MY SOUL Journey

---

My Sky 

I hear a whisper as I close the book

Take flight small bird

And realize how large you will loom in the big night sky

It’s space and silence
So far and Wide

Free from the constrained that is time

Go now and soar
It will bring you
the tear of salt that makes you smile 

A large swooping flight then takes me

To a float above

The sun breaks 

I then let wind carry me over the hills

Air and time become the same there 

Everything is somehow still
In the longest pause I can imagine 

From here I can recognize
What is natural

That what is simple
Gives me strength

It is love 

I somehow know

Continue circling
from the edge out and back again 

It becomes a bigger silence

my own breathing
I no longer hear 

I recognize the beautiful invitation
it was always here

This incredulous flight of knowing 

That I was winged to let go of limitation 

Supported by the depth of the sea that will never end 

It does not require sight or a listen  

No effort
No struggle
Just to accept the here 

And then
i exhale

So quiet that those around me don’t
See me as I land 

A gentle descent onto the spot of grass nestled next to my son and daughter 

And in that moment 

I am left in wonderment at

A sky full of birds in flight

That have been here always 

Ready for me
Ready to fly with me 

As they have forever been lifted by
Spirit

Loved by a breeze that never ends

In both light and dark skies

The Flood

A silent song weaves stronger over the busied conversation I had with myself until now
It was in my head
Burdened by fear
One million details
Frenzied by orders and time ticking
But now
The song taking the stronger root after the flood
A breath deeper than I have known in a while
The exhale comes from the tall tree that still stands perfectly tall
How divine, how Divine
How can a call for resurrection and new life be violent in its arrival and then so quiet in its retreat ?
The River now laughs with me at her metaphoric impact
As we stand together again
She sings to beg that each second new in love for me
She Asks to drop the talk and fear
Don’t be sad she says
This flood a quick jolt to not forget that flowing never stops
This is nature changing its form
And so are you, dear one
Yes, yes, conversation is over
It is futile to debate
storms won’t argue
So now
In that quiet
is the knowing
The rock
The mud
The mountain
The tree and bird remain unscathed, back in song
I stop and turn around
The small bush in front is full of hummingbirds
Were there as many before I think, then stop my thought I because it doesn’t matter
What matters is what they do
sing, glow, connect
experience and love
The flood has gone
Sure in this life
There will always be a warning
But I have this prompt
This huge tree still stands
Children are safe
I protected them
In the end
so She did me
So I will rise anew
With my weary neighbors
In the early morning return
The glow of the moon is here for me
I will let it embrace me
And when today
talk of power confuses me
And it seems so real
Maybe
This force of cosmic shift will jolt me back
telling my heart to stop listening to anything else
But this silent song refrain
Resurrect to more meaning
Find the freedom
Where it’s been all along
Right here in your own yard

Here I just Am

Searching for my light 

Unstitch me
Dissemble from all my words to none
So silence and song can awaken my soul 

Walls of life have built up around what I was born into 

In my heart she is
Re Delivering my message now

clearly I can hear it 

A path so free and easy
it is hard to understand how I was ever off course 

Lost and dimmed it was
maybe not 

Loving awareness
Am I now

I practice discerning this day
until I can at night

Try I may to sleep and dream 

Knowing I can fully surrender to pure love there 

In accepting her pure joy 

I tear myself away from the crowd that stands still and follow the few that love the change 

Love the transformation

There a dance never ends 

And this warm light at the center of my heart steps out to say 

Here I just am
