A New Day
MAY EVERYDAY BE A NEW DAY TO LOVE!
May today be a day his smile lights the way.
May today be a day he sees his puppy to play.
May today be a day he can get up and walk.
May today be a day we have another chance to talk.
May today be a day his hope continues to grow.
May today be a day of healing to know.
May today be filled with love and joy.
May today be a day he sees his wife’s face.
May today be a day he can rest in her embrace.
May today he receive my very best.
May today have no stress.
May today be still and his presence be at peace.
May today be a day his cancer will release.
May each day remind us that this very moment matters.
I am grateful I have been gifted a son that has truly been a light , love and life changer for me. He has taught me to be more compassionate, to love without a word because its action that counts. He has taught me strength is our individual perception and that presence is purposeful. He has taught me loving is often quiet and it hears more. He has shown me that being a mom does not mean your boss, it means you have a chance to grow if you choose to. He has shown me pain beyond what I thought I could comprehend and bare and for that hes paved the way for massive change.
The Expedition
The expedition of life is the exploration of thought and emotion joined together by a willingness to see and feel more.
Kerri Elizabeth
The expedition of the rivers rapids rumble the earth.
The sun captivates nature’s worth.
The trees without a sound produce oxygen all around.
No display of limits in the wilderness are found.
Every thought has an opportunity to be filled through love.
The beauty of life is found where you decide what you’re made of.
Allow any thought unkind to dissolve in the winds of gratitude.
Love is in every latitude.
Let the exploration of emotions find peace as it goes.
Allowing growth and change through the ebbs and flows.
The answer to it all is where you stand and fall.
Sunshine through it all.
There You Are
Get lost in nature and you’ll find yourself.
Grace
Were seen in the heat of the fire where intensity is felt.
In the adventure of the breeze flowing with ease.
In the spontaneity of where the pinecone re-seeds.
In the courage of the wilderness free to be.
In the river bends as the earth shifts direction again.
In the burned mountain tops carrying scars within.
Were seen in the forest floor growing where seeds have blown.
In the rivers flowing with their own tone.
In the tree stump where roots remain carrying past pain.
In the boulders that are earthly bound.
In the stars lighting up the heavens to the ground.
In the blue skies that reflect into the depth of our eyes.
Were seen in the birds singing lullabies.
In the ant climbing up a tree vertically to be free.
In the leaves that hold seasons of change.
In the sunshine that heals an emotional exchange.
Were seen in the diversity of the trees.
In the life adventuring the streams and the seas.
In the fierceness of nature’s storm.
In in the determination of the bear’s strength and form.
In the loving eyes of a deer’s stare.
In in the earth’s core where passion is bared.
In the flower that opens to the whisper of the morning light.
Were in the silence and solitude of the day and night.
Courage Replaced Fear
Do not fear to pioneer, to venture down new paths to endeavor.
Ralph J Bunche
I asked him,”can you take me to the highest place?”
“What then,” his response, with a puzzled look on his face?”
“I will know when I get there,” I replied.
The feeling to go I couldn’t hide.
When we arrived at the mountain top.
I felt pulled to be on the ground and look up without a sound.
Suctioned to the earth, I was covered by the heavens all around.
I sat up and looked in front of me and knew.
The mountain was holding a special view.
To some it may sound silly to hear, to me it was audibly and visually clear.
The mountains and the heavens are your gear.
Slide into the lake and conquer another fear.
I asked again,”can you take me to the lake to swim in the darkness of the night?”
With an expectant look he replied, “Yes, let’s do your bucket list right.”
The waters would signify all the tears through the years.
The moonlight would shine as nature pulls me near.
Grounded in earth, heaven and grace.
The moment delivered another embrace.
Swimming in the deep dark waters of the night was set.
My mountain man driving a boat to protect.
Each breath signified doing something new.
Accepting the challenge to be scared and move through.
To create love where misunderstandings appear.
To be strong where weakness fed on a reflection in the mirror.
To be aware where denial steals time.
To stand off the defensive line.
To strip it all down to the ground.
Letting go where you once were bound.
Wake Up To The Challenge
The pain remains until you find a way to challenge it and grow beyond that plain.
Kerri Elizabeth
Waking up
Shall I wake?
In a dream so clear.
I heard the silent voice of fear.
Will I wake to see more clear?
Will the pain inside disappear?
Surrendering to the voice of my soul.
Awaken to the vibrant energy you hold.
Breathe out the fear and in the beauty that surrounds your tears.
Grasp the flowing of every healing molecule near.
Similar to the flowing synchronicity of waves to the shore.
Love tumbles and tosses smoothing the jagged thoughts to more.
In the center of the sunrise and sunset ,no hindrance, affectation or fear exist.
Pretentious existence is void.
Authenticity knows not to resist nature’s healing kiss.
LEAP INTO NEW DEPTHS
Through the depth of every pain there are lessons that will remain and courage to retain.
Kerri Elizabeth
Leaping into the anticipation that awakens the deepest inner desires.
The jolt of a crisp mountain lake surrounds and protects the inner fire.
Rounded rocks that seem to have found their home meet my feet as I jump in and touch the ground.
Beauty all around shakes my senses and I’m found.
Water encompasses my path and pulls me into the depths to swim at last.
After a brisk distance is in the past a cord from the sky turns me over to dance.
Effort is removed and synchronicity is heard.
Weightlessness and floating moving without a word.
Every muscle has given in to trust the lake’s gentleness again.
Safety and security have eyes on me assuring me I can let go.
He maneuvers the boat to my side protecting me.
Beauty and intrigue of deep waters cradle me.
Invisible strength moves the vibrations of an outdoor concert across the lake around me.
Human energy fills in space.
Spiritual energy flows with healing grace
Wild Hearts
My life work is an attempt to ground the pure, visionary spirit in the imperfect, intoxicating sensuousness of worldly life. -Thomas Moore-
Wild heart you’re never far away.
You’re in the rumble of the sky and the lightening up high.
Oh wild heart you’re never left behind.
Your essence for life clears my mind.
Your beauty brings a dance to the silence of the nights.
Your truth erases battles of an inner fight.
While the language of the wilderness echoes from my soul.
The rain and the thunder orchestrate love to flow.
Wild heart you’re my soul, the lover of my spirit you guide me without control.
Spirit gift, the lover of my soul, thank you for the the inspiration of letting go.
I’m in the whisper through the trees limbs and the breeze guiding every leaf to bend.
I’m in the petals of the daisies surrounding the center you see as sunshine again.
I’m in the color of the rocks lining the shore.
I’m you touched by the presence and the depth to learn more.
I am free to be me and be and love for eternity.
Soul Pulls
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
My Soul’s vibration pulls me near.
Whispering softly trust me I’m here.
Ignite yourself in life my dear.
Take the shackles off your feet and dance.
I am here.
I am your soul.
I am watching you grow.
Listen to what you hear.
Wear your wild heart without fear.
Run and walk, be still in thought.
Clear the traps and release the gaps.
They are not meant to last.
Allow your energy to divinely open up.
Open the doors you have quietly shut.
You are not another’s thought.
You are brought to create and love in this spot.
Surrender to your destiny of the unconditional you.
Walk past the shadow that darkens what’s true.
Take your hat off and reach inside.
Your true identity is nothing to hide.
Be YOU and live true.
What others think of you is nothing to prove.
It has already been proven we all are who we choose.
Sunshine from my heart to you and me too.
Love is YOU.
Existence
Be the reflection you want to see!
Kerri Elizabeth
Every move rippling into slow graceful motions.
Energy is like calligraphy written into emotions.
Time is non existent bouncing off anxious existence.
Each heartbeat seems to travel with a delayed remembrance of purpose.
Followed by the rushing of oxygen to the surface.
Breathing continues to give life and each moment is still new.
Eyes open up to the sky radiantly blue.
Life and laughter are lovers undone.
Inner freedom shines like the rays showering down from the sun.
Capturing life in snapshots with every blink of the eye.
Stillness reaches in and grants the depth inside.
Soul conversation releases peace in this place.
Gently guiding your hand to dance with the life you’re given to embrace.
SONSHINE FOR YOU
