Space and Time

Entering the doorway through my heart Following the nuance of space Allowing expansion ~ mystery ~ and curiosity To guide me into realms of spiritual awakening Journeying through moments in time Filled with opportunities To appreciate and cherish To express gratitude To be connected to the forces Of nature and humanity Together we take flight Guided by white hawks Silently lifting off Into darkened skies Kissed by gray hues Alighting on silken clouds Transporting us higher A deep inhale as gentle breezes Tickle my earlobes and caress my soul My heart is open ~ expanding ~ gaining insight Exposed My tears flow freely I allow the pain and suffering to become me As I focus on illumination and helping others With embracing arms and heart alive Calling out to our elders and animal spirits To join in our collective dance The soft wind carries us We float and fly and glide Entering the realm of light Sunbeams vibrating at the edges of perception A fuzzy twinkling as our eyes excite Riding magic cloud carpets Above ocean’s breast Gazing down The beauty becomes us Gold light rays skate on undulating waves Illuminating tide’s glimmering foam A waltz of light and sound Briny majesty Luminous shafts dance and sway In a lovers embrace Across veridian waves Passionately singing out Becoming one Our voices ~ melodies Songs of our ancestors Ballads from distant shores Past and present Reveal themselves in Tender haunting notes Arriving on mist’s fingertips Hoovering close to Mother Ocean’s surface We hear her heartbeat Lap lap lap ... bubbles ... breath Surface foam breaking She appears in nature’s coat of shiny black A regal humpback A tranquil Goddess welcoming us We ride upon this graceful giant As she whispers her secrets Feeling her slow movement Through watery depths Turning gently ~ moving up and down We welcome her strength as Turquoise tides caress us Guided by celestial navigation .... we ride Gazing up at the sparkling stars We listen to the collective heartbeat of eternity One breath One exhale Together

Dearest Susan my inspiring friend, upon the wings of white hawks your exquisite expression takes flight across the wanting page. I revel in this meditative journey embracing Nature, the past and animal spirits in a collective dance and I relish the embrace of your very nature; the joy, insight, passion, and tears acknowledged and absorbed, as illumination shines a light on helping others. Your poem is a celebration of love, wisdom, family, tranquility, spirituality, femininity.. To be immersed in a turquoise tide is splendid indeed, to listen to the collective heartbeats of eternity is profound. Your poem transforms me and transports me. You are transcendent and radiant, my sweet sister. Congratulation for POTD honors. A rich, lush, uplifting and beautiful choice. Warmest wishes, love and hugs sent on white wings.. ~Susan

I am forever grateful for your depth of consciousness, multi layered spiritual mind and heart full of love and wisdom. Until our next flight, Love and hugs Susan
