Surely, You Jest! (Almost the fool… again)

Preface: I wrote this last night in a fit of anger. I thought I’d found certain truths that matter of factly indicated deception.  Then, I re-thought it in the face of what I recognized as my own paranoia.  Then I wondered if I’d reached such a state of confusion that I could no longer tell [...]

Resting Place

If I could,
I would string a hammock
Between the stars,
Beneath the Moon
Above the Earth
Amidst the Heavens…
I’d climb in Heaven’s hammock,
Curling myself in fetal position,
Covered by the quilt of night -
Blanketed in twinkling darkness,
Cradled in comfort.
Rocking gently back and forth,
Swinging to and fro
From one dream
To the next.
Close the window of opportunity,
Hang a “do not disturb” sign
On the [...]

Opposing Forces

Want to reach…
Know better.
Want to cry…
Need to be strong.
Want to run.
Must face my fears Self.
Want to love.
It is forbidden.
Want to be loved.
Yet unworthy…
No, not unworthy,
Just not destined.
Destined…
to stand alone.
Crave a hand…
But fear the knife it holds.
Must move forward.
Want to travel backward…
~ It wants
What it knows
It cannot have ~
A fire sign dwindling
In a Water World
Where wind whips
and [...]

The Void

With one eye looking left,
One eye looking right,
The view is all encompassing.
A Caw escapes the beak
As black wings unfold
To carry me through time.
Wind in feathers,
Echoes and whispers in The Void,
I am transported.
For or against my will
Is as of yet undetermined
As the fabric of space folds – or unfolds.
So far back in time… And so far [...]

Autumn Leaves

Intro: A kind and wise man once said to me: “For everything, there is a reason – whether for a lifetime, or just a season.”  As the seasons change – physically and spiritually, and as certain losses appear to be inevitable, these words echoed in my head as I drove to work in silence this morning.  [...]

The Winds of Change

On the edge I stand…
Neither here nor there.
The edge of night
As morning dawns -
The edge of time
As seasons merge.
The edge of dreams
As sleep dangles before me
Oh, so close
And yet, so far away
On the edge I stand
Looking over the horizon
With Winds of Change
Brushing through my hair.
There are Whispers
Moving through the air.
Neither male nor female,
Neither loud nor [...]

Night Fog (another poem from the archives)

Intro: If I checked my calendars and sources, I’d know which natural disaster was taking place when I wrote this… probably the tsunami.  I wrote this back in 2004, but it’s another that rings so true to the “Five of Cups” Tarot card I’d drawn this morning, and with the way I’ve been feeling lately.  [...]

What is it? (A poem from the archives)

Intro: Here’s another I’ve found that seems eerily right on time for resurfacing, especially in comparrison to my recent writings and the Tarot reading for June.  A simple night of quiet reflections brings this out of the poetic graveyard (Good Goddess, I forgot I ever wrote this!) and into the travel bag for the journey on [...]

Untitled Memories, a poem from April ‘06

Intro: These are the peaceful moments I long for now… I found this tonight and I remembered the day. I don’t know why I didn’t give it a title, but since I didn’t give it one then, I won’t give it one now. I wrote this back in April of 2006 and just found it [...]

graTeful

Intro: This morning’s Daily Dose struck me… more specifically, one line in one of the referenced Tarot sources struck me.  It was the line that said something along the lines of, “… if you spend too much time thinking of the future, you’re going to appear ungrateful for what you have in the present.”  That’s [...]
