Nostalgia
We stood in the rain
Clinging on for what was and what could have been.
When you left, I could still smell your scent in my palms,
The memory of you so real,
Until I finally had to wash you away.

A Mother’s Cry
Have you seen a woman cry?
Have you seen a mother cry?
She,
A pillar of strength,
Feels hurt deep enough,
That when she sheds tears,
The earth cries.
Have you seen a woman cry?
Have you seen your mother cry?
She,
The essence of love,
Unleashes all the pain,
She’s been holding
For all kind.
Have you seen a woman cry?
Have you seen your mother cry?
She,
The gentle warmth you crave,
Endures everything
For you and you and you,
Until earth’s water spills over.
In another life where our dreams wouldn’t be affected,
I’d invite you over
And cook you dinner.
Persephone
Dig deep into me
As if you’re trying to grab my soul
Caress it in your hands
As you feel me crying out
With pleasure and pain.
Devour me
And be one body, one spirit, one mind.
Feel my heartbeat inside you
In sync with yours
Until we beat as one.
To love profusely,
It is power
pure and magical
Dare to love wholeheartedly.
Unbind from the fear
Strung by layers of hurt
And submit to the experience of
Even pain and loss,
Beauty is fleeting
But that’s what makes it so clear and bright!
Beauty is fleeting
So we hold it while it’s there
Real light
And remember it when it’s gone.
We are the stars
That shine in the night
Shining bright
illuminating skies.
Shining still
Long after we die.

Dahhee, Full of Laughter
Girl who laughs from the deepest parts of herself.
It’s the jiggles and the wiggles that keep her feeling soooooo fine
Like the warmth of being pressed flesh to flesh in a big ball of love,
Laughing and talking love and plants and cacao,
And moving grooving swaying and humming,
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Giggles bubbling up through her throat and just being free to spin around until she falls down laughing.
Dahhee girl who found her way home. •••

Women!
Beautiful, strong, intelligent, goddesses.
Rise from the earth
The time is now to shift
The pain trapped on earth
And pick up the hurt and the sick.
Hold them
And mother them with love.
Soothe the children,
Wrap the scarred men in your arms,
Hand in hand with all your sisters,
With the power of your mother and grandmother since Gaia, Isis, and lilith bubbling inside you ready to pour out to cool the fire of the sun and alleviate those burning with fear.
The fire you feel is ablaze
With love,
A passion so intense it sparks new life
With Boom!
Rise from the mud and bloom!
It Is time to embrace our feminine power
Diffuse the turbulent chaos daring to explode
Breathe softness into chaos
Until the swell subsides
And we can heal the world with the power of our creative waters
With love
Unconditional love,
With compassion
Absent of judgement,
With truth
And honesty,
Pouring into the earth from where we came,
And ready to fly upwards home
To where we belong
With quiet knowledge encoded in our DNA
From the first woman
That we are here to create shift and balance
So that we can all thrive
In this beautiful paradise
Until we all merge into our whole self
Yin and Yang.
I remember my yellow teddy bear that had a pocket with a battery operated beating heart. Something about that moment is so clear that I feel that the thing I seek most is that kind of contentment. Being completely satisfied with what I have in the moment. A little bit of that secret pocket to hide my heart but you can still feel it and hear it.
I want to not worry at all about what others think and not ask for any more abundance but be happy in this moment with the things I already have.
I plant the seed of support and love that will continually bring in stability and an abundance of time.
