Refraction Of Light

What enchants the eyes, a glistening sky?

What entrances the mind; a whisper from the wise?

What reflects the light; a heart that never dies.

Can you reach the vastness; would you leave all ideals behind?

The universe is so diverse,  we know this deep inside.

We are as infinite as we are inspired.

There is no velocity in  stagnant sight .

It’s simple subtraction, takes just a fraction;

Love is an action,  we are sublime.

Trust is the protractor, truth  is the journey,  the heart is the refraction of  light.

The Story Of The Ice, Fire And Winds

Ancient and sentimental secrets fell from the sky one day;
He was standing on the open plains,
The earth began to heave and sway.
With all his strength – his hands raised;
He sang to the Elders a Prayer of Spirit.
Across the great divide, the Winds came.
Howling, rushing, encasing and sovereign.
He knelt in the most powerful glory, waiting for the answer to be.
The Winds took the music of his voice to the clouds;
The Keepers mixed his wishes with water and fire.
Thunders echoed loud.
All the mountains came rolling down;
Then time froze…
Ice crackled and broke in the aether;
The winds carved a space in his wonder,
The fire pulled him under.
The ice broke his heart;
Trust reformed it again.
He was a new man.
He was created of the elements.
Now a watcher of the land,
He took her hand – and showed her the way…

I am very proud of her. She inspires me so deeply. She taught me how important it is we be still and create.
