Blue Highway At the Cross Roads
"Blue Highway at the Cross Roads"
When the child
finds the imprints,
the child will place
its feet firmly
in the
Love
marked,
for the child alone
brick walls
along the
Blue Highway
to be smashed
like teeth -
to be
broken,
alone
in pieces,
learnt slow, independent
is the only way
to grow,
in the child
inner strength knows
the true mother knows
the tears that flow
she sees her child
always in her dreams
butterflies
and boilermakers
flying monkeys
and creeps
courage is borne
through belief
in the child waking,
to wake not too late
the child
becomes beautiful
in the heart
more aware
of what love is
she learns this
where the fear
of loss starts
a smile will grow
slowly again, always
love in the heart
is open like heaven
the memories
flood a life like
rain rushing down
magnetised minds
stories and songs
so much stolen,
so much lost
time, taken
children and mothers
conquer tombs
they follow
maps drawn
a child commanding,
the adult in her -
steers with dignity
her own boat
the child will follow
what was seen
long before in
before time dreams
where there existed
no walls marked “No”
and to know fully
what is absent
for the child
will understand
eventually, the mother
arrived before her
she travelled
the same road
the mother
knows the child,
this,
the child knows
to listen to
what the heart tells
is to learn wisdom,
courage - is required for this
it's in caverns labyrinthine
and deep oceans
not shallow rock pools
and babbling streams
where jewels
and pearls of wisdom grow
begin to realise truth
through lies and dreams
resistance
to falsehoods
and following her
own tomes
brings broken roads
to her, yet – detours, gifts
to her
own way home
understanding
of the
one before her
blooms, it grows
eventually peace
is seen, and held,
for it is known
what the truth, truly is
the mind
through truth knows
what the heart
truly thinks
one must be water
like tears and oceans
gentle as soft rain
and hard as storms -
release resistance
for love and peace
like water must
move with the flow
electric mind,
there is lightening
bringing back to life
heart fibrillating -
to move forward
reigning
within the heart,
love eventually flows
to hold
always -
hard onto Hope,
golden chord, Faith
it never breaks
it never lets go
put in the pocket
next to her heart
seeds of what the one before her,
the one who loves her most, sows
faith
inside
the heart grows
the child trusts again, she follows
the golden chord
the story told
by Blue Faery
long ago
hidden rainbows
truth and knowledge
wait for the child
now into woman grows
journeys her
forward
along her
own road
where the one
who loves her most
waits patiently
heart wide open
waiting
patiently for her
barefoot
where the sign reads,
Blue Highway
at the Cross Roads
