Tenderness and Uncertainty by Evgeny Makarov

Uncertainty
A precious moment
Of uncertainty…
Casts a shadow of doubt
To be faced and overcome
Each one is a gift…
Truth in disguise
Laid before us
An opportunity
To choose again.

There is a solace
 
In the rise of the full moon
 
A tender caress
 
 
 
Blessing each of us
 
With renewal of Passion
 
Love and Devotion

Walk with me now
as we turn away
from the light of day
Let us remember
the joy and warmth
we have been blessed with
Let us hold hands
in the darkness
and know that we are not
in the shadows
For they too
only exist in the Light.

PARADISE
 
In our search for paradise
 
we forget to open our hearts
looking for something
we cannot see
 
we forget to feel the vibration
of the music
we cannot hear
 
paradise the eternal song
surrounds us
in loving refrains
 
lifting us out of these bodies
caressing us tenderly
 
so precious we are
…. her children

A Melting Vigil
 
Always keeping vigil,
heart open – receiving…
 
At the ready, to welcome
the seemingly vast,
yet tiny portal.
 
That, One Moment,
rising up from within
a flicker of Light,
 
Expanding in brightness
until it reflects us all,
no separation, no need,
no suffering, no fear
 
Melting away
the wax figurine…
 
Revealing our treasure…
 
Consciousness…
Immortal Awareness.

3/1/11 York, Maine – CRB

While sitting at my kitchen table eating my mid-day meal I was looking out my window. This wonderful view captured me and engaged me to go and retrieve a note pad and write.
It was the contrast of the Maple tree against the sky and the promise it held of change that inspired me. 
 
MARCH MAPLE TREE
Delicate branches
Rising up to greet the blue sky
Still barren but hopeful
Roots frozen
Not able to see
The Sun’s rising path
Waiting for the warmth
To send it’s message
Of welcome
Welcome to a new
Season of Growth
As the snow recedes

Angel Wings by Soul Colour

Love Kindness Happiness Peace
There are days
when (i am) less
than all the possibilities
offered to me.
It is those times
that the kindness
and love given,
returns.
In the silence
it lifts me
on translucent wings,
to a freedom
and a joy
to give again.

Lifted

We climbed for an hour in near total darkness to get above the Old Man of Storr for sunrise. Nothing prepared us for the drama we witnessed. ~ Gary Howells
 
 
Lifted
 

Sitting on the edge of darkness
the light seems very dim,
my heart is just a memory;
a faint aroma on a night of wind

Fear not I say, for this will pass;
the ancient cry of loneliness
is all that will beckon us,
when time has come at last

Weak and low I know not fear
for Love has kept me here;
sweetly, kindly, gently,
lifting me ever higher now, 
brighter I become.

Such openness ~ we can learn a lot from flowers – Cathy Ginter
FLOWERING
In the core of my being, I am you
and we are wrapped in many petals
of diverse form and color.
Yet still, within we are divine.…
Come inside now and help me
spread my Love, so that all
may enjoy my life giving essence.
~ Riverman
Come Inside now and help me

An angel appears in the frozen wilderness
saying, “My child you are beautiful”

Who but the angels in our midst
can lift us with their wings
and who can deny them their presence
May your angels always dance and sing
and bring you heavenly joy

Lush greens and silent sentinels
a memory to be renewed come Spring
We sit now silent… bare,
cold, near frozen… waiting
to return

Whose fingerprint rests
under the shadow of man
only that of the Creator

One more that was just written tonight while listening to this wonderful song 

The Xpression Of Love

the smile on your face
your  tender voice
the soft touch of your hand
these are the gifts
worth more than gold
priceless gems
treasures of a moment
that write on the heart
eternal messages of Love
Charlie Riverman Bergeron 2/6/11
