I’m in no hurry today

Time waits for me

I’m going to stay in this moment and play

For as long as I feel the need

I know when I leave this bubble

It will burst and be no more

I cannot keep it and preserve it

It’s not meant to be banked or stored

It’s a gift with an expiration date

That’s what makes them unique and rare

It’s our choice and we must take our pick

Pay attention, listen for the one’s that call

Appreciate the moments you can

Both the big and small

I can feel the world around me growing slippery

A structure melting vertigo

Tilting on its axis while gravity evaporates

Dislodging all the pieces of the puzzle like an anti-glue

Dissolving roots

And one day soon

There’ll be nothing left to hold onto

It all will be gone

Eaten by the hungry wormhole of time

And with nothing from the past in which to ground

You’ll find me floating amidst the new

An un unbound object in the vacuum of space

When desire moves the needle

Fear no longer stands a chance.

Confusion can’t hold a candle

To the clarity of the sun.

Upon the horizon will come the dawn

Lighting up their crowns.

The snake charmer

The lion tamer

The stubborn sage

Halts the crusade

Manifesting answers in his cave.

Partners may loath his methods

They are not easy those agree

But this is how he operates

When he prepares to sail a choppy sea.

Those around him only see a straw

That will break the camel’s back.

Only he knows it’s the last log needed

To float the raft.

He saw something missing

Those around him didn’t see

And without that lynchpin in place

The boat could not sail the sea.

The cohort fought him

Certain they had everything they’d need

But he knew the boat should not be launched

That it was not yet worthy.

The foundation wasn’t strong enough

To carry them to abundant shores

And when this realization dawned

Their resistance was no more.

The partners agreed

Only cohesive efforts

Would end their wait

And when the ship was ready

He too would concede

And make fortune their fate.

My heart aches to see your face

I miss the sound of your voice

Our connection

Your embrace

I loved you then

I love you still

Even if our time together has passed

The memories never will

And even if I love you

Too much to stay friends

I’m still sending you

My love like a hug

I walked to the top of a hill to be closer to source

To bath in the warmth nearest the sun

And place my bare feet on the grass

To ground myself in the Earth high above

I closed my eyes and listened to the universe

And was rewarded with a feeling of gratitude

A moment perfectly ordinary

And yet unlike any other

Overcome, I was moved to tears with appreciation

For such a gift

That so often goes totally unnoticed

I have a thought

And I make a wish

I dream a dream that it is mine

I feel the feels

Of fruition

And give my thanks

To the divine

Leave those disappointments

There is no more they can do for you

Atone and forgive

Take no prisoners

Place no blame

Wash the slate clean

No need for a victim

It’s not heroic to be a martyr

Nor is callous any better

And since one cannot be both

The oppressed and the oppressor

Let “good reason” go

Be neither

And free

I’ve always been good enough

I am perfect as I am

I am whole as I have come

There is place for me in this world

There is nothing I need

Or must do

No requirements to fulfill

To make me worthy of love

The sooner I acknowledge this as my truth

The sooner I will see what’s been here all along

Tethered by a gossamer string

Cosmic and unseen

I feel you in everything

I see you everywhere

A living, breathing mirage in thin air

Hyper-conscious and aware

Hearing your voice when no one’s around

Alone at our hangouts hoping to be found

Thinking you’ll walk through the door and astound

Waiting for fate and destiny

And free will to bring you back to me

And once again together we’ll be

Tethered by a gossamer string
