Cat Lady Poet
What if her imagination
Runs wild and free
Running roughshod over the objections
Which cause her to worry on
How silly she might look
Or how foolish she might sound
And instead loosen her hair
And her inhibitions
For the moments that make her smile

Your love
Woven from a thousand threads of light
Weaving a beautiful new story
Intricate and delicate
And strong
Which only the heart can tell
The Angels remind us not to resist the quiet longing that calls us to come into the light — to be seen, to be heard, to be witnessed in all our glory. For it is our time to shine.
This pain,
It can’t envelope you,
It can’t become you
For you are more,
You are not it,
Your worthiness does not lie
In lack of comfort,
Suffering the cause of nothingness,
You are not punished
For past sins,
Your only sin lies
In the forgetting to let go

A thousand years from now
Can we even imagine
Humans will still exist,
Our reign on this earth
Still tearing from the lifeblood
Of our fellow man and beast,
All creatures crying for the day
When justice will end the tyranny?
Or will the sun set on sickness and lack,
As we rise with the full moon
Above the utopia of our dreams,
Straight out of the mind,
Through the sci-fi writer’s pen?
It’s hard to imagine the collective
Moving any way at all these days,
The seeming infinite reaping
Of mistakes gone past
Without regard for future’s coming,
The infinity of man
Only a keyhole guarantee
For the unlimited soul

Time’s up
It’s over
The opportunity
Is no more
For those who refuse to see
The light within their hearts,
To feel the goodness of their souls
And the souls of fellow men,
To experience the river running through,
Connecting each of us to one another,
Swift waters carving a clear channel
As they deftly move on through
No, the time is now
For those who look away
To miss out on their great gifts
And for those who participate
To seize the day
Not in victory,
But in love,
In the power that only connection
To Source energy can bring
Feel it now
Coursing through
Feel it now
Cleansing you
