Reaching...

 How are you, my Love?

Tired, so very tired

To think creatively, I desire

It once was easier

Or was it?

What have you seen recently?

Red -- Rose blossoming from Fertility

Orange -- comforting Hue gently sits on the southern dark Horizon where Beach meets Ocean; Elephant and Tiger accompany me upon the Sand while Whale swims along in shallow Waters

Yellow -- bright Sunrise springing from Darkness while my star-friend Martin sits with Pog in the Yellow Court
Green -- four-leaf Clover arising from Sunrise reaches upward into Sky
Blue -- wide-open Vistas inviting Creatures out to play
Violet -- small, feathery Plumes display their beauty upon thorny Pods

White -- Clouds shifting shapes while dancing across the Heavens

How do you feel now, my Love?

A little more at peace

Even in my fatigued state

These images remind me that

I am connected

These images arose as I delved into a guided-meditation course using Solfeggio frequencies and colors, each as they relate to their corresponding chakra. (In this course, the crown chakra is represented with the color white.)

Now and Then (2009)

~*~

I've recently run across some old poems... 

Adding some of them to my online anthology...

 ~*~

What is it that I seek

Peering past, o'er my shoulder

If only I had rear eyes

My neck would get some rest

Why not stop?

About face, look forward

Vista wide

Neck relaxes

Until I strain too hard

Failures, losses

Successes, gains

Some past, others future

This moment

The only guarantee

Time in a bottle

Moments in pictures

Dreams await in visions

This moment

A time to sow

Feel Me (2007)

  ~*~

I've recently run across some old poems... 

Adding some of them to my online anthology...

 ~*~

Turn off this static

that fills my mind.

Flee to the woods

this soul of mine.

Arms outstretched.

Face to the sun.

Fill my senses with wonderment!

Fill my lungs with life!

Fill my heart with freedom!

let me taste the prism hues

let me dance upon the rainbow

let me touch the sky

Fill me!

Feel me....

Let me know I am

ALIVE.

As I'm rereading these poems from decades past, I read about a woman in distress. And, in 2007, I'd say that was true. (There've been other years of distress too.) I felt I was battling for my mind, maybe? January 2007 was when I began to experience and see that the anti-cult movement could be just as cultish as the cult. I received a big dose of this understanding in the subsequent years. 

I also began to see that "cult" behavior is human behavior but taken to an extreme. 

A blog post from 2018: "Cult behavior is human behavior..."

Toxic (2007)

 ~*~

I've recently run across some old poems... 

Adding some of them to my online anthology...

 ~*~

I feel entrapped

Wearied I am

Yet nothing I've done to be weary

Snap these invisible bonds!

Catapult self-righteous demands

to the farthest breadth.

I desire

rest

verve

depth

But all I hear are these jumbling torrents

Venomous words run through my head

"STOP IT!"

I cry to no avail

Emotional masochist that I am

This insanity within...

Do others know it too?

Let me run naked through the woods

Live among the wild beasts

O survival!!!

To live by instinct

I am too cush in my middle-class life

Bound by society's standards

Does it not make brute beasts of us all?
