Rising

    


Rising

Fragile as she enters
Soft beneath the skin
The solid edge it mentors
The souls that lies within

Her carried weight looks heavy
Though thin and weak she grows
Inside the tunnels long and dark
From fingers to her toes

And still you see her rising
Often lost along the way
She leads through storms and glowing suns
Through white clouds and the gray

While all along you question
Precarious as it seems
She makes it through the ups and downs
That lead to lakes and streams

And as she bathes she listens
To songs that from her past
Prepares her for the future
Moments calm and sure to last

Her solid wisdom rises
And meets the strength inside
For now she's entered golden fields
With nothing left to hide

One Thought Away

  One Thought Away One thought away from loving you It's always fresh, it's always new I want to share, you have no clue That I'm One thought away from loving you She lingers in the other room And listens to her favourite tune Please sit a while we'll be there soon We'll fall in love, under nights new moon We'll walk along, our hands clasped tight Down loves slow lane, throughout the night Our breathing deep, no end in sight With stars upon us, shining bright My gaze is deep, her sky blue eyes She looks I wait my thoughts surprise As we draw closer, our heartbeats rise We'll stay forever, or until sunrise She delights and dances as I walk by Her soft skin glowing, in the morning sky We'll love in laughter and sometimes cry In a field of flowers we shall lie And throughout the forests and in the town We'll call on spirits, won't make a sound She'll bring her heart, from what she's found And spread it like honey all around

Overcome

  Overcome   I take a sip, it’s smooth, it’s warm Then the window steals my thoughts Completely lost in the wretched storm The songbirds have been caught   Though not surprised, my cup in hand Shaking like torrential breeze Like strokes of lightening upon the land Illuminating ease   I spill a little, stain my sleeve of white Burning thoughts into my skin The sun no longer, clouds dark as night The rain begins to win   I close my eyes, to ten, inhale Then presence takes its place The air smells sweet, no longer stale Calm thoughts in my headspace   The heavy rain like music sings I sit back now mollified The storms exist as little things Answers come from deep inside   And so, I drink my cup of tea Songbirds are now released Each moment like leaves upon a tree Blusterous, and then find peace

"The Interview"

The Interview So - you've stumbled onto another "newbie" blog.  Well, this blogger is so glad you did!  But I expect, that with this being the first blog in "Peace of Mind", I am at the mercy of your initial evaluation, like a short interview and I will need to catch you with my fancy words, terminology, ideas and presentation.  I will need to resonate with your own thoughts and spark an interest which ignites an opinion, creative thought or relatable experience. After all, isn't that why we read these things to begin with? Interviews are typically arranged by the submission of a concise, professional resume followed by contact, and then results in a connection that focusses on a huge sell and a careful evaluation.  So, to that I will share my resume with you the reader, over a period of time. With ongoing writings and growing connections, the resume will show itself.  You have already fulfilled the "seek and contact" step and we know that conn
