As You Perceive

I am a flower that blooms

Perfume filtering the air

I am a veiled mystery

To hearts that don’t understand

And eyes that cannot yet see

I am a reflection

I am a teacher

I am a lesson

I am the yang and the yin

I am the quiet voice amidst the din

I am a stranger, and stranger yet

I am a beloved friend

A secret well kept

I am a seeker

And I have been sought

I have been crushed and ground

Tempered by fire

I have been dead

And I have been reborn

With passion and desire

I am fiery, yet cool

Strong, yet gentle

Creating from destruction

I am nurturing and can feel you

In the hidden depths of your soul

I am ancient and I am young

I am a germinating seed

I write and I am written

I belong to The Love Creed

But I remain, only as you perceive…

Redolent

Curtain of night pinned with stars

Crickets serenading a dancing breeze

Water wafting wilfully on slime-smoothed stones

Singing songs of appease

A lilting song picking pirouetting petals

From fragrant frangipani trees

Intoxicated spirit quietly redolent of the Highest Call

Enamoured soul on its knees!

A Scent On A Breeze

a scent on a breeze

a distant voice

a fated chance encounter

evoke memories my soul recalls

and yearns for me to remember

with gentle nudges unfolding in dreams

that long to wake me from slumber
