The WARRIOR Within

The WARRIOR Within

Pulsing sounding of heart
Breath and life ne’er depart
Reaching, grasping quest be known
The cry, the call for love be shown
Tenderness and care, constant be the refrain
Life and destiny calling its claim
Heed well the need, the desire
For expressed be the passion and fire
The questing soul holds to light divine
Beyond all constraint, all confine
The WARRIOR Within sounds liberation’s plea
The SELF, the SELF, the conceived destiny.

Moments...

embraced by time and spirit's grace

thoughts call to the pulsing heart

visions call to the questing soul

moments past be the silver treasure

moments now the alchemic gold.

Sounding Waves

sounding waves cresting in my mind
thunderous be these waters and moving tides
winds echo the whispers of each yesterday
beckon they to this restless heart
call they to this questing soul
flow, crest, bathe these wounds of time past
within this breath of ebb and flow be it shown
the flow of life and spirit eternal known.

Rose Marie Raccioppi



a haiku reflection

winds winds winds of change
in bondage to mill and sail
toil and spirit's call.
