Initiation

The dawn of light breaks open,
The most secured of hearts.
Casting fear’s dark shadow,
Across secret corridors.

Will you come walk with me,
Through this stark twilight?
Won’t you stand beside me,
To hold my small hand tight?

Forms coalesce, take shape, dance and hide,
Worlds once forgotten born anew.
Angels and demons are raised and play,
In a mind questioning its view.

Will you come walk with me,
Through this stark twilight?
Won’t you share your arm with me,
To keep my footsteps light?

Vulnerability rises...silent in repose,
Caution at this time is key.
Will It be wrapped in the light of love,
Or consuming anxiety?

Will you come walk with me,
Through this stark twilight?
Won’t you come and sing to me,
To guide me toward the light?

Waves of surrender gently roll in,
As a new inner threshold is breached.
Will you reach out and bathe in its wisdom,
Or continue to remain out of reach?

Will you come walk with me,
Through this stark twilight?
Won’t you sit down and rest with me,
To explore this deep insight?

The Dark Goddess

Once in awhile the Universe provides, an opportunity to view self through an observer's eyes. Today I was humbled and dismayed to find, that I cannot harness the Dark Goddess's ride. While I like to pretend to have total control, She is part of my wild side, part of my soul. I prefer the inner Angel all calm and sweet, While the Dark Goddess I wish none to meet. She fills me with guilt and unbearable shame, If only somehow her f ire could be tamed. My Angel tells me that Dark Goddess shouldn't exist, Yet in the end, it's the Angel who's dismissed. Why is it so hard to admit imperfection? To see all parts of self in my own reflection? To love even the unlovable parts of me, In that I am uncertain and yet I know it is key. How can you accept her when I myself cannot? What makes me deny her a conscious dwelling spot? If she's a valid and natural part of me, then I must figure out how to set her free.  by Apr

Daffodil

 An ancient wall comes crumbling down, ivy snaps...cascades to the ground. The protected garden behind the wall, grew an idea of love too small. It could not sustain our love within, it was time to reflect...to start over again. So I took a deep breath and let in the light, that destroyed the wall and expanded my sight. Within that new field I planted to grow, a deeper understanding of our love to know. And just today, not a moment too soon, I spied our first flower, a Daffodil bloom. by April Bender Mood audio: Most Wonderful Music - Between Worlds Synchronicity: Daffodils are symbolic of spring - of birth and new beginnings.

Sun Prayer

Caress me soft, caress me true, Oh essence of Light in shimmering hues. Show me your secrets, come let us play, Together we'll dance, letting cares melt away. Penetrate all . . .cell, blood, and spirit, Imbuing, activiting, expanding my limits. Teach me of beauty and things not yet seen, Illuminate the mind, revitalize my being. Warm Mother Earth so green shoots grow, Allowing blossoms to bloom, and life to flow. And as you beam cosmic codes to the ground, May we seek out their soft tinkling sound. by April Bender Mood Audio: Most Emotional Music Ever: Awakening
