Wild Woman


There is a wild woman within me.
She travels the earth, soaring in the skies, blazoned by fire, and gliding through the waters.
The rain kisses her cheeks, drenching her soul, reviving her.
She wraps herself in the forest growths and a shroud of darkness, clothed in their protection,
The fragrance of herbs and elements caress her skin providing her a sweet perfume.
She runs through the wild abyss, her path coursing through my veins.
Around a ring of fire, she dances and sings, bathed in moonlight and stardust.
Surrounded by wisps of smoke, weaving through her fingers and hair,
The ancestors whisper to her, sharing secrets yet to be known to the world.
She is the guardian of their secrets, seeking truth and delivering their messages.
Outside of her earthy haven, the venom of the ill-hearted constricts upon the soul.
Gazing toward the moon, beating her breasts, she lets out an earth shattering cry.
Her battle cries rattle my bones, shaking me to my very core, awakening my spirit.
She fights for the light, standing against malice and deprivation.
I listen for her calls, her cries breaking through the heavens and the hearts of others.
She calls for silence and solitude.
Openness and togetherness.
She calls for us.
For the discontented, restless, and broken hearted.
The free spirits, bohemians, and misfits.
Join with her. Fight alongside her.
Blend our battle cries into a melody of fierceness and boldness.
Shake the world with our melody, breaking the grasp of bitterness and ignorance.
Run with her. Soar with her.
She takes on to heights and depths unknown before. Shattering our preconceived horizons.
Awakening the soul, mind, and life within ourselves.
She darts to another corner of her realm, staying the course, covered in mystery.
This wild woman remains within me.
She is my wild woman.
I am this wild woman.

Within the Circle

In the darkness my heart beats with the drums,
My spirit lifted upon the winds of the flute,
Whispering through the flames.

In the stillness images appear spoken from the heart, dancing in the air
A silenced mind, the spirit conversing with the universe
Listen to her words coursing through, exchanging energy

Sounds of ancestors and times past echo within
Returning the spirit to its original creation
Mixture of earth and soul renewed

Waters rushing, flames consuming, smoke surrounding
All the woes fleshed and fallen
Strength and peace emerge glistening in the new day

Mine Alone

My mind wanders, reeling with fears of the worst
Time passing slowly, dauntingly
If only life could jump ahead
Questions answered, solutions found, worries quietened

Strength tested and pushed to new limits
All that was known, turned and changed
Unfamiliar and trying, time is only sparingly vacant
Adapting, learning, struggling unceasing

Fear becomes all consuming whilst the mind wanders
The load weighs heavy to shelter my new charge
Mustnt show my lapses, must remain strong beats the song
Heart fights the battle, distracts the mind, and hides the difficulty

Are these fears shared with my charge, I dare not press
Guilt accompanies such curiosities, how dare thee ask
Shielding from extra burden, enough is there
This is mine to bear, a chance to return all the care

Sweet Serenity

Life, with all your uncertainties, how terrifying you are
Your pain often overshadows the joys
Always reminding us of our vunerable states
Laughing at us as we fall apart and must rebuild

But you O sweet serenity of death
Always so welcoming to embrace
As I cry out in pain and my fears overwhelm
It's your sweet voice that comforts
Reminding me of our fleeting shared moments
And the calm that you are

I'll never forget the strength you've provided
The sweetest peace I've ever experienced
As one day I'll join your side, never to part again

Calamity

To call me back again, to force me back
Is against my will, against my soul
You long to hurt me, to bend me to your way

You surround me, smother me
If only for a moment
I gasp for air, claw for release
To be free of you, O calamity of mine

You may break me in a thousand pieces
I will not succumb to your ways, to your manipulations
I will not, no, I will not

My spirit will not remain caged
I will break forth with new found hope
As I am called into the light
Basked in it's wondrous glory that is all
I will know I am free, I am free

Haunted

Too many memories lurk in the darkness simply waiting
Past pains deeply etched in the crevasses of the mind
Silhouettes of persons and times emerge from the shadows
The psyche's pleas for mercy go unheeded

Consumed with cruel vestiges of time
The haunting presence forever burned into my soul
Memories transfigured into forms of terror
Events in time and persons once trusted

A disturbed mind so tormented
Unwarranted vigils to the past now indelible
My mind's futile escape from itself
Leaves me clinging to shattered moments of refuge

Sweet refuge, hiding me from encroaching shadows of time
Your watchful eye lingers only awhile
In those moments, the hauntings are forgotten
Until the tide turns and the mind is flooded once again with darkness

I am left forever haunted

Transcendence



Universal connections gleam inspiration and knowledge unknown before to the untrained mind 
Enlightenment hidden within the mortal and quiescent forms, frequently chased and rarely discerned
A never ending quest for sentience brings forth harmony to the universe within us
Granting change and freedom to our minds and bodies, forever sought after

This powerful bodhi of the universe awakens our souls, transforming our beings
It is within this new self that the universe's secrets are learned and we are mastered
Release worldly ideas and aims, align yourself with the universe and your body will follow
Transcend the depths of what is known and regain your rightful self

Break Out

Life drags on as time passes us by.
Just as the busy hussle and bussle of lives
Revolving around money leave without us
Who have ideas for a more simple life.
How many stop to ponder the ways of the world
Or enjoy their numbered days? Our selfish
Pleasures take hold of too many these days, trapping
Us in our bubbles to be popped when economy drops
Again or when our mates discover our affairs.
So just when will we wake up and enjoy the
True parts of life and begin to think.

Life

I hear the birds chattering to one another and I 
Thank the Lord for blessing me to do so.
We take life for granted too many times, never 
Realizing how precious our time here on Earth 
Really is until our life is threatened.
We believe that we will live forever, risking to
Lose irreplaceable moments with loved ones.
Take time to smell the roses in your life before
They are wilted. Drive the scenic route of life
Before you cannot drive any longer. Thank the
Lord for everyday of your life
Because you never know when your roses and 
Driving days are gone.
That's why I praise the Lord for saving my life more than once.
