Prisms

Prisms of color are touching the
corners of my mind with images of
ferry rides across unsettling
oceans of water a transport to
buildings of monumental size and
walls trimmed out with barbed wire
uninviting and cold beckoning with
unseeing eyes holding lives unable
to live, unable to speak their
truth with no one to listen but
unmoving walls devoid of a heart
bereft of a soul because when you
enter your life is no longer your
own and your spirit apart alone

Spirit Child

Spirit child walk with me
alongside my life path
imbue strength to harbour
my soul a pearl rapt

Spirit child walk with me
attune to my every step
impart to me thy wisdom
our hearts entwined kept

This is dedicated to my youngest daughter whose Spirit gives me strength and whom I admire in her approach to life.  Thank you for being there for me. Thank You Adina.

Path of Spirit

Queries reminiscent,
searching fragmented,
timeless paths across
multitudes of soul
troubled landscape
destination of
Spirit unknown

Spirit Dancing

Glistening tendrils of curly hair twisting as tender grape vines  framing her face as sleep overcomes pulling at eyes and lashes bringing dreams beneath the moon a silver sliver of light spilling across a smiling face taking her running across sun drenched fields of wild flowers where serenity is never an  illusion but life’s continuing answer to Spirit’s dancing
music a soul’s peaceful step’s journeying

Spirit Dancer:  Native American Indians perform ceremonial dances (originally during the Winter months) to personify their respective guardian Spirits and participants dress in costumes that represent  those Spirits, for example a Bear, Wolf, or Eagle and others.

The Poet Will Remain

Dominions bereft of peace to
fill humanities’ soul whilst
hunger takes children’s lives
the next generation nill

Amidst all this the
Poet will remain

Tidal waves of destruction on
precipice the storms awaiting
advent taking all nature’s
beasts of earth, sky living

Amidst all this the
Poet will remain

Eyes of the Soul


Try seeing with the eyes of your soul to
imagine life upside down, inside out, a
life where animals that walk the earth
had wings to fly instead and the birds of
the air had legs to walk on the earth,
what would life be like then…
Phenomenal

Cats, dogs, horses,elephants with wings
to fly high above to play with the clouds
to venture to mountain tops covered with
snow, to see running rivers swift, lakes and
oceans to delight, confounding the senses
what would life be like then…
Mesmerizing

Birds transformed into creatures with legs
walking in fields of flowers, climbing to the
tops of mountains, traveling to the depths of
valleys, amazed at the smallest of creatures,
curling up to sleep in hay or on a bed
what would life be like then…
Serendipitous
