PETALS AND PORTALS

How intriguing is this contrast. But is it contrast or merely two sides of the same phenomenon? If everything in our Universe is interrelated, perhaps it is the plus-charge and minus-charge of the same basic energy - why not? The infinitesimal and the infinite. . . . manifesting.

Anyway, I became intrigued with the playfulness and musicality of these words in tandem, so decided to just have fun with them. I have no better excuse for what follows. Purposefulness is highly overrated. Hope you enjoy it with a measure of abandon, as well. Seems a pleasant distraction for hot summery days. I'm indulging my imagination; you are invited to indulge yours, too!

Between my hands,

Tenderly,

In awe,

Sensing their inner seeds,

Caressing their outer skin,

Inhaling their heady perfume,

Transformed by their

Mystic power ~

Beautiful blossom

Radiate the light -

Your artistry

In misty white

Illuminates

The shadows

Of the Heart

For Special souls

To See

With only

Inner sight.

Loosen up

The muse -

Profuse!

My quill

Is in a race

To grace

These pages

With thoughts

And imagery

Which soar

The more,

And still

Must find them.

I can't refuse

A one,

Though it amuse

Or sadden -

It insists!

If and when,

Perchance,

To gladden

Heavy hearts,

Uplift mists

Of dismal,

Sagging spirit -

All alone

Till then.

Sometimes

We’re so engrossed with

Continuing tomorrow,

We fail to see today.

And tomorrow, when it portals in,

Is just another wasted day.

No way!

Soul mates,

Star gates,

Reborn, transformed

Dizzying, vitalizing,

Soothing, tranquilizing

Crazy-sober

Funny-sad

Passionate - mad -

On. . . to

Color, sound,

Sight and smell

And touch - oh-touch!

Touch the sound,

Touch the color,

Touch the light

Touch the odor!

Touch reality -

Touch the feel of love.

Open up the inner walls,

Crumble down defenses.

Let the feel of sunlight in,

The feel of it convinces.

Freedom feels like sunshine.

Sunshine feels like freedom.

Here inside.

Reincarnation ~

Crest my soul

Upon pinnacles

Of love and trust.

It is safe

To give and take

And to be filled,

To lap the shore

Then trickle back

To sea once more,

The vital nourishment

Dissolved within

The droplets

Of thyself.

Living fully

In the now,

No sacred cow

Pervades.

I'll not avow

What I can't know

Nor deny the truth I feel.

I hope and dream

Of portals -

But live in

What is real.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

The passageway

Into my heart

Is not a thoroughfare.

The combination opening it

Insures a one-way trip,

Not just my will,

But nature's

Own design.
