Lovely is this moment in time
A fleeting whisper in one’s mind
The songs of divine holy in tune
Bring happiness and gratitude

Embers glow within the ash,
Moments fade in shades of grey
A painterly expression of the past.
Within the creation fires spent
Still hangs an iron pot, her
Troth of sacred secrets simmering.
Silver smoke whirl tendrils
Twist in spiral infinity eight
Whispering words of magick cast.
Conviction rides on winds of North
And out on East’s fair cloud,
Dreams of velvet passions bathe
In lusty moonstruck shimmering.
Outer inhibitions shed as Summer
Sol nods his head, laying golden veil upon
Fallow fields of tender hearts at rest.

While Autumn days are passing by
Remember those you’ve left behind
Arise from silver ash conviction
Believe in dreams, spread your wings
And fly.

With each breath, I do take,
Awake, my spirit awake
Strength of heart, soul and mind
This is what I receive from the Divine
On my path as I greet each day
The world is renewed…Namaste

Brilliant fire of creativity burns inside her,
Ancient winds whisper encouraging words
of divine communication.
Water flows a crystalline stream of
wisdom and enlightenment, while
Earth bears strong roots to steady her ground.
Her center and spirit formed of all quarters
A balance of Universal infinity, beaming
from within a six-rayed star of Love.

Her heart is held within his grasp
As he spreads his wings to fly
Their love ebbs but a memory
Within his hooded eye.
When then her thoughts turn
To glass the cloak of blue unfurls
As birds of a feather to the nest
Heart and soul unto him she curls.
The wounds run deep from a shared past
Two hearts are shorn by bitter blade
But grace and strength are deep within
Hold fast to love, a gleaming precious pearl.
Oh Lady Luna, shine down upon thee
Spark fire to all that they dream
While days turn dark and back again
Willows whisper parted lovers’ sighs.

It started as a tap, a light pitter pat
Then the sky became dark and gloomy
Deep clouds rolled in, and the air became thin
While her mind became lost in a dream.
It will be alright, trees started to bend
And the birds alight from branches to fly
Not a sound, not a twitter, instead a low hum
Body electric, sparks lightning, she’s undone.
A rustle of silk, it’s merely a whisper
Porcelain skin floats above ribbons and lace
A crackling light, cuts across the expanse
Acquiesce; it’s mirrored in her whimper.
The tympanis sound their bellowing rumble
A warning flourish of the apex yet seen
Curtains of certainty slice down from above
A rhythm of beauty, joy and pain in her being.
Emptiness filled with the crack of his thunder
As the whirring of destiny imprints a fiery mark
While the winds whip in tandem, bold strokes
Of his hand, her body and mind glow in wonder.

I grasp the stars, I climb the moon, that’s all I need
Freedom mocks me, calls me, spins me, who are you
I choose you, I choose the ocean of emotion, I choose you.
You are the sun, you are the rain, you are the night
Freedom mocks me, calls me, spins me, I come to you.
Rain, that’s what we need, thunder, lightning, that what we need
Flash blue electric, freedom binds me to your soul, who are you
I choose you, I choose the ocean of emotion, I choose you.
You are the sun, you are the rain, you are the night
Freedom mocks me, calls me, spins me, I come to you.
You are the sun, you are the stars you are the moon
Thunder and lightning lulling me, eye of the storm
Waves of screaming tumultuous ocean, undulating emotion.
You are the sun, you are the rain, you are the night
Freedom mocks me, calls me, spins me, I come to you.
I choose the thunder, I choose the lightning, that’s all I need
Freedom mocks me, calls me, spins me, who are you
Flash blue electric, freedom binds me to your soul, who are you.
You are the sun, the stars and moon, you are the night
Waves of screaming tumultuous ocean, undulating emotion.
Rain, that’s what we need, thunder, lightning, that’s what we need
Flash blue electric, freedom binds me to your soul, I come to you
Screaming ocean of emotion, eye of the perfect storm.
You are the rain…you are the rain.
