Waiting

Just because
we can’t be seen
doesn’t mean
we don’t exist

Souls of trees past
we wait for our return

We float above clouds
remembering
the moment
we were downed
before our time

When we weep
rains come
nurturing
our offspring
left behind

The Messengers

Every night
Divas
light spirits of
trees
flowers
algae
moss
dance in the night sky
delighting the stars

Their choreographed steps
graceful swirls
dips
gleeful pirouettes
send waves upon waves
of loving joyful energy
into the hearts
of sleeping earthlings

Rhythmically pulsing
one subliminal message
Dwell in harmony
dance lightly on your earth

Memories

I miss them so much
I love them so much
the furry and feathered babies who
have passed through my life

Some stayed for a season
some stayed for years
each one’s passing
left a hole in my heart

The squirrel family
who fearlessly leaped
branch to branch
sharing seeds and limb with
glorious migratory flying friends

The hedgehogs who burrowed
between tree roots
dining on newly planted bulbs

Mr. Racoon and sons who stole
away on moon soaked nights
snatching gourmet meals
from the neighbors’ trash

The foxes who ran
like the wind
The hippity hop hares who hid
until they passed

And, of course,
the dear does who joyfully
played and pranced
using shade as a canopy
for their antics
How proudly they
watched their young
lounging on sunlit green!

No matter how much time has past
the pain is still great
I remember the love in their eyes
the love they unconditionally gave
the joy of holding them

With each sweet memory
my heart cries
I die a little
wishing
I could hold them again

It takes all my strength
not to succumb to the loss
the pain of missing them
the pain of sadness

To weep and weep
until my holes are full
and my memory forgets
but I can’t
I love them too much

And I am so grateful
they were in my life [Read more…]

Allow

In a world beyond
our world
one dimension away
souls of trees
pulse light in unison
spreading love and joy
empowering earth beings
to shift
consciousness
raise vibrations

Allow yourself
to feel this light

Meditate daily

Imagine this glow
surrounding you

Let it envelope
your physical body
head to toes

Let your heart
pulse this light
inside to out

Feel your connection
to nature
to all creatures
large and small

Feel the global shift
to peace

Love all
Live your dreams

This is your birthright

Shelley Lowell
