A world that matches the soul

Some say I am lost in a dream,

in a world that does not exist.

But they are wrong. It does exist.

In the deep forests, the vast lakes,

the sparkle of the sea,

the blossoming of a wildflower.

They sit in their glass and steel offices

and laugh at me, calling me a child.

But one day, when life forces them to see,

really see through their eternal eyes

and not the cultured mind,

they will not laugh any longer.

For I believe that a world that matches the soul

is not a dream, but the real world.

The world that was always meant to thrive

before humanity learned to close their eyes

and call reality a dream.

Dawn’s Secret Ways

When I was born dawn’s secret ways

tattooed a map upon my heart.

Vivid rays impatiently drawing

every moment a butterfly’s wings

brushed the sun.

Until my soul was a museum

of extraordinary things

opening its doors

first to myself

then to the world.

Your soul

Your soul

is expressing

itself

inside you

like an underground

river

nourishing

a whole

forest.

Layers to your soul

There are layers

to your soul

no one but you

will ever uncover.

There are even

beautifully lit rooms

within you

that you might never

open the door to

unless

the darkness outside

forces you to.

Quiet, hushed, we grow, we heal

Quiet, hushed, we grow, we heal,

We learn to understand

That everything is touched by time

And time must run its course.

Quiet, hushed, we grow, we heal,

We carry our souls like a torch.

We mind our spark, we balm our wounds,

We bring our courage forth.

And when time is right we rise again

To reclaim our newfound worth.

You are linked together with the Universe

You are linked together with the universe
in an infinite cosmic dance
partnering everything you have,
and ever will experience
in parallel steps to your own existence.

Grace

Grace is like an eraser
Vanishing all stains and black splotches
Inked on the divine soul canvas
by the human ego.

Your life wanders through you

Your life wanders through you,
Lines of laughter and worry,
A hundred stitches of life,
Attaching moments to moments
On a canvas of skin stretched from
Beginning to end.
Conversations of silence and of words
Filling threadbare bags of years.
Carry it proudly, be with yourself, even in
Your loneliness, with all of your humanity.
For this journey is about you.
You are the life, you are the wanderer,
Wandering through
Yourself.

My solitude crossed your silence

My solitude crossed
Your silence
And suddenly,
The wind changed course,
Whirling
Outbound ships
Back to shore.

In the Depth of You

I drowned myself
In the depth of you
And resurrected
As a constellation of Light.

In your labyrinth
Of added lives
I became lost
In your trackless breath,
I rose and fell,
Rose and fell.
Until I merged
Carrying your soul
Upon my back.
