Abyss ~ Haiku Reflection

into the abyss
the beaming grace of the sun
illume be the dark.

As Above So Below

as above, so below
branch and bough reaching to heaven's heights
roots to the deep depths of mother earth
'tis the light ever in quest
'tis the depths ever our behest.

Waters In Deliverance

This very day ...Hands Across The Sand... and so...

Waters In Deliverance

Heed the call and resounding cry
For all the loss, the tears gone by
Greed and deception devastation and despair
Waters in deliverance I declare
The ravaged ocean the ravaged sea
Cresting waves again again shall implacable be
Your changing tides high and low
To the moon beholden your ebb and flow
With blessings and gratitude so shall we hail
The knowing wise of Nature to prevail.

...and at the close of this day...

It was so important for me to reach out on this one. I am appreciative of the research that shows thought and intention can change the structure of water. We as a world community must go from anger to the embrace of love ~ the highest vibration for healing. Today was filled with a renewed faith in what WE can bring forth. WE are generous of heart, and must identify with one another stepping beyond the greed of corporations, this to be the resounding heartbeat of healing. Such was the spirit brought to this day.

~ may the waters know our care and find the 'knowing' to heal ~

~ blessing and love ~
~Hands Across the Sands~

Mother Earth's call can no longer be silenced. It is a primal scream,
heard in turbulent, bubbling waters that cry of pillage and plunder.

One Earth Be It Healed

How absolutely unbelievable is this devastation of our waters. And Yes, let us embrace faith in its entirety... As more is told of the Gulf Waters... let us reach out beyond despair... and so......

One Earth be it Healed

Pray I for YOUR knowing command
To guide each caring, helping hand
Pray I for YOUR loving grace.
Blessings upon ravaged waters shall YOU place.

The Wisdom of Passion

The wisdom of passion I so decree
'Tis the winds and cresting waves of the sea
The flames of soul's deep desire
The consuming transforming lure of sun and fire
The towering tree reaching with branch and bough
The budding bloom holding to Spring's vow
The lingering lure of a garden's scent
The embracing vision clear and fervent
The soft caress of this Summer moment mine
'Tis thought and Being entwine
The feel of this PRESENCE known it shall be
The wisdom of passion I so decree.

Northern Lights ~ Sweeping Veils

Whispering winds carry this message of love
Sweeping veils of GOD'S majesty here and above
Colors of light, sun, moon, and star
Splendor upon horizon and galaxies afar
This moment of PRESENCE in rapture enfold
TRUTH and BEAUTY ours to behold.
