Reflections of the soul are found in the beauties of the earth
What is found in nature mirrors every aspect of our selves
As each leaf, cloud and ray of sun glimmers with uniqueness;
so do we
The seasons present the senses with new indulgences
Snow, color, sun, water, fire, rain, grass, flowers, dirt, wood, darkness
How is that different than the varying seasons of our heart and soul?
Emotions are our internal seasons, shorter lived and more fleeting than those of the Earth
I find myself melancholy and am reminded of the rich colors of fall
My heart is without wind or rain, but vibrant with the reds, browns and gold
Experiences that have made me whole remembered fondly
Today I am a ladybug of spring
Exploration invites me to move through life full of awareness
As my mind grows restless I take flight to what experience awaits my presence
Once there, meandering with awareness resumes
My flower is just ahead
Beckoning me to touch it, smell it, feel it… it exists to meet my desires
Winter has come too soon
Shadows cast over my soul creating a darkness from which I cannot escape
Pain falls upon my heart, the heat of my skin melts each snowflake upon landing
Motionless
The flutter of ladybug wings fall dormant
When the sun shines upon the darkness masking my heart
Its flaws are visible.
Cracks, chipping bark; but promise of budding beauty
Picture the open heart when the sun shines upon it and sprouts blooms from its branches
The heart is full and giving
Laughter rolls in as the incoming tides of joy in my soul
The love I’m capable of spreads its rays out from my fingertips
I wish to warm others with my smile
Cover them in a blanket of hope when their day is a storm caught ship
I am love, I am hope, I am joy, I am free
