Seasons shift
forest awakes.
Warm breezes blow
refreshing the soul
Heat builds as
shade deepens
Changes come and
colors erupt
Winds blow
cold creeps in
White falls
forest sleeps.

Embrace the feminine,
Rejoin the world of light and shadow.
My sisters await,
I have been gone too long.
But they are patient, their rhythmic drumming continues,
A call for wisdom to those who have come before.
The drums awaken in our souls the
Primal sounds of life.
Listen to the crows cry in morning
Listen to the night sounds resonate with the vibrations of life.
Brook and sky
Flow together in harmony.
My soul reunites with my heart.
My place is remembered and rejoined.
My heart is endless, and knows no time or place,
It retains a place for him.
He who completes the connection,
Body and soul as no other can.
But I have learned, that to desert myself,
To love so completely that I lose myself
Is not what it is meant to be.
My love must complement who I am
Not become who I am.
My love for him is eternal,
It takes up no space and has no limits but
I will not allow it to consume me.
If only he could know, could feel as I do,
Our love would be as it was intended, the connection would be complete.
The space between us would dissolve into vapor and
We would be one in harmony with earth and sky.
Together
And the crows would cry at sunrise
And the night sounds would resonate with the sound of my sisters singing and drumming in celebration of light and love, love as it should be.

Rising smoke of love
Tangles limbs and thoughts.
The sharing is complete
Only when doubt is defeated.
Love ebbs and flows
And Sings itself to sleep,
To rise with the sun but
Cry and stumble in the night.
To barter is an unwise decision,
Love’s stakes are too high.
Its heartfelt promises are made but
Washed to truth by rain.
rain puts out the fire,
As love’s smoke settles to ash.

Winter cold,
Shared isolation.
A time of hibernation,
For us as well.
Silence in the forest
Only the hiss of falling snow
Summer’s fragrant scents are gone
Replaced by the cold – only snow scents.
But I can feel it, the silence,
The stillness of sleep.
The fresh cold air.
The time of rest.
The burrows lined with grasses,
Crisp autumn leaves of warmth.
The creatures relent and sleep,
Only we insist on life as usual.
We fight the cold, curse the endless snows
And count the days till spring.
Relax, enjoy this time of silent whiteness
A time of peace and gentle sleep.
The cycle of seasons will run again,
They have not forgotten.
It is hard, so hard
Why? They are everywhere.
In rain drops and baby smiles
Shoelaces and cereal boxes
Tree branches and sunsets
but still they escape me and
Float away on hummingbird wings.
Their essense slips through my fingers
Evading my mind’s grasp.
Stories escaping my words,
Frozen thoughts someday to thaw.
Fuzzy shadows
Red maple sprinkled road
Hint of green
Ground up
Spring
Lilies – dropping petals
Clear water vase
Mixed colors
Mixed personalities
Slow to fade
Purposful
Tea bag
Steaming water
Alone
Scent – reminder
Leftover love
Shadows of truth
Enlightening
