Earthly roads of life


The long and dark trail stretches before me
I think of what has been my plea
rewinding it into memories of positivity
walking forward in freedome of what that might be

The fields of summer grasses makes me feel
the stream of pure mountain waters is real
the colors of the rainbow they heal

Once again I turn my attention to the life
that is when the beauty hits us
and the feeling of mystery grabs us
in the claws of the earths beautiful soul

It seems to lead to the sun
resting now in the beautiful horizon
the clouds and sky they are one
purple, pink, shades of blue has become

Orange and crimson these colors are blending
blending with the earthened tones of land, never ending
as it reaches to the light of creation, depending
on what the earth says to me, what is it sending

I relax and know that my path is infront me
the purpose is remembering of what might be
There is a breeze that comes from behind me
as if to push me forward to be free
I sense the presence of one I cannot see

My steps though tentative, begin again
the earth guides me as my beloved friend
the wind embraces me away from pain
the waters nourish me inside my vein
and the fires warms me to still contain

These things I will remember
and know I will never be
as I have never been, alone
in the insight I see the view
my journey begins anew

in the claws of the earths beautiful soul"
