No one wants the
half-eaten fruit
Placed back on
the shelf
To slowly wither
and rot
Scars across my
body
Like tattoos
telling
Stories of
trauma,
Grief
Yearning for
wild love
Connecting
Eyes lock into
eyes
Unspoken words
Touch speaking
passion
Reciprocating
desire
Melting into
lost moments
Wanting to stop
time
To stay forever
Wrapped in
sweaty arms,
Moist lips,
Tangled in
hearts beating in time
Untamed
Free
Wild love
Dancing with
abandonment
In
the darkest days
In
the darkest nights
The
spirit lives on
There
are many roads we may not walk
Questions
left whispered on sorry lips
Forever
unanswered
As
the sun sets
Birds
call their mournful cry
Wild
horses gallop
The
spirit defiantly lives on
Tears
will flow like muddy rivers
Hearts
will ache unbearable ache
Beneath
impenetrable grey skies
Sadness
burnt on ancient mountains
A
burning wound festers
In
the darkest days
Through
our darkest nights
The
spirit courageously lives on
Forever
scarred
The
spirit
The
wild storm
Balm
to our wounds
Drenching
thirsty land
Words
fail
Memories
swirl
Spirit
dances in the wild winds
In
the darkest days
Through
the longest, darkest nights
A
wild spirit gallops
With
the wild horses
Forever
roaming free
A
warm, wild wind blew around them not stirring the large gum trees buried in the
banks. It circled them, dancing at their feet, wrapping around them, pushing
them forward, pushing them to the edge of the strong boulders that firmly sat
beneath their tired feet. For a moment she wanted to retreat to the safety of
the kingdom below but she took a deep breath, smelling the familiar scents of
the bush, the smell of home. She felt the warmth of the hot harsh summer sun on
her olive skin and as the wind blew and sun beat down on them, the Queen
straightened her battered crown and her little Prince clung to his strong Mumma
as they jumped. They propelled off the ledge into the wide-open expanse,
feeling the spray from the powerful water rushing over the rocks beside them.
They moved through the thick air with grace, like they had butterfly wings;
inspiration and fear carrying them off the edge of the large rock face into the
life-giving water of the big magic.
My soul leaps
Bursts, bounds
Filled with words
Creativity
Soul seeks connection
How did they take you?
Drifting, floating
Swirling out of this world
Into the next
Hot wind sweeping
Towards my loves
Too far to touch
Run for safety
Leave books, possessions
Behind to burn
Keep my babies safe
Where do you reside?
Floating amid clouds
Transported to another
Place and time
How my heart has settled
Since that cold July day
Embraced my craziness
The fruits of my insanity
When will the stars, moon align
Be at peace
With my leaping soul
Chapter 3.
The clouds danced
To the music of the universe
A song of divine meaning and rhythm
Teaching with heart
Protecting, blanketing the sun
The sun shone brighter
No apologies
Digging the trench
To make the water flow
Sun fighting its way through
Clouds of rain
Its beauty
Painting a rainbow
Golden and true
Life giving warmth
Soothing silence
No apologies
Grace
Feminine power
The moon shining in the darkness
Of night
Soaking in the rays
Of light
Power
Force
Sacred wisdom
No apologies
The wild woman dances
Like the clouds
She shines like the sun and moon
In daylight and darkness
Wild woman
Powerful
Making no apologies
I love you
before we have even met
feel your spirit
sparkle in your eye
lifetimes of love
reunited
time to come home
my love
magical spirit
I love you
before our eyes have even met
for the first time
when you are in my arms
we will know
we are home
