Restless clouds
with destinations..

thunderous
in movement
and transformation..

messengers
with a message..

strangers
yet friends..

light returns
darkness ends.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Deeper

Deep
within
my being..

deeper
than any sorrow
or blind
non-seeing..

I find..

the resilience
of love..

the innocence
of love.

Affinity

Like 
breaking waves..

aching
for time's
release..

we reach for
affinity's
shore

restored 

by
peace.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Peace

An olive branch;
a white dove's 
view;
another chance
to renew

a fountain
of love..

above and beyond

all thoughts
of right or wrong

or belonging to.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

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

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

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

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

Faith

I will not
allow
this life
to freeze my heart
I vow..

nor tear my soul
apart
with doubt
and loss
of faith..

I embrace

all that flows
with kindness;
love 
and grace.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

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

Meandering

Energies and signs;
synergy
and time..

bind
yesterday
tomorrow
and today..

meandering

like a river
passing
through..

we find
our
way.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

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.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: This Beautiful Abyss

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.
