Lios It is I who wrap the gifts of fairy dust Giving wings to the world Oh that I may be a beggar on the street To practice being vulnerable Otherwise, have I really lived? Thinking about unity and sage Wanting the stranger But to blind to understand Earth Magic belongs to us Treasures found, by the wayside I am the Talisman of a drawing bridge In study groups…left and right brain Why has it taken us so long to arrive? For me to understand I cup my hands…in grief Thinking of our children We cannot enhance ourselves until All the senses travel...teaming with holy place The shrine of daily life Our creation, energy we carry Heavy on the back sometimes We forget to be thankful I am the expectant idea, in this moment The clone of dirt and gratitude It is then that I will dissolve in water Where energy enhances And falls like rain It is not about what I get out of it But what I give in return The all permeating flow Does not contribute miserable things Breathing becomes a part of something My sacred man Of everyday life You are the air I breathe The sun that shines All permeating flow of energy Within our lives That is where many become one Where two meet in this holy place I look toward Maine and see bronzed dolphine sculptures Inkeepers of generations Holding close a North Face Without thinking where they are going And I wonder if I'm strong enough For another round of chemo? Will I be promoted to the window? Will Delta Soil be my funeral? or will I continue to live with trick mirrors There, see, another hour has slipped away from my life...another hour... I want so, to grow things To place a bib around humanity Hold Easter Egg hunts for all the children Teach them to bake small loaves To burn whore-hunting streets Instead, they smile and turn away Like I'm some uneducated dog until...until the day comes and it happens to them? |

There, see, another hour has slipped away from my life...another hour... yes, and that is it in a nutshell. We can't get time back and for all the things in the world that sadden people with hearts like yours and mine... time is precious, and now is the time...for them. Thank you Lee J...for this. Hugs. |

I am the expectant idea, in this moment ~*~ Not everyone will admit that anyone holds so much power... we deem ourselves worthless as we look around at other's accomplishments and make more of them than we do of our own... Be the idea...for it always starts there... |
