HEALING WATERS

When your life begins to flood

And you don’t know what to do,

Lean back into the ocean

And float your way through.

When burdens seem heavy,

It’s time to Leave the shore!

The soul cries out inside you,

There must be something more.

Surrender to the current,

 And just let go.

 

Float away across the ocean,

Toss your troubles in the sea;

Just feel this holy water,

The sun, the sky, and thee.

These waters will support you.

Fall back and  just breathe.

For you possess already,

 All you truly need.

For the soul that has surrendered,

Is the soul that lives free.

Disengage the critical mindset,

That says you haven’t tried.

 Go find your quiet place

And throw your arms wide.

 Breathe in the air around you;

Let your fear subside.

 Believe in your own value,

More than the sun and sky.

Soon you will see,

“You” can finally just ” be.”

 

Laugh, cry, and scream,

It feels good to be free!

RESTORATION

This is my prayer to spirit. “come find me.”

Some days my soul can’t even pray.

I feel my soul has lost its way.

Surrendering to you, light found my soul.

Wind and flood have taken their toll.

“Come find me.”

 

The Earth sings a symphony!

Glory comes in the morning.

I hear whispers at night.

I walk the Earth with barren feet

As she hears my plight.

Both tears and joy flow

As I climb this steep hill.

She knows what I’ve been through.

She whispers, “Just be still.”

 

Her name is Mother Wisdom.

She understands my heart.

If I seek her earnestly,

She’ll help me find gold:

The self I had surrendered,

Which was buried, stolen, and sold.

Some stories  are forgotten.

And others mirror my soul.

No more tales of patriarchs,

Men seeking to control.

I want a different story

To restore my fractured soul.

 

I cry for my sisters.

Their stories still untold.

Athena, Mother Mary,

And Magdalene too.

Gaia and Artemis,

My soul cries out to you.

You are not dead.

You live in me, held dear.

Stay with me

And give me strength.

Help me remove my fear!

 

Let moon, stars, and Venus

And the entire Milky Way,

Lay down beside me

And forever with me stay.

The Goddess has her reckoning,

The pain of the world restored.

She strokes my hair gently.

She reminds me of my worth.

She whispers, “You can do this.”

She assists me with rebirth.

Abundant gifts she gives me:

The owl upon its nest,

The scent of fallen pine trees,

That stays with in my breast.

She reminds me that for now,

I can finally rest.

One Of My Favorite Poems: “Tulips in Mid-Winter.” Jenny Hardin.

TULIPS IN MID-WINTER

The heart is deep and dusty, and it longs for sweet release,

The beauty of awakening, after heavy winter sleep.

A tulip in mid-winter beckons daffodils of spring.

If I can only wait it out, my soul again will sing.

The smell of spring appeared today… a fainting, fleeting glimpse.

The briefest flash of better days rode in upon the scent.

The dark days and the lone abyss can weigh the spirit down,

The longings of a soul suppressed in which so many drown.

With age I see the seasons in a wholly different light.

They offer such perspective on the ups and downs of life.

The poems and the passions, the loss, and the strife

Inviting me closer, to the self, the me, the “I.”

I know that she’s still in there…she winks, I shrug…we cry.

A blizzard in November and the heat of mid-July,

To  live with such extremes, I fear that I might die.

But weather has  much to teach us,

If we keep on walking, TRY…

I know leaves  fall in autumn,

Like all things, in due time…

I look around and  wonder,

Am I  past my prime?

Perhaps, I’m like the weather–uncertain and sublime.

 

As the sparrow flies off to the east, not knowing how or why,

Some mid-life day you’ll wake and find, not all  poems  rhyme,

Like weather, people, life… and the mysteries of time.

Mother Nature holds the secrets and the meaning of it all,

And restores peace within me with the Holy Spirit’s call,

Like sunshine warm at noonday and gentle storms at night.

I’ve learned from all life’s seasons how to stay upright.

I need my time of solitude and time to rest and sleep;

Like the storms of summer, I also need to weep;

And like the leaves of autumn, I will fall repeatedly.

New growth will emerge deep inside of me.

With rebirth, I’ll shine like a thousand suns,

For great mornings come when night is done.

Death precedes rebirth as winter turns to spring.

I need to hold on, not fear what life brings.

Like tulips  bloom in winter, I will bloom again too.

I know my peace is coming if I can see it through.
