Haven't we surrendered and searched for time.
Dragged our weary bones till they break.
Seeking out solace and enlightening
Thoughts.
Sentences hidden without paragraphs, silence take.

Earth and water on which we fear to tread.
Scared of the sacrifices we have to make.
Dancing barefoot on cracked eggshells,
Letting delicate meanings have their escape.

We sigh with heavy diaphragm plagued by shallow breath.
Your image in my memory I shall not forsake.
Untie the ribbons that bind body and  heart.
Time for two souls to soar...so feel the life...  in our wake.

Maeve the brave

Descended from a long line of strong women
Rooted in the wild beauty running through her ancestors homeland
You can't help smiling as you despair
When you are awoken at some ungodly hour
This otherworldly being with a halo of golden hair... a breath of fresh air
Can't but help imagine the smile on the faces of the mothers who have gone before
She walks with the confidence and
Self belief of one who knows exactly why she is here
You can't help smiling as you despair
When you are awoken at some ungodly hour
She isn't just here...she grabs life roughly in both hands
Shakes the living day lights out of every day
A true warrior in all her glorious Colours,moods and textures
She makes you believe in a magical world where the impossible becomes possible
So when she wakes you at some ungodly hour smile and take heart
For you are in for an interesting day
With the savage beauty called Maeve

Thank you to all the mothers who have gone before.
Whispers from the past,
Echoes reaching into the future.
Wrap your arms around this daughter.
I am still learning not to fall.
Sit down in her shade.
Let the branches of the family tree
Protect and shelter us
Each and every day.

I can only face you with amazing grace
Gracefulness of heart
Heartfelt pleas upon the lines around my eyes
Eye on the goal of ultimate peace
Peace, perfect peacefulness upon the lips that sigh...
Sigh then stop still and in the fullness of time
Time...that waits for blessed moment after moment
Moments that will stand the test
Testing our strength and courage
Courage to face the world with truth
Truth that saves these faces.... soon it will be time
Time to dance, time to grieve, time to serve and time to be....

We gave birth to the whole world.
Therefore have the ultimate power.
If we share our innermost thoughts,
At the most intimate time,
We have the maximum impact.
On this day of all days,
As the universal mother,
We hold the change in our hands.
It's up to each and every one of us.
As we give birth to the next generation,
And as daughters of the last,
It's time to acknowledge but leave the past.
Cut the ties that bind... open the eyes that keep us blind.
Keep the ultimate goal in mind...
We are all part of this human race
We can't keep on saving face.
Blaming each other for our forebears disgrace.
Make this a day to celebrate humanity.
Gather strength from our unity
And give our children the belief in true equality.
We are all equal... surely this is what gives our life it's quality.

CM 8/3/15

Woken up,
Weary bones.
Lump in throat.
Miss you now.
Missed you yesterday.
Miss you more tomorrow.
Head is full,
Full of you.
Heart hurts.
Huge big hole.
Too big to fill,
With anyone but you.

Brush away the pain
Rub out the harsh words
Encircle my body
With your protective arms
Catch the wonderful
Before its lost to the wind.
