Butterfly

Poetry: Butterfly

by Liam

When she looks at you

Listen up, for those

Deep eyes speak sweet

Words of silent selflessness

Each a butterfly

Alone,

Though the color, the movement takes

My gaze to intoxication

Not my thoughts

My emotional wings take flight feelings

Lift me peacefully on the intention of the moment

Eyes gaze, the look mesmerizing

While words with wings flutter

Across my imagination singing sweet hymns of praise and gratitude

Each of us born will crawl, struggle then fly

The butterfly 🦋

The Squirrel

Poetry: The Squirrel

by Liam

With the summer fled and autumn storm comes hope

This golden leaf no longer green but flies, spins dancing in the skies

Each trunk echos to a season past tall stretch, reach out grope

To us, we see the beauty cast and fall in love with autumn eyes

From Birch and Beech each every blade now free

The leaf of morning cool with moisture now touches me

The happy swallows cheep, it’s young now gone way south to sun

While bushy tailed the squirrel free

His quirky eyes to gather nuts in secret heaps for days to come

I turn to me and gaze with wondrous brow

A million miracles all around

I know not how

I know not why

I feel a tear

I laugh and cry.

The Shrike

Poetry: The Shrike

I search the glade for a sign

but they have strayed beyond its course

their rigid limbs stroke skies divine

and headlong mine touch earth by force

The husk and cone the needle, bark

no organs hold that wood impress

such dreams as animate the lark

reminding spring to confess.

Now winter widows all but weed

and starves the cries of fiscal shrike

boots trample fragile chestnut seed

and fronds succumb to frosts hard strike

Trees gaze toward the longed-for spring

transfixed their roots in earthly bliss

tho in life’s wood snared we sing

the fire of faith it’s the love we miss.

Drink Up

Poetry: Drink Up

by Liam

That cup of yesterday has been drunk

Everything including the dregs gone

Digested,excreted and wrought

Take the goblet of now

Both hands cherishing it’s beauty

To my lips taste the sweet wine of life

Each nuance, each sense drunk with joy

Dancing with the glory of today.

Mystery of Love

Poetry: Mystery of Love

by Liam

Experience love in such a way that it frees you from connection

Words leave me like the smoke from a flame

For as the fire purifies its existence

This energy, holding the fabric of reality together

Flows again to the ocean from whence it came

That else where, is where we also go

When we fly free within loves mystery.

Articulate

Poetry: Articulate

by Liam

You, shine too you know

Your light an effervescent expression

With which you greet the morning

With which you part from the setting sight

Of another day dancing

Your magnificence speaks, alights from the soul singing

As a quiet articulation leaves your face

In flight, this dove carries you to sleep

Knowing tomorrow’s light waits patiently beyond the night

In tune, with the Music of your heaven.

White

Poem: White !

Falling snow

from a fire the glow

Warm the tips of

my frozen touch

The wet driven sky

The leafless tree

The pale sun gone

The cry in me

The crackle and split

The words caught alight

This winter moment

This dark cold night

My thoughts in flight

Leap sparkling high

Tossed in silver to a velvet sky

Beyond the ice

Beyond the snow

Beyond golden glow

Beyond these complex thoughts

Dwell the you

Dwell the me

Dwell the much

Dwell the image

the crystal touch.

Oh!

Of a morning wake

A new born day

Flushed your cheek

You turn my way

Whisper warm smile

then say,

I love you.

Her

Poetry: Her

by Liam

You

Indeed you

Listen up

Not now in the noise

When all is quiet

All is still

A voice

A silent thought

Always speaks but alone if you listen

Will you hear

Not words no

You understand the message

For it’s become a part of who you are

Now open the windows

The heart calls for today

Let her now fly out

Into the wisdom of the moment.

The Source

Poetry: The Source

by Liam

Listen to the vastness each day for,

Within this expanse, your silence will be found

Embrace your quiet space with love

Receive the living spark of life

This is the source, is the beginning, of now

Let’s rejoice, for it’s another day of life

The Pattern

Poetry: The Pattern

by Liam

Let love live through you

The light of the sun and stars through me

Woven together this cosmic pattern will improve

Reveal we are but one universe

Give it silence to unfold

Give it love to enrapture

For in this euphoric dance, we reveal the truth as it unfolds

Our souls, a mist rising to the morn of a new day dawning

Joy that in life we may be

Who we are born to become.
