cloud nine

cloud nine state of mind

wandering through wonderland

her paradise found

orb weaver

super supple strength
glistening delicateness
ever new nexus

cells of the body of love

the cool moon shines

on her mountain soul

bright black wings flutter by

tipping off top rocks

one by one
toppling
to the waters below

misperceptions roll

beyond her wild awareness

her rocky foundation
tumbles through
a
portal

now
human
earthen
goddess
now
magically new

a high-moon dawn burns fog

delivering an owl's dandelion wish
red-tailed hawks soar

hare tracks draw
her attention
how long was I a mountain?

she wondered

as prayers poured
from her wide open love

dancing prayers
of healing
of forgiveness
of grace

scattering peace
sprinkling love
throwing gratitude glitter

lying at the roots of an ancient redwood
she heard with her heart
play, have fun, stay open, trust

we are sunbeams of the sun

we are waves of the ocean
we are cells of the body of love

bananas foster rhapsody

she positively devoted

her lovely starving soul

to an alluring language hero

emotions bloomed strong and sacred

a thousand warm promises believed

tears to cheers and back again

she drank his dream

ate his words

enjoyed his hands

fascinated, frightened and fighting

to survive he had her

please don't undermine my mind

understand, hold hope, hold me

with happy honor

protect this devotion

my quiet power needs a hug

please, be nice boy

float in respect with me, friend

join and hold care together

accept smiles of thanks

and dance to blue evening dew

find sweet easy peace

by remembering

i am on your side

end this scrambled head

knotty heart belly broke

holy doom gloomy

wing need starsun

big up and let love joy

dance like a motherflower

boldly she tore herself open and

bravely allowed herself to be gutted

her blue bloody heart lay barely beating

yet this love does not wane

wreckless hearted child

with scarred soul and heartsick ness

quit busting her agates

she's gone into the dark

to find the missing light

there she rips off her bandages

to dance, dance like a motherflower

this is where she begins
