Tranquilizing Tea

Steam arises from the cup
and swirls in the morning chill
Beautiful red liquid entices
sweet aroma fills my nostrils
I immediately tranquilize,
feel my troubles melt away
as I hold my beloved cup
                                          ready for a new day.

Maternal Comfort


A cool autumn morning
I step outside
The bright sun is dawning
I shield my eyes 
I breathe in deeply 
Warmth moves to my lungs 
warming and expanding- 
making me feel young. 
At this moment I feel 
the presence of others 
I move forward and kneel 
hearing whispers of ancient mothers 
our ancestors:- 
You comfort me 
and now I see 
I won't be alone 
During delivery.....

Journey


What bliss this is-
such bliss
to quieten the mind,
leave the chaos behind....
sweet nothing-
love this nothingness.
Tingling skin-
go deep within.
Warmth is rising,
sensationalizing,
head vibrates,
hormones stimulate.
Journey goes on-
chanting deep and strong,
discovering me
I feel balanced and free
I now see how beautiful life can be
It begins from love for me
on this beautiful inner journey.

Flying Into the Sunset



The edges of my wings caress
the water and tiny droplets form
The setting sun punches through
my wings spurring me to fly on.
I give myself completely to
this freedom, keeping my wings strong
tumbling over and sweeping
down to the water then I rise 
down to the water then I rise

Nourish





As I walk, the sun kisses my face, the sand burns the souls of my feet
Yet gently surrenders as it moves beneath me. I breathe deeply in and out.
The cool breeze presses gently against my body as I walk on.
I feel my clothes mould against me, and my shoes are in hand.
I breathe in its salty fresh air deeply once more….
As I breathe out I sense I am home, like I have been here before.
I walk slowly toward the cool water, discarding my shoes.
I continue to walk, each step is emancipating, and my worries fade
I slip my dress over my head; my hair caresses my back as it falls.
Dress  discarded, I float towards the water following its calls
The waves flow smoothly onto the sand just before my toes.
Stepping forward my toes tingle with the cool water frothing
I step into the water, it moves around my ankles- inviting me deeper
Deeper, and deeper, I feel such divine surrender- surrounding, engrossing, enthralling…..
Oh my sweet water is so refreshing, replenishing and restoring.
A wave rises and falls onto my thigh- I gasp as it collides with my warm skin
Beckoning me to immerse myself, I dive under the next rolling wave
I begin my blissful floating in this cool, clear and cleansing water
Arms straight in front, I stretch, I feel the power of the wave wash over me
Tantalized, I arch my back and look up to the surface, and emerge
I feel the warmth of the sun on my face, I feel energy surge
I allow myself this pleasure, I desire it, yearn it over and over,
Again and again…. Until, finally I lay atop of rolling waves,

blissfully exhausted, ready to feel the sand beneath my feet once more.
