Today's Lesson

A tiger can't change it's stripes.
Once a tiger, always a tiger.
No amount of magic
can untwist long worn stripes.
Same lesson, different day.
The universe speaks.
I listen.

Leap of Faith

Calm awakening in my soul.

Like a shimmer I feel your heart

Reaching, touching, pressing against mine.

Synchronicity, beating

Only we can hear it.

Like that shooting star,

magnificent whispers across the sky!

Flying, free falling now into your arms.

Wake me up, land me safely?

Butterfly kisses on lips speaking true.

Heart to heart.

Under the surface is where the truth drowns.

The lies entangled in language, missing, omitted,
hidden...

like most dark essence, is unable to withstand the light.

Trust goes by the wayside
as faith dwindles like an extinguished flame.

Even as the words of love and allegiance flow,
like smoke rising to the ceiling.

As they are spoken to me, the plume of lies grows bigger.

There appears to be no end
to the hurt perpetuated.

Time can heal all wounds, they say.

Time also can help us to see true.

The bright shining truth of impossibility.

Love glazing over the lies.

Shadows outlining truth, like the silver lining at sunset,
exposed.

Searching

The Burden of freedom
a view unseen

Memories of love
shattering illusions
making life taste of stale bread

More will come
as life chooses
in the ever changing
face of now

Presence is golden
Yet confusion reigns
where love is contained
as a prisoner of a limiting mind

In acceptance lies truth
clarity
vision
to be free
Unburdened by the love
Of all that is

Acceptance is the key
to the ever-Loving heart
It's grasp illusive
It's virtue undeniable
It's time
Now

Wings

The view is spectacular.
clear sight, awakening senses,
as I see you with new eyes.
The rush of uncertainty...
Finality, dancing between us like untamed electric current.
Golden threads of connection.
Hearts ablaze, raw, vibrating higher...
Forcefully turning away from the flame.
Changing, leap of faith...
Hands clasped.
Passing through the fire.
Asunder, Love remains.

Seeing

It’s subtle.
Like the sound of a shooting star.
Just as powerful,
When a heart breaks.

Love is patient and kind,
It is written.
Love is intense and can be difficult.
This we know too.

Truths flood in, screaming to be heard.
All we seek is happiness--
which is hidden in choices.
Surrender and creation is all that there is.

When you see love
written on the face of your love
by the pen of another,
All rules burn. Reason chokes.

At that moment the eagle is set free.
A star shoots across the sky.
A tear falls.
All things move forward as they are meant to be.

~Sagemyst~

Always chasing feathers on the wind.

My heart aimlessly wandering alone.

Until one day the eagle dropped his finest feather.

I reached up and stole it from the breeze,

Put it in my hair and called it home.

I liked the way it adorned me.

I liked the way its energy brought me to myself.

I had never imagined eagle feathers,

Always sparrows and hawks and wrens...

But the strength of the eagle was my fortress

My equal, my love….

The feather heavy now,

rests against my cheek

droplets gather there… salty pain.

That feather…

A storm proof shelter

So much between each fragile line.

Free to drift if not for the gravity of love.
