Bird in Flight

Circling
around..

all the beginnings
and endings 
with tattered wings;
feeling lost
yet found..

surviving
and arriving

here
alone..

now a bird 
in flight
again..

going home.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Towards the Light

Let's turn
towards
the light;

can you feel 
its expansion
within..

as fear begins
to retreat;

defeated..

and faith
meets
love.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Let’s spread love; not fear 💙

The Masquerade

An overload
of thoughts
exploding..

our weary souls;
our cheerless
hearts..

the shifting sand
and sleight
of hand..

this masquerade
parade
of fear

I'll never
understand.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Fearless Truth

Let me be

where open 
faces
cross my path..

and fearless
truth
embraces
me

with freedom's
choice..

and love's
voice.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Standing Tall

Say what you feel;
be real
be a rebel..

don't sell
your soul..

stand tall

call out their names;
call out the game;
the illusion
of truth..

the delusion
of power.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

A Way Through

Oh spark
of love..

reignite
our stifled
and forgotten
light..

illuminate
a way 
through

these dark
uncharted
days..

back to 
you.

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

Clear View

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

with a clear
view

of
love..

will you
fly

and rise
above.

Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Undoing

The undoing..

the phoney
altruism;
the schisms..

the do’s - the don’ts;

the lying
by omission..

the blame - game
shaming
control..

the taming
of our
screaming
souls.
