A Feather at My Door

a hawk's message I now to heed

life as ascension be the living creed

rise aove the trial, the travail

in soaring spirit your love to prevail.

to·tem/ˈtōdəm/
noun
a natural object or animal believed to have spiritual significance and adopted as an emblem.

TOTEMS...

If indeed I am the RAM, opposition holds no fear
If a FROG, I am confident in my transformation
If a DOVE, I know the power of peace
If a ROBIN. I am itself splendor
If a TIGER, I am protection
If a HAWK, I am the soaring flight
If an EAGLE, I live freedom's quest
And as ROSE MARIE, I am passion's flower of the sea...

TOTEMS... TOTEMS...ONE and All I BE...

The ROSE

What longing lore of love do your petals enfold
Your sweet seductive fragrance I to behold
Bloom in rapture and radiant red array
The kiss of waters upon your petals lay.

Flight

...looking skyward...

a prelude to twilight moments to come
light yet present from the now setting sun
high above the towering oak there soaring be
a hawk with wings spread wide and flying free
time its ever present call and ceaseless flight
and gone the hawk and present the night.
