love without reason or rhyme
in a world out of time
every time i recall
love or truth
you are here
in my heart
where each day fills with joy
and each moment holds truth
that soon all will cease to be
out of time
when we dance free
of our bonds
free of time.
live within reason and rhyme
where each day brings the song
of the heart
to the world
where the dance becomes new
where the truth is reborn
where the joy is so sweet.
one of the gifts of my initiation has been the ability to sing. as a young girl i was kicked out of the choir for being out of tune. although i love to sing flo often teases me when my voice squeaks and wobbles and breaks. but when the ancestors pulls closer i lift my voice in song. the notes are sweet. the words flows from inside me and outside me.
i have moved from a frenzy of hunting for the right teacher, the right way, into a gentle acceptance. knowing that all will unfold in its own time. each breath is precious as it offers me a chance to transmute and transform each moment of existence. together with all that surrounds me. inside and out.
there is still plenty fear and anger. worry about money. waking up in the morning with a hollow feeling circling my navel. searching for something. but life has shifted. just a little bit. to the left? to the right? maybe up? maybe down? maybe it simply turned inside out.
i have opened my heart to love. to dreams. to guidance. to hope.
what a strange mystery we are woven into.
i love you mithril. i miss you.

The last line, lovely and so true.
The whole 'portrait' of growth..both in a common way...and in an etheric metaphor....is expressed herein. The choice of words and pictures hold a uniqueness all your own Hele...your heart is real and shows itself true to self.
We start out using a 'teacher' inside to learn from a 'teacher' outside.......and become lost among the externals until all 'rivers of thought' begin to join together....which sends us back within...where we originate.
Life is precious, Hele, and I`m glad you have returned to singing. Your pictures are beautiful, and so are your words. I wish you happiness, that is what we are here for.
I waited for time to myself to welcome you back, to drink in your words, sit with your images, fall back into your rhythm. I find your message to Mithril and my heart fills with your heart. You have been missed.

I am so happy to have stopped by today to read/see your poetry in images and words/worlds. I want to link your blog to mine...just gorgeous.
gentle steps,

These posts are always so consistently beautiful! The pictures, the thoughts....

your pictures stir something in my heart. some longing for vast, open spaces, for running, for feeling the wind and the warmth of the sun. and your words go straight into my soul, nestling quietly there. and it seems like everything will be ok....
Oh, Hele, this broke my heart open.
Thanks.

Oh Hele - I had forgotten how lovely and resonant your words are! I've missed you more than I realized. I think I might walk with you by the water in my dreams tonight :)
I can't choose a favorite picture out of these, but the stream by the trees, the sky through the branches, and the hand full of colors stand out, even now...
