Inspired Flight

She smiles, touching her wings, glances down.
Such a large landscape surrounding her, nearly no time
to caress it all.
A soft satellite gaze from beyond the clouds,
centered on this heart that sends shocks to the ground.
A guitar chord strummed
not nearly hushed, so tight the pull,
the sound wakes the world.
World yawns, stretches,
searches for the strum until she catches their eyes, 
unsure, confrontational...
sorry to have disturbed, but this is her time.

Time.
Time.
Time to ( _____ )

Wake up. Hands aware, this vein holding blood.
A steady stream keeps her eyes focused to meet the new day,
a new cycle of breaths to curl her toes, hum in her ears
catch in wind blown blown,
in this time where there is light.
It dries her wings from the soaked tears
to hold, hold, hold it near -- dry wings allow her to fly.

Fly.

is it time.

is it allowed.

only once do i need to try
to know my answer
heaven or skies.

When everyone was quarantined, I felt like

  "When everyone was quarantined, I felt like..."           I was caged,  my cord cut,            the outside was in,       and I  wasn’t ready for that. I felt like I was out of time                 – no way to re-plan my life,  no way to be by anyone’s side. I like mapping the scene,     feel heat amongst a crowd,  and now, to stay away from them,  I have to hide. Close myself off  my nature,  to enjoy parties  dancing, all the things               feel more alive…  When that door shut, a hurricane hit. JMWC 9/22/20 from class, Panorama High School, 2020

my brain is completely flooded i've rode this train before to a journey laden in cumbersome foot-stomps catching my frolic to the ground, tumbling over some man's arms, thick-legged brawn there is a part of me that says, 'you're too old for this'... maybe to know better is to be declarative and surrender to the certainties in life. however certain and present, the tornado will  follow. it's better to live submissive instead of dismissive to the velocity of life held out in front of you... like the last banana in the fruit bowl, or that chocolate cake you just want to lick. bowl to casket. each motion a delight.

In Honor of Mother Earth

Happy Earth Month!  Right now, we see the blossoms opening, the vines ripening -- the sweet smell of Spring is here! Congratulations to everyone for making it out of the darkness, in this frigid air... the dew of the damp Earth has sprouted many blessings.  Rake up the gentle soil and bring her into your circle. Let the abundance flow into your circle; enjoy the fragrance of your harvest. I wanted to offer up this powerful song; Madre Tierra , by Maya Jupiter. Her message is steady and daring to be spoken into the ears of all who dwell on and know Mother Earth.  Speak righteously, and take care. ~ Jessica ~
