 ~*~ Sister Of The Circle ~*~The Moon will soon be full, On a gentle whisper of mind’s eye, Once more my journey begins. The smell in the air heralds, Its proud announcement Of changes of the season. Colors of promise so gently Wash over my ardent soul. Promises of spring scent the air. They float like feathers in the sky, Bringing kisses of renewal and rebirth. The ground beneath my feet is softly Blanketed in petals of hope. The earth tenderly begins to wrap me In her silent blanket of care. I bow my head to her in reverence. With eyes sprinkled in wonder, I am humbled in supreme honor As through the light I witness The beginning of my blessing. The night winds start to sway, Flowing and shifting gently Dancing to the prism of the sunset. Soft shadows permeate the mountains, Gentle, warm and still so new. Within the uteri darkness Of an unborn infant, Inevitably, inexorably, No shift moving to the light. I wonder, sense, feel, With eyes half-closed. Mind takes flight to a dream, This magnificent dream, That speaks to me in whispers. One moment wrapped in the delicate Fluttering of filigreed angel wings, The next held in the firm, Powerful beating wings of an eagle. I have a yearning, an ever constant Aching for the message, A need to understand the light. I am left with residual feelings That like a child playfully, Haunt and tease me, but Ultimately compel me forward. My journey continues. It is simultaneously beautiful, Encountering, fervent, disquieting, Tense, yet so peaceful and serene. But in it all these many feelings There is constant tension, agony, A throbbing that drives me forward, Softly imploring me to ever search, As this is the only direction for hope. For there is the place, the only one, Where I may find a possible resolution. There an interval, a moment of peace, Its great rapture of love only comes And tantalizes for such a brief second, As the next cycle soon begins In the never ending circle… The circle of life, and death, Sadness, happiness, light and dark, Evolving and circling upward, Towards ever more. Incandescent and translucent, Spirals of pure energy and light. A web of time, a collage of mystery, Beauty, pure love, and eternal peace. For a true heart's journey never ends. *~ Dedicated firstly to Willow White Feather ~*~ ~* For she inspires*~ ~*~And all other sisters of the circle~*~ From sister ~ Strawberry Moon ~ Art: Estacy By: Maxwell Perry (1870-1966) http://www.primenet.com Music: Spirit of the Lake By e’lan Michaels http://members.nbci.com/elanmichaels ~*~ Mysteria ~*~ © Copyright 2001 All Rights Reserved Take your work seriously, but never yourself. ~*~ Dame Margot Fonteyn ~*~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 03-30-2001).] |

Oh, Mysteria...how your velvet words of beauty embrace my heart like the winds that have traveled across the ocean's face in search of tranquility and serenity upon the shores of beauty. As your magical creations always do...this simply took my breath away and left me spellbound. Standing ovations to you, my sweet friend. Happy weekend, and many blessings and smiles sent your way! Luv, Martha |

I do believe this is the very first time tears came to my eyes reading comments: Marge ~*~ That was why I wanted a voice, to put my mind's picture together - so glad I did you justice, or close to it! Martha ~*~ Well I knew you would like it as you are constantly on your journey and anything you touch feels love. Have a wonderful weekend too. Melissa ~*~ Just when I think I am never good enough someone like you helps me keep trying, thank you. Sunshine ~*~ You bet you can join in - the "sisters" know who they are, and never need ask to be invited, they belong there!  |

This was very beautiful, Sharon. Very mysterious, the haunting melody was marvelous and did lend beauty to your words. Blessings to you, Kate Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. |

this is beautiful I'm sure she loved it, not sure what the circle is, so I guess I'm outside of it! Kathleen Blake |

Kate: As always thank you for taking the time to plow through my epic babble. Irish Rose: Boy...the circle is a pretty hard thing to explain, but let me say this, if you do kindness to another human being every single day, and know that is your purpose to make others smile, or comfort them, then my dear lady, you are indeed within the circle of life, please come on in! Cheryl: Glad you liked it - I knew you would! Thank you. |

Mother Earth: I can't thank you enough - it is the image in your mind that means the most to me - I am working harder on that aspect of poetry and you dear lady, just made my day! Thank you. |

Mysteria, This was awesome!!!! The picture, words, and music work so well together to capture the essence of the circle. Wonderful writing!!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
