Winter's Journey - Part 1b
“Winter’s Journey” (Part 1b)
Your mother's Universe resounds inside you
where you are every single sparkling star
in every planet’s sky, the Galaxies are vast you see,
in you she’ll never die.
You are all the pearls in all her deepest azure oceans,
every minuscule grain of sand,
all the coal shining precious diamonds in far away mysterious lands,
and the perilous ocean ice-packs where she stood so strong for you.
You are all the treasures in her treasure box, spilling out from
bulging lid,
lying quietly in your very own ocean for you to discover when you're
not a kid.
You must remember Little Bear, you're never really
alone nor apart.
Mother Bear is crying out her messages loud and very clear
all over strange clouds and distant airwaves to you,
that she is always very very near.
It rings mercilessly out it’s message
like a toll bell ringing in a raging ocean storm,
remember this message always,
nothing could ring more clearer -
What you think is “easier”
is never,
usually the norm.
Believe what she has taught you, the Truth will always steer you Home
when your inner map is foggy,
or your caught pinned somewhere perilous
beneath this expansive Dome.
Listen and remember, keep faith in what she imparts,
this is your shield to deflect all that will burn only for a little while,
it’s just a slight nip, a sharp sting,
but will never be the Fire that will ever destroy your heart.
You take your lessons from her, an elixir full of love,
you fall over, you get straight back up again, put on your special gloves;
you’re made of her strong stuff you see and it is made from unbreakable
LOVE.
The TRUTH is Baby bear,
a Sea Leopard never changes it’s spots.
This is what you must remember, never forget,
not one jot.
I know it is hard to fathom, let it sink where it belongs.
The Strongest Kindest Polar Bear would forgive, learn and reflect,
but the Strongest Kindest Polar Bear, will impart to you now,
one must never ever forget.
Little Bear, you must get back in the Ocean
swim through all that flotsam too,
follow the other Polar Bears, your like-minded stalwart brethren
to pristine crystal water views.
Have no fear
you will make it through all that wash,
they are the ones you want swimming with you,
not the other shallow dross,
the ones stuck in a Zoo,
the ones caught in steel cages
standing in their own poo.
Follow the Sea Birds, the Albatross too,
for they are good luck to bring a
Mother HOME to you.
