Our Birth Eternal ... 2018

Within the age, the century, the decade, the year, the day, the moment...

Be it a myth... be it an ancient story retold...

 is it not of spirit,  of faith,  of a knowing wise,  

that LIFE is CREATION, and BREATH,  

the receiving the giving… 

as we embrace what IS,  as Inspired Spirit, 

so be the SELF and Purpose known. 

2018 BE our Birth Eternal… 

to purpose, to the very breath of receiving and giving, 

to the depths of JOY in BEING.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

The SOUL as Muse...

YES, there is a Muse for poetic expression... for delivered by the SOUL be...

       Splendor
              Omnipresence
                     Unity  
                            Love 

... and so the poet listens to the knowing SOUL, and beholds words of praise, beauty, truth, and the grace of BEING.

L I G H T ...

The sun, the moon, the stars... light that nourishes, light that celebrates, light that inspires... and when the spirit of light is held within our hearts, be this the Glory of SELF in expressive love.  

~ Rose Marie Raccioppi

And so shall we behold the L I G H T ... this a season of Grace... let it be ...

Love 
Inspiration 
Gratitude 
Harmony 
Truth ... and all in PRAISE.

The First Day ~  Light

…2The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. 3Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.… Genesis 1:3

Stairway to Heaven ~ Led Zeppelin... ""...How everything still turns to gold..."

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

As I listen, the last lines become known deeply... an intent of identity... ".

"...And as we wind on down the road 
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show 
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying the stairway to heaven."

Songwriters: Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

The Dawning Light

the scars of abuse upon this mind
the echoes of taunts within this heart
the shadows dark upon this soul
momentary be their reign
momentary be I their prisoner
for within lies the power of resolve
for within lies the light of the Omnipresence 
for within lies the liberation of spirit
the scars of abuse dissolve into understanding 
the echoes of taunts resound with compassion 
the shadows dark ascend to the dawning light 
and I in the Willful Presence of BEING.

She to SELF

She to SELF

Aflame afire free

Wild winds of spirit

Passions unleashed

And so she soars to vistas unknown

Lucid dreams of emergent colors

Worlds in rhythmic motion

Sounds lyrical, sweet, thunderous

Pulsing, pulsing, pulsing

Her heart a vibrant chord

Sounding, sounding, sounding

Echoes of silence now heard

The taunts of oppression scream free

Derision gives way to deliverance

She beckons, she calls

She to SELF…she to SELF

FREE …FREE… FREE.
