Peace

An olive branch;
a white dove's 
view;
another chance
to renew

a fountain
of love..

above and beyond

all thoughts
of right or wrong

or belonging to.

Books of Short Poems

I published 2 Books of my Short Poems a while ago. Many of the poems appear on my website, but if like me you prefer to have a book of poems to hold; to randomly open and await a message from the Universe; you will find the links here.

Many thanks to all who visit. 💙💙

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

Winter Pledge

I will not
allow
this life
to freeze my heart;

I vow..

nor turn me 
inside out
and tear my soul 
apart
with doubt
and loss
of faith..

I embrace

all that flows
with kindness;
love

and grace.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Shadow

There is no
darkness;
only
a shadow..

just
the shrouded
reflection
of all 
that blocks
the power
of light

to reveal

to heal
to grow.

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

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

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

Real

Show me
something
real..

a kindness
an innocence
an essence
a hidden depth;
a forbidden
truth
revealed..

please..

show me
something
real.
