Eye of the Storm


Fast feelings
Rushed encounters
All so fast, swirling
Dancing around me
The news on the radio
Fires and broken hearts
The storms of daily life
I am hit by wave after wave
Swept off my feet by the
Strong winds of momentum
It all takes me away
Feeling unsupported
I close my eyes and pray
Diving in and joining my heart
I feel a sudden change in the air
A calm breeze, a slow wave
A vortex of peace calls for me
It pulls me to the center
Everything slows down
I am at the seat of the soul
I am the eye of the storm
Still, I watch it all
Swirling around me
It all comes, and goes
Comes, and goes


We are the eyes.

Open And Close

“Do not let anything that happens in life be important enough that you’re willing to close your heart over it.”
(Michael A. Singer)

 

That comment
Made you feel tight
You want to hide
You want to close
That lover
Left you for another
You want to cry
You want to close
Our beautiful world
Torn apart by greed and dogma
You want to shut down
You want to close
Your sensitive heart
Processing so much
You want to feel safe
You want to close
But a heart that stays closed
For a little too long
Will lose its voice
Will always feel like winter
Remember that your heart
Wants every taste of Life
The vibrancy of joy
And the sharpness of pain
So if you must close
Learn to open it up again
And together do the dance
Open and close
Open and close

 

Hello, heart.
Hi.

Opening That Door

“Tears are words that need to be written.”
(Paulo Coelho)

 


She heard a knock
At the door of her heart
Getting louder and louder
Until a pain emerged
Taking over her whole chest
‘Guilt, I know your call’
She says in a deep voice
‘I know why you are knocking’
She says with a heavy heart
She knew it right then
To allow the heaviness
To open up to pain
As it was calling her
Reminding her of kindness
Speaking to her about patience
She knows she can’t erase the past
But her heart always tells her
To just keep trying and by
Opening that door
She just got better

 

 

Sometimes we do things we regret.
It’s okay.

Letting It Fall

She is walking on water
Leaves falling on her hair
Great blessings, she says
Are coming my way
Sun rays touching her gently
She glows, and she knows
A swirl of light surrounds her
She is not afraid of her power
The past was her teacher
She now knows her strength
She is walking on water
Leaves falling on her hair
I am letting it fall, she says
Letting the old fall away
Her heart filled with sparkle
She feels, and she shows
A force moving her forward
Leaves touching her feet
She now glows anew

 

Let it fall, too.

A Good Heart

“A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.”
Robert Bulwer-Lytton

Sipping a delicious tea
But then turning on the TV
A moment of calm
Transformed into chaos
So many bad news
People hurting
A world lacking empathy
Spreading coldness
Everywhere you look
So easy it is, isn’t it
To feel disheartened
To throw in the towel
Giving up on love
But please don’t
I beg, I plead
There’s so much more
Than you can see
There is sweetness
Kindness and connection
You can dig deeper
And feel it for yourself
That a good heart
Is your superpower
Guiding you always
To remember your values
And honor your light
Whispering always
“Trust me”

 


Your heart has so, so much power.

A House Full Of Life

Being full of life… is the best.

A HOUSE FULL OF LIFE
COFFEE STAINS ON THE FLOOR
PET PEE PADS AND MORE
STICKY DOOR KNOBS
FOOD CRUMBS ON THE COUCH
DOLLS ON LITTLE CHAIRS
LAYING ALL AROUND
KETCHUP FINGERS ARE THE WORST
CHOCOLATE BREATH IS THE BEST
WE MAY COMPLAIN AND RUSH
BUT BETTER WE NEVER FELT
HEART FULL AND POCKET EMPTY
THE JOYS AND THE CRIES OF
A HOUSE FULL OF LIFE

 


Enjoy the messy days.

Hello, Belly

“I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.”
(Richard Branson)


Hello, Belly
There you are
I lost sight of you for a moment
Got caught up outside of myself
Trying to find what was right
Working on pleasing the world
Taking everything as my own
Hello, Belly
Here I am now
Giving you a listening ear
Trusting your guidance
Coming back home
Balancing myself
On my own center
Hello, Belly
Together we journey now
Mind, heart and gut
The triangle of power
My inner sanctuary
I trust

-M.

 


Love who you are, and stay high with life.

Chamomile Dreams

“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”
(Lady Bird Johnson)

 

I remember you, Chamomile
Delicate flower
In a dream
You came to me
With a message
Of vulnerability
I heard you, Chamomile
Whispering
Touching
Letting me know
I am okay
I am hope
I saw you, Chamomile
In front of me
Sweetest thing
Golden love
Intricate
And pure
I heart you, Chamomile
Bringing me
Bright rays of love
And messages
Of hope
And destiny
Thank you, Chamomile

 

And just because…

Love who you are, and stay high with life!
