Towards the Light

Let's turn
towards
the light;

can you feel 
its expansion
within..

as fear begins
to retreat;

defeated..

and faith
meets
love.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Something Beautiful

A shaft of light;
the flash
of belief..

forgiving insight;
a falling
leaf..

benevolent toil;
the butterfly’s
wing..

a merciful smile;
all fragile
things.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

Shadow

There is no
darkness;
only
a shadow..

just
the shrouded
reflection
of all 
that blocks
the power
of light

to reveal

to heal
to grow.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Waiting

We weep alone
in silence
with the healing 

wounds
of existence

waiting..

for life's
symmetry
and innocence
to return..

to see the essence...
be the light.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Disentangle

Disentangle
all the torn
outworn
pieces
still inside you..

bruised emotion
quiet disgrace;
the untruths

within..

that buried place
where light
breaks in

and love
begins.
