Stick 129 - Big Leaf Wonder

Big Leaf Wonder

Dew drops on my Lotus leaf
Promise diamonds on natures morning pillow
Meet me by the secret creek
Crunch with me the autumn fern debris

Raindrops on the river moss boulder
After the tears the rainbow crown
Meet me by the turn of time
Watch with me the hours tango on the minute rythm of our second stage

Stick 127 - Silver Needle Weaving

Red ochre on my Mat

Invite me onto your woven mat
share with me your stories
of the seasons of your path

Weave with me magic moments
where silver glimpses of miracles
dive in and out to thread what will certainly steer us ahead

Lay down your wooden weaving spindle
take my ageing hand
be with me and hold me while we rekindle every lost strand

Stick 126 - Moonlight Statue Stance

My stick lay in solitude at the base of a most beatiful statue of a female human form in a forrest at the base of Krummenau, just where the river cascades down a waterfall into the valley below....

I saw your female statue form
down by the river edge

I saw you were naked and alone
down by the river edge

I saw your head bent down as you hugged your drawn up knees
down by the river edge

I saw your female spine protrude on your rounded back
down by the river edge

I saw your female longing tears cascade over the waterfall
down by the river edge

I saw you appreciated my pledge of care
down by the river edge

I yearn to earn your love and respect
down by the river edge

Stick 125 - The Prayer

i bow my head...

dear god,
i raise my hands in prayer
your grace erased my every dispair

dear god,
you heard my silent plea
your infinite power created that which I needed to live free

dear god,
i bow in awe
as i honour the life path you knowingly let me explore

dear god,
i notice the little things
that you so wisely sprinkle along the way to inspire me and avoid delay

dear god,
I thank you for my beautiful sticks
for in the year of 2013, they have become my spiritual life friend bricks

the result of love at first sight

 

Srick 123 - The Sum of Us

we share because we care

life's sharing times is all about formulating special caring rhymes
in the gulleys where our rivers overflow
we find the sum of all our sticks
and the together times of the love that we so generously grow

where the waterfall unreservedly carry our together sticks
into the nooks and crannys of humble giving mix
we come to rest in the stick nest where we laugh, live, linger and love
as the together sticks link arms in the valley called life-lived-to-the-full
