Sea Within
“Facing blue waves of uncertainty,
I place my hand on my heart
to honor the sea
in me.”

Robyn Lee
Please enjoy this excerpt
from Renee Robinson’s
wonderful poem entitled:
Rainbow Of Souls
~~~
The tide washing in
The tide washing out
The current a powerful force
Living in the rhythm of the sea
Alive and breathing
She welcomes me
Standing on a cliff
Way up high
The sea beneath me
Her mist salting my tongue
Her breeze exploring my hair
Imprints in the sand
Her breath, we share
I hear her voice
In the sea air
She calls my name
I hear her heartbeat
Crashing on the rocks
I see her there
I dive in her waters
Within the splashing
Aftershock
I love the sea
I was made for her
Or maybe
She was made for me
She is the past
The present
And the future
She is history
Mystery and
Eternity
The stories she tells
The treasures hidden
All part of her destiny
Alive and breathing
Living in the rhythm of the sea

Calming Fear
pressed
like
a pancake
flat on
my back
help me
find
my arms
my legs
my breath
help me
feel
the warmth
see beyond
the fire
help me
float
between the
blankets of fear

Special thanks to fellow-blogger and friend, Meryl, who wrote this emotional poem for her own post last week entitled, Help.

Please visit Meryl’s site at Recovery Thru My Lens to view her photo, and read her own personal narrative, Help « Recovery Thru My Lens reflective of her post…sentiments many of us can empathize with.

Shadow Lover
Take me to the green in youThe secret valley beneath the sun
Hidden behind the whispering ghosts
Of whom you pretend to be
Open up your mossy arms
So I may open mine
And wrap all limbs round your spirit wide
To exist as half no more
Bring me to your mossy floor
Beneath the shadows of your fear
A raven bride in white
A ladder to your soul
Fold down your branches
Peel open your chocolate bark
So I may pour
As liquid amber
Through your very veins

Delighted that my image below, Prime Seats inspired fellow blogger, Wendy Strohm, to compose this lovely poem entitled Climbing a Tree which is reflective of her own childhood memories.
Warm thanks to Wendy, and hope everyone will enjoy !
There’s nothing better than climbing a tree
And being high up with so far to see
There are various branches on which to play
And I can stay up here for most of the day
This branch here is my galloping horse
And the string I’ve tied are the reins of course
That branch over there is for my friend
We talk so much – till there is no end
But this broad branch is my favourite one
As it’s slightly shadowed from the sun
And I cannot be seen from the first look
I can lay just here and read my book
I have brought an apple for my lunch
You can tell I’m here from the noisy crunch!
~Wendy Strohm
