All That’s Been

I'll meet you
somewhere
in between..

within the light
of all
that's been..

where unspoken 
words
cannot 
hide..

and love abides.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Free Souls

When two plus two
makes five
or one..

and free souls
become
undone..

will the desperation
for peace

blind you..

or the light
of truth
find 
you.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

All Those

The giver
of love:
the deliverer
from harm..

the warrior
forgiver;
tainted
saint..

the blindly
cruel:
the blinded
fool..

I've seen
and been

all those.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Drifting

Birdsong
and morning dew
may find me
here

tearful..

long gone
moments
will lose their pace
drifting
drifting
away..

without
a trace.

Scattered

All I thought
I knew
is nothing..

I've been
dismantled;
scattered

distilled
and refilled..

the shattered
pieces
settling
still.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

Clear View

On the edge..
wedged between
hope and fear..

with a clear
view

of
love..

will you
fly

and rise
above.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Release

Concealed
wounds
rise

to be healed..

within the pain;
through
the unease

accepting loss;
embracing
peace..

a time
of revelations
and release.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Certainty

All  the
self righteous
certainty

divides us..

violates
our innate
goodness..

separates
and enslaves
us..

can the oneness
within
save us.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Wounded Healer

It's only
in the giving
of a grateful
fractured heart..

that joy will come from living,
and sorrows can depart..

for you're 
a wounded healer
whose essence
will transcend..

restoring and renewing
before this journey's end.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Weightless

In this present
moment
I am

weightless.. 

free
from the burden
of anticipation 

unbound
from the chains
of regret.. 

I let
myself be.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

And Then

Pummelled
by our own
resistance 

the turbulence
of change
can leave us
bruised..

let go
let go
let go

let all things happen
and then..

gently flow.
