My Response to Setback

iPhone pic also by Leanne Margaret If I am knocked off my feet I will walk on my hands. If I am knocked off my hands I will stand on my head. Whether I am walking on my feet or standing on  my head, I will keep on flipping forward. One granted the power of fire, Will be driven by its combustion. Leanne Margaret (C) 2016

Whirling Dervish

Tight and slow with winter chill We were received into creation. Music strummed our lighted limbs. We were Venus and Mars. Earth centered our whirl and we warmed. Our hearts opened into ‘yes.’ Empty as space and full as eggs, Spinning chakras of a dance studio. Crying at the voice of the ‘call of the soul,’ Joyously answered. Creatures of earth en-souled. We remembered the big bang Back when we were stars, Sneezing planets into being. Orbits force spiraled energy, Like old dusters we spun away the junk, Opening our minds to catch the fractal light. He channeled stars and I could hear. Mercury spoke where language faltered. We became ourselves again, as light. Some were sick and wild with homecoming, Others danced their lifetimes of spinning. Spinning tops, laughing, falling, followed - A comets tail arced the room. White lights whirled above and below, Spinning colours of red, blue and violet, Scent of flowers, bread and even f

I Am a Horse

I must be a horse. Slim limbs twitch hyperactive, Spacious eyes on every gate. Irritation ripples them easily, They pound the ground, away. Dangerous when hostile; Willful beasts, prone to kicking and Snorting their temper all chunky veined. Mouthy and Hyper-responsive. Uncontrollable, unless broken. Easily damaged, they abhor force. Mild as doves, then bold they run To find remembered spacious fields Away from the herd. I am a horse. Leanne Margaret copyright  2015

Maroon Pride

Her armrest rumbled loose, His maroon pride: “This is how a real engine sounds.” Leather, dusty as an old man’s couch, My eyes tighten against wheezy vents. Second gear jabs my ears, Skull shuddering Throb of oxygen, Ribcage resists. Teeth set stiff as a Cheshire cat, Laughing at his trophy: “My brain hurts, Where’s the window button?” Air’s escape relieves some. When her muffler grates He ‘hi-fives’ his mates! Vintage Prestige Vehicles Are still old cars. Leanne Margaret © 2015

Fig

Crashing down from predators flight Inky tipped thorn on mountain bright Covetous of shield of knight To sever lashings grip of fright. The desert set the winter free From summer's fig, to 'Hecate tree' She dropped her leaves, revealed the bones Her howling, petrified summer's rose. Stripped, the branch revealed its source Trailing, rising, jutting, force Twisting, ever toward the light Even through soul's long dark night. Seasons flowed in streams of change De-slodging ancient mountain rains Pinecones calling thought to form Turning till the stories formed. Time's mirrored space collected Dreamtime forests there reflected Unknowable as spirit veiled Spirit eyes saw time spun tales. By such crossing roads were razed Times multi-headed serpent staged Mirrored there an older face Put to death and raised. So it turns in perfect form Summer's leaf will colour all Winter's dreams will-lit with bright Forging clear a sword of f

Winter

Frozen, timeless still World swirls distant Bones, resting, now Patience opens serenity Resist not, apathy Winter seeds rest. Rest Rest seeds winter Apathy, not resist Serenity opens patience Now resting bones Distant swirls world Still, timeless, frozen. Leanne Margaret copyright 2011

Creatorship

I Am you You are me Matrix weaves of we The mirror of world seen Projections eyes of sweet and mean Blinding knots unravel and release their steam Veils lift away between the worlds that be Fully revealed picture of our plans that held form Refining the edges, shaping empty spaces for a you-in-verse formed.

Lonely People

All the lonely people Where have they all gone? Spinning lights of World Wide Web Each can uTube their own songs. All the lonely people The freakish and the weird Judged lost, in wheels of human race They weave colours bright and new Weaving tomorrows world The meek are inheriting.

Unify

Shiver summer's sneeze Nature speaks plain Duality's denial fades Revolution's opposing storms Mood's violent, bright seasons Returning to still, duality fades Divided we were conquered whole We limped through the ages to now Whole we stand and walk with two feet Weaving will and vision Flowing streams tween Yin and Yang Integrating light-full strings Making bright the halves of things Competitions end All One Globe sprouts many feet Divided how could we ever roll?

Tower

Image
Shaking ground Changing towns I am southward bound. Pandora's hopes, found I reflect, astound. Seen within a circle, round Purpose spirals stars, unwound Re-weaving finer fortune's clouds To rain the past a shroud. Settling thunder, loud Articulated heart resounds. Leanne Margaret © 2014

Rose Hands

Unfold, soul's growth Refining colours, rose Hail, garden's nose. Though thorny and pricked Against honeyed bee tricks This makes roses grow most thick. Fruiting from black soils Blooming wormy spoils Refined anointing oils. Rosy lotus hues From mud's watery blues Risen being, lights imbued Bridging lunar sunshine's truth Startling, even as it soothes. Leanne Margaret © 2013

Winners and Losers

Image
Yin and yang dividing things, interweaved, divining strings  of thinking, senses, inked. Bit of black, bit of white dualities apparent fight freeing fortune's wings. Hemispheres, losers's tears post-traumatic fears shrieking, soured songs they sing. Child born and child made if born in love, then by fear stayed choked by karma's ring. Yet colours deep, exhale the weave day's contrast defines the eve sweet with honeyed stings. Tear not apart the silk to flags condemn with fire, waste to rags give each a patch, to thread, to link. Compete not there, for earthly spoils ravaged from her un-soothed soils weave Earth's quilt with all in mind and only all can win. Leanne Margaret © 2014
