Water Bearer

Water bearer, bring your cup
Tame the blaze that near corrupt
Air to lungs to rouse from rut
Legs of trunks to lift me up
Isn't that I'm not enough
Sentences can ends in 'but'
When this writer needs a nudge
Enters as an angel does
On my path and back above
Blessed am I to have your love

Glimmer

On the other side of trigger 
You will do well to remember 
Something simple so you center
Playful, pretty, joyful, gentle
Such as shells that spell surrender
Set one your ear to enter
To your heart, your holy mentor
Light in flight, ingnite adventure
What in life excites - a glimmer

Left a Libra

Left a Libra
Death in zebra
Stripes to wipe this from my soul
Split in pieces 
Kept it secret
Now I fight to make this known
Took my children
Had me prisoned
Turned my gifts against; Controlled 
I'll release this
Be forgiveness
Fear, it's clear - is to let go

The Speaking Sky

The speaking sky, in streaking sighs
Of hues that hum and harmonize
Its sleeping spies - our stars disguised
Adrift, still with, as dreamtime dies
Her asking eyes, wide open, wise
All knowing, probing - analyze
With birds that fly, so act as scribes
The words to serve and showcase by
Come clouds who cry, each weeping, "why?"
These wisps of lips must kiss goodbye
For sun makes might - does give us life
Each beam his means of screaming light

To Swim

This contract? It ends
I don't wait for men
It's now, that was then
I woke up, I win
I've learned how to swim
Amen

Significant Other

God is my partner, so please understand -
I'll never be tethered to woman or man
I won't play a part and I don't meet demands
Unless they're my own and on ground that I stand
I keep neither cuffs nor a ring on my hand
I do all I want and whatever I can
Alone is illusion - I know who I am:
Supported and courted according to plan

Sediment

Like sediment sinks
Slow down and rethink
Don't settle, but sleep
Awaken in peace
A wind will upheave
Expand and release
As ripples, you reach
Wash, rinse, and repeat
