Naked Heart

Let my clothing fall

And step into the oceans chill

Let my defences down

Welcome my racing heart

Give thanks that I am able, still

.

Ritual acts refine me

Habitual ones define me

Maybe I’ll let you see me

Beneath the skin that binds me

Under my ever-watchful real me

.

Be kind to others always

It’s a motto to live by

And it is easy enough to say

Harder though to play –

Life is, a double edged sword

.

Opening my heart to you

There is nothing harder to do

But your spirit welcomes mine

Allowing light to shine

On my mystical heart sublimed

Murmur #5

I wonder…

Will we see past the colour

Will we perceive the beauty

Held within these simple strokes

Or will our hearts refuse

To see the reality beneath

The murmur of life

That hums equally

Within all living things

Regardless of how we paint them

Me, for fun, you see
