Kundalini yoga
I woke up with this poem almost fully 'written' for me this morning. This is about the journey of energy and makes me realise that sometimes poetry is meditation.
Kundalini calls
Coiled serpent awakes
Travels up spine
Til reaches 10th gate
Passing through rays
Of red at the root
Converts fear & rage
To courage & truth
And now that it's mastered
Danger & risk
It soaks up the warm...

Forest Bathing
Back against bark
Legs touching roots
Sat in near dark
Searching out truths
Outstretching arms
Reaching for branches
Ebb and flow hours
Turn into trances
Leaves fall in my hair
Like chances long missed
Splinters of wood
Scratch at my wrists
Bird song so sweet
Echoes my ears
Wisdom of tree
Far greater than fear

Solstice state of mind
Dissolved into the dark
Part of it all
At one
With winter
Everything has disappeared
Yet nothing
Is feared
For it's all the same
Not death
Nor riot
Just mind
At last
Quite
Now I let
The light
Back in

Writing Moment
Finger and thumb
Wrapped around
A pen
Wrote a few words
Full stopped.
Then started again

Ordinary Magic
The realisations that a bit of mindfully living in the moment can bring....
It's magical that we taste
There's magic in a touch
Magic surrounds all the things
Which we don't think of much
The splendour of our sunshine
Remarkable drops of rain
The miracle of each day
That we've awoke again
The greatness of those blades of grass
That grow beneath our feet
