The Garden Road

Posted on December 11, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Nourished by love for the unseen within, when seen by a heart, shimmers, sans end. Swells the bud a flame before bloom, sans thorn, sans pain sans sojourner’s wound. The wilting, the dying, the falling to earth, the paradox wrapped in a gift … Continue reading →

Wild Vine

Posted on December 10, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

We are each alone and together everywhere. Not a molecule of you do I contain; refresh your beauty where you need for you travel like a wild vine in search of falling light, but your roots run deep into me, oh Beloved, I … Continue reading →

Sans Words

Posted on December 5, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Not to be withheld

Posted on December 5, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Bed bound and solitudinous

Posted on October 24, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Bed bound and solitudenous Out beyond the edge of reason, beyond where my senses can claim I cannot sleep or wake… nor dream. A state of insouciant stillness. Bereft of unnecessary memories. I am not loved, I do not love in ways I can … Continue reading →

Earth Bound Elements in Repose

Posted on October 12, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com
