Between sky and earth 4

ivanmironov.photosight.ru

Things that grow
always look up 
to the skies
for nourishment
and I belong to this earth
drawing from it
upon it
and finally giving unto it
It is not that the earth is
because the skies pour into it
nor that the sky is 
because it is the earth that
carries it
but both earth and sky are
because I am in between
loving them for
eternity. 

Love4

Is there some magic
to your words?
They take my soul
in captivity and
transport it to
realms undreamt of
where time stands still
and memory dissolves
All is love and love is
all and there is
neither me nor you
and yet there is love. 

Firm and flowing

Calmness does not stop
currents underneath
But there has been ease
with the flow
Thoughts come and go
and I keep watching
clouds in the sky
It's been quiet for a while now
and so serene
The breeze is so gentle
and it whispers to me
to find a base
I wonder for what
Yet I have learnt to obey all
things natural.. 

Love 3

Am lost in love
that's showering down 
from the skies 
enlivening every cell
in my body
every throb in my
heart and
every moment
of my existence
I know not 
where I am
what I am
and what of
me is there
any more.

The Sigh of the Rock

rzachar.photosight.ru

Storms raged
Tempests trounced
All that lived and grew
pushing me to the edge
of this rocky wall
which alone offers
support and protection
Till the dawn of another
day
I will hold on
cling to this rough
yet sure hand of support
from a lifeless rock
but wait....
what's this I hear....
It's the sigh that 
started aeons ago
and is only now 
heard from 
the closed lips
of this mighty
rock!
 

Between earth and sky 3

The hurricane brought down
trees and plants
a few bushes remain
I watch the clouds float
across the sky
it has been like this
since time immemorial
My moods float across
the sky of my being
Has it been there too
for times unknown?
Am I going to merge
into the elements 
too
and become the sky? 

Between sky and earth 2

A few slender blades of grass
the breeze lulled into quiet
Light beams flit across
a darkening sky -
almost shy of its vastness
in front of my all-seeing eyes -
and I rest on my shadow
softly
waiting to be transported
to those vast spaces 
of light and gratitude. 

Between sky and earth 1

Between earth and sky
I stand gazing ahead
and see life
spread out among
stones and bushes
seeping through
mud and sands
flashing light
in darkness
Between memory and present
I want to fly off
into the clouds and
rainbows.
But where else
can I get warmth
except on this earth?

Living trees

Shorn of tenderness 
gone are the leaves
leaving bare
the bark, the branch and the trunk
But life flows within
drawing upon its roots
waiting
waiting for another day
another fall
the rainfall.
It's enchanting
the way things happen
to change the outlook
no pushing no frothing.
I fancy some of it
rub into me.

Solitude by rocks 7

shuryan.photosight.ru

Everything is a piece
in this wilderness
of something.
Dried to the bone
all life squeezed out
I find a kindred soul
in this rough-hewn
unknown nameless
god-forsaken rock
that minds nothing
but allows soil to gather
for the grass to grow.
Fade it may into pale
yellow but will turn
anew into a vibrant green
when clouds gather
to celebrate life.
I know in my bones
life still flows in my veins.

Solitude by rocks 6

Chipping away for centuries
 wherever and whenever
Pouring down for centuries
come every autumn
Standing firm and solid
as long as you can
I cannot but adore you
my dear Rocks
Shall I share my little secret -
I have been trying to sculpt
life 
just the way you do.

To light...

igoworonco.photosight.ru

Dark memories
dank mysteries
have I left behind
in the flow of water;
everything is carried aloft
some decays n some
deposited at the bottom slowly
Deep and slow is the way
of settling things down
and now I face light
cleansed of all the mud
and sands of time.
