With You

I want to share this for dVerse ONL.  It isn't one of my best poems, but it is one of my most earnest and deeply felt.  I have been blessed with an amazing friend - someone I can talk to about anything, but who also understands because of similar experiences and ways of thinking.  I wrote this for her...

With You

“There is a friend closer than a brother”

With my friend I have run on silken feet

Through the moonlit gaze of snow-kissed trees

Followed scents, winter’s stillness to greet

Together, loosed the coral of our hair

Swaying with the ocean’s lullaby

Dived as one to drink of untouched depths

Sung with joy the whale’s timeless cry

We’ve broken bonds that chained us to the earth

Communing through the silent stratosphere

Clung to understanding’s feathered vanes

Dared to seek the sun’s refining sear

And as we’ve wept from dark and twisted paths

Mingled tears have drawn us to the Light

So we wash the grime in rivers of Truth

See - her soul, like an opal, shimmers bright.

Streams of Thought

Do you ever have those moments of thought, perception and harmony that take you outside yourself?  This is how I describe them. :) I was reminded of this by the contrast of colours in this week's Magpie (Thanks Tess - I needed that reminder!). 

 This is something I also want to share for Open Link Night at dVerse.  I would love some constructive feedback, but I also have a desire to give this one a voice, so thank you, Natasha, for the encouragement to do just that! 

Streams of Thought

Floating

Silent stillness

Quiescent phrenic balm

Beneath the surface chatter

All is calm

Unfurling

Colours flicker

Swirling streams align

Auroral dance of consciousness

Shimmers beyond time

Wordless

Complex laminae

Resounding from afar

Atomic vibrant thought-pulse

Streaming to the stars.

Sparking

Strands entwining

Lightning static flash

Voltage shocks photonic fuse

Glorious cosmic lash.
