Celestial Sea



There are those who ’see’ into the depths of APOGEE Vibrational Art, something  that is mystical,  outer worldly., intriguing. Their perceptions are valid. Each work in the collection has come forth from lucid dreaming. Within the realms of sleep a gift is bestowed.

YES, A wakeful sleep ... a blissful and focused transition to other realms of BEING... lost to the revelations of image and the call of word. Poetic Dialogues with imaginary dominions that become real onto themselves.  APOGEE Vibrational Art, a responsive call to what IS ~ Inspired Spirit. 

The star lands, and galaxies afar, become known, become real. They with color, movement and intent,  are brought  to a pristine surface of white. They come to speak the counsel of the ages, portray the passions, the quest, the liberation, the beauty, the truth sought by the soul self. 

Here in presentation is one among others:

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.

Live I



 Live I

live I with roots and wings
be they of visions
in purposes defined
in dreams yet dreamed
be I the anchor
be I the sail
a pause, a breath, a BEING.

and so... we sail

we greet the rising and setting SUN 
the way of waters becomes known 
the calm, the fury, the gentle 
the thunderous cresting waves
the ebb and flow 
and our glory, our blessed glory 
resounds in the pulsing of our hearts.

A Cockle Shell… gifted to me …



as I hold this shell in hand 
felt are the many moons of time
the creating of waves at high tide
delicate yet firm, fragile yet strong
it speaks the silence and the roar of oceans
it holds the heart in stillness and passion
is this not an artifact of life and love itself
is this not the gift of waters vast and flowing
is this not the Creator’s offering of BEING
yes, whispers my soul… yes…

The Fire The Rose


 The Fire The Rose

The fire of passion, bud, bloom and thorn they be
So too, the cresting ecstasy of ocean and sea
A rapture of being and enchantment divine
Upon this soul, ever yours, ever mine
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.

Do Enjoy... an offering of inspiration:

BE it the libation...


At this afternoon hour in Tappan, New York.....



The light prevails and the rain does come
Be it the libation, the ever present gift of BEING
Be these tears, these drops of rain, the gift of flow
Answering the quest, the thirst of faith and love
Fulfilling the cleansing, the nourishing, the very call
To BE… Birth Eternal in the waters of conception 
In the waters of birth, in the streams of BEING.

Pink Floyd... The Wall...Echoes... Pulse...





Pink Floyd... The Wall...Echoes... Pulse... 

words, music, song, call to our BEING yet wise
heed the plea to rise beyond perpetrated demise 
not a brick in the wall am I to be
beyond daunting echoes lies the origin, the truth of me
feel I the pulse, passions in calling refrain
this the SELF beyond the confine, beyond the inane
words, music, song, call to our BEING yet wise
heed the plea to rise beyond perpetrated demise.

Awakened Faith



the roots that feed you
the waters that bathe you
the fire that warms you
the air that breathes you
the vibration that sounds you
the light that illuminates you
such be the SPIRIT that is you.

Waters...



Waters bathe me in a loving embrace ever sweet
Touched by waters, this body and God's Grace meet
Cooling be the touch, nurturing be its flow
Upon farm lands, bounty to serve, to grow
Upon fields of grass, grain, and flowers in bloom to be
The delight of rain welcomed by all from sea to sea
Rain forests lush, jeweled in emerald green wondrous delight
Hold to the waters ever blessed by the glow of warming light
Shores caressed by waves cresting mighty and high
Behold the crowning rainbow across the lambent sky
Waters sigh and hold a promise ever new
This benevolence of Grace bestowed upon you.

Fracking No More...This be but one drop...


This be but one drop... this essence of ALL ...

Waters

waters of this earth
a Libation sweet
honored they shall ever be
the streams, the rivers, the oceans, the seas
the fields that yield by its grace
to all life its flow we trace
hold to the purity that Creation gives
contaminate not by false truths we live
contaminate not by false truths we live.

This post was prompted by a loss of life resulting from the ill effects of fracking. The ill fate of properties from fracking is more than overwhelmingly devastating... This MUST BE STOPPED!! Hydraulic fracturing is the propagation of fractures in a rock layer caused by the presence of a pressurized fluid.

...the gentle winds blow...and I Sail


Sail I to the sun's splendor

Sail I to the casting light
Sail I to the call of the waters
Beyond the dark of night

Sail I to the vistas of faith
Sail I to the depths of my soul
Sail I to the glory and grace
Beyond all life's toll

Sail I to uncharted waters
Sail I to horizons yet known
Sail I to each sunrise
Beyond life has thus shown

Sail I to the heavens above
Sail I to the dreams to unfold
Sail I to the questing heart
Beyond a story told.

Wellspring ...the Great Mind...


Wellspring of earth and the Great Mind
Creation, abundance, the bequeathed spoils of time
Waters and the light of the heavens above
Flow with life, rapture and divine love.

Azure


Rivers of my mind
Streams of my heart
Celestial seas of my soul
Cascading, cresting waters
Hues of azure fuse and flow.

Fervent Beauty


Setting sun and ocean winds ablaze
Majestic waves of color and light
Upon the horizon
Upon these dusk waters dark
And I
Held
Within the embrace
Of fervent beauty.

Luxuriant Waters Divine


Primal rhythms
heard within the depths of me
The sound of cresting waves
breaking at sea
Babbling brook
a waterfall resounds
The feel of this heart
flow ever found
The sound of rain
drumming upon all to hear
Assuring be these gifts of water
banish loss and fear
Flowing, cascading, cresting,
luxuriant waters divine
The feel, the sound, the ebb and flow,
blissful breath mine.

Rose Marie Raccioppi


Ben Arthur, Scotland, etching and mezzotint, engraved by Thomas Lupton, 1819,
Painted by: Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1775-1851.

May the sounds of water, wind, and our hearts, be known
to ever hold the light of love and creation.
Thank You, Nicola Cali, for this beauty shared.

The Present All


Thoughts within the mind to trace

Within this heart a questing place
A knowing and a longing wise
Your spirit in grace to ever rise
For love and faith bequeath your soul
In peace, flight, fury, a noble goal
Rising sun of morn, waxing moon of night
Splendor of The Way, dark beget light
Thunderous waves, waters call
Majestic so be the present All
Life in gratitude and loving praise
Now be known this gift of days
Within each moment, each hour, all time
The glory of God's gifts eternal sublime.

Water's Lure


To these waters I proclaim
Protection in the Creator's name
Rain, lake, stream and sea
Upon land, mountain and all that be
Cascading, rippling waves of time
Waters roiling, majestic, sublime
Carried with ebb and flow
Ocean tides now high now low
Lofty heights of turbulent splendor
To water's lure I willingly surrender
And heard be the cresting plea
Revere the gifts of waters, ocean and sea.

By the Sea


The blush of the day
Sets its golden light
Passion in crimson strokes
Across the sky in flight

Quiet the moment
Yet ablaze in beauty be
I in sail's repose
Touched by the sea.
