‘AIM HIGH’ ~  psychic tip of the day

The rose in my chest
uncurled the petals
in harmony I drink
the dawn.

The fervor of first birds
so cheerful my world
the little fists knock
in the bow.

The wind whisper ‘whish-sh-sh’
the gossip of owls
crossroads crossing
at night.

Suicidal clouds
recall hidden thorns
that pocking a void
in the sky.

It’s later the crocus
will shine out of mud
emitting gladness
and love.

Holistic and white
the healing begins
the letters sent 
from above...

  18. wow, wow I love the way you worked this whirl!!!

    I hope you will participate in the Gratitude Quilt this year. It is simple to join in and will make your heart happy when you see the love unfurl on Nov 27th. (no sewing involved) Just close your eyes. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Ask yourself "what am I grateful for in THIS moment?" listen to your heart and type out the words that flow from your heart and send them to me. There is a link to my email address and a link explaining this project if you don't know about it yet can be found at the top of my blog. If I've already asked you I apologize for being annoying :-)
