Poetry of Being- My Way Back Home

As I watch the snow drift… from the heavens above. I marvel at its wondrous glory. The way it covers green grass, pines and their mass, and the cones that peak from under its white blanket. How each individual snow flake unconditionally softens the fall of the other. Oh, how this magical scene of wintery bliss reminds us… That we, too, through collective consciousness, can live peacefully together just like this.

I step out into the sun and I squint into its presence. My heart opens as I feel its golden warmth befriend my soul. As I stand in the strength, of its cool deep blue touch. The ocean winds carry the salty mist upon my face… of that I taste. Its gift of charisma… its composure in spirit. Its strength in balance. In choir, its voice of perfect harmony. I surrender. Of this, my understanding… my way back home.

Poetry of Being Teacher- A Scent of Jasmine

A teacher arrived in my life some years back. His name Peter Blumenthal. He introduced me, on a profound level, to honesty, humility, character, gracefulness, perseverance, humor, integrity, devotion, and most of all love. Peter has Down’s syndrome. I tutored him for over five years at Santa Monica College. He now teaches computer skills and volunteers at the local gym. I was his tutor… he is my teacher.

A top a grassy knoll, upon a cliff. The warm southern breeze bearing the smell of Jasmine. Tall blades of grass brushing against my face, as I looked up into the sun. The power you behold… the unconditional warmth you bestow. The willingness to shine day after day. To give us light along our way. This light, not for a few, but for all. The sun so shines that we may live. Natures whisper… one of many gifts.

Poetry of Being — Nature's voice

It knifes through the water at incredible speed… its slick shiny grey and white body effortlessly breaking the surface with playful leaps. Its smile and sounds of language speak of love… calling to our souls. Its eyes so soft, filling our hearts with joy. A message from the court of the dolphins… our natural state of love comes from within… live in joy, grace, gratitude, playfully sowing our abundance of love.

Breathless, is in the presence of this… a lady. Her suit of armor, a brilliant shiny coat of rich red, adorned with glistening circles of black. Her arrival known, yet, strength in her charming silence. She will warm your heart with her reputation of luck, and dazzle you with her delicate manner. She is unassuming, tender, thoughtful, majestically poetic. Known as the Ladybird or Ladybug… Yes, for me… my Lady.

Poetry of Being-Twin Soul Sage

The first sign of light. Exploding stars collide in flight, across the galaxy sailed dipping, twisting, leaving a fusion trail of yellow and white, midnight steel blue sighs, of orange and red, as fireflies descending into the fading light of dawn. Two souls are drawn to this expression of song, its melodies tested, double rested upon the clef notes of time. Hearts beat rhythm, its birth a bridge, twin souls arrive.

A temple… as I sat. The arms I knew to be just that… of sage. The hot red golden yellow glow… swept its way across the pale white green leaf. Its subtle sweet aroma arose. Fulfilling its purpose, this place, of reverence and peace. Where its body danced in grace… as it moved at will, upon the currents its tail… a trace of where it once had been. Thus, the calming and clearing of space… gifts of the sage.

Poetry of Being – Redwood Bee

Rocked in the arms of its mere presence. The realm of its pure magnitude spoke to me of its commitment to us all. Roots reaching deep down into the dark rich soil of mother earth. Quenching its thirst as it reaches the heavens. Nutrients enriching its golden earth red appearance… offering the gift of its green pine fragrance. Its being gracing our lives with wisdom. Its very breath… or breath. The… Red Wood.

In a field of wild flowers. A place to lay my soul. The smell of earth offered gifts in living color… as a Bee dressed in brilliant yellow and black landed in song. Its legs laden with nectar. Its labor bearing the gift of sweet manna that would feed many. The instinct to care for others. The selfless act of unconditional love. Nature’s paradise within… “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.
