She Speaks To Angels

She sips from chalice,
words to spill for Seasons
where love visits

and pain never prevails.

Humble of heart,
with offer of solace,

she reaches
into endless skies
of compassion’s caress

to heal an aching soul
with breath of poetry

beckoning a sigh
to show she was here
bringing light to the listless.

I met “Riverside Louis”
but, she showed me his halo.

for Carol (shewolfnative)
a wonderful poet and friend…
I first met her soul when she entered a contest with a poem called “Riverside Louis Never misses a Funeral”

It is not often that a poem touches one so deeply that almost 2 years later, you still remember it’s name…

? Thank you, Carol!

The Black Tangled Forest - by aslanlight

I am not aware why I came here
Or where I was before
If there was a before
I only know this dark forest
Dense thickness entwining limbs
There is a way through
Yet still I search

I am watched by a million eyes
Coldly unmoved at my unease
Mile after mile I tramp onward
Yet circling always around
I do not lack courage for the task
My need is for a strong guide
A light to remind me I am free

Through the dark a silvern tendril reaches
Seeking the life force within me
It is empathy and recognition
A being equal to myself
Someone I knew before time itself
A voice as pure as the first breeze
Calls out so I sing to her

We know the way, we always knew
As one we are the way, the truth and the life
Separate we falter, together we fly
We draw each other onward
A path unknown to one is known by the other
Until we rise above the trees
And infuse with the universe…

Song of Sweetness - by maa

She came to me
by Spirit’s guidance sent
a gift of grace
one of the gentle kind

Her presence
resonating in
my heart’s abode

with wakeful patience
healing
she bestowed

Her touch
is one
that knows
no selfish will

By Spirit’s vastness
is her soul inspired
allowing things
to be
as they should be

controlling fate
has never crossed her mind

For she is
Wisdom’s gift
enlightening
my flame

a healing balm
upon my bleeding heart

a song of sweetness
that my soul imbibes

with tenderness
and utter loving care

Oh Mother
Dear One
Kindness Incarnate

today
I sing your praise
with humble voice

Riverside Louis Has No Shadow At High Noon

Riverside Louis has no shadow at noon
to crawl before or after him like sundog
following the sun.

His tattered blue jeans, flutter where they’re torn
if breeze is right and light is good,
and he is out and about when we can see him.

Some days his face shines, so I can hardly bear to look
as he dances the centerline of the one paved road
that leads from North to South.  He has chosen
a rough path to wear his moccasins out on.

He is, still a mother’s bright and glowing child,
dancing in his leggings across this community
with his brother, shadow, who deserts him at mid-day.

His choice, as much as Sun’s, was made sacred Path
between a time for morning’s coffee,
lunchtime gnawing at his vested belly
and liquid dinner to hold him through the night
when nighttime stories are told.

A red-haired son whose real brilliance
is not for mortal eye, alone;  Louis’ wears a mask
to soften something that would shrivel
us at high noon because he is not always
standing out in glaring sight; a bridge,
a canopy of shade, keeps Summer Sun
and cruel stares from beating him down until
he would cry “Uncle”, then tell all his secrets
that would fill  harsh dawn to cutting dusk.

I can measure my day by that slipping twin brother of his.
He is as predictable as clockwork.
I see him, evenings, talking to someone I can not see.
I wonder if he speaks kindly of me to sister Moon?

Nature’s Neighbor – Dillpickle62

Wild pals speak,
Shewolfnative tells of messages
whistled, howled, flown earth-tone,
facial expressive questions
my own nuttiness.

From Island breeze,
one side tanned blue, reads
natures lake-shore neighbor
Shared paths walked,
with us all.

Forest floors, white capped oceans,
with words written
Soar Heavenward.

Upon buttered bee wings,
she teases our minds
Save our garden Eden
Flowers loom, moon chilled nights,
 
…and

With ending and beginning
we hope to meet one day,
on a warm summers eve lakeside
to share poetic voiced insight.
