Blue Moon

Blue Moon, Full Moon where are you today

The shivas are not here and you want them to come out and play

I looked between the pines when low

And saw your sweet seductive glow

I expected to see your entire view

If only just for a moment of or two

Blue Moon, Full Moon, can I have just a look

Shakti is not here to laugh or to read a book

Oh how I long to experience your familiar grace

The neighboring clouds moved to finally frame your face 

Your heavenly canvas now fills the entire space

Shining down for those that are present enough to embrace

Blue Moon, Mother Moon I know you came for me

I am dancing and chanting for each of you eternally

Silently you expand beyond your sphere then transparent ring

Allowing your grace to shine through the walls of my subtle being

You came to share your wisdom and your divinity

Making sure your moonshine reveals to me my sweet, sweet trinity

Blue Moon 2009-2010 Art of Silence New Year's Eve with mom.  This is me loving my children.

Standing Inside Your Eyes

Looking into your eyes 

The vastness of the universe reveals itself in a single glance 



Your eyes open me into this eternity



They penetrate into me


Mesmerizing my mind


Meditating my soul



A simple moment of recognizable connection

Noticing this infinite complex perfection



While your eyes expand me into the darkness of the night sky


They transform me into the tiniest of particles into THE ... earth... elements



Wide enough to stand into

Deep enough to swim into


Strong enough to hold my presence


Soft enough to open my heart



Your eyes lead me to the source that so lovingly longs for itself



Standing inside your eyes


Standing in the darkness of your pupils ...



I let go

I let faith


…and I let love

The Tree that Crossed my Path

The tree that crossed my path, embraced me in its silence

With its rough exterior piercing my hands, the other side, soft and smooth

Inviting me to be still in its grace

Your long limb pressed upon my breasts, upon the rhythms of my heart

The stone that called me to it, sat me down on its silence

With its heavy solid base to carry my weight

Reminding me of my bones while cooling my flesh

You supported my being next to the sunlit wooden bridge

The wind that caressed my cheeks, settled me into its silence

With the seagulls, hawks, and crows circling in this element

Allowing my existence to bubble up randomly

You entertained the objects of my senses

The creek that walked me to it, submerged me in its silence

With its sweet liquid flowing down the open crevices

Trickling into my exposed vulnerability and willingness

You captivated me to come and wander in the mud

Naked in the Woods

I walked naked in the woods today

No phone

No children

No friends

No conversations

No lingering memories bursting into my reality  

I didn't get far, but have to say

that being stripped down to the bone is not such a bad place to be

No guilt

No duty

No sorrow

No shoes

No contemplation from within

Just me and my bare feet mingling in the cold mud

Going places I've never been to on that same familiar path

waterfall

rainbow gravel

soothing puddles

cleansing grasses

touching my soles

touching my soul

All while being naked in the woods today

The Universe

The universe cannot be described by words, but today

Your kisses flickered into my existence

Your tongue absorbed my liquid essence

Your fingers embraced my heart’s coherence

Your soul reunited itself with mine

The universe cannot be defined by words I know, but

the way the branches surrounded the brows of your eyes

while the speckled oaks collaborated and applauded your image

the way the sky peek-a-booed the blue of your irises

while you peered into your reflection

the way the wheat colored landscape merged with your exterior

while the rainbows danced in your lashes

the way the wind orchestrated your breath

while whispering  their secrets onto my flesh

the path that led us  to destiny will not be forgotten

on the day when you tasted my sacred teardrop

The universe cannot be confined in words you see, but

I know the way the colors of my palate rearranged themselves

while my reality expanded with you in it

I know you became the

The tree

The sky

The earth

The wind

You became each one with me

Belly Button Love

From where you've come from

From where you go

There is this 

Where infinity flows

Is the most spectacular 

Dark, and mysterious beginning that never was

It's happening

Without effort

It's happening now

By the time you've read this

It's already grown 

The past is dead

It's already shifted

Your perception is in your head

From the center of your being 

From the womb that bore you

Transferring friction

To electrical pulses

Transmuting love

To a different dimension  

Hollow are the tubes

That fueled your igniting heart

Empty are the passageways

For you've passed through many

To participate and ponder

This experience called life
