Mirrors

I look in the mirror,

Looking back at me,

Many faces, many lives,

Reach out through time—

Greet me.

*****

Forgotten memories arise,

Reflections of choices made.

Met with love and forgiveness,

Old wounds heal, scars fade.

*****

Masks removed, no place to hide,

Will we have the courage to rise?

Meet ourselves in the mirror,

Face the fears we denied.

*****

If only you could see

Yourself through my eyes,

You'd see love,

You'd see innocence,

Kindness, compassion,

A gentle disposition.

But if you don't believe

What your heart knows is true,

You'll never see the beauty

Of your own true self—

The real you.

*****

If life is but a reflection

Of our inner reality,

Break through the illusions;

Create a world where

Your heart dances

Light and free.

*****

Enchanted Doorways

Dancing to the rhythm

Of the bright silver moon,

Water sprites celebrate

The arrival of the groom.

******

By the light of the moon,

At the water's edge,

A man watches in wonder

As a maiden emerges 

From its depths.

******

The alchemist weaves

Golden threads of love

Into trees and flowers

Mountains and seas.

Elementals breathe

The magic of love

Into hearts wide open

Ready to receive.

******

Winged instruments gather,

Creating heartfelt tunes,

The songs of the fae echo

Across mountains and valleys

Come June.

******

Beyond the field of flowers,

A spell is cast on high,

The wheel of destiny in place,

A child is born of the skies.

******

Beneath the cherry blossoms

A festive table awaits,

Wee folk raise a glass of cheer

To the bride and groom—awake.

******

The Way of the Rose

Petal by petal

The rose unfurls,

Cosmic spirals

Reveal her pearls.

********

The way of the rose

Compassionate, bright,

A beacon of hope

On a dark, stormy night.

********

Amongst the thorns

A single rose blooms,

The hand of love,

Of joy—renewed,

The hand that guides,

Dispels the gloom.

********

Spirals of love

In an ocean—divine,

Compass of the heart

In turbulent times.

********

Hearts meet, hearts transform,

Time and space no barrier

For the wave of love

And light reborn.

********

Sacred hearts rising

On the wings of a dove,

Heaven's light landing—

The miracle of love.

********

Petal by petal

The rose reveals,

A spiral stairway

Transcending the wheel.

********

The way of the rose

A sacred rite,

The pathway to align

With your divine light.

********

Love Letters

I wrote you a letter

Straight from the heart,

Wrapped in starlight,

Love's work of art.

*************

I received your letter,

Love's magic spark,

Little bursts of starlight

Embedded in my heart.

*************

In Plain Sight

In your heart, in your soul,

Hiding in plain sight

A story untold.

If you believe, heart and soul,

Billboards light up,

Your path unfolds.

Deep within—a golden bowl

Reveals the truth

Of a love foretold.

Reunion

You came to me in the light of day. A dream within a dream, your undulating form an invitation: to allow, to breathe, to feel. I hesitate, nervous of the destructive fires of desire. A pause—soft and tender—dissolving fear as the pure flame grows brighter, drawing me in, calling me home. Shining bright, we dance together as one—spirit and form, love reborn, the one flame united again.

Beautiful Chaos

The day you were born, hearts expanded, lives were thrown into willing disarray and cracks in relationships were healed. The first time we met, my soul sighed as love reverberated in every cell of my being. Now that you're gone, nothing's changed. My heart remains full, your smile still lights up my life and the love you radiate blunts the jagged edges of fences built around the heart. The purity of your light heals the world around you, and in turn, we remember how to love, how to be, how to live.
