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?

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.

In Loving Memory - Grandma Corky

Grandma, you were a sun in my world a loving radiance shining on a little girl. You nurtured and nourished me in wonderful ways, you taught me of adventure, curiosity, and play. When life became dark you illuminated my night, you loved me, you pushed me, and fought for what was right. You showed me what will and determination can do, and to myself you taught me to always be true. There are so many memories flowing into my heart, it pains me to know that for now we must part. But the seeds that you planted deep inside of me, have helped me to blossom into a mighty oak tree.
