Moonlight

what wonders hold up this sky

the tainted journeys of youth

bittersweet hues

keep me soft and sorry in your embrace

below my window

caught half in shadow is my smile

behind the rich tapestry

the velvet wove

beats the heart of a butterfly

child of the night

dancing silently in moonlight

violent storms brew loss

the evaporating hands of time

released

Evergreen

darling 

where the rippling beams of light

have jaded 

music plays

evergreen song

bring me home to your arms

tis longings throng

that made this merry dance

weaving spirit

lend me your ears

dance me to life once more

 to feel your gentle grace

belong

Love song to my children

when i am no longer here to wash away your tears

or wear your smiles as pearls

remember this song 

the song of my heart to your hearts

when sorrow inevitably shakes you from your clasps

i will be there still

wiping the tear from your eyes

holding your hands

smiling

knowing 

loving you always

remember you were made in stars

that lie scattered across vast continents

love has no boundaries

love conquers fear

love mends a thousand broken dreams

hold your hands wide to it

being your mother was my gift

to love

to life

honour life

treasure one another

stay together

dream always dream

believe in love

remember who you are

you were made in stars

and i am the whispering wind in your hair

The beauty of thy peace -John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5dqmUgu0SI&feature=related

Dear Lord and Father of mankind,

forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,
in deeper reverence, praise.

In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee.

O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by love!
interpreted by love!

Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.

Breathe through the hearts of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm,
O still, small voice of calm.

Shine

my bones ache

where you once stood

in my hand is a letter

worn with tears

for years gone by

old friend smiles

across the silent tear

replays our song

we once belonged

to the stars

love

i cried my heart to this quiet hate

memories swirl

billowing white ghostlike carousel

i set myself high

watching you walk across the field of gold

blue bursting from your eyes

i am yours

you belong to me

i belong to you

somewhere this place still exists

somewhere i am still that girl

smiling

in all my glory

for your outstretched hand

tilting my head from the sun

stroking the hair from my eyes

holding the palm of my hand against your face

always

always

smiling

somewhere you are standing

your back against a tree

casually

nervously

patiently

waiting

for life

meet me in the sunlight

i will wear poppies in my hair

i will shine

there

always

Glimmer

Earth quakes

bodies shimmer

senses burst

across the glimmer
 

beauty trembles

dances through

seeming

cloudbursts

me and you

rythmic dance

dervish spin

grappling fever

from deep within

tie me up 

with ribbons of fire

burn my soul

in your desire

Still I Rise - Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

Wind Whisperer

What you may say

is an aim to crucify

the quiet rush of flavours

the lips that speak truths

are brandished "witch"

hidden from view

violent tempests

dreams

Power is swallowed like a pill

made to condense into sweeter forms

behaviour is brought to silence

wounds are covered in haste

memory is tore

into digest able chunks

ready for the listening ear

i will not be silenced

from the truth

i will not be taught gratitude

for lies

i will speak

i will dream

i will dance

apologies will no longer drip

from honey sweet lips

i am wise

i am she that speaks

i am the wind whisperer
