Sweet Surrender ~ and so I DREAM...

 

…and so I DREAM…

    in silence words be known, 

        in darkness light be known, 

            in a state of submission vision be known, 

                time bears no beginning, 

                    no end, it just IS - Inspired Spirit.  

                            and so the DREAM and so

                                                the Deliverance, 

                                                    the Revelations, 

                                                        the Eternal, 

                                                              the Awareness, 

                                                                the Manifest ...

                                                                        A telling, a beckoning... 

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."

YES, this night past... a dream... ever so real... as in moons gone by and this day present... Celestial Sea

Once again in flight across vistas near and far

Embraced by the light of the sun and a distant star

Upon a magical cloak of white

Traveled I through the night

And as the dawning came to be

I above the cresting waves of a celestial sea

Hearts across the horizon rise in praise

And I swept in the joy of awakening days

People of lands above mountains high

Sing their soul’s song to the intrepid sky

The harp song of the wind is heard

Be this the adoration of the WORD

A silent melody of love and lilting grace

Within my heart this soaring I to place

Heart’s chambers in pulsing passion divine

Awakened, awakened to the NOW of self and time

And as I record this dream awake so lovingly known

Blessed be the light, the light so brilliantly shown

We to sing as a chorus of divinity, peace and love 

Blessed be the souls of Earth and the heavens above.

Light of PEACE

To the vistas of spirit

Be this our ascension, our flight

To the vistas of a knowing grace

Wings hold to the divine light

Our hearts, our souls, blessed they be

Our quest, our word, our vision

Light of PEACE upon all land, ocean and sea.

and I within its cosmic journey
dream vistas hold to the night

...a dream... sweet surrender...

a dream
slumber's sweet surrender
mystical ethereal array
a casting call
for players of the light
be this the theater of my soul
a dream
slumber's sweet surrender.

The Call of the Season ~ the call of the moment ~ Passion

Passion
the pulsing
adventure
of soul of spirit
inspired by
omnipresent need
Passion
the very flame
that lights
the creative longing
the quest for purpose
the reach for knowing
Passion
the wakeful night
that looks to the stars
the moon
the rising sun
the promise of the new day
Passion
the touch of the sublime
the silent yearning
the one known
the beauty perceived
the moment present
Passion
what I dream
what I vision
what I feel as ME
what I know as SELF
what it is to BE.

Language provides an echo - it is not the original - words are representations, symbols, utterances, that the inner spirit longs to be known - to self - to others and to the ultimate SELF. As a poet, language echoes my heart's lament, my soul's joy and my spirit's quest to soar, echoes holding to praise and gratitude, a sounding sense of purpose.
