The Road to Self-Discovery

I see the light breaking through the crack inside this wall / And in this moment of cacao clarity, illusion begins to fall / For what I thought I never knew / Can be learned each day as I start with breath that is new

My Nana

In her small frame, a child-like grace / But her mind, a beacon to light this place / Filled with memories of old Dublin's streets / Where laughter danced to timeless beats

The Third Queen

In this space between two stories / It’s time to lie fallow again / To hold my body in the dark / Just as I hold my breath

Lady Righteous

Her mass rolls in each sound uniquely followed by the next. / Venturing out seems daunting but what lies within you is even more haunting.

Scanning the Dream Time

But phoenix within, dormant and still / Awaited the moment, the strength to instill / From ashes rose a spirit anew / To face the darkness, to find what is true

Determined Heart

In a world of shadows, her soul takes flight / Embarking on a journey, seeking inner light / A quest for truth, a path unknown / A heart in search of seeds once sown

Remove the Armour

Remove the armour - has been the call reverberating within / And slowly, and reluctantly, I began to let its wisdom in / Opening my heart was a battle between love and fear / But the deserving winner quickly became clear

Healing

Healing is a word that's being hashtagged and sold, and thrown around / But I wonder if it has truly been found / In a felt sense and expression / In an innate need we've met / Or have we turned it into something else we need to try to 'get'

Phoenix Heart

But phoenix within, dormant and still / Awaited the moment, the strength to instill / From ashes rose a spirit anew / To face the darkness, to find what is true

Home Body

We listen / Listen to the whispers / In the wind / In the moonlight / In the heart / In the shadows / That which has been buried for too long
