Earth Whispers

Earth whispers I hear her I am here to receive Nuances of flight and discovery My senses warm with anticipation Fragments of hope and desire Pain and loss Arrive on moonbeams of broken glass Shattered dreams sing Delivering silky threads Glistening with seedlings of rebirth Opening my heart, I close my eyes Leaning forward into the warmth of the sun Wearing my vulnerability on my sleeve I dive headfirst off the cliff Opening my arms to capture The energy of the moment Fingertips outstretched, reaching out Beckoning encounters with the here and now How wonderous to receive you Dear light and love I journey into what was – what is - and what will be Messages arrive from you Feathered musical notes Cries from the lonely ones Howls from the night animals Thunderheads boom in the distance Piercing the velvet blackness A warm wave caresses me as you glide by Tickling me with your tailfeathers Magic in motion as time stands still Inside the teardrop I gaze outward Immersed in the beauty of What it means to be alive Persimmon heartbeats envelope me A gentle rhythm as we rise To the downy envelope between Earth and sky Gliding in peace and unity Through star crusted waves of Lavender light Exhaling gratitude

Dearest Susan, my esteemed poetry sister and time-travel companion, your supple, softened soul shines with humanity and spirituality. An acceptance without reservation of both duality and oneness. I hear the whispers of your soul, of Earth, of the Universe, of past and present lives in the rich loving beauty of your poetic pen. Lush imagery brings me to stand side by side with you, and to fly with you, in the wonder of the scene, the exhilaration of being alive, the magic of the present moment, and with gratitude for your exquisite poetic gift. A breathtaking piece, but this verse especially caught my breath "Inside the teardrop I gaze outward" Wow! The enchanting power of your extraordinary words allows us to transform and soar the thermals of, "what was – what is - and what will be" on gliding white wings. Your poetic gift outshines in the embrace of your expressive spirit. Warmest wishes, love and hugs, I hope all is well with you and yours, my sweet sis.. ~Susan
