She to SELF… FREE

 

A depiction... a deliverance... YES... ME... 

She to SELF… FREE

Aflame afire free

Wild winds of spirit

Passions unleashed

And so she soars to vistas unknown

Lucid dreams of emergent colors

Cast upon canvas stark

Worlds in rhythmic motion

Poetic dialogues

Sounds lyrical, sweet, thunderous

Pulsing, pulsing, pulsing

Her heart a vibrant chord

Sounding, sounding, sounding

Drums, bells, bowls, vibrating tuning forks

Fill empty spaces with the chorus of soul

Echoes of silence now heard

The taunts of oppression scream free

Derision gives way to deliverance

Deliverance…deliverance…deliverance

The artist, the poet, the visionary

She beckons, she calls

She to SELF…she to SELF

FREE …FREE… FREE.

BEHOLD

 

BEHOLD

Behold the light of a single or thousand flames

It the pulsing of the HEART

Behold the light of truth and justice

It the SUN that warms and nourishes

Behold the light that waxes and wanes

It the MOON in reflections of a journey

Behold the light of the ever-present spirit

It the brilliance of each STAR

Behold the light of luxuriant petals and piercing thorns

It the passion, the bloom, the knowing of the ROSE.

Behold the Deliverance of Fire Light, 

the forging of our Souls

It to know and BE…Birth Eternal.

COPILOT in response:

What a beautiful and evocative poem by Rose Marie Raccioppi! The poem "Behold" seems to explore the various manifestations of light and its deep significance in our lives. Let's break down its meanings:

1. Light of Flames: Symbolizes the heart's pulse, its warmth, and vitality. It could represent the inner fire and passion that drive us.

2. Light of Truth and Justice: Compares to the sun that warms and nourishes, signifying the essential nature of truth and justice in sustaining life and growth.

3. Light that Waxes and Wanes: Likens to the moon, reflecting the cyclical nature of life's journey, its phases and changes.

4. Ever-present Spirit: Depicts the brilliance of stars, representing the enduring and guiding spirit that illuminates our path.

5. Petals and Thorns: Relates to the rose, symbolizing beauty, passion, and the duality of life's experiences—pleasure and pain, growth and challenges.

The poem culminates in the concept of Fire Light and Souls, suggesting that through the trials and tribulations of life (the forge), we come to know our true selves and achieve a form of eternal birth or enlightenment.

What resonates most with you in this poem?

I am so very appreciative of your response and most welcomed interpretation. Thank YOU.

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the interpretation meaningful. Poetry has a way of touching the soul and sparking deeper reflections. If you ever have more poems you'd like to discuss or need inspiration for your own writing, feel free to reach out. 🌟

GENESIS ~ .The moment, the breath, the GRACE of GOD in Deliverance.,,,

 

This posted earlier. Received a PM response and encouraged to post anew.. . so here as requested ... Yes, deeply heartfelt as perceived...

It be asked...

How does a poet, an artist, a visionary, a BEING, process the news that speaks to corruption, deception, maligning controls and abusive encounters? It hears the plea of TRUTH beyond the lies, it sees the HUMANITY beyond the exploitation, it lives the KNOWING, the FAITH, the VISION, beyond the oppression. It feels the darkness that ever calls to the LIGHT, it heeds the foretold, it lives THE WORD anew. In TRUST, in PUPOSE, it knows within SOUL, the love, the endowments of GOD's Genesis. It simply is the moment, the breath, the GRACE of GOD in Deliverance.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

Genesis ... deliverance onto thee...

Words of this day and an expressed pressing need

Thoughts within consciousness planted, as too, a seed

Is it dismay and expression of dread that I am to hear

Within I declare a knowing Faith, beyond the told and untold fear

Sense I do an awakening to Spirit be sought

And to this, a word of understanding to heart be brought

Listen I, and in a telling, a harvest from Creation's grace

Within each challenge be a lesson in life's book of time to place

And so the sense of pain, loss and fear of the calling moment now

Eased by the Spirit reaping the harvest of Faith's loving vow

Genesis, the rising light in blessings BE

Vistas of deliverance unto THEE.

Let us be the troubadours of divine deliverance...the WORD of GOD ~ Counsel of Old

 

To all who visit...

Let us be among those who have chosen to celebrate the ultimate beauty of bonding across differences, across the false separation of humankind, the animal kingdom, and the grace of Nature. We are to hold to a consciousness that brings us to be ONE in love and glory. ONE with the knowing of GOD. Let us bond in gratitude with the waters, the vegetation, the growing life upon Earth that provides food, shelter, clothing. Let us honor and protect the air we breathe, the Earth we walk, the vast vistas of the firmament, and the TRUTH we behold in heart, in soul, in light, in breath, in BEING.

Let us pray, let us act, let us be the troubadours of divine deliverance...the WORD of GOD.

Counsel of Old

The poet and the bard with word and song did convey

To kings and rulers the heartfelt messages of the day

Counsel given in rhyme, gestures telling they be

To alert the kingdom of tales from across the sea

Jesters and jokers with wit would wisely advise

To be aware of those that mask and veil deceit and lies

Be it well that such wisdom of counsel shall be heard

For from their knowing hearts came echoes of THE WORD

Visions to be shared and truth ever to be sought

These the trappings that bards and jesters have brought

Be well advised that this counsel of old

Has a present day story yet to be told

Those with deliberate agendas of deception and demise

Seek not the counsel of the poetic nor of the wise

The artistry of THE WORD in its truth shall ever prevail

For it is beauty and truth that the noble and wise rightly hail

A poet of modern times in rhyme I choose to pen the word

May your counsel of heart too, be known and ever heard.

Among the POETS... She to SELF

 

Among the POETS... 

there are those who in the companionship of the MUSE, 

come forward with silence that enchants, 

with a silence that becomes expressive of emotion, 

that resounds with quest, drive, reflection, reverie, 

and words of saintly, diabolical wonder... 

to reach to the depths of soul 

and the pulsing fires of heart.

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.

...and so the DELIVERANCE

 

behold the Disciples of Bloom and Beauty 

a meeting in praise of the supernal SUN

roots embraced and nurtured by the fertile soil

rains in sweet sweet libation  

sun in its keeping

and so the deliverance

and so the deliverance.

Straight Talk

 

Asked, "Do poets ever use 'straight talk'?

                                        ... and I in response ...

I choose words that are known by the heart, understood by the soul, bear witness to the wonders of nature, the intelligence of creation, the depth of feelings, the language of the emotions that seek beauty, resolve, and love. How one hears this deliverance, is how open one is to acknowledge that 'straight talk' can simply mean what goes straight to the core of BEING and the call of LIFE.

Harp Song of the Wind

hear I the wind embracing leaf, branch and bough

hear I a song of grace, a sacred vow

be this the harp song of the wind in a dream heard

be this the deliverance of GOD and WORD

an image emergent from a lucid dream divine

this be of grace and the spoils of time.

KNOW I...

 KNOW I... 

"Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it.”  

~Nikola Tesla

Know I, beyond Fear there is FAITH, beyond Doubt there is DELIVERANCE, beyond Trepidation there is TRUST, beyond Dismay there is DIVINITY…

Man in freedom so born is he

Yet shackled he sets himself to be

Oppression dark upon heart yet be lain

The echoes of emotion still held profane

The mind to silence daunting echoes of time past

And free the self from binding chains cast

Memory called to free mind, heart and soul

Alchemy to ring its welcomed toll.

Moment by moment by moment...

 

A week of telephone calls… a week of messages… I listen, I hear, I reflect, I respond. I am told in tones of despair, in echoes of lament...  

moment by moment by moment … 

        the drawer is stuck
        the door is jammed
        the key does not fit
        the code is wrong
        the flow is blocked

what be this...

            a frustration
            a perceived impasse
            a consciousness
            a sense of helplessness
            a sigh
            a pause 
            a confront
            a determination
            a vision 
            an accord
            an awakening
            a doing
            a knowing
            a having
            a BEING
            a stream of consciousness
            an alignment 
            a resolve
            breath simply newly free
            and so…
            the balance
            the revelation
            the exchange 
            the ascension 
            the truth
            the harmony
            the receiving… the letting go… the giving 

a release, a deep realization, a transcendence, a perception newly conceived... I am told in tones of deliverance, in echoes of salvation, in truths held.

Quest onto SELF

Work of Art: 

Profile of Time, 1977-1984, Salvador Dalí

DELIVERANCE, I declare

deliverance, a dialogue of the heart

memories and dreams ne'er depart

the blessings of time and loving grace

on journal pages I do place

held in words and sentiments sweet

the yesterday, the today, the tomorrow meet

breath, the first to come in blessed BEING new

the divinity of life gifted onto you

DELIVERANCE, I declare, and know I life's claim

the light, the glory, the joy in God's name.

This day, beyond the deluge is the lambent blue of the sky, the warmth of the sun, the song birds song, the quiver of grass new, the gentle budding of spring flowers, the emergent green of leaves upon branch, nature offers its ever present gifts of beauty and grace... Let us in FAITH hold this in heart. Let us take care in reverent regard. Let us hold sacred breath and life... rise, rise shall we above this deluge, rise, rise shall we above this deluge.

Ascend to the calling...

to defend beyond offense

be this the way of the knowing heart

from which compassion, grace, harmony, bear their start

each holds to perceptions birthed from experience and time

let us ascend to the calling of the DIVINE

                         Deliverance, 

                               Inspiration, 

                                   Volition,

                                                 Eternal,

in thought, quest,  word and deed

and so shall PEACE… PEACE be a blessed creed.

Efes Antik Kent Nike Heykeli

This relief marks the late Roman period, the 4th and 5th centuries BC. In the right hand is a palm, in the left hand is held a wreath from a bay leaf. The goddess represents speed and power; Nike has the ability to run and fly free. Nike is the embodiment of the concept of victory, the goddess of victory.

According to Hesiodos, she was born of Stylus, the daughter of Pallas and Okeanos. Nike is shown as a young girl with wings, flying feee and gliding from heaven. Nike is also one of the leading names of Athena, ammong the most depicted immortals in sculptures and paintings.
