Bath Water
Under the stillness of the bath water
I hear only my own breathing,
in and out,
the greatest sense of meaning
His heartbeat sounds
of a soft vibration
in the quietness of my world,
my body, my nation
A murmur tells me
he has said something
the words lost
but transmuted to a feeling
on my skin, which tells me
that what has left his lips
is love as soft as the water
that caresses my hips

Ocean Waves
Under the stillness
of the ocean waves
her thoughts
faded away
the power of the
ocean water
bringing her back
to the source
where life itself
began to develop
a hundred million
years ago
and she reconnected
to all that is
and all that was
around her
stillness in her being
she came back to herself
as a sister,
and finally, as a daughter

Harmony
You are
my sun
your light warms me
from the outside in
I am
your earth
my flexibility and my currents
give you purpose
Together
we are
harmony

The Muse
Within her humility she soaks in his devotion
and looks down at him with grace
counting the beats on her guitar
as she begins to set the pace
music is her gold dust
which she sprinkles onto broken hearts
pouring light into the deepest cracks
which had been kept in the dark
with her voice she expresses the language of the gods
“you cannot separate the dance from the dancer”
nor the music from the musician
or the love, from above.

TRUST
I turn to the sea
where birds are set free
to fly from my cage
and escape for all of eternity
All I want is everlasting freedom
is that too much to ask?
to exchange my search for validation
for truths crystal clear glass
And finally, to be… still
amidst it all
above the barriers
where freedom reigns
***
Gaia
Here I stand opening myself
to you
As the sun runs through my veins
like honey
I listen to your heartbeat in the
crashing waves
My pulse at one with your pulse
as a baby in the womb
You who created me
be with me now in comfort
Wrap your arms around me
So I feel at home
This journey you have given me
as ever changing as the waves
every break different from before
Every ripple unique in form
and motion
everything… changing
Life is here with you
With us
Now
