Into The Woods
Wandering … aimlessly
Venturing
into the
heart
of
your
evergreen
wood.
~
Reaching … trustingly
Taking
firm
hold
of
your
long
fibrous
branches
~
Sinking … intently
Grounding
myself;
Entwined
in
the
labyrinth
of
your
deep
faithful
roots
~
Hiding … cautiously
Seeking
shelter
beneath
the dense
brush
of
your
vast
eternal
strength;
~
Until
at
last
~
you
whisper
my
name
~
and
breathe
me
full
~
of
pure
pine
essence;
~
Transforming
conscious
being
and
~
Flooding
my
soul
with
~
Light.

My Mother’s Light
~
Just as the magnificent sun shines high in the sky,
my Mother’s light illuminates the heart of each
soul who is so blessed to know her smile,
her kindness, her radiance…her Love.
Happy Birthday Mom;
I Love you Always!
Robyn Lee
The Mother
~Kahlil Gibran
The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word “Mother,”
and the most beautiful call is the call of “My mother.”
It is a word full of hope and love, a sweet and kind word
coming from the depths of the heart.
The mother is everything– she is our
consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery,
and our strength in weakness.
She is the source of love, mercy,
sympathy,and forgiveness….
Everything in nature bespeaks the mother.
The sun is the mother of earth and gives it its nourishment of heart;
it never leaves the universe at night until it has put the earth to sleep
to the song of the sea and the hymn of birds and brooks.
And this earth is the mother of trees and flowers.
It produces them, nurses them, and weans them.
The trees and flowers become kind mothers
of their great fruits and seeds.
And the mother,
the prototype of all existence,
is the eternal spirit,
full of beauty and love.
Ladder To The Sun
Follow me
Follow me
I found a ladder
To the sun;
One step at a time
That’s all it takes,
Join our caravan
Of fun.
~~~
We’ll travel above
Silk purple skies
Our chariots,
The clouds;
Our path of night
Lit up by stars,
Moon beaming
Full and proud.
~~~
We’ll sleep in beds of
Puffy white, while
Sun gods
Keep us
Warm;
They’ll protect us
From those gusty winds,
And shelter us from
Storms.
~~~
So follow me
It’s single-file
Climb upward
One by one;
For each step we take,
Each wish we make
Means our journey
Has begun.

Miracle Of Blue
Like blue stars
clustered together
before a
glistening gold
sun;
Water droplets
cling
lightly to
smooth, powdery
skin.
They wait, anticipating your
craving for their
juice of indigo,
and bittersweet
flesh,
So they may
blissfully
grace the
buds of your
taste.

Classic Joy
In that pure perfect zone
Excited and free,
Wet luscious sand
Meets a vibrating sea;
Senses are flowing
Sights, textures, and sound,
As he makes his great mark,
In God’s timeless
playground.

Shadow Lover
The 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

Permanence
“There is a coherence in things,
a stability; something is immune from change
and shines out…in the face of the flowing, the fleeting, the spectral,
like a ruby. ”
~Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
Golden Threads
It is my pleasure to share this enchanting poem (below) which was
inspired by my post last week, Collective Dreams « THROUGH THE HEALING LENS ,
and written by David Whitman of Thoughts from the Outdoors.
Warm Thanks to David for honoring
my photo with his spectacular words!
~ Robyn Lee
And she spun the golden threads, dripping from the sun like shimmering jewels…
Silkenly falling refracting and twirling the lights like two rainbows mixed in a loving embrace…
Spiraling down, down down til the ground and trees dripped in emerald and vibrant sapphires…
This is the power of the solar god and a gentle god is she…
Nodding agreeably…
The sun went on glowing…
sinking and falling only to rise and shine again…
Pre-Season
The empty homes along the shore,
sit and watch their own front doors.
They know it’s spring and soon to come,
are summer dwellers, waves and fun.
Their peaceful life upon the sand,
will be transformed into party-land.
With music, grills and games galore,
their quiet life will be no more.
Invitation
Wind utters my
name
Bay sings softly,
an aria
Sunbeam kisses
my cheek
Clouds whisper:
Come in
