<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">as i move around and through my life <br />
i'm forever drawn to what inspires me.<br />
to the kindlings that ignite my passions<br />

i am, in my moments of imperfection & evolving strength<br />
drawn to the shore.<br />
i inhale the saline currents of water and air.<br />
i quench myself in golden rays of dayshine.<br />
i am amplified, <br />
as each of Gaia's inconsiderable miracles sing out<br />
mellifluous voices raised<br />
in a sacred hymn<br />
that only i can hear!</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
eastward, in Eden</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
what, </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and quite possibly who</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
might we discover</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
dust off and uncover</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
if we ventured</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
eastward into Eden?</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
a tree ...</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
with roots gnarled and pushed deep</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
into the flesh of the earth,</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
woven and bound</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
into the cultural memory of mankind.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
its boughs weighted with offerings</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of knowledge</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
swaying and creaking under the unbearable weight</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of all that is and has ever been,</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
evil and good</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
a fruit ...</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
eye blindingly golden, imagined ruby red</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
whose very flesh offers</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and makes promises</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of knowledge, immortality, temptation, health</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
love</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
learning, yearning</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
beauty</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
luck</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and wealth</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
a serpent ...</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
coiled at the tree's trunk</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
encircling its waist</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
beguiling and sleek.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
moving as water does - that liquid opal</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
mercurial, dangerous.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
using God's fruit</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
to coax, to dare, to court</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
intrigue </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
ensnare</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
with rousings </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of earthly pleasures</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
sensuality, sexuality, virility and fertility</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
a man.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
a WOMAN … !</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
a woman who could have been me</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and lovlier you</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
why is it believed that she faltered and stumbled</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
in a moment of weakness,</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
when in reality</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
she acted alone</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
held up of her own bones.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
she took the initiative</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
made her own decision</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
born from a deep seeded desire </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
for tenderness</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and the purest </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of affections.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
yes,</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
a sort of</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
'original expression'</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
for she was only striving</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
to achieve blessing </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and to gain a fuller experience </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of life </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
in its entirety</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
to inhale it</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
feel it</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
as deeply as she might</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
to the depths of her core</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
all of it</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
Heavenly</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and not.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
so why?</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
why shouldn't we</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
be more like her</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
that woman,</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
Eve.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
our foremother</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
who far in the East</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
taught us of the human desire</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of the simplest but most profound need </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
to embrace the world </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and ingest experience </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
without restraint ...</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
who reached for the fruit</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and enjoyed </div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
every bittersweet bite.</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
why shouldn't you be that woman</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
in your own Eden</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
in the East</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
of right here</div>
<div style="color: #eeeeee;">
and now?<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">if you were a pansy shell ...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">would you give up your flower shaped heart</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">share its beauty with the world</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">its petals perfectly formed</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">circling</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">radiating</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">from the center of your soul?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">or would you keep it hidden</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">buried in sea water and sand</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">neath a surface of calcium and spines and salt</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">might you linger until your death,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">left adrift in the tides</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">till you washed upon the shore,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">to be pried open by Poseidon's detritus</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">or would you rest there, at the edge of life</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">on the edge of the world</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">content to wait</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">for the eager hands of a passing stranger</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">to scoop you up,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and take you away ...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">to break you open, and to see the bloom</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">you had carried all along</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">but why ...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">why wouldn't you, why couldn't you</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">choose now,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">at this very time and in this exact place</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">to open your chest</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and unfurl your petaloid heart</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">to invite the sun</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and the rain</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and the honey-eating birds,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">the ones you love</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and those you don't</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">to watch you flower, unfold and grow</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">to breath in your fragrance</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">and delight in your color,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">just because.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">because you,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">you have a glowing,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">pansy shaped,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">heart!</span></span><br />

</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">like an unhatched egg<br />
cradled in the nest<br />
'neath mother's wing<br />
i've been incubating, sound & safe<br />
warm<br />
my thoughts and hopes and dreams multiplying<br />
like cells dividing, growing<br />
safe within my shell<br />
<br />
alas ...<br />
new feathers, new wings<br />
take me aloft<br />
carry me away<br />
in search of<br />
new places<br />
as yet unseen<br />
both far and near<br />
<br />
but, bring me back<br />
to the nest<br />
and land me softly<br />
within the cradle<br />
of familiar faces and loving arms<br />
neglected, tho never forgotten<br />
during my time of evolution<br />
<br />
i'm here ...<br />
and,<br />
i'm perched<br />
on the edge of my life<br />
a fledgeling<br />
i'm a New Bird<br />
with wings stretched wide<br />
this will be<br />
a new<br />
first flight<br />
<br />
and i dream<br />
as i take to the air<br />
you'll spread yours too<br />
just along side<br />
tip to tip<br />
in perfect formation<br />
aloft & free<br />
we'll share the view<br />
together<br />
from way up here ...<br />
<br />
birds of a feather ~<br />
<br />
New Birds!</span></span></div>
