Nawen's Reveries



  • .
    **_Once, as my heart remembers.
    All the stars seemed like fallen embers.
    Once, when moonlight seemed forever.
    I was with you.

    Once, in the solace of the morning.
    Comforted by the air so belonging.
    Once, when that day was just dawning.
    I was with you.

    Once, as the night was leaving.
    Into us, our dreams were weaving.
    Once, all dreams were worth keeping.
    I was with you.

    _**Wisps of smoke crawl up into the sycamore.
    Ravens caw, beach shells breaking in the waves.
    Needles and pins in the cold, cold glow.
    Drifting along cliffs with the approaching snow.
    Oh how I hope it settles soon.

    Ghostly blue imagines twist away at the dawn.
    Twinkles of frost shimmer in the coming storm.
    Dancing flakes flash by like wraiths.
    I lay helpless, seeking the northern lights.
    Oh how I hope it settles soon.

    Words of peace that fill my mind and change my way of life.
    The peaceful meetings with my heart have made me more alive.

    My unions with the wise old gods on the hills where I dream.
    I ask more than first meanings, looking far past what they may seem.

    Soon I pray to be as they proclaim, in a new way of living.
    Take the things I need in life but remember the giving.

    I take in the wind soaring so free.
    I feel I am ready to spread my wings.
    Perhaps just now I am beginning to see.
    Beyond the reach of nightmares that wish to keep.

    I have had dreams more than enough for one.
    And I have love enough for thee.
    All the hopes to comfort me.
    So many new horizons I feel I must see.

    It will always be whom I am meant to be.
    Because I am going to find my own peace.
