Next steps forward…

Giving Thanks + Praises, Love and Faith.

Thank you Creator for this life.

✨🌟✨

These poems were birthed in the middle of Momma life, family life, and every day life. These words were not planned or pre~conceived or

contrived.

These poems would blast through me after deep prayer + meditation offering me no choice but to write them down. And one by one, they began to tell stories. Each poem a different teaching and lesson to be learned. This book was given life amidst endings and so this,

is my new beginning.

✨✨✨✨

you teach me

on this earth

with this sky


you teach me

to face the

East

when the sun

rises

and eagle 

is flying


you teach me

to pray

and sing

and drum

and dance

And Love.


you teach me

to turn

towards the

South

facing coyote

and the southern

hemisphere


then turn again

to the 

West

and face bear

the Sacred Black Hills

and the wild Western 

Coastlines


And one more

time

i turn towards

the North

Standing With Buffalo

and facing

All

Our 

Ancestors


And I Give Thanks, 

We Give Thanks.


Our Ancestors

are praying

for us, and with us


they are

singing for us,

and with us


they are

drumming and dancing

for us, and with us


And they are 

radiating Love 

with us, and through us


We Are Blessed

With

Each Breath


And with

Honor

Reverence

+ Respect


we heal

we grow

we love.


We 

Are 

The 

Seeds.

love

 


love

blooms

with

love.


love blooms

in

stillness


as

well

as


chaos


love

blooms

and

thrives

and

laughs

with the sun


love

blooms

and 

shines

and

sings

with the moon


love blooms

and

dances

infinitely

with the water


love 

blooms

love 

heals

and

love

grows 

with the soil


love lights 

the way.

rose

 



And it is

in the midst

of darkness

that the 

rose

blooms


surpassing all

obstacles.


the rose bud

grows + grows


thriving with

the sun


blessed with

the water


and

protected,

supported,

nurtured,

with the soil


loved 
loving infinitely


the
rose
petals

gently
and
slowly

open

releasing
and 
radiating

bliss
harmony
oneness
divine 
love

butterfly

 


love is like

a butterfly

flying 

with

its wings

open

to the 

sun

receiving

the blessings 

to bless


love blooms

within

my heart

like rivers

of gold


that flow

limitlessly


I rise 

beyond

my 

expectations


And expand

And transform

And flow


I radiate 

joy

as

I am 

love.

loves call

 



when love
is 
calling

listen 
carefully

and 
follow
the song

listen for 
loves call,

it exists
within 
the
quiet 
of
your 
heart beat
and
each breath

and remember
Loves
song
is
eternal

so if you 
get lost
or forget

simply
calm
and
quiet
slowing 
down

focusing 
on 
your
breath,

and listen
to
the
wind

your 
heart
will 
hear
the call

divine surrender

 


surrendering
to
the divinity
within

reveals
your
divine 
truth;

your 
hearts
center

and also
the 
vast 
unknown

called

infinite 
love
