I feel blessed

I have had such an amazing year

Each ditty that has given me joy

Has occurred regularly

And it appears as if the overall picture is great

I have so much to be thankful for


But yet there are aspects missing and

A yen

That is overlooked


I realize this as it has been happening

Fun times

Smiles

Laughter

Connecting with a higher being through the beats laid down


But still there is an essential need for me that is unfulfilled

It is at the core


I will nurture myself on this level now

So I can have even higher enjoyment of all the blessings of joy that come my way in life.

Happiness and peace when reflecting into the

Past

Future

And

NOW

I have had an emotional past few weeks

I came to the conclusion that I am not living in my potential

And change is always scary

But I have never avoided change

And I have never been unafraid

And I have never been disappointed.

I came up with a plan

I covered all the angles

I did my homework

It’s been a long time coming albeit lost

In the weeds

In the daily joys

But stepping back and looking at my core

There it is

Like a potted plant neglected

Unwatered

And wilting


What was 4 weeks

Is now 3 ½ months

A journey

A homecoming

India


A job

My work

My mirror of apathy

This chapter is closing

I’m opening a new book

I will revisit the story

But things will be different

Less time

Less emptiness

Part time—HOORAY


It will be wonderful to have that waiting for me

for a sample of stability

I am forever grateful

It’s my nature


It will give me more moments to create

To dream

To turn dreams into reality


I will return

And see where the chips have fallen

It will be real

And I will be open

(and tan)

floating


I’m a feather

Light and airy
Flying into the wind coaxed with only a gentle breeze
pausing for a moment to adorn my destination

With only a slight shift I fly
target unknown

sometimes I stay
when the conditions hold me
but
moisture dries
mud cracks and becomes soil
ice melts
glue stays
…but the glue only holds
for so long
until it deteriorates

then I fly

I don’t know where to land
I have little power and
my intention in navigation shifts my course
but mostly allays my curiosity
of the unknown
For I am a whispy feather
surrendering control over to a force
beyond me

here I have stayed
grounded for some time
yet
the ice has begun to melt
I rest in moisture that clings
Clouds are clearing
Sun shining though
Here comes a breeze
I will fly

Absorption


A dear friend we walk and wander

Our passage ahead

Each foot bare set upon the earth of our paths

A glimmer ahead distracts individual

We part in honor of our pull


Time passes

What is time?

Our experience

Our growth


Hm m mm


Hey

Whoo…it’s you

Oh dear friend you are wet

As am i

Drowned with experience

Can you see the moist beads of each taste I gained as I grew and I learned?

Yes I do, said my friend

I feel drunk say she

Tell me more!


Oh here am I

I am drowned in the love

I saw the light and felt the flow

I was pulled

I couldn’t resist

what felt to be my

Truth

Spiraled deep

I was covered and immersed

I ingested and I swallowed

I lost air

In exchange for the liquid I took in

To my soul

Now I gasp

And I wonder

What is real

And I feel the damp

Residual

It doesn’t dry

It is here

The love remains

Oh my


My friend, say i

My

That is wonderful

I fear tho that I

In exchange

Have a muted tale to tell

You see

I open up my lungs

I extend myself in a way

that feels

Like a sponge

i feel FULL

But yet

I cling to every drop

Feeling full of the dew

Still

The light mist upon my skin

On the surface

It quells

It has sufficed

Yet I see

It is shallow in the depth

How is it that I feel rich with this hydration saturation?


Oh friend, say i

You are full

I am splashed

You inspire me

Now, though I tighten my pores

My exterior is ready as is the root

And the heart

but for now the latter two

Remain dry


Both remain waiting

For only the purest drop


As you, my friend

Have ingested
