Waiting for the moment
When you approach me again
You touched me like
I’ve never been touched
And I will never again
Be the same
A simple kiss
Set my heart a flight
And it caused me
Once again to dream
I want to tell you
All the joys I wish to bring
And all that you`ve given to me
But yet I wait
With baited breath
Until you approach me again
I have our life
Planned out before me
And you and I
Locked in an embrace
I tenderly kiss you face
And stroke you hair until you
Fall off the sleep
I’ll even sing you a soft lullaby
When you need to
Set your heart at ease
So again I wait
On a hope and a dream
And imagine how things
Will come to be
Drowning in a sea of
Anticipation
As I wait for you
To come to me
Things that make up I....
As I said, it seems I am on a quest, the quest to complete me. My attempt is to collect the degrees missing to complete my circle while on this journey. Although I will admit there are times when my days seem most dark, and light is a long gone friend. These times the way to travel is not always known. It’s during these times I call upon the strength of the Divine, and pray to her in hopes she will lens some to me. I walk daily with the Divine, marveling in her many treasures and the things she has put out before me. In quiet times she whispers to me and tells me things to make my soul move, dance, sing, rejoice. And though I remember not all; I know she has given me the tools and insight in which I must carry forth and share with others. Now I am in no way saying that my way is the only way in which we shall travel, but I know I am here to offer insight and guidance to those who seek it. So I welcome all who journey forth with me…Namaste (from my soul to yours) one luv and submerge. Things that cause my soul to move... Musically....music to me is a tool in which I use to calm the storms within. I can’t say I only listen to one type of music or artist because I listen without seeing and if the artist/music speaks to my soul then that too shall I listen to. Some of the artist I listen to are....
Maxwell*Common*Erykah Badu*Lauryn Hill*Mos Def*The Roots*Jill Scott*Dead Prez*Phatt Cat Playas*Rebekah*ambersunshower*Cree Summers*Lenny Kravtiz*MeShell Ndegeocello*Beth Hart*Sarah McLachlan*Jamirioqui*Bill Wilthers*Marvin Gaye*Stevie Wonder*Temptations*Eric Benet*Christion*4 real*Laurnea*Ben Harper* and the list continues....
I like to think of myself as an artist and like most artists I have various likes and talents. To which I can l never claim to be an expert on any of the things I do. I have developed an appreciation and liking of the written word, and I try to flex my mental on this from time to time. Visions clutter my mind and I find myself searching for a venue or outlet in which I can release these scenes, moments, thoughts . I have filled countless sketchbooks in search of the perfect drawing, the perfect rendering of the things that fill my mind. And thus the quest continues and countless other books I too shall fill.
A ban of butterflies with an anhk in their center decorates my wrist. Underneath I have placed the words I.S.O.M.O.D. which simply means In Search Of My Own Destiny to which I am doing. And while on this “search” I have become like one of those butterflies. I have been transformed from the caterpillar after being safely wrapped in my cocoon into a butterfly. Now as I emerge and spread my wings, however delicate they may be, I have grown and now attempt to fly free. I understand in order to be truly free I must learn the keys to life [anhk representation]. And when all in finally in alliance I then will have completed my cycle of being, my circle. And to insure that there is always light while I steady myself and strengthen my wings for my journey. I have commissioned the sun and placed it upon my calf. Thus I have the assurance that my days shall never truly be darkened again. Although in truth I have trouble remembering this, that is why I am now in search of the courage to believe what is in front of me and the trust to believe that it will remain…So again I invite you to... journey with me.
Om Nama Shiva (surrender to the Shiva [Divine/God] within)
