Mountain Top........for Mount Kilimanjaro


Written by Brayden Vanstrom and me!


Come and stand on this
high mountain
with me
Here we will witness
the world's wild
beauty
 
Here, high above the
the amazing
clouds
We are
far away from the
deafening
crowds
 
The only sound the
wind
will share
Is her natural howl
heard
everywhere
 
Stand with me on this
mountain high
Where we can talk with
and almost touch
the sky
 
That hangs like an ocean
of air
over our heads
The glorious ground of the
mountain top
will be our
beds

Mother and Child Reunion

http://www.twistedrootstudios.com



The concentric rings of the tree
inside
Is where I go today to be found
and hide
A new ring for each year
alive
The ring around my finger heavy
as a gyve

The freedom of the forest
calls
I run to it leaving behind all
walls
A fork in the road will present
I know
And I will choose which way to
go

I may choose to walk any
path
I can wander the woods.... no need
for a map
For in the green and brown forest's 
protection
I can travel safely in any
direction

My soul will honor the leaves newly
fallen down
As they crunch under my feet connected
to the ground
Under the ground lies Gaia's
mighty heartbeat
It's sad, and it's sweet and I know it
complete

For it is the beat of my own
heart
Matched again now that we are
no longer apart
We are rejoined in the forest
deep and wild
"I've come home to you mama,
I am your child"

It Never Ends






It never ends....
the love

It floats atop the breezes
of the day

Flitting down now and again
landing as recall

In moments of memories
gifted in visions

A touch, a kiss, soft words
a hand reaching

It never ends....
the peace

Love births simple peace
and real truth

A laugh, a sigh, a hand
held within mine

Stars gazed upon with wonder
morning coffee creamy

Glances across a crowded room
summoning the smile

I spill over with love today
it never ends

It is here, floating on the breezes
of my memories

And I Cried



http://www.twistedrootstudios.com


I stood on the mountain top
alone in the mist
I called out your name
and let the vibes cover me...
bathe me
As your name came back around in an
echo bath...holding me
I cried then
for you and I cried for me

I feel so alone as you fold your wings
Landing in a land that does not
honor you
But you landed, no longer in
flight beside me
Your wings too tired and true
to allow the freeing heights
to which we soared
I miss my friend
I must honor your decision.....
and I cried

The air up here is thin
I am dizzy and weak from the reality
of being here...alone
Altitude sickness
High above the clouds
I wish I could stop and drop
plummeting through the wind
wild and free
I wish a cloud would catch me....
hold me up, make me laugh
Like my friend
used to
But, you are not a billowy
cloud of comfort
You are thin like the air
up here
You have landed
you are gone
And I cried

High on this mountain
alone
I rise again and again
attempting the
descent
One day I will climb down
and begin again
But for now, right now 
I will cry

High Bear Nation....for Amy

 
http://www.twistedrootstudios.com
 
 
Awakening from my long, slumbered safe... soulful hibernation
I am freeborn once again to wander the wonder of my
High Bear Nation
 
Sun on my shoulders now slender and weak
I am off for the sprouts of the Spring my belly seeks
Nourish my body, feed my soul
I am in my High Bear Nation
Home on my mountain
High and majestic
Touching the clouds that I dreamed of
in my slumber deep
'Hello, brother clouds"
"Hello meadow, valley and peaks"
"Hello world"
 
Feeling, smelling the fertile funk of Gaia's wakening
as well
She and I are souls connected
She housed me inside her again this winter
"It feels good to be awake, Mama......
what's for breakfast?"
 
She answers...."All of this is your table, my daughter bear"
"Feast with your eyes, your soul, fill your belly"
 
"Yes, but I have a stop to make first, Mother"
 
As I saunter up the foot hill, still weak
I find the friend my soul does seek
My wise friend, the mighty pine tree with her fringed fingers
Waiting to touch me again
Wanting to run, but too weak, I take my time in witnessing her
Gentle tears of reunion rising in my eyes
As she patiently waits in the perfect stillness of the breeze now
She stands tall and proud
 
Meeting her touch, we sing that song we always do in the newness
of Spring
"Aho, my friend...no longer alone, we are together again"
We sit and talk as she shares her Winter stories
and I tell her of my dreams in my den deep
We are once again touching
Here in my
High Bear Nation
in the Springtime of our time...
two-gether

one with the clouds

the air so thin up here
on this mountain
I am enveloped within the silence
of being so high
so close
to the clouds
I can touch them
they wrap around me
I am one with the clouds

freedom mine finally
alone never
at peace, always
in all ways
I have found my power place

high on this mountain
high on my life
only venturing down
when I decide it is time
and then..I return to the lofty
lodge my soul inhabits

home, I am, on this mountain
home, I am, within the quiet life
I have chosen
I thrive on my mountain
I live my life fully, here, now
high on this mountain
where I am one with the clouds

Wandering......

At times, we feel we are merely
wandering....
Left out in the cold
Alone and scared, fearful

We wander there and here
Attempting to "be strong"
Believing in something larger
Than our own selves

Lost in the land of Never
The land of Can't
The land of Darkness
The land of No Where

Suddenly.....though
A light breaks through the darkness
An opportunity,obscured prior
Has been presented

Risking, we step forward
Our inner compass appears broken
yet....
A vision leads us in the proper
direction...a miracle experienced

The revelations of a life given
Back to its rightful owner
Are many....
and profound

May you never stop seeking
May you wander till you find
Your own life, your own way
Your own YOU
