The Spirit within me is alive - I experience this physical body But I am connected to a world beyond this one- It’s expansive and brings me to tears I posses a remembering - a yearning for home I long to rest my head down and be held in eternal love I let my heart expand - the world breaths as my lungs fill This tree, and all the trees, look out for me God himself embodies me, and you I ask, how do I pray? God responds - this is prayer - I am with you

Longing
There is a cycle where the veil lifts The material is distant And the spiritual is tactile God feels closer I know this unseen world My body convulses with surges Energy shoots through me Heavy tears drop I imagine them quenching dry red earth Falling through cracks There’s a direct line A connection God is speaking to me I feel a longing for home For the earthly dirt For the higher realm Before I bleed I’m sensitive to this density Energy feels weighty Visceral, almost visible I’m reminded of my spirit My own wild nature, tamed But the essence of my heart roars My feral body sings to the beat of nature I bleed like the red earth I am tribal. I am feral I stand with and part of creator

************
It was never you Who brought the magic of my heart to life That cantered like a band of wild horses Through spring meadows at sunrise Nature’s chorus cheered me on But I put my strength in your disguise You rode the wonders of my coattails I made excuses for your lies But here I am in wonderment That dependency in you grew When once again you left me Your words left me black and blue You can never take the power Of my wild, open heart Who steers the good and bad with grace Every time you depart

It Was Always Me
Fall, fall Fall into your own divinity Seep into the sacredness of your soul Your cells are dancing with the universe Particles of you entangle with the creator Release those tears They are cleansing the energy of worlds This moment is alchemy When you connect with the supreme You’re feeling your own majesty Fall, fall There is nowhere to fall But home

The Fall
Oh October’s Hunter Moon Largest on this night Teach me what you know The universe is fast Yet nowhere feels like home I saw you rise Like a setting sun White and yellow As the night begun I force to break our gaze But wisdom’s in your presence With a calming of my soul I long to linger in your essence I love you at your fullest I love you when you’re barely found I know you’re always there Powerful, Profound

Supermoon
Have I wasted years based on a fantasy of unprocessed fears, of daddy issues, and tears I tear myself to pieces, my stomach is tied in knots, my mind is really broken, and I seem to cry a lot I’m so desperate for your validation, for your kindness and your love, but the novelty of me soon wears off, and again I’m crushed. This time will be different, we’ve come so far, we’ve grown so much. We also made agreements that toxicity was done. But who the hell was I fooling Starved of chaos for a moment too long You feast on destruction, dramatise this new production, which turns out is just a reconstruction, of the time before, and the one before that, I can go back and back. Am I so ******* up for thinking things had changed I’m scared to trust my thoughts I think my feelings are insane. The venom in your voice, the stab of every vicious word How is this the person who soothed me when I hurt. How can I trust when you switch on me like that The welcome mat is pulled and it’s into combat I am the enemy. I must be destroyed Just like Andy playing with his toys Story has it, it will eventually become white noise This scene has been repeated so much my head is sore Blame, and blame, and blame, some more. This time you scared me more than ever before I’ve seen your darkness and still loved you to your core But now I’m really sick I don’t know who I am and my self esteem has dipped. I don’t remember my smile, I live in ignorant denial. I’m pathetic. I’m ashamed. I’m weak Yet I continue to dial your number Over, and over, and over, and over Every click to voicemail chips away at my self-worth I sob my precious heart out, longing to matter to you, coz no one else will do. I put you on a pedestal and I really don’t know why Because you’re emotionally abusive and you’ve made me want to die. But you’ve also made me laugh, you’ve soothed me with your song, you sung me lullabies And when anxiety has become too strong, you’ve got me to breathe along You’ve held me and you’ve stroked my hair You’ve reached out to touch me and to check that I am there I believed we had an unparalleled connection Was it self deception? Was I blind and naive? I know love isn’t easy but should it bring you to your knees? It’s certainly brought me closer to god Coz I’ve begged and prayed like a hungry dog I have no idea where I have gone

I long for a love I’m yet to meet ‘Cause the one I’ve lost has broken me Love lies bleeding in my hands Of memories and unfilled plans My heart aches and my mind is numb I’ve cried all night to the rising sun My endless tears fall like Aprils rain Mend my broken heart, I pray The pain it just won’t go away Melancholy floods my veins I needed you to feel this pain I needed you Clinging to hope, to “one day, “soon” I cemented my wounds with false promise One day, some day, well, that didn’t come We didn’t make it to the seaside There was no more laughter There was no more fun I waited I waited The telephone doesn’t ring now Your voice is left inside my head With all your broken promises With all the things you said I waited I waited

Love Season
It’s zero hundred hours on the 1st of July I’m alone with the truth of silence There is something to be said for stoicism, for getting on My soul longs to release a river of tears I focus on the light patterns Across my dated artex ceiling Rays of light like sunbeams Through my 70s style, wicker light shade I wonder about the lonely households All the broken hearts The ones regretting And the ones taking it all for granted Melancholy surrounds me like an aura And spreads under my skin

Midnight
There you go, moving in the wind I see you, under the Red Kite's wings I feel your shadow, I hear you sing There you are, among constellations of the open sky In eye contact of passers by Even in the tears I cry I watch you, in the rug of fallen leaves You're there, even when I don't believe You hold me when I find release I feel you, in the presence of the peeling bark In the starkness of the lonely dark Dear Spirit, you're in my heart

There You Are
"I love you" she says silently before typing the words to you She loves you like long summer days catching grasshoppers in her hands Like sneaking over the neighbours fence to watch tadpoles morphing into frogs Like the adventures of the warm dusty ground, looking for lizards She loves you like her childhood self-belief The matter of factness that collecting cans from the street and selling handmade things Would change the world, would save the dolphins and the whales From Japan, Norway and captivity She loves you certainly, like the trees she climbed High, scary to prove she was stronger than fear Like the Amber jewel of tree sap and the earthly smell of pine And things that mattered She loves you because you have helped her remember herself
