Rising Moon



Am I afraid
to
slow down
one
moment
to
the
next
without
contemplation
of
what
has
been
or
what
is 
to
come
just
what
it
is
what
we
have
now
live
it
experience
it
LIFE.

Am I afraid
of
LIFE
in
this
moment
no.
what has been
yes
what is to come
yes
why
why
why
moment then
moment now
moment tomorrow
ALL
the
same.

Don't
be
afraid
live
LIFE
to
the
end
of
time
forever
in
the 
reflection
of
the
sunset
in
the
ripple
of
water
behind
the
rising 
moon.

I am
not
afraid
of
eternity
LIFE
in
the moment
the sunset
the reflection
the ripple
the wave
the
 rising
 moon.

no more
no less.

beauty

reflects
in
the 
eye
of
the
beholder.

Journey 
into
the
mystic.

Loneliness, Light, Love

Listen, silence
the Mind
Opens
Alone
Death
Will Find
you in
Time.
To
Begin again.
Death
Whispers
Everywhere
There is a
Door
There is a 
Path
to the 
Light
LOVE
each moment
This world
Speaks
Loudly
Death
Whispers
Softly
to
open
your
Universe
to find
the End of Time

A Moment of Reflection Through a Sound

The Snow Crunched
Beneath my foot
Where have I been
What have I seen
Am I lost
Again
Center Yourself
Why
A
Tear...
of Joy
A
Tear...
of Ecstasy
I am completely
Absorbed
Beneath my foot.
The Snow Crunched
The Sound
Where am I
Where have I been
Goose bumps
The Tear
I am centered
Complete Joy
Complete Ecstasy
Happiness
found
in
a 
moment
of
reflection
through
a
sound.
Crisp
Reality?
Time
no more.
End of Time
Found
in
a
Moment
of
Reflection
I cry
Complete Joy
Complete Ecstasy
Happiness.

(1/16/2011)
Inspired by an unexpected moment in the Indy airport parking lot-the sound took me back to a particular childhood memory at Cedar Cliff. The senses are interesting.

Divine Dance

I have had a glimpse
Perhaps a peek
Into the Mystic
The Divine Dance
The Everything
The Nothing
A higher vibration
The mind opens
The heart expands
You stare
In wonder
Ecstasy
Complete awe
A door
Into this space
Exists.
Let go
Dissolve Ego
Spirit Speak
This mystery
Life
Alive
Now.
What more?
One self
Saw the
World
Eyes shut
Believed Time
Time
Crumbles 
Again
and 
Again
and
Again
I have had a glimpse
Perhaps a peek
Into the Mystic
The Divine Dance
The Everything 
The Nothing
A higher vibration
New self feels....
What I (we) have already known-forever
Eyes open
Time no more
End of  Time.

This post was inspired by a friends blog-in one week she had a devastating fire destroy several historical  family barns, felt the loss of LOVE, and drove through a Tornado. Despite all of these experiences in one week this is what she closed her blog with:  

What a week. I woke this morning with the simple idea running through my head that life really shouldn't be so complicated.
It's all about LOVE.
Love god.The details aren't really that important. 
Love one another. Treasure the time with each person we meet.
Love what you are doing. Whatever we are engaged in-do it with passion and fervor.
The teacup is already broken and any give moment can change your life. I get it. I experienced all this week. Fire, tornadoes, broken hearts..

Here's to the next time and just loving....

My mind works in songs..Keep searching for LOVE it's ALL AROUND. LIFE is BEAUTIFUL. Surrender to LOVE. Let Go. Enjoy the Ride!!!
