Deeply Me

I'm dancing
with destiny..

grateful
empowered;
light
and free..

all that I am..

deeply
me.

Messages

Restless clouds
with destinations..

thunderous
in movement
and transformation..

messengers
with a message..

strangers
yet friends..

light returns
darkness ends.

Deeper

Deep
within
my being..

deeper
than any sorrow
or blind
non-seeing..

I find..

the resilience
of love..

the innocence
of love.

Affinity

Like 
breaking waves..

aching
for time's
release..

we reach for
affinity's
shore

restored 

by
peace.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Strength

We have the strength
to hold
our own

within the known
through
the unknown..

as we endure 
and grow
together;
alone..

we have the strength..

divine mystery
our soul's
defence.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

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.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

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 💙

Moving On

Places
and faces
have gone..

tears shed
have left no trace;

no sign..

time
bled
away..

it led us
onwards

moving on

Life’s Call

I'm done
fighting life

with double-edged
swords
and angry 
words..

resisting;
and persisting
in loops
and circles..

I let go of it all..

I surrender
until

I hear
life's call.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

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

Something Beautiful

A shaft of light;
the flash
of belief..

forgiving insight;
a falling
leaf..

benevolent toil;
the butterfly’s
wing..

a merciful smile;
all fragile
things.
