Winged Woman

Fall or don’t fall
The trick is to jump
And see where you land
In sky or sand
Your wings will flap if they can
And hold you aloft
In heights you hadn’t even dared to dream of before
And if your wings are not strong enough yet
To keep you held mid-air like a fairy
Then fold your wings around yourself
Like a cocoon
Like a ball
So that when you fall down, down, down, to the earth you will not break
You will simply roll
Towards something new
Towards something closer to
You

Fall or don’t fall
The trick is to jump

The Only Way Forward Is Together

Posted on by under Poem

The whole world aches

The whole world is sore

The pain of the wound is too deep to tend to alone

The weight of the wound is too heavy to carry alone

So we must carry it together

And as each hand joins to carry the wound, hands clasping together, united,
Another stitch is made

And we come closer to healing

And closer to each other

Closer to the source of consciousness which tells us: we are all one.

I cannot hurt you without simultaneously hurting myself. I cannot feel without you being affected. Any feeling within me, be it love, anger, joy, or pain, ripples through the thousand invisible connections and is felt by you.

There is no difference between you and I, only space, only barriers, only skin, only molecules, and even that is an illusion

The only way forward is together

The Dragon

You have a certain sharpness about you
Like a dragon almost
Or some sort of unusual species of snake

I know the question you’re asking yourself
The worry which is rapidly coiling itself inside your mind
And yes
You are venomous
The venom is rich within your blood
But the difference between you & the others is that
You don’t use your venom to bite
or kill
You use it to heal

The venom you have isn’t poison
No
It’s like an antidote
To a wounding that already took place long ago
And when ingested, it pulses through the veins like rapid fire
Consuming and transforming and sending love to every element and fiber of the person’s DNA
Until the wound is healed
And the person is whole once more

You are the dragon that walks in fire and smoke
And breathes light into the dark corners of the soul
I witness you in all your beauty
And with all your sharp edges
And I am in awe

You
Are
Magnificent

The Twister

My dearest Roan,
Don’t be afraid.

Toss up the winds!
Let them roar!
Welcome the twister who knocks at your door.

Now is not the time to stand firm and unmoving,
Like an old, decaying castle, bombed after battle, with holes in your side,
Crumbling apart but refusing to fall,
Now is a time to let go
To jump into uncertainty
There’s no stopping the winds of change
Once they’ve decided to blow down your house

See,
Here they come now,
Ever closer,
The uninvited guests
Barreling towards you at fantastic speed
Howling like a pack of wild dogs

So let them come
Allow yourself to be swept away
With arms open
Into the wind
Whatever it holds
Sometimes, its the only way to fly.
