hot phenomenon
ancient lava rings
hexagonal shapes appear
molten rock anneals
where titans battled
geometric footprints pave
the giants causeway

assistance asked
our hand proffered
there’s magic in touch
making trauma bearable
why should the dream
be painful and unpleasant
when a whiff of love’s essence
heals and anneals heart that feels

The urge to create in us is innate
In harmony with sacred geometry
Reverberation of cosmic vibration
Amplifying within a divine rhythm
Music nurturing soul to feel whole
Effervescence borne of innocence
Play within renewing bliss ignition
Ineffable delight by day and night
Filling every chasm in body prism
As bliss nectar drips rapture grips
Pristine presence in love’s incense
Soundless thunder divine wonder
From soul's core like never before
Dance of vibrance in exuberance
That feels heals anneals by touch
Dynamic stillness path to wellness

Volcanic Myth
Hard hitting hammer
sparking pyroplastic flows.
Blowing bellows stoke
billowing pillars of fire.
Ash and cinders, remains
of dying white hot coals
pushed violently skyward
cover all in a drab gray.
The earth trembles and shakes
as mighty Vulcan grunts
with each swing of his
muscular arm.
Fiery jets of flame
spew from his pot
as he anneals iron
in the bubbling cauldron.
As he works, torrents
of sweat flow in to the
fire, hissing and steaming
clouds of vapor vented to the sky.
When he tires, or the last
iron has been cast. The fires
are banked and temblors
cease.
Mighty Vulcan rests for
now. Waiting for the next
call from the Gods. Waiting to
vent his wrath once more.
