This poem was gifted to me from someone from ICQ. A very intelligent individual who had a unique view on the Events that have happened in recent times. Thank you Miles for your trust in sharing this and the conversation we had. May you be blessed in each day of your life.

Silhouette of winter tree in spring
Whose interlaced twigs
Are a thousand spider webs
Motionless as though frozen in time
Against grey seattle sky

Neighbor above flows green
Branches heavy with leaves
That are sails unto the wind
Dancing without fear or pride
As days grow long

- miles (1998)

The following three poems were written while visiting a dear friend of mine. Fixer has given me a place where my soul can fly free without the constraints of modern day inhibitions. The Lake I write about is in central Texas...Just a couple hours east of Dallas... Beautiful country for sure...I hope you enjoy the following three poems...Blessings.

Nature’s Dance Upon the Lake

Leaves dance in windswept spirals
Rustling music against the song of the chimes…
Dog barks to join in the happy song
Mother’s calming breath
Enveloping my soul.

Purple spots shine through from the brown earth…
Speckled field of Forgetlessness…
Luck of green club’s show through in gathered clumps
Saving sweet bidding for the Irish living here…

Rolling waves of her Majesty
Caressing Mother’s sweet breath…
Loons join the dance
Through gracious gliding motion
From their wet seat to
Finding current so high above the shimmering leaves…
Drops of Moisture cascade down upon my head
Laughter of sweet joy reveling as a child in
This magical wonderland of the lakefront.

Picture Perfect

Lazy day of blue’s and grey’s
Shining off the water’s edge…
View from a pier of windswept moisture
Home of the loon betold…
With Gallant voice above the squall
Caring your wisdom to awaiting ears…
Though undecipherable your voice is…
Story understood with an amazing glee…

The Farm’s View

Peaceful pasture of golden brown geldings
Alongside cud chewing bull’s with waiting smile’s…
That look so priceless as you gaze upon
This ridiculous human finding awe within you…
Your greeting a moo from deep within…
A bit of a shake and the tail wag back…
Good morning and nice meeting
I wish you well…
From a host of farm animals to wise to ever tell…
That from wind stung eyes of glee
A human as funny as she…
For she arrived with such gliding brilliance
In a cream coloured Chariot that made little noise…
Stopping with such force and giggling joy
The neighboring pony had to cease the afternoon feed..
To look upon this human of such a funny site…
With ever present curiosity sought
Her main rode the wind’s current from all different sides…
A clicking noise of something in her hand…
Coming to investigate she laughed even louder…
What must she find so funny?
Just as quickly as she had arrived..
A dashing departure did occur…
Looking across the fields waving as she went…
The afternoon spectacle spent.

Star Jumper
4/1/00 to 5/15/00
Though you were not but a wee fellow...
Your soul filled eyes brought brightness...
Into my life...
Your antics from an open door and accross the floor and back
Made my laughter fill our home...
Always the loving sort...
You are so very smart...
Please know you shall be missed...
Though I know now that you are where you are supposed to be...
Doing what your name states...
Jumping from the stars...

Thank you for being such a wonderful companion Glider...
All My Love
Mommy

Normality Returned

As the morning dawned...
I felt your warmth ...
Cocooning me against the outside world...
Together in sleep...
As with sheltered Spirits
We found laughter in the darkness...
Days filled with light...
Smiles radiant from with in...
Intertwined within your energy...
Love of Friendship...
Adoration of our Union...
I look forward to our dance...
Throughout days to come...
Future unwritten...
Commonality as the Norm
Reveals itself.

THE LAND WHERE SOULS PLAY.

An awakening to dawn mist on the water,
flowing Spirit's streams to God's alter,
purifying essence whistles through the trees,
images of the sacred blowing in the breeze.

Flights of fancy from birds up high,
feathers of many colors filtering through the sky,
sun, moon and stars envelops Earth's dome,
we're all birds of a feather, finding our way home.

Spectacle of mesmerizing movements flashing in the mind,
melting pots of humans, secrets hard to find,
love all embracing whispers on the wind,
no physical presence, ecstasy from a light dimmed.

Gifts of joy enmeshed in music and dance,
visualizing images filtering in a trance,
warriors in a drumbeat at journeys end,
back to the womb of creation enmeshed in a substance blend.

Wondrous dreams in the stillness of the dark,
journey on uplifting voyages in paradise park,
thunder and lightening points the way,
a prelude to the land where Soul's play.

Long Distance Dream

As the dawn of the morning arrives'
The memory of our souls
Dancing in unison under the cobalt sky
Through midnight hours
Waves of passion and love
Ebb and Flow as our Mother does...
Finding the wonder
Within Each other
Seeing the reflections
Returned from the pools of our essence.
Magic awakens....
The inner glory
Bound together through time...
For once again
We have found
Our Lives Entertwined.

Willows
Willows whisper in the wind
Telling tales to cats
Talking to the toads
And singing to the fishes
Telling tales of love and wonder
Telling stories about a loving woman
Telling tales of loving man
Words of Love and Family
Moments of truth
Silence echos through the water
Reeds dance to the tunes in their hearts
Love's magical words
Love's desire
Love's voice...
Enters my thoughts...

Emergence

Through endless wanderings...
Upon the morn...
Quiet twilight hours...
I seek that for which elludes me...
Looking to the past
I gaze in wide amazement
Lessons learned of late...
I did not mean to leave...
For the choice was not mine.
I stayed though you could not see me...
The torment for which I saw...
In gentle guiding motions
I sat at your side...
The gentle breeze on your cheek
Were my kisses from beyond...
Though you felt a presence...
Grief kept you from finding
All the love I had left for you.
Walking through time
Your presence stayed with me.
Through changes of the Aeons
Light unto morn
We have met once again
Energies fortelling
what we left behind.
Tis with time that answers
Sought shall be found.
Patience and trust fulfill the questioning glance...
Through shaking proceedings
We shall find...
That for which we know of
In another time.

Ageless Relations

Along streams of lifetimes…
Essence so near…
Light of one’s being …
Encountering you here.
I’ve searched the ages,
Moment by moment,
To find where you might have gone to.
Surprising Events unfolding
For unknowing was our best hiding place.
Growth within dimensions
Answers finally sought.
Lessons on the horizon…
Experiences from the past
Have impeded our time here…
As if time had simply paused
Until I found you here.
You open so many doors,
Creating so many more questions.
Though together our answers shall we find.
Standing beside you during this search.
For what we have are the unconditional emotions,
Forgiveness, openness, respect, honesty, trust.
The connection through the ages…
UNCONDITIONAL

Ancient sounds
Of a wolf cry
Beating drums
Fill my thoughts
Awakening the sleeping
Warrior hidden within
Voices of Ancestors
Come on the wind
From resting places
Scattered throughout the hills
Wisdom of the ages
Dance through my mind
Nearly incomprehensible
By my sleepy brain
I feel the rhythm
Pounding in my blood
My heart cries
As my spirit is set free!!

Peace

A cold wind rushes past
Speaking of a time to be renewed
Speaking of a new life born unto the heart
A voice heard throughout ages
A voice head not before in this Lifetime

Trumpets echo in the mind
Ringing forth the wind’s power
Triumph
A quiet moment
A loving soul
A caring whisper
Hands reaching across space and time
Touching heart and soul

A smile drifts from the clouded mind
And peace rushes forth onto this new day
Quiet serenity of a breeze
Of a wave rippling ashore
Moments of laughter enter the quieted soul
Thanking the Angel that entered that heart

She knows of the magic she holds within
She knows of the moments shared
She knows of the moments to come

She knows of the love yet within
Hidden for the moment
For Time to Share…

As the winds whip
Across my ever changing soul
I hear the whispers of the passing
Voices from beyond.
As if in restless seeking
Of one’s own reality
Relying on the energy of the earthbound
I learn of the future
Listening with open senses.
One does not only hear with ones ears.
My child open and awaken
One should know what is before you.
Search through the haze for truth
It awaits you on the other side of morning.

My soul rides the crescent wind of morning
Over the canyon walls.
My voice reverberates off the granite
Sounding back to my eagle ears.
I ask mother earth for her guidance
For the ever changing wisdom of the guardian

With upswept voice of reason
Gifted only to those on high
I strain to hear the chords of your
Ever present song of the ages.

I hear the brook over the rocks in the valley of the stone.
Ever wandering winds of change balancing
Responsibility for the grace of the earth.
Mother Oh Mother
I call on you tell me where to seek the vision
Strength matched only by your love.
