Wordsmithing - inspired by nature

Random pieces inspired mostly by nature and the fire within

Shells at the beach

They look whole at first sight

so perfect and right

Then you turn them about

and sand tumbles out

Just a fragment of shell

gone through all kinds of hell

Tumbled about in the ocean

thrown by the sea to the shore

Roughened and broken on rock and cliff

with wind and tide they sink into the sand

And yet in themselves

more unique and more whole

As stark edges are smoothed by sand and time

the surface is polished to a shine

The shell maybe broken

the inside lies bare

Fragments of a whole

but they miss not a thing

Beauty they show each way they are turned

there is a lesson to be learned

All things can break

and they may never be whole

But broken is neither wasted nor done

New forms are created from the old

With fragments and pieces that have stories to tell

They journeyed a path where they stumbled and fell

But by the end of the path they stand once more tall

Ready to answer the next ventures call

Beauty does not care for perfection

Beauty does not need to be a single piece

Waves

The waves are crashing against the shore

speaking of forgotten lore

The sun shines hot on stone and sand

merging in harmony with the land

The wind caresses leaves and tree

Reminding all of us that we are free

Sitting amongst them quiet and still

Let your soul dangle, relax and chill.

Firestorm

I am a firestorm
I sweep through the land
Burning all in my path to ash
Join your flame to mine
or be swept away in my wake

Flame of creation

I am the living flame of creation

My fire never burns out

Join and rise with me

as we awaken the world!

Eternal flame

Eternal is the flame of creation

burning bright in us ALL

Let it fill you and make you whole

embrace the fire and rise with it

Let yourself be lifted high

Spread your wings and fly

Take my hand

Take my hand

for good or bad

Leap of the cliff with no regrets

Find your spark

spread your wings

Fly

as your soul sores high

Take – Touch – Give

I will take your breath

with my lips

I will take your thoughts

with my touch

I will take your heart

with mine

Your elements I’ll be

I will be the earth

that holds you save

I will be the air

that lets you breath

I will be the fire

that warms your heart

I will be the water

that rests your mind

Like the earth I wrap you in my arms

giving you strength to draw from

Like the air I fill your lungs

letting you breath in life itself

Like fire I light the path

showing you the way in the dark

Like water I wash away your burdens

restoring to you peace of mind

Moon goddess

High above the clouds I float

The moon in its full radiance

shines its light on me through the window

The goddess is watching

Bight, eternal, steady

she is shining

her brilliant light on me

Ancient yet ever changing

she radiates her power

Oh beauty of night

I bask in your light

Clouds to City

I’ve flown so many times that the night sky beauty often passes me by

As we ride above the clouds

they roll underneath us like the ocean weaves

Like a ship we glide through this sea of darkness

The moon our only lantern

No star to be seen in the sky

Clouds and night sky melt seamlessly into each other

An vast ocean of quiet

The soft clouds just barely visible

as they unfold underneath us

The horizon just an endless stretch of night

Black midnight perfection

A velvet carpet of soft peaks

Then the cover breaks

Light comes through

Like gleaming veins running across the country

The pulse of humanity in stark brightness

as we decent towards the city

The wings stroke along the clouds a final time

Taking a deep breath as we break through

emerging from the all encompassing darkness

to the light and noise of the world
