BREATHE Breathe me in Whispers every shade Of verdant green. Waxy enticement Croons gently, Wishing me to stop Inhale deep Look And see And feel. Mesmerised I am coaxed. Boughs Leaf-laden Heavy Overhang. Murmuring In mellowed hush Secrets So serene. They lure me Footsteps to feel, Long trodden Steeped In history. Follow, follow, follow Their forgotten Lead Wafts their message On sublime breeze. |

All around me Latent Spirit energy Rises to enfold: Causes mind’s eye To recall toil Of forebears unknown Whose distant lips Lingeringly Kiss my soul. Invites longing, Craves memory. Steers And guides Unseeing feet To a place Unique Divine Transcendent. It touches me. Awe enwraps In ethereal caress. Unleashes feelings indefinable Brings liberty. I respond to calls I do not know. Heed. Let go. Allow myself To look And see And feel. And then Inhale To breathe. ©PAM WILLIAMS JUNE 2016 |

Finding You The journey to finding you is one that you must do Finding your core The raw you The part of you that knows the secret of living life happy The seed of greatness That's been waiting to bloom and shine brightly like the stars in the night sky So why do you run from you When you're faced with your own truth Thinking you can hide and lie But you can't fool you Cause you know you Everywhere you go you are there Even in the shadows of the darkness you will still see you, feel you and be you So why not live your truth and discover the real you Look past the mirror to find the soul of you & say I love you Cause the journey to finding you is for all seasons Not just for when the sky is blue ©Lady Esi FEBRUARY 2020 |
