arriving to a tornado
and then the eye
of this storm settles
here
for the rest
of my life
staying here is my calm
and excitement in one
my own personal
story
it is powerful
it is soothing
I am my better
I am my beauty and
I am the self I am in heaven
being here I can see
home is what happens
when my heart
stops running into the storm
I am happy
so happy
today
what a wonder to be here
acorns and roots
starting under the brightness
light comes my way
shy away
not ready
(not ready)
it’s happening again
sun rising
sun rising
like dawn always told me
just to stand strong
it’s that kind of life
where light comes my way
I am happy
so happy
today
what a wonder to be here
I’m getting use to the view
mighty
majestic
I can’t stand at the bottom no more
it’s all growing
into the height and light
reaching for me
light comes my way
aspiring
this is me
this is me
this is me
oh what a wonder
to be
here
You and I adore each other
we will always meet heart
to heart what ever distance
comes and goes
I love how you are touched
by my words and how you cry
for the love that aches
to be expressed
And you remember the stillness and clarity
in our connection, and wonder
how the communion between your heart
and head ever stole your attention
It’s all so clear; a deep knowing
of what is to be done and accepting
the innate struggle that threatens
to tear you in two
In the moment after my song
before we open our eyes and look
into each other’s hearts
we are transformed
My heart is exposed and you
fill it with utter acceptance
Your heart is open and I
fly in so glad to be there
it is a little moment
where we are transformed
like the old and new of us
sit together in total recognition
I am honoured by your presence
you are shining my brightness
back to me
and I would love to hold on
You are only here for a moment
because your light, your clear mirror
is needed for special purposes
and because you know
it is your destiny to follow
this yearning to the ends of the earth
(and back again)
The deepest compassion exists
for your journey. For the struggle
that opens before you
of belonging
I can hold the turnings of your heart
and mind in my heart
because I know it will pass
I know you will pass
And I know there’s no wrong decision
only what is present
And this is all I can
reflect back to you
We found our healing in each other
As my pain begins, in mid sob
your name whispers in my ear
Laura! Go to her!
We sit with each other
in the hour my heart bled raw
and your body doubled over
in a loss of every known freedom
through our most vulnerable moments
I learn to watch your strength
take hold, always always believing
in your own resilience
your own power
I was sent to breathe
the same air of someone
who embodies and lives
the belief: I AM WORTHY
It is the message I need
for my deepest and greatest growth
You transform me
with your essence
I love you dearly
I always believe in you
I am only shining You back at yourself
I am as clear as I can be
so as not to distort our reflection
Without any effort, we radiate
our serenity, peace and love
to all those around us
This is our greatest healing
you know you turned up
while I was lost
in that second of anxiety
you appear
cold, aloof
slightly inconvenienced
and inadvertently helpful
like I stole a gesture
you would rather save
for someone else
and I laugh that I can attract
such a begrudging angel
we can cry for a baby mouse
disable in the chase of cat n mouse
and we can cry for our broken
dream where it feels like
the universe has taken sides
against us
it is the same open heart that cries
allowing compassion
to show how truly vast
our heart has become
thank you for sharing (Oriah)
the cracks in your heart
shed light into thousands and
I am touched by your perfectness
gone are the exploratory kisses
to dissipate charge
and tension
gone are the soft heartbeats
like gentle whispers on my breasts
gone is the running away
tongue and syllables for another day
gone is the desirous wanting
more of everything
gone is the belief that if only
we meet inseparably
I can be me with you
gone is the taste
of taking you
away or with me
gone is the necessary climax
to proclaim an ending
and gone is the person I was
before you breathed on me
wheel turning, thoughts circling
I am the intention of this body
the definition outside the dark and vast
water, turning a continent into its own
waterfall, turning a vast eye
towards me in destiny
dissolve me, merge me
these boundaries cut into my skin
disconnection is uncomfortable
