“I was just going to stand up
and
decide what to do after that…”

we stepped into a dream
we stepped into a dream
breathing in
cascading heartbeat doves
winging our way into love
*
we stepped into a dream
water-colored moments
Spring came into Autumn
no hint of the elusive phantom
*
we stepped into a dream
penetrating walls of silence
opening up new auras
and countless beaches
*
we stepped into a dream
for a little while
seeing moments of paradise
blossoming mornings of edelweiss
the Mountains of Banff
towering high granite
breath-taking banquet
windswept tree lines
sheer rock sublime
cool mountain streams
never-ending dreams
unique facets at every angle
invitation more than cordial
how small and insignificant we are
you stand tall as our guiding star
you weathered many a storm
each crack and crevice gave you form
here and there lightning seared a new path
majestically you withstood the wrath
kiss the sky with your beauty
we feel your strength quite acutely
Impasse at Mount Rundle
“Impasse”
the cowgirl treks the slope
grabbing hold of tender branches
feeling the cool evening breeze
amid the tangled scratches
she drinks from the mountain stream
crystal ice soothes her thirst
snowshoe steps brings her closer
determination she does nurse
onward and upward she climbs
keeping her dream constant
seemingly unaware and persistent
in a cloud of unsure distance
then the impasse came
the path could not be found
no fault, no one to blame
the mountain–bare silence, no sound
her steps came to a blunt end
then around the corner of her eye
a new opening came her way
spiraling forth with courage
she created another day!
Crystal Death
the perfectly designed snowflake
came cascading down
on and on it fell
wind carrying it up and over
around and around
twirling once
twirling twice
spiraling forward…
at last, the crystal reached its final resting place
then…
all was quiet
no sound
Final Resting Place
the temperature dropped
the heartbeat stopped
mudholes and love crystals

yellow sunshine bolts
wind riding like a colt
brilliant, radiant light
azure clouds in sight
raindrop falling dew
mudslides coming through
feel it…mind it…drink it all in
drink it all…up to your chin
saturate your open heart
love crystals will do their part
you are a living breeze

August 20
the river of life
carried you to me
loneliness swept away
with a living breeze
*
lightness and quiet
are your ways
design and beauty
weaved in your stay
*
tiptoeing through mud
it never stays on your feet
the Earth is your cushion
never feeling defeat
*
eons of sapphire blue
found in your eyes
your smile so warm
a compassionate guide
enter the Sacred Space

*
your heart is broken
no words spoken
nothing more to say
nothing to make you stay
*
the pain is intense
no recompense
feeling the pain
release again
*
honor your inner self
do not keep your love on the shelf
honor the sacred space within
silence the backspin din
*
find the pieces one by one
find your heart…seek the inner Sun
focus on all that is good and true
quietly receive the crystal dew
Finding Your Voice
so important…for each of us…Thank you, Wildflower Woman, for your words!
“forgive me” moments
“Light Breaking in Jasper” October, 2013 Oil Painting by Jane H. Johann
forgive me
forgive me for doubting you
forgive me for doubting your WORD
Your WORD is YOU
Your WORD is true
It is the essence of all that you are
“In the Beginning was the WORD
and the WORD was with GOD
and the WORD was GOD”
You were being the Love of God to me
You were the LIGHT BEING
and I extinguished it
and now I regret it…
it is hard to recognize the truth
when countless times
the shadows took over
forgive me
and love me…
once again
