MIRTH AND FOOTPRINTS
The beauty of nature
inspires my soul
to merge with my body
in this walk through life
A nudge from my divine essence
stirs pure contentment
like a ripple from its mirth
in a deep sea of joy
I have been its current and waters...
Many times before...
On the shores
of life, my footprints are clearly
revealing a higher consciousness
From my inner joy,
I experience life...
In my inner transformation,
my true passion emerged
I am the sun rising
or the eagle’s flight
focusing its view
enraptured
in the pureness of clarity...
I unravel my love...
In its true essence...
It is an all knowing awareness
like flapping wings announcing...
A sweet melody where I become music
merging with the notes; like an angel
Singing to my soul’s happiness
to ever expand my awareness and consciousness...
That comes from deep within myself...
like a powerful chirp delighting my heart
Shedding off debris
to become the wisdom and its sprouts. . .
to be my individualized I am in my experiences….
with the poise of a thoroughbred horse!
