Design Your Space
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
Design your space
Upon the earth
Frolicking peace and harmony
Looks for you
Turmoil dissipates
Stress is released
Sky and earth connect
While simultaneously floating
There is no room for the unnecessary
Earth, water and sky encompass all
Imagination becomes reality
Weight becomes weightless
Worry scurries without a word
A slight breeze drops leaves to a rhythm
Sensitivity is welcome not afraid
The breeze speaks
Notice, I’m here
As fast as the breeze goes over you
That too will remind you all else comes and goes
Free yourself from the judgement of time
Be fully present in its place
Your Space by design
Sunshine
Separately Found While Always Connected
and emotion.
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
Present in the connection
River roaring to its chosen audience
Birds performing a soul moving orchestra
Trees adding their own rhythm practiced daily with precision
While the breeze so eloquently smooths every tune into an inner song
All echoing from the majestic mountains offering a priceless concert
An invitation is not needed
A willingness to enter is
Intense scents of pine inspire your deepest senses
Sweetly journeying through every fiber of pain transforming it into gratitude
Resting freely a top one of nature’s boulder strengths
Love and connection are found
Separate and clearly joined
Birds sing to one another as if love is all that really exists
Is it…..
The sound of the river takes no space, instead joyfully takes ownership of its existence to nurture presence
It carries wounds down that never return
It erases hardship without asking
The aroma of the river and pine create a tea for you and nature to thrive upon
Each needle left upon the ground leaving a legacy of its time here
Burn marks upon the trees carry a wisdom into healing and regeneration
Sunshine
Shine
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
In the heat of the day
The sun pours out its radiance
Reminding me we don’t need anything to shine
Sun rays carry the breeze effortlessly
Filling my lungs to capacity
Healing me from the inside out
Creating space to shine
Nature is where harmony lives
Peace is what nature gives
Sunshine
Where Does it Start
“Where moments of awareness exist curiosity teaches.”
Kerri~Elizabeth
I
Is the depth of a reflection upon water infinite
Where does it start
Where does it extend
Upon a breeze an unsteadiness gives a blur
Calm pristine duplication in the reflection recovers
Steadiness reserves itself
Offering peace to a storm
Sunshine arrives with rain upon its rays
An open sky seems to smile upon the waters
Leaving curiosity to dance upon the moment
Where does it start
Where does it extend
Where pristine is duplicated in a reflection
Love is moved within the awareness
Where does it start
Where does it extend
Rain dances with the sun
Beauty of a moment arrives
Awareness in every breath takes place
Love is in the rays
Love is in the ripples of the water upon a whisper of wind
Love is in the rain asking for the hand of every sunshine rays
Love is
Where it starts
Where it extends
Within
SUNSHINE
Pivotal Moments
Embracing the moments of change teach wisdom in place of resistance and fear.
~Kerri-Eizabeth~
Moments that seem to stop time
Moments where everything aligns
Gentleness and compassion intertwined
Letting go and holding on don’t exist
Presence is perfect
Where streams and rivers run free
Crossing paths with eternity
Then like a tree that falls across the river flow
Forcing a new direction
Beauty of change erupt the soul
Flow is held for a moment
Time is stopped
Panic and anxiety whisper nonsense to fear
Then so clear compassion gently taps
Im here
SUNSHINE
OH MOMMA
Oh Momma, you are now free to fly and love at depths that cause no pain, see at lengths you never could and to feel grace under your beautiful new wings.
~Kerri-Elizabeth~
Oh momma
Greif holds no power to what I feel since you left this earth
Grief holds no candle to the feeling since my son went first
You know so well the feeling I could never escape
It seems you may have had that too
The tragedy of loss to so many I have loved so deeply
The closeness of my grandmother, the father that raised me
All gone too soon in tragic endings
Oh Mom I can never erase the years we didn’t talk
The pain you felt when you walked
I can never erase the heart breaks and the misunderstandings it took us so long to shake
I can’t erase the days you wanted to talk about life and never could
I can’t erase the differences that could easily hold “we should”
You losing your mom so early and me never knowing the pain that shook your world too early
As if it was a secret never to be revealed
A past never healed
A memory never shared
Or maybe a pain that never found its way into expressions or words
Or maybe your expressions where the pain
Maybe our differences where the words
Oh mom I feel like I will never know the depth of pain you really felt
But I can tell you I truly feel them all right now with no answer to my calls
Oh, am I calling the wrong line
Have I forgotten it is our hearts that will always be aligned
So many lessons are only learned when the line we always knew is no longer heard
I love you forever MOMMA, thank you for the many many many lessons I learned and all the health you instilled into me, for the nature calls, for the sunshine chasing, for the river dips and lake swims, for growing up where I thought I didn’t want to and now live to get back to it as often as possible.
Thank you Momma for all the research and all the times you followed my adventures on Onstar and told me where every waterfall and river was, where to go off grid but always only where you could still know I lived.
Thank you Mom for the times you could never share your truth with me, because now I search for you and look forward to you showing me in a way you felt you never could.
Thank you Mom for all I have learned and please help me in forgiving so much along my path so I can truly thrive and live.
Help me everyday to be a better mom and Nina(grandma) and teach me along the way!
Love, your only daughter, willing to jump into glaciers, run wild and naked in the woods, to love the deer and kiss the fish, love the daughter you taught to run barefoot in all climates and listen to music not TV, love your only daughter who loved every animal as my sibling, love me mom in all my faults, feisty stance and stubbornness you taught me so well, love me mom and my ways that are much like yours, just searching and looking for the deepest peace!!!!!
Love to my most precious follower, MY MOM
SONSHINE FOR YOU
