AWAKENED

 



AWAKENED

awakened to the brilliant light of the SUN
to the sweet sound of the song bird song
to the embracing warmth of the morning air
to the gentle wind that dances the leaves
to the pulsing silence that is breath and BEING.
awakened to this day, this moment of time
to the gift of grace and the blessed divine
to all that life beckons to be known
we the perceiver of what is given, what is shown
alchemy ever calling to the quest within
be we one with soul, beyond all false sin
awakened to the reach of hand, heart, a knowing wise
to the TRUTH to banish betrayal, deception and lies
to the past, to the present and what is yet to come
to the resolve, to the light, to a known PEACE as ONE.

O N E...


 Awakened to the dawning new... to the resounding silence... to

ONE
It is the silence that is heard
The din holds blind the given WORD
It is the heart that seeks and finds
Beyond the trappings of the mind
It is the soul in its knowing care
That soars beyond the darkness of despair
Each season a crescendo of time
Constant be the call to the divine
It is love eternal in its gift of grace
That brings as ONE, all time, all place.

Lovingly Present


"Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born."
~Albert Einstein

Indeed… Curious C H I L DR E N…
the seeking, the searching, the exploration, and known be
Creation, 
                    Harmony, 
                        I AM, 
                            Love, 
                                Deliverance, 
                                    Revelation, 
                                        Evolution, 
                                            Nurturance,  as I imagine, as I choose to BE.

Lovingly Present
Memories within her fibers deep
There rests her inner child asleep
A young girl of imagination now grown
Yet in remembrance of all ever known
She is spirit free of confine
Reminding me of liberation mine
Ever embracing, discovering, initiating a knowing wise
Understanding those who may beckon demise
And so in joyful encounter she chooses to be
And awakened remains lovingly present within me.

A W A K E N E D ...


A W A K E N E D ...

Awakened to the flutter of wings
Awakened to the song bird song
Such lilting grace to greet the dawn
Rising light upon bloom and tree
Wondrous joy in all to see
Nature in its expressions divine
Breath of Being ever yours, ever mine
Hold to the blessings of sounding grace
Within our hearts to lovingly place
Be these the gifts of our days
Creation’s love in soaring PRAISE.

A W A K E N E D



awakened to the voice of the wind
a calling to dance the silence
a calling to heed the whispers of the heart
this moment of breath in life's embrace
this moment of BEING in PRAISE.

P A U S E ...

      



A deeper breath ... a meditative moment ... sweet silence ... an embracing PAUSE... and the calling of
                                Passion
                                          Ascension
                                                        Unity
                                                               Soul
                                                                     Eternal ... be heard...


gone the echoes and laments of days past
anew BE this mind, this heart, within soul cast
a child of the universe and Creation's grace
ever evolving within the depths of soul's place
confront and resolve be the calling command
within this faith held is libation's hand
nature's knowing and guidance true
life in new splendor brought on to you
shackled no more for I am free as the wind
silent no more for I am the thunderous storm
despairing no more for I am the dawning day
thirsty no more for I am lakes and rivers clear
lost no more for I am each guiding star
confined no more for I am vistas wide and far
hungry no more for I am bounty and harvest divine
this the awakened faith mine
the awakened
the awakened
the awakened faith mine.

listen to the pulse
echoes of resounding earth
awakened is Spring.

Chamber of the Night


I in the chamber of the night
under the shroud of sleep
timeless moments
inner realms dispelling limitation
all pervasive Being
above Earth's plains
beyond all mountains
in flight across the heavens
held not by gravity
within the burning light
that cannot be contained
the shroud of sleep lifted
and I awakened to time
a vibrant peace
an all sounding silence
knowing
I shall descent no more
into the lower realms
of deceptive thought.

...this very midnight hour...Swept By The Winds


awakened by the winds and the chimes that sing
chilled by the cold this night does bring
snow in mounds yet pure, untouched and white
swept by the winds in swirling flight
winter's call known and heed I it well
each snow crystal to sparkle and beauty to dwell.

Lunar Light ~ Awakened


awakened to the stillness
two hours past the midnight hour
the silence of the yet dark early morning
awakened to the lunar light of the winter solstice
pulsing corona
embracing hues of crystalline gray, blue and violet
drawn I to this orb of luminous lure
awakened to the soft feel of the cold wind upon my face
to the journey of clouds
to the fullness of the shedding light
the towering oak casts a shadow
quiver it does upon the garden walk
and I in shadow cast
awakened
awakened.

In This Hour of Sunset


No earrings, bracelets, necklaces or rings need she bear
Yet fully adorned and crowned in God’s loving care
Free of shackles and constraint of body and soul
Within all treasures and a found goal
She honors life in all its glory
Each moment now a complete story
And when she records with pen a line
Awakened and felt is the sublime
Who pray tell is she
She is the I introduced to the me
And in this moment of quiet reflection
She sees all of nature in full perfection
The warmth of the summer setting sun her hand does feel
And what is so distant is now and real
No greater or lesser can this presence be
The I known here, now, in this moment to me
The deep breath of Being in great abound
In this hour of sunset the I has found.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Above Earth's Plains


Under the shroud of sleep
Timeless moments
Inner realms dispelling limitation
All pervasive Being
Above Earth's plains
Beyond all mountains
In flight across the heavens
Held not by gravity
Within the burning light
That cannot be contained
The shroud of sleep lifted
And I awakened to time
A vibrant peace
An all sounding silence
Knowing
I shall descent no more

Into the lower realms
Of deceptive thought.

Awakened


Swaddled
in the warmth
of summer night
Crickets calling
to the silence
Stars
and wisps of white
don the sky
The light
of the crescent moon
dispels the darkness
And I
awakened to behold.

Words Like Roses



Words like roses

delicate

passionate

fragile

a lingering sentiment

that touches our heart

awakens our sensibilities

and in silence

our soul sublime.
