WORDS, LIKE WATER, FEED THE SOUL...

Cuahitlicac
(upright tree)

Deer sacred, giving tree

I give thanks for
Precious elements

within me

Medicine wheel turning
Breathing AIR
Drinking WATER
Waking EARTH
Burning FIRE

Bears and mirrors

Bathing tears

Release these fears

Oh Great Spirit

You know my name

I am love

We are one in the same

I open my heart

In loving communication

I am safe, I am well

I am home within

* Cuahitlicac: A Nauhatl word meaning "Upright Tree",
the part that knows how to speak with the heart in sincerity

Eleventh of November

my blue moon
open
i am wide open
fasting for peace

painful healing energy
leads me
the mistress of spices
to the spirit world
in smiling crying mirrors
i catch a dream
see you in me
hold my hand
close to your heart
you love me
say you will never leave

fading in and out
only part of me left
needs to die

pink candles
red moments
this pain never seems to leave

almost there

ashamed for you to see me so broken,
don't want this in our backpacks
cry quietly in the night
parasites
toxic poisons in my guts
trying to get out
my body wants to heal

heal the world

such bliss
this dream, your heart
close to mine
dreams keep me strong and alive
wondrous visions of beauty
love together
build a bigger dream for this world
stronger, open to peace
justice for women, children
for family, community
shape shifting people around me
guardian spirits affect me
protect my quest
inner peace for love
caught in this dream

i can fight
i have my own will

one is the magic number

            With a little help from my friends,

Lady of Motion

I am mujer maiz
Moving through colors
Dancing bear ceremony
Brings new life
Opening crown
To pink elephants
A circus clown
Fearful of new beginnings

Cry, cry, cry
BREATHE...
LOVE...
RELEASE...
PEACE...

I am lady of motion
Overwhelmed by emotion
Purple on my mind
Lost in time
In Love
Again
Called upon passions
To ripen from within
