Separate but whole*

I have seem to come here with a truth

I was a product that was deep in a root

I sprawled upward and began to grow

A teaching in every moment that I know

Strength was within and I continued on

There was no end result in seeing it done

But behold that when I fell from my parent, the oak tree

They were no longer needed for who I found was me

I stayed silent for a spell and possibly journeyed a mile

Until I was comfortable to stay awhile

For now it is my turn that it is to be born

To become once again that oak tree, the acorn

The situation arises lightly*

The situation arises lightly*

A disturbance that cannot be kept in

Wiggle room side to side to begin

A depth cannot be submerged no more

The key found the lock to open the door

Ripples intensify to start to become waves

Something arising from an unconscious grave

A Soul* within ready to take its plight

Revealing to the surface, the depth from that light

Strength speaks wisely*

Strength speaks wisely*

It is the end of autumn, time to let go

Many have already done so, still some do not know

To those that ignore this, pity them with nothing to be fulfilled

A horrific cry of misery calls out soon from the chill

Not to listen from this as the third season has spoke

But the wisdom from this tree is strong, it is the mighty oak

A "step" within myself*

A "step" within myself*

I was so innocent when I came into this place

Freedom in not knowing moving about in this space

But ignorance sets itself against who I am

It is now doubt, this way of life is the plan

A reality that walks as a shadow next to me

I am the captive of myself and not to be free

Somehow I know of something that is so deep

To escape these clutches that it cannot keep

There is another side to this consciousness that I know

To put an end to this and let it go

Yes this was the first step and it was to suffer inside

In such letting go, to do it in stride

I since moved on as now there is joy where I be

Happiness is growing steadily, I feel love within me

Seeing that I have such contentment in being right here

The picture is more in focus, it is becoming very clear

The journey is nearly over, like I climbed to a mountain top

Awareness kicks in and now I cannot stop

Yes there is something that awaits for me to see

What is there is now here, it is me that sees me

The naked blanket*

The naked blanket*

There is a change coming, feel it in the air

The picture is dying out, you see it everywhere

Even though the beauty, temporarily was here

Now it has come to let go, nothing in nature interferes

The wind is colder and it blows all around

It makes the leaves do a dance in the surround

There still is a bit of life that slowly continues on

But it just knows that soon it will be gone

The trees show their nakedness as it is their truth

They have to live within and feed off their roots

Ominous to be, that a winter will be here soon

To make this emptiness, a blank canvas and more room
