I am the sediment of various layers
formed by nature’s forces
my dna, an open vessel
in which my soul receives and retains,
like a cocoon opens and renews,
over and over again
not to be forgotten,

between light and shadow
a construction of the true self,
polished by erosion
until that what remains
has blurred the illusions
and the core,
only a grain of sand,
is left

too young to remember
she is
that fairytale

that indefinable feeling
as if...................

today........

who knows........

let’s wait..........

prompt (white cliffs / seaside memories)


the sound of the waves
the cliffs
year after year
you, me,
crumbling

prompt (dahlia / bud)

a myriad of petals
waiting to rise
to the last summer sun

you,
who can weight your sorrows on butterfly wings
you,
who dances through life with cosmic kings
I suspect that you,
and forgive me when I’m wrong,
are trying to make me happy…………
happy, just by singing your song…….:

see the world in all it’s glory
just listen to it’s ancient story
and you will know
all the secrets that lie deep within you,
hidden but eagerly waiting for your light
and yes you touched me,
while holding me tight and comforting my soul,

and I
I say thank you
thank you
thank you
thank you for just being you

When
I think of you
my heart opens
like the wings of the white dove
spreading light
in its flight
blessing me

when I think of you
my heart jumps
on the rhythm of nature’s song
a hymn of true wisdom
inviting me
to life’s dance

when I think of you
I am small in your greatness
great in your simplicity
and complete
in how I am designed
I bow in grace
