Poems~ To Love by


Shells washed ashore
Broken, tattered

Tossed about by the ocean

Into pieces they’ve shattered.


Yet, beauty exists.

Each piece plays a part.

Carefully Placed

They create a loving heart.






Love is my mantra

Love is my game

Love is my hope

Love's my real name.








Whittling, carving, shaping

Embracing

My wild tender heart

Finding new form

Growing, feeling

All there is to love





Woodfired cauldron

One Hundred and Eight

Pre-Dawn Soak

With my soulmate


My heart pours out

As I learn grace

All these new feels

He simply holds space


Radical self acceptance

Rising inside me

A paradigm shift

Honoring the She





Woke in Heidelberg

Free from shame

Herself she claims

Honoring her fire

Igniting flame


Self devotion

Owning emotion

Rising like

Waves in the ocean


Celebrating the rise

Joy in her eyes

Seems to me

2000 reprise


Wild and free

Learning to be

Now is the time

Honoring the SHE.





This moment

Suffering

Darkness

sinking in pain.

I must pass through this shadow to gain…

 

To gain peace

To gain light

All my love uncovering

I brave the dark times

To expose my soul to the suffering

 

Experiencing All there is

I gain depth and compassion

A cup full of heartache was only part my ration

 

For, before I could suffer
A pain of this weight
I had to know,

Something {that} great.

 

My heart is full

And I love to its depth

Consequently,

This means a deep and wide breadth

 

 

I have my memories

I honor my bestowment

I don’t need much more…

 

For, I have THIS moment.

 

And I choose to live fully,
