my heart is free

by Shannondoah

My heart

is free

so

i Am free

my love

is limitless

so

i Am limitless

my heart

has always

been

with your heart

as yours

has 

always been with 

mine

wrapped in 

each others’ 

Purity,

Joy

continuously 

flows

shines a Light

in every

dark night

a moment

by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861-1907)

A Moment

The clouds had made a crimson crown

     Above the mountains high.

The stormy sun was going down

     In a stormy sky.

Why did you let your eyes so rest on me,

      And hold your breath between?

In all the ages this can never be

      As if it had not been.

loving you

by Shannondoah

loving you

i’ve experienced

the greatest joys

and

the deepest sorrows

i’ve swam to

the depths of

my soul

within my

heart’s ocean

i’ve leaped 

off the highest

cliffs of Faith

carrying Trust

in one hand and

Surrender in the

other

i’ve felt loved, felt lost

and then felt loved again

all in one

moment

amidst the 

greatest challenges

i am still Rising

i Rise with

a Full Heart

i Rise with 

Passion and

Honor

i Rise with

a clear, grounded

strength

and

i sing the Unity song

with Love, With Love,

with Love

timing

by Sarah Maguire (b.1957)

Perfect Timing

The night I fell in love with you I lost my watch:

stripping off at the sea’s edge, it fell into the dark

as I swam out into a night thick with stars,

with fisherman calling from one lit boat to another

of their catches and harbours, leaving for the dawn.

Imagine it now, plunged deep in cool sand, still hidden

years later, grains ticking over it one by one-

as your hands slide into me and I move to their pulse.
