It is happening in Tappan, New York right now...brrrrrrrr....

chilling winds from north at play
many a tree in frenetic sway
winter angels busy busy they be
dusting snow as far as I do see

a gossamer veil with winds do blow
and carried be the falling snow
branch and bough all dressed in white
snow crystals and sparkles of light.

Warms hugs my friends...much love...

Orion

... within slumber's chambers...

Orion

night be the journey to vistas vast and far
to cosmic clouds and a brilliant distant star
stellar winds and folds of majestic light
I within slumber's chambers held in Orion's light.

...at the morning hour...My Sight to the Lambent Sky

demanding are the many tasks at hand
a perception, a plan, action in command
intention and focus be the call of the day
the gift of time and a knowing provide the way
how sweet when vision is newly held clear
when the din of despair is silenced and gone the fear
how comforting is this moment's embrace
when within heart, love the soul does place
how knowing is this Spirit's call
when resounding with the grace of ALL
and as I cast my sight to the lambent sky
feel I the beauty of the moving clouds up so high
the lithe bamboo touched by the gentle winds that blow
breath, faith, 'tis all that I need now know
the day by Nature's plan shall unfold
and I to be led by the Divine WORD ever told.

...this morning awake... As SELF Known

compliance gives way to creative freedom

restriction gives way to expansive understanding

confinement gives way to total liberation

doubt gives way to boundless faith

judgement gives way to BEING

DIVINE FRENZY the breath of soul

spirit winds aflame

cloak of mortal clothing shed

flaring breath of soul as SELF known.

.and so the starseed BEINGS be known within Earth realms...

... indeed DIVINE FRENZY...

alchemic... Golden Light

golden light of soul be this moment's decree
the silence of PRESENCE pulses within me
beyond all loss, pain, darkness and despair
ever the endowment of CREATION, light and care
to this rapture of faith and love I willingly succumb
to this golden light of  life I, ALL, ONE.

Beyond My Will

...libation sweet...

Beyond My Will

The moon shall wax and wane and so shall rise the sun
Beyond my will it shall be done
Beyond my will Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall
Trees in constant change, new, growing, majestic, towering tall
Beyond my will waves shall crest, the tides shall ebb and flow
From many directions winds to ever blow
Beyond my will these gifts of nature be mine
And I in the embrace of gratitude divine
And with thy will all be in soul known
Love of the Creator, heart's willful quest ever shown.

..time...place... the north wind blows...

Markers

Seasons, moons, measures of time
Markers to define moments mine
The snow a gossamer veil and blanket to be
Quiet is its touch gentle upon me
A calling silence I hear with each step I take
As I look behind 'tis my path in snow I make
Rippling waves of wind, untempered, untamed
From a direction it is so named
Wild and possessing winds that enfold
The story of the North Wind here told
Seasons, moons, measures of time
Markers to define moments mine.
