In the meantime it is still dark here so here is an Easter sunrise coming for you !

Passion

That which awakens your soul -

that which consumes you 

to the extent

that you pray it will 

never disappear. 

Yet...

eats away at your insides

as you recognize

that your passion 

is not acceptable,

not within Society,

not in this culture....

not in this world.

Photographs

Love taking photographs -

Hiding

So often I hide

all that is within me:

the passion, the tears,

the love, the fears.

To express feeling is to live

as well as to die.

Passion implodes

within my soul

demanding to be recognized

though nowhere to go.

It's easier to hide

and pretend

that we fit

until our eyes

meet another

who does not wish

to hide.

And our soul 

reaches out

hoping, praying

to be accepted.

Morning skies

Morning skies;

touches of pink;

clouds awakening

touching our souls.

Morning skies

called Spirit

reminding us

of gratitude,

humility and passion.

Passion for our lives,

our children,

our work.

Passion for our lovers

whether with us or not.

Morning skies

opening our hearts

into balance

reminding us not only

of love

but the loneliness

that can also pierce

our souls.

Oneness

Blazing light 

piercing the soul - 

a remembrance 

of Oneness -

of Humanity.

Gently caressing the mountainside,

silhouetting Spirit.

Such is the Sun

as it encompasses the horizon.

Such is your touch 

as I feel your passion.

Golden Sky

reflected within your eyes

trusting my words

acknowedging the inevitable.

The truth of life -

spirit within -

asking to be heard -

demanding to be touched -

knowing the Oneness 

within you and I.

One of my many watercolors

The typing cat

And I thought I was the only one that could type -

but aren't her eyes closed?

Meeting lips

She entered the room -

candles glowing, music playing.

Dressed in black - 

blond hair flowing down her back.

Her presence more than a body.

Her scent beyond comprehension.

As she moved

the energy moved with her. 

Intensity of the moment increased.

She danced and swayed to the Spirit inside

demanding Soul to connect.

No words, no song

just naked understanding

as she danced to the 

beat of my heart. 

She overthrew all

mental knowledge.

I understood nothing

but knew one thing:

my lips were to meet hers.

Happy St. Patricks' Day to all!

This stream used to flow through my backyard in Oregon.

The birds are standing in the stream.  

 Difficult to see due to the summer foliage.

Enjoy another jig-saw puzzle - click on the arrow in the bottom left hand corner

A New Day

Sun rises;

a happy hello;

busy people to & fro .

I stand on the hillside

watching below;

knowing in Spirit

that I must go.

I enter the world 

overwhelmed by emotions -

praying for angels...

watching the devil.

The world is a balance

of good and bad;

a tic-tac-toe

of emotional attachments.

I find myself

 set apart,

knowing answers

unable to be spoken

with a passion to love

too intense to be felt

and a soul praying

for love and compassion

as others fight

within themselves.

Oregon

Where I lived in Oregon - don't miss the rain but boy I miss the woods and there is a stream running under the side porch under the stairs you can see going up to the house.
