Night's Dark Caress

As I lay here waiting in the open, lying in earth mothers arms

I see it, feel it, smell it coming to engulf me in its dark mystery

I spread my arms, my legs to feel it completely through out me

Darkness, electric with sparks upon the deep black
I am not afraid of the deep dark, not me, not here, or anywhere

I am at peace here, tranquil in the warm, whispering, teasing breeze

Alert to all that can be fully sensed, felt, heard fully
Comforted, safe, yet feeling fully alive right to my soul

As in the arms of a long time lover, gently, passionately loving

And like a great lover that fully satisfies, I try to hold darkness

Fully knowing it must leave for my lover, Light

Dark’s mystery will return to me always, to caress, to hold, always

My Sanctuary, My Promise



© CreativeVibes

When I feel the need to replenish my soul,
I  go to my special place to renew
I go there to lay down upon the grass
I go there to admire the wondrous view

It is here I come to listen to the whispering pines,
to watch the flowing of the gentle brook,
a hawk swooping and circling in the sky,
the fish jumping, snakes playing tag while I look

It is here my friends the deer, bear, red fox, red squirrel come,
even the white coated skunk comes up to sniff at my shoe,
as I watch the chipmunks scavenge for food

It is here I come to get away from the chaos  
sorrows of my other world,
the one that  tries so hard with every breath
to box you in, confine you, own you,
bring you to your knees

It is here, in my retreat I can let my heart, my soul fly free
drowning in all the Creator has given, for you, and for me
It is here I renew my vows to all that surrounds me,
to fight, to protect, a Warrior I have become,
I work to make sure my vow is kept

For each day a little more forest is gone,
water tainted, one more animal becomes extinct,
the sky is full of noxious toxic stench,
haze to block out the stars, the moon, the sun,
houses encroaching on our animal families space,
makes me feel being human is a disgrace

(Poem) Our Spirits Together Forever

Our Spirits Together Forever

© 2007 CreativeVibes

Our spirits are forever blended
Together or apart
Feel me gently calling
Feel me within your heart

In the time we’ve been together
Our passions flame, has never dimmed
Has never been tamed
Still we fulfill our desires at times
Under a soft falling down rain

In loves passionate fulfillment
On eagles wings we soar high
Floating on passions currents
As eagles do, we release passions crys

Our spirits forever blended
Together or apart
Feel me gently calling
Feel me within your heart
