The Lemurian Hermitage
A hermit is a person who lives apart from society. Traditionally, this has meant living alone and self-sufficiently, but not always. This House of Solitude is occupied by a Hermit who came from the Lemurian Abbey to connect back to nature and enjoy the serenity and tranquility. She welcome guests.

The Temple
Some of you may remember when I first posted this poem … it was in March of this year. Now that on Monday I am facing the possibility of another medical crisis, I post it again while asking myself where I went wrong. I’m a non-smoker. I drink a little wine once or twice a month and an occasional beer. So what the heck … anyway, here are my thoughts in verse.
The Temple
The temple, from the outside,
looks good—
well preserved,
considering its age
and the wear and tear it has endured.
But, when science ventures inside
and tells me of the scarring,
the damage,
and the graffiti of a lifetime,
I stop and wonder
where I went wrong,
where I failed
and why I did not notice soon enough,
or know enough to care for this temple precious?
Why was I not aware before
of the damage being done,
and the abuse unintended?
I am not ready yet
to implode this temple into the dusts of time.
I have so much more to do—
I must make amends,
make well this human edifice
that I have so long neglected.

Human Being
"...And forget not that
the earth delights
to feel your bare
feet
and the winds
long to
play with
your hair..."

Innocence Is
Innocence, calling you back.
Innocence
experiences a state
of perfection.
Expressing innocence,
waking like an iris
and accepting what is.
Innocence
is definite and clear.
Innocence just is.

Forgiveness
There was a lump in my heart
A knot in my shoulders
A heaviness about my person
A strained look on my face
And then I learned how to forgive.

Heroine's Journey - Phoenix Child
Journey of Fire.
Satchel full of things
to take, flint and
paper, apple and quill,
notes for the way.
Travellers all,
gathering,
excitement crowd.
A page of history
disintegrates in the flames.

The Last Dance
Some years ago I had to decide to stop dancing, rather than allow my health to downgrade my dancing I would stop before humiliating myself in front of an audience. I've not worn pointe shoes since that day, not even in private.
I took the last pair of pointe shoes, took them for one last spin and cast one of them into the garbage bin and left the studio. It was gutwrenching. The other of the two slippers I have kept, tucked away in my clothes closet.
Today I took my old friend out of the closet and we sat a while, thinking of old times, the times when I could fly. The ribbon was loosened and the shoe placed on the foot. It still fits, but without a mate I cannot take it for a ride. So with a sigh, the ribbon is tucked around the heel again and the shoe after one more portrait, was put out of sight again.

Luminescent Cloud - Fullest Moon
Fullest moon,luminescent cloud,
light,
without heat,
luminous.
Dark wood,
sleeping wood,
shady,
dark,
with luminosity.
