Enchanted Wood


Enchanted Wood

It's dark here
 
in the enchanted wood

where the trees whisper

through their leaves

telling stories

of the passage of time

Their secrets safe

in swaying branches

Firmly held by

Tall stern trunks

With roots like finger tips,

reaching out

holding on to existence

laying the foundations of life

For a while there


For a while there
 
For a while there

I felt a tug of sadness

at the core of my very being

as I make my way away

from the place my soul knows

as home.

Then I take time to reassure

that now is not forever

and soon I will return

And then my heart cries out,

why, why leave this place

that gives shelter to my soul

and I don't know what to say.

Rainbow Bubbles


Rainbow Bubbles
 
Loneliness strikes

it seems

out of the valley

of nowhere

as do

glistening rainbow bubbles

float by

Trapped


Trapped


I wondered how it was

That I struggled in this world

In this rigid box
 
that had become the pattern
 
of my life

And then I noticed that

The space that had been given me
 
was too small

For who I would become

For who I was

Change

Change



Time flies
Things change
Moving on
What next
What now

Something new
Something old
Something different
Bold

Change stops
staying still

I took a risk


I took a risk

 

I took a risk

And followed a path

I've never been before

My journey leads me to a quiet place

I see things

never seen before

Hear things

never heard before

Feel things

never felt before

Smell things

never smelt before

Not like this

Oh what joy

To follow a path

never been before.

Creative woman
Sensual woman
Sexual woman
Female body
Naked in vulnerability
Vulnerable in nakedness
Surrender

Pleasure
Joy in me
Present

Wholeness
Wholeness in me
Fully me
