Every life is a lightning bolt: a bright white turquoise-like sapphire jewel of heavenly hue, sparking etheric forces and mid-flight stanzas in a flash of energy in synergy with harmony, a unique integral heartbeat, a blazing sonata of sound to frequency.
Yet some have been told to hold back the music; don’t let the wild vibes show, dim the explosive thunder clouds, avoid the beautiful collision of souls crashing in sentiments spoken.
But life’s too short to hesitate-lightning bolts are too powerful to heed tedious belief systems.. I learn as I feel more rainstorms beneath my skin; water feeding me emotional liberty, the wind in my hair- a deja vu dancing on changes of everything.
I learn as I see more: the Earth’s atmosphere scattering higher wavelength colours of red, orange, and yellow, to fire a sunset-rising to a beautiful burn of Tuscan halo.
Winter’s soft whisper in ivory ice, kissing promises to barren lands of a glorious spread in emerald sage and dark olive greens.
Oh autumn, blowing her honey breath of life to spring, performing a pirouette in a rose magenta ballet show of falling leaves, swirling and twirling, a masterpiece to new beginnings. Seasons, like reasons, change in majestic rhythm - and I shall brave the swing with them!
My heart, I’ve learned, is a hurricane of colour: a riot of scarlet rouge and blush tipped lipsticks.
My soul, a deep indigo starlit ocean ebbing beneath me and I drown in ecstasy of blues, tattoos..a passionate photography.
My mind is a meteor shower, drifting in an artic wave of gravity; a spectacular display of shooting stars hurdling through words- to find a meaning, to see an ending in splashes of colour in pink and brown electric dreaming...tall grass and deep seas - invigorating me, soothing me.
I don’t wish to tame my storm- it’s natural, like a shining moon reflecting the sun’s golden light - her gravitational pull of magnetic effect echoes inside of me.. a reminder to write poetry- on my own souls story.
I am a lightning bolt
A star filled sky
A spark
A force
An energy in synergy
Of colourful bloom
I love like canto
I dream in Dante’s inferno
Nature’s ability to heal is more powerful than anyone has allowed me to believe.
She whispers a truth through beauty and breeze-
standing clear of the ocean,
taking shelter under a tree..
collecting pebbles
a stones memory
Lost words on a blank canvas
A song in staccato
A poem in prose
The almost..
Paper and pen seize me, easily, in gratitude for her honesty.
And I am free
The shackles and chains
Now ebb and flow
I am enough
And I am free
