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

Clear View

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

with a clear
view

of
love..

will you
fly

and rise
above.

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

Whisper

We're tethered
together
here
yet alone, set apart..

I can hear
each heart

whisper..

I'm reaching out
reaching out

touch my soul.

Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

A Pebble

So here I am..

my ragged
edges
made smooth; softened
by life's jagged touch

like a pebble plunged
through the rocky flow..

knowing nothing
for sure

though the water
is pure.

Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Overflowing

Someday
soon
all hearts
will beat
in time..

our energy
combined
will overflow..

overthrow

all
that carves
our human
sorrows..

reclaim
our children’s
lost tomorrows.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

One

Will truth and love
call us
onwards..

towards
a higher
bliss..

becoming
one

with all
that
is..

this beautiful
abyss.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

Dust

In the end
none of this
will matter..

the doing
the undoing..

the scattered
energy
of our being..

just
a spec
of dust

in the cosmos.
