Effervescence

I am here now Presence my companion Rising I put my two feet On the ground I give thanks as I open my eyes To this new day A divine delicious smile Trickles upward animating my mouth How glorious to be here At this moment in time Sacred simplicity guiding me A gift to inhabit this body Having the depth of consciousness To appreciate tiny nuances Wonderous offerings Arriving on sunlight’s crown The gift of vison, heart, and soul Awaken effervescent bubbles Gratitude’s golden silk Tickling my tender skin Footprints of change Always in motion Mapped out before me A constant ripple in a Reflective glistening pool Closing my eyes I see you by the campfire Gold crusted amber glow Sculpting your face Lips parted slightly Dancing shadows on your forehead I long for you A deep belly laugh Tears brim my eyes Remembering that magical moment Illuminating our shared joy The rising sparks from the fire Unleash memories deep Within my molten core A baby crying in the distance The vibrations encompassing me The slow steady drumbeats of our ancestors An opportunity to dig down To release old wounds Only I have the key Fly away ... I have no need for you Gliding on newborn mist Born in ocean’s womb Rising to great heights Arriving in the world of tomorrow I kiss the salt-stained cheeks Of the wounded Lending a helping hand To the downtrodden Walking through the valley before me I marvel at the weathered cliffs Crags and crevices plunging Down.....down Spooning riverbanks A gentle sway Waters lapping luxuriously Without a care or want A twinkle awakens Teardrop tapestries weaving light On water’s surface Mystical movement Its sheen seeding love and purpose Deep into my heart A beckoning call from cliff’s crest A cradling chant infuses itself Into my being Kai kai kai ooo har Kai kai kai Passion riding on desire’s whisper Cloaked in lavender silk Sounds so full and rich I cannot resist receiving them I feel the heat rise up I see gathered before me Life ~ Love ~ Loss ~ and Rebirth A joyous silken rain woven by Goddess spiders Threads of compassion Pulsating in iridescent Lime, turquoise, and peach We all pause The multitudes of mankind The creatures of light and sound The furry beasts The winged ones Gazing up we raise our arms Towards pale violet clouds Winks, half smiles and collective breath are shared Bursting into song We open our hearts in unison and Capture the quenching raindrops In our mouths A gift from above connecting us all In a shared embrace.
