~ The Butterfly ~

Every choice I've made in life

were of my own decision

Some bad, and some good,

but each one reaping what's been given

I've lost some, and gained others,

but through it all, I have learned,

The best things in life are often earned

Through the toil of hardships

and what we endure.

Pain is a great motivator

That inspires change,

And through the change, we are not the same

The butterfly will never be

unless it goes through change

Through the metamorphosis,

it becomes something beautiful.

Through darkness, it is changed

into something wonderful,

And in our pain, we learn what matters most.

We draw close to the flame

when our nights are cold.

Our innermost desire is to find

where our hearts belong.

~ Spirit Cannot Be Tamed ~

My spirit cannot be tamed.

It is wild and it is free as the ocean waves,

And when the wind blows,

Whether soft as a breeze, or strong as a hurricane,

My soul is stirred in every which way

The wind turns...

And my heart yearns

It is churned by the deep desires that burn

Within my core

She longs to soar,

Like a bird that meets by the shore,

Who sets her gaze towards heaven's door,

Where impermanence is no more

[meekabayird]

~ East of the Sun ~

Sometimes the Soul needs retreat,

Somewhere afar where she may meet

Her true identity,

away from all of life's uncertainties,

And all the world’s conformities.

And so she sets out, Eastward bound,

That her true Self may be found,

Leaving behind Western ground,

Where the Sun falls, to see the rising Crown.

She wants to leave the things behind,

That in her heart have died.

And though in her loss and grief she cried,

Through it she he has realized,

That in death,

We find ourselves, for what is left

And though she mourns for what has left,

She has hope for tomorrow's best.

~ The Pink Triangle ~

Take what was once used for shame

and use it in pride for the queerness you claim

Love who you are and be not afraid

of anything they may do or say

Even if used in contempt or in hate,

like when say they say, "oh that's so gay",

Or when they say f-g, or any other name

Flip what they say and be proud. It's okay.

Yes, I am queer. That is who I am.

If you don't agree, I don't give a damn.

I'll claim it and say it. I'm a proud woman.

So you call me a tranny? Why yes I'm trans.

Now listen up. I got news for you, man.

I'll say it to you and Uncle Sam.

I'm queer and I'm proud of who I am.

And if you don't like it, talk back to the hand.

~ Seed of Possibilites ~

Born as a seed 

In pure innocence 

In the earth 

I sleep in decadence

From the withered remains

That fall and decay

And give way

For new life to grow

I rise from the grave

For in death we return

Back to the earth 

In the cycle of life

We are rebirthed

And reunite with

The spirit of life

From the dark we rise

And as our petals bloom

We are infused

In light

Let the Spirit wash

Over me

And cleanse my soul

In purity 

I become one with the source

I am complete

In all surety

I am perfectly free

To be anything 

As I was meant to be

As my petals unfold 

I open up to all possibilities 

As a seed

I am nothing

But with every breath

I breathe 

In a new beginning 

I receive from the infinite 

Spirit that transcends

All space and time

I am free

In the expanse of mind 

I begin 

In the egg of origin

Ready to be released

From these walls that keep me

Closed within

Until then, I sleep

And dream of possibilities, 

And what could be

Reality

Yet I accept

That whatever will be

Will be

And I receive

Whatever will come to me

I am one with the spirit

In harmony

A serpent will be

As it was meant to be

And will do

As serpents do

To follow your instincts

Is to be true

~ Hill of Poetry ~

I am a hill of poetry.

I am of the earth,

my feet firmly planted to the ground,

With my head elevated as a mound.

My hilltop is a crown,

A storehouse of knowledge,

My sight circumferences me round.

I am a temple mount of worshipful praise.

Climb to the top and you will see

beauty all around,

and what wisdom I have found.

Being of the earth,

I can feel the pulsating rhythmic sound

Of mother's heart beneath the ground,

And my thoughts soar

to touch the heights of heaven's clouds.

I am a hill of poetry

Where lovers love

Where dreamers

Where heaven meets the ground,

Where the nature of this world

and my soul are bound

My love is found,

On heaven's mound.

[meekabayird]

~ Road of Life ~

Together we will always be,

On this road we're walking

For all eternity

Just you and me

And love will make us three,

Though we are one,

And that is plain to see.

Love connects us all together 

In perfect harmony

And we could all be loved,

If we stop pointing fingers 

at our brothers an sisters

When they stumble,

Better to give a helping hand 

and try to understand.

Despite our limitations

And in our desperations,

And in our longing

As we struggle for emancipation,

Clinging on to the very threads of life

That have become the chains 

That bind these hands,

They could never bind this soul,

Forever I am free to roam.

[meekabayird]

~ The Flow of Life ~

I am the flow of life

And what lives inside

The spirit moves 

And brings to life

Everything that comes to sight

And what you see in the light

And everything that’s revealed

In the dark of your mind

Imagination

Is the beginning of all creation

All of your projections

Begins with an inner vision 

What you seek must be sought

In the formation of thought

“What is” is a conception

Of “what is not “

The dreamer dreams of what is unseen

And all that he believes

And brings to light what’s in the dark

And all that he perceives

That he may understand 

What’s beyond the plain

The inner Self lives 

Beyond the mundane

We were created in the image of God

Which means

That light came from the dark

We awoke from a dream

In the womb of thought

We were conceived

And given life

By the spirit that breathes. 

[meekabayird]

~ Beneath the Deep ~

Look deep inside

And you will see

The secret hidden 

In mystery

As sure as the Sun reveals

The Night conceals 

Look within

And see the Moon unveiled

Uncloth her to see

What has been conceived

Be still, and listen,

For what’s revealed

Has been concealed

But if you listen 

You can hear her speak

She rests in the

Subconscious

But we suppress her

And force her in submission

And bind her with all these

Laws and man made indoctrinations

You must look within

To find true wisdom

Not bound by things

That only brings restriction

For inner wisdom

Is not taught by another

But is only a truth

That you can discover

Look deep and see

What’s behind the screen

What you fear

Will also bring you peace

And what you hide

You will find is a thing of beauty 

The inner well that flows

Beneath the deep

~ "Ask the Wild Bees What the Druids Knew" ~

Honey for my heart,

Sweet nectar for the queen

Of the hive of my heart,

Golden copulation of the bees

Pollination of the flowers that bloom in spring,

Beautiful creations, what marvelous art!

Crafted by the hands who wrote

the words upon my heart.

Wisdom of the ages, as told by the sages,

Forgotten words written on leaf pages

Lords of the sky, masters of flight,

Who see the thousand paths in the sky,

Sweet are the words they have spoken,

Like honey that makes my heart gladdened,

heals my body and fills my soul,

Revives my spirit and makes me whole.

It was told, that wild bees know

the secrets of trees,

So I beseech thee to fill me

with that which I seek

Wisdom doest thou bring

upon those secret wings,

Carrying the voice of the wind

that speaks eternally.

[meekabayird]

~ Wish Upon A Star ~

Love, from my heart 

However near or far

I wish upon upon a star 

And I wonder where you are

Look up in the sky

And see there is hope

That shines in the night

For you and I

How it glows so bright 

And fills us with light

Love and life

A wonderful sight

As it shines within

Where we begin

A spark that ignites

And life begins 

Feel the pulse in rhythm 

Our hearts together,  

beating as one in unison

[meekabayird]

~ The Five Senses ~

Look…

everything you see is real

and a part of this world.

Hear…

everything from birds and bees,

in the rustling of trees,

and in the music we sing

and every word we speak

Taste…

the goodness of the earth

and the fruit she births

Smell…

the flowers in bloom in the fragrance of air

when the wind blows softly, flows the hair

Feel…

deeply as the sea,

yet gentle as the breeze

Everything you see,

and hear, and taste, and breathe

and feel is real and a part of you and me
