Warriors Lament

The stillness somehow deepens around me
Quiet movement, stealthy dark shadows shifting
Dim new day light just beginning to dapple the green
Sucking footsteps across the loam dank muddy ground
They come…
Heart thumping, sweat runs, eyes sweep the twilight
Alert near panic, I hear the clinking of their weapons
Quiet voices, language wrong, somehow I must know
Pull further down, deeper yet, [...]

The is Life

Colors, flashing, bright, rainbows spinning
A vortex of reality forced into my awareness
Combining to blind my eyes in its cascading madness
Sound, a roaring din of noise,
Voices hidden in the immensities of the silence
Silence falling with deafening chill on the ears of my soul
Flavors, biter, tart, sweet, sour
The biting burn of the acid eating its way inside
Lost [...]

Morning Dew

I walk out this morning, to a world draped in heavy dew
As I walked, awakening to the world, I looked behind me
I found the shape of my soul glistening in my every step
Looking into that mystical window showed me my true self
There, painted in my soul’s shape, I found a map of my life
Reflected in [...]

Circle of Soul

Sacred places
Held close
Forefathers live within
Guise of envisioned ghost
Dwelling within this spirit
Holding so we can come see
All the beauty of these lands
Where we all can wonder free
Bones turned to dust
Forming new layer upon the earth
New people walk upon
From this we are granted birth
This spirit place, held most sacred
For here is the people’s heart
No path can lead [...]

Namaste

I bow to the divine in you
I see the divine spark in you
As I see it in me
The duality of union
The belonging to the all
I honor where you spirit lives
I greet you in the common sharing
We are one
This place of love
This place of truth
Of peace
Equal in all things
All life striving for happiness
See the goodness in [...]

A Time For Growth

Daylight fades, and the darkness of night draws nearer
The damp evening air touches the hearts of the people
The old one notices, remembering living the old ways
The old ways, living in peace with all around them
Living in peace with each other, the animals, and the Earth Mother
The old one living now in fear
Fear that his [...]

Heartbreak

Choking back the tears
She must not see
Swimming awash in visions
All condemned to the past
But I loved her
Love her yet
Aching pain, harsh scorn
Words that cut and bite
Keep me from calling her name
Hiding from the fight
Heart broken
Lost
Look at her smile
Striding out to him
I bite my lip
Seize control
Anger builds
Hate seethes
What’s this I see
He shoves away
Casts her in the [...]

This Journey I Walk

I strive to learn, to listen, to feel, to see
Hear the magic in the wind, feel the love of its embrace
The gentle murmur of the trees filling the forest
And hold in your heart the cool shade they provide
Behold the colors of rainbow in the beacon of flowers
Hear the chattering of the butterflies flitting about them [...]

Vision Wisdom

Fire dancing with shadows thrown against the black of the night
Dancers from ages long past enter the circle and begin the song
Images leading me back and forth from the far past to what is yet to be
My mind searches as the spirits dance
Drums cadent to the heartbeat of the great mystery
Rumbling echo’s rebounding from canyon [...]

Gentle Gifts

Gray sky rolling above me as the light of this new day appears
No laughter from the birds, the whole of the world is stilled
Once more the clouds shed their gentle tears
The land drinks heavily of this mystery sent dew
Puddles replacing dust, proving irresistible to little feet
I turn my face to the sky, feel the gentleness [...]
