Eight years ago this month
In a galaxy far, far away
I lay in a pool of blood
listening intently to a songbird calling out my name
directing my senses to another realm

She was calling me away from where I lay
Sucking me away from a lucid pain
Transporting my soul
into her rainforest of lush green heaven
where spongy soft moss cushioned my filthy skin

I bathed in her euphoric surrounds
gazing through fluffy white mist
and found myself mesmerised
by magical beams of sunlight
shining through my body, filling me with love

Nearby, the trickle of a stream ran through my ears
cleansing my mind
With a purity so fine, it entered my blood stream
filtering poison until the residue dripped from my toes
seeping back into my safe green blanket of moss

Her green paradise
cloaked me passionately, lovingly
protecting my worth
injecting prisms of warmth and trust
saving my soul

With her thoughts through mine she said in time
whenever I see green my heart will survive
in the knowledge
that there will be no more pain
only love

My brave new world could not last too long
and my songbird bid me farewell
but not before
she filled me with a sense of knowing
and of an amazing strength that would last me a lifetime

As I opened my mind and returned to that room
his steely grey eyes
moved away from mine
Searing pain pierced through my spirit
and sheet lightning stabs cursed agonisingly inside

Under a hot shower, far from my rainforest stream
I curled into a foetal ball
Stained red water splashed the walls
and far off somewhere in my senses
I could hear the songbirds call….

    Tracey, I feel my own tears reading this… not only because I know what this is about,
    but also because I happen to know the songbird.
    I think you`re finally coming to realize the enormous capacity of that mossy green to absorb the poison.
    Amazing how you bare your heart and make us feel your pain as intensely as your relief.
    Beautifully written… but then, it is from your heart so how could it not be?
    xox

  • Tracey Mac replied

    I think you may have the ability to infiltrate my mind BB, in a way that is so different to anyone else….....
    And yes, you’re so right, the realisation of what that green can do to soak up the poison is a revelation in many ways…......
    Baring my heart was not real easy, but had to be done ‘cause now it’s out and it’s like this huge weight has shifted….....
    Thanks from my heart for such a special comment, and love how you happen to know the songbird…...that is way cool ;)

    beautiful words to go with the image
    i love the consistency of high standard work that you produce lovely tracey. ;-) xox

  • Judi Taylor

    Judi Taylor

    OMG … this is so powerful, Tracey. I have been to a grassy green meadow in a different world and received the healing that the songbird called you to. I understand this so clearly and it filled me with memory, sorrow and joy all at the same time. Whenever we need healing of any kind we can go back to the mossy green and be purified and healed … You are F…. REAKING amazing!

  • Tracey Mac replied

    You have an Emerald Green Land too Judi?
    That totally spins me out….....maybe it’s reserved for very special people and the lifetime pass is so wonderful, to be able to return there whenever we need that healing is totally amazing….......you’ve spun ME out knowing you’ve been there too, and it kinda makes me feel less like a freak knowing I’m not the only one to find that place…......
    Thanks from my heart Judi, seriously xoxox

    may your beautiful spirit always live in the green….. love and light…..b

  • Tracey Mac replied

    Thanks gorgeous Butch, I’ve often thought about painting Emerald Green murals on all the house walls, but then it wouldn’t be so special and I’d get too used to it, so for now, I’ll leave them white and take myself there instead, otherwise I’d miss out on the soul feeling of those visits….........thank you from my heart b xox
