Insignificant We

it is the pale blue that seeps into my tears
watered down gold that alludes me
the…
golden promises where no promises are made
Where I turn from you and fly to the skies
my only
safe haven
where bubbles of air pass by me as I hold my breath
and teeter on the brink of the vastness
beyond our
proclamations
renumerate
It is my heart
that seems so insignificant now
Not enough to sustain the reality of the whole
It is my pairing with you HERE..
on these sands
Above water
under the skies
that seems so insignificant now
It is walking and feeling the chill of
the tides
the constant reminder of my feelings
the pressing my footprints in earth
that disappears as the moon pulls
the cycle that brings birth and death
and round back again.
flooding the thoughts
feelings of ‘all’
for naught
feelings that ‘this too shall pass’
insignificant
for this love to last
(but then I find as I fly to the skies.. Love can never be born nor can it die, This love that seems like love between the two.. is the more of the We never insignificant nor untrue)
We
Only
Seem
Insignificant
but lay down and let the water, the sky and the earth and the air.. churn in the body
feel the four corners of life meet inside.
How magical is this my darling!
Our Being and our Breath
Connectors
from here our earthly depth
To the outer reaches of all that sustains
It is knowing our love of each other
and life that remains
and reminds us that never oh never my dear
Will we be insignificant to each other
or to All that is HERE.
(You can always find me if you breathe).

    ShadowDancer

    lina, this is truly a remarkable journey you have scribbled here, the smallness of ourselves in the rotation of life, yet within each breath our core and existince is raging and alive and HERE, and it is truly what keeps us going on this blue marble of life… that ending was a double punch.. oh how i want to sweep these words off this page and roll in them…

  • linaji replied

    you see my lovely woman and friend.. it is your ever present joy and seeing within my heart that always thrills me when you are near. You remind me of a female Billyb.. who I think makes such time for each of us with his glorious comments.. or should I say.. Billy reminds me of you.. tee hee.. Gosh I feel so lucky today P.J. xooxoxox

    “(You can always find me if you breathe)”... this is extra ordinary Linaji. It is exactly what happened to me at (most likely, exactly) the time you wrote it…
    No kidding!!! This is a memorable event for me now for which I need to find an explanation.

  • linaji replied

    it is your extarordinary way V.. so that is cool!!! don’t find anything just let it be part of who you are becoming.. all is well.. I feel it myself todday.. for some reason I just got a part of my liberation I did not even know I was chained to.. It happens like that V.. you just never know much of anything.. except when stuff happens and it feels good.. just revel in it.. I get to go away this weekend. paid.. (well I gotta work.. but hey!) with my friend and it is such a surprise.. so who knows how magical this life can be..
    You should know.. your a man who balances on many worlds.. so there!!

    Very significant your piece, Lina and the wonderful image depicts every one of your words. Love is neither born nor dies, nor can love ever turn to hate. It is probably one of the most significant things in life, ‘cause true love is everything, beauty in all things and everything we do. :-))

    I do wrong,
    for giving measures of what I am….
    depending on the distances,
    my veiled eyes can perceive.
    I am wrong letting be lost the the abscence of limitations.
    Sizing our souls-beings as if I would need to hold them in a pore.
    But I do not mind doing wrong…
    for that is also a concept
    that Nature disregards.
    Insignificant is not..and it is…
    the roaring thunder…
    lost in the inside sun.
    Or the glistening of your Loves’ eyes,
    lost into the start…
    but whole and eternal,
    is the breathing,
    from where you can see me….
    here and now.
    Rosa (perfect rendering with the pic…..)

    Tthank you for the light you have inside….Lina you are my wonderful Poet!!!!!! True poets do not argue; they simply sing. And, as a note struck upon one of a chime of bells will set like note vibrating in the mourner’s heart. The mystery is never solved, but the silence is broken. First we listen to the poet, then we listen to the same song sung in our own hearts,-the same,for it is God who has sung to him and who sings to us. And when the bereaved has found God, he has found light in his darkness, peace in his tempest, a ray in his night.
