The hollow heartbeat
The tearful eye
The gift so precious
Lie broken at my feet
The hallowed ground
The woeful cry
The breath
The only sound
My voice has no words
My mind wanders
Seeking
Full of thoughts
Passing memories
The pain the sorrow
The love and joy
A balance
I hear my hollow heartbeat
I wipe my tearful eye
I give my gift so precious and lay it at your feet
What’s wrong with me? I asked…
And they said…
We are here as protectors
Of your mind and body
We are record keepers
Writers
Children
Terrorists
Sadness
Erotic lover
Confusion
Intense happiness
Dark thoughts
Secrets kept silent
We are you and you are us
What’s wrong?
Nothing my dear… this is your normal
You are strong
You are beautiful
You love deeply
You are…
Too intense for some
Lost in thought
Compassionate
There’s nothing broken or bent
That can’t be repaired with time
There’s no safety net
Be courageous
Be brave
Be patient
Be kind.
I hear a slow methodical drum beat as I walk on this ground
Ground of the ancients whose footsteps blessed this land
Whose love of life and their surroundings
Brought them peace and serenity
Brought them a simple existence
Land that cradled them in her bosom
Provided for them
I walk silently…carefully
Each footstep a new story
The new cycle begins
Another trip around the life giving sun
Another chance
Today I leave behind only my footprints
A blessing in each
Someday I will return here
In the spirit of death
A shadow of time
I will become the elder
The keeper of woman’s wisdom and love
My mind spins in wonder
My heart… full of joy
My eyes see the beauty around me
The vibration of the earth
Becomes a harmony in my body
Molecules and atoms split
Exploding into new life
I am… at ease
We are unified
In search of a peaceful existence in this world
Life off grid… connecting with nature
Talking with trees
Consoled by the rivers
Held in warmth by the sun
In search of wisdom from the moon
Soaring through the hawks eyes on the thermals
In search of life.
