Mine

-
The dawn burst across the sky
Blazing ribbons of beauty I see
Dew upon the grass and trees
Softly the mist hangs in the air
Casting off the tendrils of the night
Birds from their nest take flight

I walk towards the rising sun
Gentle breeze against my skin
The smell of earth and nature
Filling my senses and lungs
Fingertips brush the tall grass
Hope filling my heart at last

The dew wet upon my feet
Flowers dance in the wind
Swaying to Earth’s heartbeat
The heavy fragrance of life
Beauty swells, a crescendo
Bursting forth from the light

Raising my face to the sky
All the pain I know now why
To you my path has taken me
You, my other half of soul
The ache of lifetimes merge
A dream you were, now to hold

In the distance I see your form
Time slows within my sight
I watch in awe as you move
Blurred within the light
I hear the Earth move and sigh
At last my love, you at my side

Together slowly we move
Each to the other, one path
In the light, no darkness to see
Time bends and sways before us
Culmination of all we’ve known
Reaping dreams our hearts have sown

Power and strength in your stride
Gentle steps on Earth I bide
In one space we slowly merge
You caress my face, and I your heart
We two, the same, fixed in time
Whispering one word together, “Mine”

Dear reader, I have for the last few months found myself struggling to put upon the page the revelations I have come into.  So many changes in my life rendered me unable to reign in my scattered thoughts enough to put them in a cohesive form.  I find myself tonight finally finding the internal dialogue flowing and felt I should take advantage of this state as much as possible before it evades me once again.  I ask for your patience as I do my utmost to put before you, my thoughts.  Because, as many rabbit trails as my mind may possess, what follows may seem to you without conclusion or may seem disjointed and without a connection. A new revelation of what it means to be 'unconditional' came to me one afternoon after I read an article concerning judgment.  This article created a new understanding in me concerning the state of being 'unconditional.'  It is this - to be unconditional one must be able to accept all in their present moment as they are without expectation

It's Been A While

I know it has been a long while since my last posting.  I have been lost and am slowly finding my way out of the darkness.  Losing my mother has been the hardest thing I have ever walked through.  The main reason is that my mom was my grounding and shield.  I did not realize how much I depended on her presence in my life, whether I was with her or not.  The very knowledge that she existed brought such peace to my soul. I knew I could pick up the phone and hear her voice anytime I wished. I could see her whenever I wanted.  She was here. When she became sick, and I moved to take care of her, it was helplessness I could never have imagined. To watch someone I love die slowly and know there was nothing I could do to stop it was debilitating. I could only make her life as comfortable as possible. Dementia is cruel and horrifically unkind. After we had to say goodbye, I was utterly lost. I couldn't save my mom. She was gone. The regrets, waisted time, 'should-haves' and 'cou

Where Do I Go From Here?

I am at a loss, dear reader.  How do I express myself when I struggle daily to understand my world right now?  I have never been here before, in this state.  This place is new to me and holds no security for me.  I am scattered in a million pieces, trying in vain to keep them together for any length of time.  Grief and pain fill me some days, and other days I feel normal if there is such a state.  It has taken me months to bring myself to this place to be able to write again.  I wonder if this too is in vain.  I believe I am afraid of feeling the pain which writing will bring.  But, maybe in doing so, I can begin to heal. I have lost my mom, dear reader.  She is finally at peace.  She left this existence October 24 as I held her face begging her to stay.  It was only she and I in her last moments of life.  Reduced to the child within, I kissed her and asked her not to leave just yet.  Yes, I was so very weary, but to live without her was a thought I could not bear in her fina
