Secret

.

An awareness while immersed. 

. 

Secret       -        20 May 22

Water surrounds me 

Holds the secret 

Of where I am from 

Where I am going 

The waters and I know 

. 

Knowledge arrives when it wants.

. 

Waves Calling

.

Listening to the whispers. 

. 

Waves Calling        -         05 May 22

Rain washed the wall 

By the path to the sea

Water to water

Down the hill 

Waves calling again

Across the sands 

Like all the yesterdays 

And tomorrow too 

Like the sea it calls 

In a forgotten whisper 

. 

The whispers are haunting and can never be forgotten.

. 

She Rises

.

A reimagining of the Venus story. 

. 

She Rises      -      01 Mar 21 

In the foam of an active sea 

A speck of beauty 

Shines 

The waves part willingly 

As the figure emerges 

She rises 

To claim the air 

As well as the water 

Soon earth and fire 

Will be hers as well 

. 

Beauty overcomes all. 

. 

Fragment

.

Observations on a day and the weather. 

. 

Fragment    -    04 Aug 20 

On a pool of water 

After the rain 

Drops disturb the tranquility 

A fragment of paper floats 

Ink gradually flowing away 

Just a couple of words 

Still remain 

love you 

The rain takes the Love message 

To keep it 

For itself 

. 

The back story would be fascinating. 

. 

Rubicon

.
Inspired by the crossing of the river and by a Tangerine Dream musical offering.

.
Rubicon     -     08 Jan 19

Feet wet shallow water
Exploring the land
On the other side
Wondering what can be found
On the banks of the Rubicon

.
Always exploring.

.

Rain On The River

.
Thoughts on water.

.
Rain On The River    -    04 Nov 18

Water to water
Sky kissing the river
With drops of rain
Wandering to the sea
Rain on the river
Travelling together

.
The rain inspired this poem into being.

.

The Well

.
An Haiku today.

.
The Well   .   24 Oct 18

Call of the Sacred
Inspires me to reach in
Water from the well

.
In this part of the country there are so many wells and springs, a lot of which are Sacred sites and healing wells.

Written In The Brook

Little Love notes can be found anywhere.





Written In The Brook  =  17 Jul 17

In the soft sand

A secret Love note

Scribed by the water

As it passes

I see beneath the ripples

The brook cannot hide

The message for me

Keep your eyes and mind open.

Drifting [Acrostic]

I have not offered an acrostic for a little while.





Drifting [Acrostic]  -  10 Aug 16

Down on the water
Ripples repeat the sun
Infinite dance
Fresh words carried
The stream echoes
In sparkling image
Never repeating
Gifts of ligh





Playing with words.

Water Edge

Mental observations of the day and how it felt.





Water Edge  -  05 Oct 15

Cloud holds a phantom stream
An edge of water
That still cuts
From the low-flying cloud
Parting waters
Parting thoughts
Damp
Curtains of cloud





Visions of water form clouds.

Water Quest

Another image gleaned from a journey to collect real, fresh drinking water.





Water Quest  -  20 Feb 15

Painted jewels
Waters dance under trees
Throwing gems
Into the branches above
Pausing in my quest
To watch the crystal shine
I walk on mesmerised
Sparkling water





So pleased that the water source is so close.

Dolphin Play

Thiis poem was inspired after my dear friend dani showed a Dolphin image on her blog.  It seemed really fitting that this poem should grow from that posting.





Dolphin Play  -  21 Oct 14

Gently moving waves
Play among them
Dive into bliss
Come with me
Slide through the water
Move against each other
Spiral into the deep
Fly into the Infinite
Together





The blog page that inspired this poem is:

I thank her again for the honour of her post.

Water Theme

Playing with the concept and remembering.





Water Theme  -  11 Aug 14

Between the showers
Dodge the drops
Walking beside the river
To where
Water pours free
Drink

Ocean’s roar
Carried by the wind
Wakes all five senses
Reminds the body
Of what we are
Where home lies





Another journey to collect drinking water inspired this poem.

Song Of The River

Collecting the drinking water recently, I walked beside the stream for a short while and was aware of all the sounds made by the river and the birdsong all around.





Song Of The River  -  21 Jul 14

Listen to the music
Song of the river
In a moment
Of quiet awareness
Sound of water
Dancing over rocks
Kissing tree roots
Inviting birds
To add the high notes




A Lovely experience on a Lovely day.

Wave

A water based Love song for someone special.





Wave  -  25 Jun 14

You are the wave
That washed me
Into your sea
Taking me away
Into your Love
Showing me
What you are

You are the Love
That makes me grow
You are the one
I have waited for
Through all my lives
The Love I have craved
Always

I will ever walk
By the water’s edge
I will ever walk
With you by my side
And the dream of you
Will always remain
In my Heart





I say no more *grin*.

Hours

A Love song around the theme of waiting and being ready to move into the next stage.






Hours  -  27 Mar 14

Remembered hours
Time spent together
Shared thoughts
How fast it went

Hypnotic sparkle
On the water
Time slows as I wait
Knowing you return

All our future hours
Waiting for us to enter
And wrap ourselves
In our Love





Always ready ...

Water Of Life

Inspired by a Rumi quote ~ I felt the message was interesting enough to build a poem around it.




Water Of Life  -  13 Mar 14

Water of life
Flowing from Love
To Love
Eternally

We drink from that stream
Filling our Hearts
Flooding us with the Love
Making us complete

Water of Love
Flowing from Heart
To Heart
Endlessly





It is a beautiful message.

Zen Thoughts [Haikū]

Another little Haikū, just because it felt right.





Zen Thoughts [Haikū  -  19 Nov 13

Ripple in cold stream
Pebble cannot be un-cast
Water not frozen





Cold but no ice yet.

Calling On The Sea

This is another of the "home is calling" poems with a hint of Love song added into it.





Calling On The Sea  -  11 Nov 13

On ancient waters
Sailing
Slow with a breath
Your breath
Waters still
We move gently
Invited by the sun
To rest on
The distant shore
That calls us …
Calls us home





I Love these gentle songs.

Map Of The Amethyst World

I had intended to post this yesterday but felt that the poem I did post was, in a lot of ways and for some good reasons, more important.  So I now present the Amethyst Map,





Map Of The Amethyst World  -  01 May 13


Footprints on the waters
Cleaving the waves
Diving
Spiral dance
Water born
Carried to the depths

On crystal paths
We walked
Invited on
By a Dolphin’s song
Across the map

Crystal halls
Surround and shine
Through our dreams
Where mysteries are told

Records in the Amethyst
Inscribed ~ shown
As we read

Dolphins give us Amethysts
Then request that we

Move on





I can feel that there are more Maps to come.  I know that Muse would like me to add more.
