For what is broken
the stars offer
their medicine
of explosion
to every cell
turn every vein
into
stardust
love
and magic

The broken
In all its connection together we stand
This is life
in all its connection
born in divinity
in the ultimate protection of love
and somehow down the lane
the diversions lead some of us astray
away from the source
of the belonging to all
and while we are wandering
some of us stop wondering
that every breath taken is a breath shared
sacred to the bone
a remembrance of home
even apart
a reminder
we are never alone
banded together
in the seen and the unseen
so never doubt you are heard
and you are felt
and more than this
you are loved
beyond all time
and all space
in all its connection
together
we
stand
°Woodlights Woudlicht
For one to stand
For one to stand
take life by storm
carried by the sacred call
from the four directions
gathering
driven forth through water and winds
born out of love
inside the circle
taking all along
infinitely transforming
into the arrival
into one
into the arrival
infinitely transforming
taking all along
inside the circle
born out of love
driven forth through water and winds
gathering
from the four directions
carried by the sacred call
take life by storm
for one to stand
never alone

*** For Melissa Shepard ***
A purple sky
The wind blows my words to you
and somehow it seems to
unveil the stories of yourself to you
and I remain somewhere in the shade
watching the light unravel its rays
coming out
it voices the cries
of reminiscence
of recognition
of knowing it all without knowing why
and the moment when the wind brings rain
the thunder rises to a purple sky
I can reassure you
there is more poetry to convey
in the darkest of the storms
not by my words
but by your light
