Ancient Ones

Come to me O Ancient Ones For I have missed you Your presence fills me with Light and joy I hear you calling me in the night Tendrils whispered On the winds of time I receive you with grace and humbleness In awe of your spirit Your keen glance says everything to me I see into you... All that you have been Lifetimes of pain, evolution and Ascension beckon me Your winged form welcomes me Carrying shamanic wisdom from realms revealed Returning to carry me inward To unimagined beauty Towards the soul we all carry within us That seeds, soothes and feeds Our spirits Your gifts unfold as I journey To purple misty valleys Surrounded with living mountains Adorned with ancient relics I am gifted with your knowledge Of all things past Being reborn in the now Thank you for allowing me To know what it means To be truly human Scars of woven life grace my body My depth of consciousness is a gift That allows me To see the beauty in others I reach my hands out to you .. all of you Humans, animals, plants, and energy To kiss you with my fingertips For we are one Energies of light stitched together In such intricate grace Gold cellular magnificence Diamond heart beats that glisten on wave tips Salty spray Eyelashes dotted with sunrays We are united in our humanness Kissed by the goddess of the wind Always and forever In gratitude for this moment in time

So evocative, Susan, I love your lines 'I see into you, all you have been' and 'eyelashes dotted with sunrays' - there is much wisdom in all realms~

Susan, your use of imagery - "energies of light stitched together" - showcase your amazing poetic talent. Each amazing image just leaves me in awe as they flow from stanza to stanza like a gentle waterfall. Love the last line. Sometimes it is hard to be in attitude of gratitude when chaos is the hallmark of our days but your last line is a wonderful reminder to be grateful for each minute. Thank you for this beautiful piece my friend. So happy to see you posting again. Blessings!

What an authentic poem...one I deeply identify with. I feel the connectedness with my ancestors from the past--so often.Hard to explain, but I know you'll understand.My connection with them is deep, enigmatic, and transformative. I also feel the oneness you mention in these lines: To see the beauty in others I reach my hands out to you .. all of you Humans, animals, plants, and energy To kiss you with my fingertips. We are all 'one' -- and I find that truth undeniable and reassuring. hugs, Sara

Dear Sara, Your visit is such a gift. I appreciate your words and thoughts and comments. I am touched that you could relate and identify with my words. There is so much beautiful energy that I receive from the beings that came before us. It helps me and connects me to the oneness that connects all of us. Big hugs to you. Susan :)

Truly shamanic. Authentic, as we embody the transcendent in the immanent, here, now, shifting from separatenesses to interconnectedness to oneness.
