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

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

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.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Real

Show me
something
real..

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

please..

show me
something
real.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Centrifuge

I've tumbled through
my centrifuge
again..

you know the one
that separates
good from bad;
bad from good..

if only
I could remember

the code
to unload
the debris.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

It’s Alright

Stop
enjoying the pain..
feeding
this
shadow..

blocking
the light..

let your
ethereal beauty
shine..

it’s all fine

it’s alright..
it’s alright.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

Why

I don't know
why..
birds migrate 

and rivers run
dry..

why fate unfolds
like a story
told..

of rising high; 

falling low 
rising high.. 

I don't know why.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

Waiting

We weep alone
in silence
with the healing 

wounds
of existence

waiting..

for life's
symmetry
and innocence
to return..

to see the essence...
be the light.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Perfect Moment

A seed
awaits
the perfect
moment

to emerge..

anticipating
nothing

knowing nothing

not even
that it's waiting.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
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.
