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

A Way Through

Oh spark
of love..

reignite
our stifled
and forgotten
light..

illuminate
a way 
through

these dark
uncharted
days..

back to 
you.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Even As

Even 
as..

my mind
flits
and 
turns;
racing
raging
churning..

with 
more
and more

of life..

love
is at my core.

All That’s Been

I'll meet you
somewhere
in between..

within the light
of all
that's been..

where unspoken 
words
cannot 
hide..

and love abides.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Clear View

On the edge..
wedged between
hope and fear..

with a clear
view

of
love..

will you
fly

and rise
above.

Whisper

We're tethered
together
here
yet alone, set apart..

I can hear
each heart

whisper..

I'm reaching out
reaching out

touch my soul.

Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Life’s Terrain

A child
in life’s terrain;
I stumble
and fall..

blaming
no one..

darkness
cannot
bind me..

light
will always

find me.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

Avalanche

The grasping
and never
lasting..

falling below;
knowing nothing
feeling small..

an avalanche
of living

smothering
and recovering

forgiving
all

standing tall.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Awake

I  could hear
the universe
whispering
the truth;
calling
my name..

the walls
have fallen..

the game
has changed..

love remains.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Seeds

Maybe
I have always known
the seeds of love
now fully grown..

would remind me
of all that's lost
and tossed
aside..

in the living
of life..

and giving
away

of our truth.
