#Crossings #writephoto prompt #SueVincent

It’s been awhile since I’ve participated in Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompts. Life has been busy and has included a trip to this land that feels like home.

Crossings

I looked at the bridge framed in green

To that faraway place where I felt I belonged

Wanting to step through an image that looked like home

“But you are already home, my child”

The voice inside felt like comfort

Soundless to the ear, but not to the heart

I knew it to be mine,

 but not wholly mine

So, I went inward to walk beneath the bridge

I painted the water with my toe

and watched circles

spreading rings outward

like the voice inside

 I knew to be home

#Splash #WritePhoto Prompt

It is said water is the keeper of memories

Can you see fear splashing

into the well of joy?

The struggle of the self

to be individual

breaking waves

of separation

feeding life for a moment of time

until drought brings death?

Can you see the return of the drops

collecting into adhesion

Concentric circles spreading

union until the ripple disappears?

#Waiting #Writephoto Prompt

waiting

Create your own sunshine, she said

The walls you erect around you

hold the body, but not the soul

It is the mind’s choice to walk the corridors

of the shadow-land

where fear lurks as a transparent ghost

waiting to possess your form

Why pace the hallways you have already traveled

back and forth

as though Time can be captured?

What are you waiting for?

The return of a joy that slipped by you

after kissing, for a moment, your eager lips?

 you, who are forever returning to the ghost

that wants to feed upon you

When the choice is always within you

to live free

in the boundless now

  illumined in the full glory

of the ever-present soul

I dreamt of holding white dresses

like a wedding

because we all seek to be adorned with beauty

don’t we?

A brown cake rippled

in frosted garlands by a child’s

hand guided with a confidence

so easily lost to age

My feet run the hallway of records

life’s footsteps echoing off walls

which seem so solid to the mind

The light beyond the tunnel almost

an illusion

when matter enfolds the path

And so it is that we become

a branch of a tree

reaching toward the sun

A drop in the ocean

seeking the wave

A heartbeat drumming

the Earth’s pulse

Knowing the Self

is an infinite part

of the Whole

the waters of Life

are birthed forth

from the great womb

they travel the cosmos

in a spiral dance

collecting in clouds

that part the dusk of illusion

raining into the body

that is your life

and also mine

Between #writephoto prompt #suevincent

between

Sometimes, or maybe quite often life

opens a path unexpected

parting the sides to test

separation

of the yellow center

inside that responds to the will

that can divide with the mighty belief

that I Am more special than You

becoming the forced path

to nowhere

unfulfilled

the I continues to seek more

until it discovers Joy

can only be found in that quieter path

which opens to a spiral

ever-turning inward

while expanding outward

to the same sun

that is within and without

separation

They put the candle over his head

to light the darkness of the crown

Where his body lies in decomposition

a trinity of swans hovers above in remembrance

of what can be lost

as well as what continues on

A poem for 2/23/18

On By Alethea KehasIn Poems, Spirit Channelings10 Comments

Sitting with irrational fears is worth an exploration. This is what came through today:

Junco on plant hanger

Relax into the faith of unknowing

Time whispers promises to those who wait

Unfolding through the now of the eternal present

Unwraps the gift of the self

♥

Let go of the shield of delusions

Fear gripping the heart wears a false hand

On a body of decaying wants

♥

To shed the shell of the outer

Examine the pieces that you have stitched together

Then pull the threads through truth

And let the lost voice sing

Its forgotten song

And the gods declared, “Let there be Light.

Again,”

while the body of the goddess stirred

the sleeping masses

For thousands of years

Man held the circle in the chain

of Fear

choking the life within

and also without

Only the stones can tell you the Truth

of  Time

They remember the sacred

as well as the broken

Open your heart to

touch their stories

 Birth, you will learn

requires a death

Not one, but many

Will you die

to be reborn

to remember

the Circle

again

Born into the illusion of separation

you thought life was a climb

 to a blue heaven

until you looked below

discovering the mirror of reflection

and the path of the shadow

pointing inward

to the light
