Bird in Flight

Circling
around..

all the beginnings
and endings 
with tattered wings;
feeling lost
yet found..

surviving
and arriving

here
alone..

now a bird 
in flight
again..

going home.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Moving On

Places
and faces
have gone..

tears shed
have left no trace;

no sign..

time
bled
away..

it led us
onwards

moving on

Life’s Call

I'm done
fighting life

with double-edged
swords
and angry 
words..

resisting;
and persisting
in loops
and circles..

I let go of it all..

I surrender
until

I hear
life's call.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Meandering

Energies and signs;
synergy
and time..

bind
yesterday
tomorrow
and today..

meandering

like a river
passing
through..

we find
our
way.

Why

I don't know
why..
birds migrate 

and rivers run
dry..

why fate unfolds
like a story
told..

of rising high; 

falling low 
rising high.. 

I don't know why.

Perfect Moment

A seed
awaits
the perfect
moment

to emerge..

anticipating
nothing

knowing nothing

not even
that it's waiting.

Fragments

The wounded
fragments
of this time
and place
are laid waste..

the emergent new
the faded old..

transformed
reborn.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe:

New Days

Days rolling on
through dusk
to dawn;
through
and
through..

with
or without
me
or you..

new days
becoming
seasons
turning..

new days
becoming.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Beyond

Beyond
the knowable;
untold mysteries
bond
and illuminate
us..

merge
as one..

celebrate
the joy
of life
as it comes.
