Holding on to a broken vine...

I cannot separate the heavens, nor cut it from this earth, for we are born of star dust and placed to grow upon the soil from the beginning of our birth. Greet the sunshine in the morning, the moonlight in the night, and bless the quintessential moment that two souls bond with delight. I control the raindrops, you control the fire and pure is the essence between us that is truly love inspired.

The beginning of a story and end of a chapter.. 

the balance of living life and experiencing death. 

I am earth the elements pure, the wind does not whisper and neither does it roar. It moves the oceans, brings life to the trees in the dance on the mountain through the newly birthed leaves.  The rain does its calling it awakes from inside the restlessness emotions, where we live and we die.

~
Quiver not my spirit,the rain will come and go
and wash away the darkness and leave a
blanket of spring time snow.
~

The catkins are quickly fading, the willow told its tale 

and in its place are now leaves of green to cast the seasons spell. 

~

My soul does all the talking,my heart it cries so, 

for simple is the request of love,

like a crocus through

the snow.

To live and love as I stroll the earth under

the approval of the celestial heavens. 

I closed my eyes in fear I would see 

and then my heart spoke out to me.

battle fiercely,hold on tight, love

and joy,are close in sight. 

 

Holding on to a broken vine, can't climb , can't swing, fell and cried. The wind laughed and the sun sneered and soon the dark of night was near. My head  hit the rock and the varied stone, paralyzed I couldn't go,  tears fell and I yelled hello, but who would hear the silent moans. Leaves formed a bed from years gone by, some were rotted and others were fine. Holding on to a broken vine, all that is in sight, haunts the mind. 

Determination

A good mentor once told me" that in order to maintain strength and diligence one must be around strong and positive people, for the negative will drain us surely as a short in  the wiring will drain a battery taking all the positive charge and grounding it into the frame of the vehicle." When I heard the song " Your Raise Me Up" I thought about this lesson that I have carried with me, " that we absorb energy and strength from the positive and that indeed the negative energy holds us back.
Over the weekend many stories are shared between women, which provides us with a view of the wide range of  our trials and the tribulations that we are all placed in.Yes, some are more or less extreme than the others, but equally important to the person who needs to accept and rise above.
As I was reading the letters from my own mentor sent many years back, I must admit that I almost didn't relate to the woman who responded to the letters. I grew and  I am growing as we must all be and yet I found these important lessons from this great mentor to be as valuable now as they were the first time I heard them. I rejoice not in that I had to experience the negativity but that with hope, faith and determination we can and do rise above.
The world as we do seeks balance, for even mother nature if given her own way will self-destruct. How we go about finding this balance which is crucial to our well being, depends on our willingness to see and accept the gifts of life. If we anchor to a particular place in time we find that we no longer challenge ourselves and therefore we become stagnant with the failure to grow. Our abilities to grow, ultimately depend on our willingness, timing and the places in which we place ourselves.
With winter now behind us and the days longer, I find myself eager to both review the past and the present , strain through and retain the positive so that I may move forward. I had not been able to sleep for a few days my mind busy digesting the weekend and trying to bring some peace and direction to the moment. As I sit here thinking about the messages that are heard but not necessarily spoken, I find that my wants and my needs surface and are eager to be acknowledged. I placed my hand first upon my lips and I allowed myself to explore my own body. Slowly lips to cheek, gently down my neck and then I allowed it to arrest upon my heart. It is not in the action or the speed in which we explore but the ability to pick up on the energy, for each experience we encounter becomes a part of th we or  us.  Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, no tears  are to be found and yet an exhaustion seems to have brought me down off of the clouds.

 I am determined to find that place where
 my soul will no longer be restless, and

where I will fall without fear into the arms
 of comfort, respect and knowledge. 

Allow my heart the sight,  my soul the will and
 my spirit the passion to follow the path and 

journey forward. I believe that everything is 
possible and that love does indeed prevail.

you raise me up - josh groban with lyrics

Allow My Love to Hold You Through the Dark of Night

Love is an immeasurable amount of energy,

that simply awaits to be tapped.  

It has been said "that a blind man can see with his hands and a "deaf person hears through vibration", if that is so than a person in love can see via the heart and feel and touch through the soul. The importance of touch is so crucial, we all crave it in one form or another. Sometimes it is as simple as a hug, holding hands, an embrace, and more dramatic is that of a kiss or the sharing of the heart, but also we can be touched by the magic of words in the sharing of life. The positive impact can be everlasting and rewarding in ways that lead us down the path of dreams in  the hope of an even  more beautiful tomorrow.
I find that the common bond or the similarity of souls can open up a moment of dialog, which reveals that the stories and the characters have less to do with  a positive connection and more to do with similar values,emotions and our ability to relate, acknowledge and empathize with a kindred soul. My own ability might be a bit on the sensitive side, can pick up both positive and negative energy of even strangers in a room. Call it intuition, vibes or Karma, or maybe the gut instinct, but it reveals much about the people around us.
I must be on a second wind today and I find myself not being able to relax and so as I find this obsession with writing to soothe my soul, to connect my spirit in a positive way and to also open to direct my soul into a direction of peace.

If I had my say and my wishes all came true,
I'd feel your arms around me, as we gaze unto the blue.
Those simple pleasures that always come to mind, like
walking along the river , while time swiftly passes by.


If you could allow your heart to view my every dream,
you would see how wonderful life could truly be.
Unlock the gate leading to your soul, so that I could
feel the touch and allow your arms to hold.

If I had my way I cast upon the sea, a ship to sail
in your direction and bring your love to me.
It would chase away the darkness, rid the life of
fear and place a smile upon my face that can be
seen from ear to ear.

Just

Just open up your eye and see me waiting here for you,
open up your heart and let my love shine through.

Just take my hand and follow me, allow your the
ability to soar side by side with me.

Just believe that all is possible, that tomorrow is
waiting for you and I.

Just hold me for a moment, for an hour for
day or for the rest of your life.

... for the rest of your life.

Same Stars, Same Moon

My daughter and I had a mother and daughter day out. It was special day for many reasons and we seem to relate and connect to each other on many levels. But as I shared a bit of my dreams with her and my thoughts on life and love, she smiled , she giggled and she hugged me and at that moment she said " Same stars, same moon"Nothing can distance true love as it is as close as the breath we take and when you gaze at night into the dark of sky it becomes apparent how close we really are "  same stars, same moon"

Taste the sweetness of my love tender against your lips,
pull me ever closer until my heart to yours creates an eclipse.
It is not about justifying my love for you, but acknowledging
that our love can really make all our dreams come true.

Everyday I'll record my love  and script it to the heavens
the words of my love true. I'll never ever let the feelings
fade , for they became eternal as I share my world with you.

~
Same stars, same moon,
and the distance fades.

Same stars, same moon
each and every day.

Same stars, same moon
brings you near.

Same stars, same moon
and I can feel you here.

Two hearts as one,

when I fell in love...

The Calm Before the Storm

There is a silence in the hollow that even the song birds can't remove. I tried playing music but it always comes back to you. The sun is shining and still darkness can be found, as I sit here dreaming wish you were around.

Sings>Songs that teach you to sing,
encourage you to dance also
make you mine.

Dreams which allow you to feel,

and share in the day also make
you mine.

The Way You Look Tonight - Fred Astaire (Swing Time, 1936)

The soul dances to the memories...



Goodbyes are never easy and for some people they even become an impossible feat, to cut off the strings of emotion and move forward. In many ways everything we have experienced becomes apart of who we are and so we never truly remove those memories from our very own character.


Love it only works when both parties involved love with the same degree of passion, the scale cannot tip more heavily to one side or another. The moment two come together is when emotions rise so very high and the fire which burns creates a firework display of passion



Faith and hope and the desire to simply put words to music allows the child within in us to dream and believe and never give up. The dance on the clouds is simply a metaphor for the dance of dreams that we all embrace.


Each song is an expression of the artist who brings it to life, but to the person or persons who make them their own, they become a unique one of a kind experience.
As I find myself caught up in work and yet dreaming,I reach out and I pull you so very close, close that you can feel the love WEBOMH.


Sometimes I feel as close to death as I do to life and as I try to separate the emotions that explore the territory of each, I find myself torn between the both. One is equal to giving up an giving in and bringing closure and the other keeps me pushing and believing that all is possible with just a little faith. I was going to post the full twelve calendar ... but I thought limit it to the few with the greatest impact.

Fear it is a crazy emotion that can stop you from living your life completely, it can create unseen barriers and make life feel impossible. So as I play each song, in my heart and in my mind and deep down in my soul, I feel your love,your emotions holding me, embracing my spirit and my joy for life. Don't look down you might get dizzy and don't go to close to the end of the cloud you might fall off, but if your willing, I'll hold you close and we will "dance on clouds. "
~

They say infatuation fades, but that love last forever,

"put your head on my shoulder" I love you.

It is amazing what brings a soul back to life. In all reality I believe in kindred spirits, in the common bond of not so common souls.
