Candle Light

The flicker of a candle

Insignificant handle

That takes a room from dark to light

When every corner seems obscure

Your flickering shadows adorn

Providing light and even warmth

How insignificant a candle must be

To light an entire room

Unnoticed beautiful flame

Scented soothing aromas

Filling my nostrils and senses

Manifestation of places and faces

Spiritual haven

Wings of the Raven or Crow

Ancestral flow

In your light my spirit grows

Love is Peace

In the curves of a feather

In the breath of a wind

In the Allie’s on a street

Grounded country feet

Beyond turbulent sorrows

Into most peaceful waters

Is where you’ll find my mind

At ease

Because love is peace

Creating your own peace in turbulent times 🕊️🫶🏽

Dia de Los Muertos

The first breath of a newborn

is relief in the ears of a father

to a mother, a new life form

counting all fingers and toes

each hair, follicle, skin fold

immersed in the scent

of a new baby born

the last breath yet to mourn

knowing life is a cycle

to appreciate life

death must be life’s norm

one breath exhaled death

in a breath, inhaled life

because death is part of life

Reflections and Images

In the reflection of lust, you may need fixed

In the image of love, you are a work in progress

In the reflection of lust, you may be disposable

In the image of love, you are irreplaceable

In the image of lust, you may be broken

In the reflection of love, you are complete

In the reflection of lust, you may take a number

In the image of love, you are the one

In the reflection of lust, there may be possessions

In the image of love, there is always progression

In the images and reflections of lust and love

What you choose to see yourself through matters

Life through Words

Photo by Gabriela Cheloni on Pexels.com

To experience life at its fullest

Extasy resounding vigilance

Commotion diverting distortion

Chaotic organized emotion

Contortion flexible corrosion

sometimes extreme

sometimes unseen

subtle whisper in loud forms

To experience life in all its words

cutting wedges into pores

osmotic permeable roles

You must dare to open that one door

You must dare to live outside the “norm”

Levels in Pebbles

The ripple of a pebble

to a tiny insect

undeniable misery

The ripple of a landslide

sunami to the Human landline

the troubles of some

are struggles to others

catastrophic events

different levels

different pebbles

never permanent

it all cycles
