Envelop

There are times

Sacred steps in nature

Have saved me from the world;

An untimely departure.

An otherworldly enchantment

Envelops me.

Choose

I choose to

Arise each morning and live.

To stretch and breathe and love,

In honor

Not only of myself and loved ones

But

To honor those who are no longer with us.

Slumber

She beckons

You;

Come hither,

Partake

In this fire

Of life

Within.

Drink well and deep the heat.

Now burst forth through

Those flames ignited and become

The dreams you

Left in slumber,

The dreams hidden from the others out of

Fear.

It is you.

You are the desire.

Phenomena

He is a phenomena,

A one and only.

And as the world that knocked him down

Keeps on going

She sees him rise ever so sure and steady,

And he keeps going,

And he keeps smiling,

And he keeps loving.

Bird

Watching the birds

Surfing in this

Ferocious wind,

The storm has arrived and there is more to come.

Visibility is obscured by the snow

Falling, falling, falling.

Wind gusts unforgiving.

The birds live on

Come what may.

Blossom

His whisper,

Gentle to her heart

Awakens her

And into the dream

They descend

Only to

Ascend after all is undone.

Transforming.

Metamorphosis;

Joined in the same journey albeit

Apart;

Blossoming in time.

Guide

Symbolism helps guide the way to the door of

Your knowing;

And into the stillness you go

Where these things are no longer needed.

Vampires

My momma told me

Vampires were real

So every night i would make sure the curtains

On the window above my bed covered the window completely,

Not a centimeter uncovered in case

A Vampire should choose to hover above me.

I would then crawl in bed

And get snug under the blankets

Placing my cross necklace on my neck over my nightie so any Vampire would be

Afraid to approach.

And I would stay still

And I would not breathe until exhaustion took over.

All those years I filled my head with the terror of make believe

When reality was worse.

Distraction.
