Love Supreme - Poem

I am so very thankful

for pain

for the opening

and the closing

for the windows and the masquerades

and

for the temple of blessings

that I walk through

everyday

life is a grand echo

of all that we allow ourselves to exist in

energy reflections of who we are

you don’t get what you want

you receive what you GIVE

I am in love with peace,

And apples,

And friendships that are quirky, and kind, and non-judgmental,

And oversaturated with

Communication

It’s ok to be who you are

I love who I am

Let us continue

To embrace

The light within

And remember the embers of hope,

Compassion, honesty, and courage

When we sit around the camp fires of each moment

In breath, movement, and speech

 

we are all castle-builders

reaching up

marching inside, marching inward

 

rockin out!

to an anthem called

 

“Love Supreme, love supreeeeme, love supreme, loooooove, supreme, doo dee dah dah dah dah…”

Golden Light Bucket Parade Beacon Coat - Poem

What I wanted to say

I don’t remember

What I am saying is that

I am letting go

Of strife

Of attachment to delusional, quicksand commitments

The effort

The triangle

The big obtuse

WrenBabyLoveBucketSun

The high of the week: black dynamite + chamomile tea

Low of the week: the pearl in embers

Center: gratitude

Life is changing

I am becoming her

The windscape I’ve always wanted to become

The embrace is sweet

The peace is monumental

Love is holding my hand

And her hand is warm

And consistent

And calm and

Honest

And communicative

And I have fallen into a bed

Of lilies

Looking up at the sky

Sending up thankfulness

And rainbow love energy thoughts

For the whole world

To ignite their fires

Together

As One Cheyo Circle

To see the bucket of Golden Light

Within

Poem - turtle & i

i lived in a dream world

most of my life

most of my life was a

stream world

of chaos

and calm emancipations from escapism

 

why do we choose to be shackled

to our pasts

AND OUR FUTURES

in all this doubt

is where the bad spirits live

but turtle and I

are soul mates

and we journey on together

like mother earth with the horizon

we hold hands

unbroken

unwavering

and timeless
