The rancour

Now melting away

Mind knows night

Heart knows day

The soul in between to sway

Springtime steps astray

 

Summer bloom

Moves springtime too soon

Into past

None to last

Watching bearded chin to groom

Lost in the whiskers

 

Hidden fruit

Shielded from the eye

In darkness

Your lips curl

Fleshy taste of strawberry

I unearth slowly

North and South battle

Irreconcilable straits

Conflict in bosom

 

Flourishing in reed

Graceful attire of heart

Swaying to the rhythm

 

Solid ground denied

My soul like a wild gypsy

Yearning for travel

Look closely

There are worlds twirling

Within eyes

Behold sighs

Of the soul resurfacing

Heart to mind clinging

 

I own books

They speak of strange love

Of a dove

Turned eagle

Flying high above mountains

Freedom reacquired

 

Question me

My answers are ripe

With the juice

Of my fate

I have forgotten to hate

Love only wisdom

I fly high

Within bosom spread

My wings soar

Ever more

I am a kite in the sky

Through the clouds I fly

 

Nothing lasts

The hurt now swallowed

Deep within

We wallowed

Sunshine then struck off the pain

Shining through the rain

 

April’s crops

Showering raindrops

Summer’s hay

To follow

As we dance on the rooftops

Listening to May

My heart beats softly

Everlasting tunes in soul

Pouch of bundled joy

 

I whirl on the Earth

My mind lost in the blue skies

Sketches of castles

 

Infinite passion

Within finite appearance

I am all though none

Uprising

From a place of peace

The lambs stray

None to fleece

Tidings set to opposite

Where we and they sit

 

The mighty

Fearful of the weak

Imbalance

Will come forth

We hail them the future times

Hidden in my rhymes

 

Hark listen

The wolves are calling

I hear them

Prowling on

Within my head I respond

My kindred freedom

In air diluted

The wisps of springtime’s blossoms

Inconsistent ease

 

Small waterfalls pour

Inside my heart they gather

Derelict substance

 

They paired them by two

A single swan now gliding

Toward river bank

I cling on

Like a wild creature

To the ghosts

Of future

Passing lines of your features

Relayed in outposts

 

Hopes in air

Redesigned by wand

The despair

Searing through

My looking glass as I scan

The road unraveled

 

Walk in pace

With me as I face

The swirling

Fail never

To whisper soft the reasons

Of changing seasons

Smother not

The wilful intent

It breathes low

Remedies

For the dark venture to cease

The mind none to tease

 

Pursue Art

Within mighty heart

The power

To harness

Kingdoms beyond the darkness

Where brave stand duress

 

Look beyond

Written in the skies

The hearts paired

The souls spared

The breach a keen reminder

When the mind despaired

The Shaman Tales 8 : The connection to GAIA

The Shaman Tales 8 : The connection to GAIA

3 April 2020

The first time she had watched the magic spell mutate was when she had released a spell for rain and more than ten creative people read it. She had then compounded that spell and released it again to be read anew. The resulting spell was for a proliferation of butterflies that she had watched gracefully fill the space in her garden. It was a beautiful sight indeed to watch the tiger backs and other species frolic among the flowers. As a result there had been so many more flowers growing in the garden for the rest of the other springs.

 

She then thought about GAIA’s program for natural disasters that were supposed to occur on the Earth. It was difficult even when connected to GAIA to explain to her that she did not need to carry out her plan of natural disasters to reduce the number of human beings let alone when not connected to her. She seemed bent on her intent and saw the proliferation of human beings on her surface as a disease that required a remedy. According to GAIA, the remedy was to tackle this disease by reducing it in given areas.

 

She thought back to how human beings also thought they should preserve balance among wild animals in reserve parks by hunting down the ones that proliferated beyond the sustainable level for equilibrium. Surely she could see how GAIA, with the loss of connection to most human beings, perceived them as a threat to the balance upon her. If only human beings were more connected to GAIA she thought. Surely if human beings changed their parasitic way of behaving towards nature, GAIA could be persuaded to not initiate that series of disasters. It seemed, however, that the first of the series of disasters had already been set in motion…
