Valentine’s Day is more than romance
With chocolate kisses wrapped in foil.
It’s a heart-felt, heart-shaped note,
An unexpected gift
Of faithful friendship
Deeply touching.
Carnations
Fragrant
Pink!

The earth again awakes to thrive,
For Winter’s frozen chill is gone.
As constant cycles move along,
With every breath we’re more alive!
Awakening with stirring life,
O may our minds renew as well!
Discarding limits, hatred, hell!
Though Heaven is no place on earth,
Within us from before our birth
Is Spirit’s resurrecting spell!
Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 54: (BIRTH) in the D rhyme line.
“Ignorance is bliss!”
“What they don’t know, can’t hurt them!”
Lies are illusions.
We lie to reduce conflict,
But only reduce ourselves…
Download “The Secret in the Stone” Meditation with Double Strung Harp Mp3
Approximate length: 5 minutes
Come! Enter the realm of mystery,
Where Truth is revealed to those who seek,
Perhaps not with eyes, but through sensing and feel;
It’s the wisdom to know your important and real.
Where you’ll surely be given that for which you ask
Toward fulfilling your purpose and passing life’s tasks.
Take a look at the stone, in this place, in your mind,
And uncover the message your Spirit can find.
Do not worry or fret; it is written for you!
There’s no wrong way to hear it, whatever you do.
You might read it or sense it or feel in your heart
Gentle words of the Spirit in music or art.
It may come in the quiet, in dreams, or in sound.
But however, whenever, your message is found!
You will feel when you’ve got it, your life’s cornerstone.
It will help guide your path, knowing you’re not alone.
For the stone that you see here is only a sign
Of the worlds you can enter and brilliance you find
In your own heart and spirit, your mind, and your soul.
For within you are perfect! You’re wise, and you’re whole!
The secret in stone is a secret no more!
Your Truth is revealed; it is clear and so pure!
Now return to your journey of purpose and path;
You can seek any moment for answers–just ask!

Written for KL Caley’s wonderful #Writephoto Prompt, The Secret in the Stone:
Thrilling with sadness
Unnaturally cruel
What a “human” trait!
Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 355 SAD and Thrill.
I don’t fear Elsewhere.
But from never-ending now,
I beg a reprieve!
I continue to evolve;
In time the results will show!
I need a place to share my heart
With all its parts,
Where safety frees
Anxieties!
Where others speak within their turn
And no one burns
With swallowed words
That go unheard!
Where everyone is valued so,
And this they know!
Encouraged well
To leave their shell!

A Minute Poem written for MLMM Lucky Dip:
“Look, Mom! No hands!”
I rode my bike with abandon.
And suddenly it became a horse,
My faithful steed,
Transporting me from the world where I lived
To the world where I wanted to live…
To a world without limits,
Free of judgments and pain—
A world of love
And possibility!
My trusty steed is gone,
A too small bike discarded.
But I still hold the magic
In my mind
And heart!

O let us dance and let us sing
In praise of beauty that is Spring!
As flowers bloom and songbirds sing,
There’s brand new life in everything!
We’re not exempt; we’re not left out
Of all the giving Spring’s about!
We can transform, without a doubt:
Just look within and let it out!
Let in the new! The old, release.
Let go of fear, allowing peace.
In harmony replace dis-ease
And safety calm anxieties.
We’re not alone—we have a guide,
The voice of wisdom deep inside,
The One who our true needs provides
And gives us heartbeat, breath and life!
So let us dance and let us sing
In praise of beauty that is Spring!
As flowers bloom and songbirds sing,
There’s brand new life in everything!

Written for Eugi’s Weekly Prompt, Dance:
https://amanpan.com/2021/04/22/eugis-weekly-prompt-dance-april-22-2021/
This poem started with just 4 lines. But as I wrote, it expanded. After I went to bed last night, glad to have written my NaPoWriMo contribution for the day, it occurred to me it would make a great song! And the music was there, so I captured it on my double strung harp while it was still fresh in my mind. When Eugi left a comment saying the poem could be a song, I knew I had to record it and include the audio here. So, here it is! Thank you very much, Eugi!

This harp is quite special, a fabulous thing!
A portable package with two rows of strings!
You’re hearing the magical, mystical sound
Of new possibilities looked for—and found!
O listen for echoing phrases intwined
To harmonize body with heart, soul and mind.
A pleasure to play and a blessing to hear;
We celebrate now: Daphne Phoenix appears!
And don’t forget Zephyr, the EDC* Flute,
A song in your pocket and awfully cute!
