definition is innate within you, no one person defines love the same exact way.

When the soul whose definition  blends with yours is shown to you, this is when the magic happens.

Hold on, be still, be the dew....always.

When you allow this for yourself.....your fears are precious and few. your doubts are precious and few, your heart is light and your head is full of hope.

Hard to find, yes...impossible...nope. Loves like this are precious and few, but so very real. So be it.
<3

The AMAZING Human Spirit!

Willing to love...

I often write about the idiosyncrasies of being human in a less than favorable light. It is not that I don't respect people or cherish many of them. It is actually that I see so much self doubt and fear in people who cross my path, or in clients who I meet along the way in my healing practice. The truly astonishing part of all of this is when I am able to witness an awakening of a person's inner truth, their inner wisdom and their soul. The day the light goes on and guides them to themselves is a gift I am so humbled to receive over and over again. When we realize we really are enough on all levels, the true art of living can begin!!

Dan speaks in this song about finding the one person who possesses the soul that sings to his and his alone. It took him some time to find this soul, and along the path he chose to follow, he encountered other loves, but not the "one" until he met Jean. She was a gift to him, and he to her. The family of Dan holds her in the highest esteem and regard, not only because she is a stellar human being, but because she gave so much to Dan, who gave so much to us. We know he was fulfilled, loved, happy and free and it showed! He could guide his life by the star she shined in the sky for him. As he sailed into his final days, she was there to assist his transition to another place........and now she carries his lantern into the future.

I am always amazed at the depth and quality of the human spirit! It is that part of us that is least human, I believe.....a spark of the creator within us. The willingness to love holds no boundaries for so many of us. In turmoiled times, in times of rejoicing, we love, relentlessly, strongly, purely.

I know beautiful souls who are walking alone right now, yet they know within themselves that somewhere out there, in the vastness of our existence...there beats a heart that is also ready to love. This heart beats a cadence in rhythm with their own, and one day, they shall discover each other. You can ask them and they will say "I know my soul mate is out there"

The Human Spirit is a natural wonder of the world.  Today, I honor all of my fellow 2 leggeds who are waiting for the guiding light that leads them home to shine so they can follow. I honor the deepness of their trust and the passion of their souls. I honor their tenacity and their ability to allow the inner knowing they posses.

I honor you,  brave and wise friends who walk alone.....and I want you to know, I love you.
