She flows as the wind
Gently caressing
My skin, my heart, my essence
Enlivened
In unspeakable passion
I am incinerated
Only my ashes remain
Awakened from the dream
In her soft and wise words
My everpresent angel
Life is color
Seen through her eyes
Life is joy
Felt through her heart
Life is truth
Known through her Light
Life, wonder, loveliness
In the presence of my angel
She flows in the winds
Touching
Knowing
Living
As one
Chaotic dreams of the psychotic darkness
spill into this bright and beautiful new day.
“Why are there so many conflicting thoughts
and desires? Why can’t I make them go away?”
“Peace is in the eternal Mind of God.” I hear
myself with such wisdom and conviction. Yet
another voice, clear and present, also beckons
me thus “I need to be heard. I need to be
loved. I need to be filled. I need to understand.”
These needs, these requests, these demands,
seemingly reasonable and innocent, are the
reason for my lapses of peace.
“Show me the light of true wisdom, Father.”
I hear, unsure, which of the two voices
this time is speaking. Perhaps, on the other
thought, it is another voice. Three voices,
three conflicting sets of wants and needs.
The child needs; the Self knows; the
negotiator tries to make sense of it all.
“The negotiator has the final say. The
negotiator is the home of free will. Choose
well and with much care. Hear the others,
yes, and then, choose well and with
much care.”
Gladness and joy
Passion and peace
Celebrating blessings
All grow larger
All mean more
When shared with you
Sorrow and pain
Sickness and loss
Imprisoned in fear
All grow smaller
All are easier
When shared with you
Life shared
Joy amplified
Faith brightened
In your presence
In your care
In your love
In love with you
from the window of my heart
my mind cries out to you
remembering joy, bliss, peace
and longing for moments more
your lines are in my thoughts
sweet caress again haunts me
wanting another healing touch
living for the hope of a kiss
the first instants when we met
forever etched in my soul’s mind
colors sprang to new heights
in the presence of our love
tears stream from open eyes
in the certainty of your return
remembering, gazing out the window
in front of which you once stood
only your fair and soft hand
fits so perfectly in mine
as my kind and gentle heart
waits patiently for yours
From the first conversations
Strong winds blew my soul
Soothing this tired desert
Your kindness made me whole
Passionately surrendered
Through a waterfall of tears
You’re the one I so long prayed for
Days and months and years
Met you in my dreamless nights
Watched you from Creation’s view
Coming together, connecting, one
Beautiful union, precious and new
Distance made the days seem long
Storms and sorrows and fears to lose
Leaving burdens in the Cradle of Hope
In passion and peace, emotions confuse
But time and distance made us strong
Weathering winds and rains and fog
Learning the lessons while holding hands
Touch the turtle and smile at the frog
Seeking God in each new day
Sought His will, together we prayed
We lived in Light, in Gratitude’s way
Careful not to stay dismayed
Give and take, through push and pull
Chose to live and enjoy and laugh
Images and words shared as we walked
Poems and love notes and a tall giraffe
Living life each day with you
In days of rain, bright sun, or shady
Growing stronger as two and one
Learning to love my Lavender Lady
