Remorse

What have I done
My last quake killed all
destroyed mountains
contaminated seas
ruined forests

True
I hated man’s abuse
Their arrogance
Stupidity
Insensitivity

I hated their greed

Their petty wars 
Not their final demise
It was me

My anger 
solved nothing
My destruction
solved nothing

Now I’m alone
Victim of my
hot headed temper
Anger served no one
Did no good

Parallel Worlds

Worlds apart
Worlds interwoven
Parallel universes
Different dimensions

Roots planted here
Souls dance there
Past Present Future
Non-existent

Multiple realities
transcend time
transcend space
All connected
One universal
energy source

The Veil

This morning
When I awoke
Surrounded
By thick gray veil
I didn’t see you

I couldn’t see
Your body swaying with the breeze
Your leaves dancing in the sunlight
Your limbs reaching toward me

I panicked

You are not there!

My heart ached with sadness
Where are you?
Will I see you again?

The mist finally lifted
You appeared

You were there!

My limbs reached skyward
My body bent towards yours
My heart sang with joy

You were there!

Regression

One day fish will fly
not in our lifetime
but some day

Earth beings will
evolve to extinction
induced by
corporate greed
gene manipulation
poisoned food
toxic vaccines
chemtrails

 But nature is resilient
life will begin again
in a new way
with renewed hope

 We will see it
from the other side
and rejoice

 Our souls
once again
will inhabit earth
in another form

River of Dreams

I stand on the shore
Of the river of dreams
I am its guard,
guardian, gatekeeper

When the sun sleeps
And the moon awakens
You travel in my river

Close your eyes
Release your thoughts
Drift into restful slumber

Immerse yourself 
Flow with its current
Let it take you
Where you need to go
Slip
deep
deep
deep
Beneath the surface
Free your unconscious

Dream

Face your fears
Dance with your demons
Nourish your soul
Heal your heart

– Shelley Lowell
