I don’t fear Elsewhere.
But from never-ending now,
I beg a reprieve!
I continue to evolve;
In time the results will show!

The Freedom Shell #Poem
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:
“Seed of a Dream” Sue Vincent Tribute #Music
Download “Seed of a Dream” Mp3
What can I say about Sue Vincent? My words will fall short, no matter
how well meant. Still I will pay tribute to her life and legacy.
I only knew Sue from her blog,
Sue Vincent’s Daily echo,
particularly her #Writephoto posts and humorous “small dog” poems from
Annie’s point of view. I also very much enjoyed her posts on
The Silent Eye,
where she directed, taught, ran workshops, and mentored students in
their Mystery School.
Even throughout her illness and hospitalization, Sue continued to
share beautiful poetry, including her lovely #MidnightHaiku series
which has been published in book form. She never failed to inspire and
support her fellow bloggers, whether or not she had met them in
person. I am one of those bloggers. Her prompts provided the
inspiration for me to begin writing songs again, after a long hiatus.
In fact, “Seed of a Dream” is a piece I wrote in response to one of
her #Writephoto prompts last year. I’m sharing it today, played on
double strung harp and Coda EDC Flute, in loving memory of Sue
Vincent.
I invite anyone who would like, to share your favorite memories of
Sue, how she helped or inspired you, and anything else you choose to
share. I also hope this piece brings you comfort and peace in this
time of grieving.
If you haven’t done so already, please visit Stuart France’s post
sharing excerpts from Sue’s funeral service:
A Life Well Lived.
Blessings to all of you!
Earth #Etheree #Poem
Earth
Our home
Our mother
Sustaining life
Helping us survive
O let us do the same
Offering free compassion
To our mother and her children
People, plants, animals, resources
For how long can we go on without love?
Chasing Rainbows #Decima #Poem
The rainbow shimmers pure and bright
With hidden hopes just round the bend
And pot of gold there at its end!
O would it not bring such delights?
We think by day and dream by night,
Forgetting current time and space
For what could be and giving chase.
Yet meanwhile, as we race and run,
Our time has passed, and life is done.
How have we spent our given grace?

Bees #Nonet #Poem
A bee’s life is valid in itself.
We could learn so much, if we tried!
Living in community,
Taking just what they need,
Giving all they can!
We miss the mark
Looking out
For MY
Needs…

Playful #Poem
Let’s be as playful as a pup!
Be curious when things pop up!
Today approach the world with trust—
A novel thought for most of us!
So with abandon, let us play!
Whatever comes, enjoy this day!

Need #Poem
Lonely lives cannot
Exist for long! We must feel
Connected and heard!
Being alone we can’t stay.
Take hheart! Be strong! And move on!
Sing! #Triolet #Poem
The Spirit in me yearns to sing
And leave this Winter-life behind!
Embracing hopefulness of Spring,
The Spirit in me yearns to sing!
The body-mind imprisons me
In music of a darker kind…
The Spirit in me yearns to sing
And leave this Winter-life behind!
Tuning #Poem
We’re all instruments
Of Spirit, God, the Divine
Simply out of tune!
No one can bring us in tune
Until we choose for ourselves!
