Wilderness calling
Nikki Jayne Aug 2021
Woman of warrior spirit
Though forest she runs
Wild hair mud-stricken face
Bare feet hardly touching the ground
Sword of wood clasped in hand
Eyes calmly scanning
Focus etched across brow
Determination in summit reach
Clarity through fresh breath
Icy waters to still racing mind
Expanded views bring limitlessness
Wild nature in human form
Passing trees pass on wisdom to their darting friend
Courage fusing bones, knowing grievance could come with one misstep
Bliss at the simplicity of running free

Child of the earth
Nikki Jayne Feb 2019
I dance to the rhythm
Of internal knowing
Soles embedded
Womb centered
Sky darkens to starlight
And I begin to sense
The recipe of her magic
A return to nature

Melodic synchronicity
Nikki Jayne Nov 2018
With you in my life I feel I am within the confines of a yurt made of love
The storm of life may surround
The Trees outside may tremble
The earth under our feet may shake
And the sky may darken with dread
...
I know I am safe
Together all is abated
I.am.safe
For you are my bringer of gentler tides
My golden ray of sunshine as nights grow long and days darken
We dance in shallow water where dolphins sing tunes of eternal music
Where melodies are made of synchronicities
Time and space hold no meaning as
intertwining double helix’s attached in the center of discovery
we wander in the moonlight
breathing presence into each and every moment
Your confidence the key to unlocking the chamber in which my doubts are held
For how can something so amazing happen so quickly?
Future planning creating damaging projections
Taking us away from the bliss that is
-This-
Simply
Us
...

Passing of seasons
Nikki Jayne Oct 2018
High as the birds
As I fly down the straat
Breaking between winds
Biking becomes my art

I'm a sunchaser with not so much time
Clouds coming daylight dimming
Ending play and dance in sunshine

Autumn is here as the fire glows hot
All gentle cosy and soft
Snuggled up closely in
Cinnamon spice clove
Soup and broth

With layers upon layers of clothes
We enter the winters sway
Retreating begins as we become
Hermits in our own way  

During the dark endless winters night
The campfire will call us to its divine light
Here we sing songs of our old souls treasure
Rituals dating back to where there still remains a tether
Healing in community
Through art and play
We gather around the fire
To Dance the winters chill away.
First northern hemisphere winter begins.

Winds of creations
Nikki Jayne Aug 2018
What does this mean?
To be open to be free
To feel the universe residing deep in with me
An invitation
Seems to be shouting at me to to be unashamedly..
me

Attachments create the illusion of security
Yet as human beings we need that sense of stability
Placing our reliance in happiness brought by another is a sure way to give away our sacred power

Dancing upon the winds of creation
I feel the flight of life's inspiration
Knowing the joy that bubbles inside is an unlimited source from the beauty divine...
Love
the life you live
Live the life you love
Shout out to the world the possibilities of one...ness
Is what we have
one-ness
Is who we are
Forever diving deep into the power of love

Awearness of ego, of triggers and judgement
Here to do the work with the guides of laughter.

Lions gate 8.8
Nikki Jayne Aug 2018
I wish you well
It's time to go
Cords to cut
Space to grow
Heaven sent
To help
To heal

Unexpected realms
We sang along
Opening wonders to personal song
Dance brought us closer
We paved our own way
Only a week
yet
Ive changed in away

Written in the stars
Destined to meet
With pure hearts we grew
With desire and heat
Lions roar
fire and brimstone
Lions gate opened  
And we returned home

A short stay it was
For our souls intertwined
The dance of sacred space and time
Cords to cut
The healings complete
The song we sang shall set us free
...thanks to this beautiful man who crossed my way...I love you Amsterdam
Nikki Jayne Jul 2018
Last time I wrote about you it was an ode of letting go
A release of what once was, what I thought would never be again
Though this life has its many surprises and seeing you again is surely one of them
When I think of you lover from distant lands my belly does a snap crackle pop
Yet I'm wary of my minds expectations, it's day dreams of a life together
I listen to my body, I feel how it reacts to the thought of you, of your smile, of your sparkling lake centred eyes
And I'm taken to a body of bliss
A place of joy and play
of life and love
Oh mind, I beg of you please let's live in the moment and leave what will be to the place of distant dreams.
~see thank you for leaving for context~

To men
Nikki Jayne Jun 2018
To the beautiful men who walk strong in their softness
The brothers who hold us while we sob tears
Who sit quietly while we talk about our moon time listening, learning
Here is to the dudes who encourage us to be bad ***

Do you know how healing you are, solely by being present?
How you help to mend the hurt of men before you?
I have held on to resentment for a long time
Too long
I'm done
I've let go.
Thank you my brothers,
Thank you for the laughs, the play fights, the exploring, the building, the talking, dancing, the intimacy.
Thank you for loving me
Dear brothers I thank you for allowing me to be me,
Thank you brothers for the push to be more than the woman I was before I meet you
For always making me a wee bit more bad *** than before.

I thank you for your healing presence.

Time to fly
Nikki Jayne Jun 2018
Saying good bye ant an easy thing to do
Especially saying good bye to you
I thank you my friends for this time spent
I thank you for being you

I spread my wings and fly away and head into the sun
Letting the wind take me on its way
Soaring down this crystal mountain with a soul fulled
With love peace and harmony

Follow your hearts dear
Follow your light to where your soul shines bright
Allow yourself to see your essence
You are one of life's true gifts

So I Spread my wings and fly away  
and dip into the wind
mother earth guiding my way
Where ever I am know my friend
You can always come and stay

Heading in the direction of my souls calling
Feeling fear within
The age old game the ego likes to play
This time it won't win
Ive got more tools in my kiti
More love than ever before
Know that I'll carry you with me
As i turn and head out the door

So I spread my wings and float away
Allowing myself to be
The full expression of my inner light
The great gift you could have given me
This freedom to be me

Where I'll go no one knows
Now It's time to fly away
Where I'll go no one knows
Now It's time to fly away

Anahata
I wish you peace

Dancing with Gaia
Nikki Jayne May 2018
Mother earth
Look what you've done to me
Toe tappin
Body shaken
Heart pounding
Weak at the knees
Face in your dirt
Oh Mother earth
Got me hypnotized
Took me  by quite surprise
The best dance partner I ever had
Turns out I don't need a man
Oh Mother earth
Look what you've done to me
The best dance partner I've ever had

Unferling koru
Nikki Jayne May 2018
Dance has me stirred but not shaken
From here the depths of my soul reawaken
I arise through the expression of this sacred art
Stepping into the light protected out by my open heart
The magic of silent rythym has me in a twril
Like the koru of a fern I release I unfearl
Dancing with beings not on this plane they teach me the ways of moving with no shame
Slightly mad I may seem
As I smile upon the ones who remain unseen
The freedom of dance invigorates my being
Silent mind
body moving
spirit dreaming.
Nikki Jayne May 2018
Biggest fear about being seen is that not only will my light shine my darkness too will penertrate through.
Living in community where I am looked to scares me
Not a way to hide a bad day
With tear streked checks there is no dening the crying
And to carry on is the only option Depths of being not wanted to be shown are there on display
No escaping to a house alone
Here we meditate, eat, work, dance, sing, share everything together.
There can be no hiding of ones self from anyone
On display
Constantly
Expectations push down my feelings of freedom
Am I a butterfly ready to emerge or am I being buried under?
It appears to be able to go either way
No one ever said transformation was easy

Dragon teeth mountains
Nikki Jayne May 2018
Sun setting in the western haze
Moon arises on the eastern shore

Caught in the middle of light and dark  attachment and letting go

Mutual affection
Nutty affliction of joy

Smothered in my grief
The shrill call of the Kea seeks to brings me out of this gloom

Why so sad it shreeks?  
Be grateful for this time you have had together

Stepping into the role of woman who could see love with you
Who endervers to let you go

There is no choice only acceptance, though this bites as sharp as dragon teeth mountains.

Thank you for leaving
Nikki Jayne Apr 2018
You left me twice
You had your chance
Twice.

Thank you for that.
For the cavernous hole of rejection
The bursting of our illusion  
The ripping down of  future projection

I had imagined your departure (the second one) would cause a tidal wave of despair to drown me in tears
Yet no,
Three months on and I stand more than strong
I stand free
I stand more me

Thank you,
For the way in which you shouded me in self uncertainty
For this allowed the space for me to follow my dream
And living it now I am
Thank you for leaving (twice) past lover from distant lands

Winds of Kuan Yin
Nikki Jayne Apr 2018
Element of air got me spinning with the winds
The wild one dancing with goddess kuan yin

Earth you guide with your grounded wisdom
My roots in your womb mother blessed with this freedom

Fire you have me lit
Force of unbridled passion infused with inspiration
A perfect fit

Water you are the river of gentle cleansing
What needs to be released you carry from me.

Ether the element of connectedness
Spirit realm
one pointed awearness

Dreams of stories untold
Nikki Jayne Apr 2018
The Darkness of space left after sunset
Leaves a meager sense of incompleteness

Bound to broken shards of days gift
Searching through the remains
Flickering away the quietness

Not quite alone in dreams of stories untold
As constellations of departed souls beacon me closer to the place of my original home

Clouded over with questions
I ask of them
Do you deem right from fortune?
wrong from uncertain?
Or are you simply there to shine bright from the heavens?

Not quite fulfilling my wish of uninterrupted sleep
Their answer comes with sedated peace
it is a must
In this life of turbulent sorrows
To learn to place your faith
In the joys of the morrow.

My gentle songstress
Nikki Jayne Apr 2018
As I dance upon moonlight and thunder
I step into the blueprint of my innate joy and wonder

I hear my gentle songstress
She is the one of peace and unity
Her call sings the soul frangments once thought lost back home to me

Shadows deep as the lion's roar cast out beliefs that hold service no more
So I begin to heal myself from within
With the thoughts that I think
And the words that I speak

You see for too long did I dance to the beat of another's drum
My gentle songstress is me
She and I are one.

— The End —
