Searching through some old Word docs recently I found some of my poetry that I had put into Word docs from my journals. This one called out to be shared…

Gift Of Life

Love,
Be it an expression,
A word,
A thought,
A feeling;
Used oft by some,
Not by others.
For many it be
The truth that sets,
Them free.
For some it be
The chains,
That binds them.
Love,
To my tenet,
Be my gift
Of life.
For, I am free,
To love,
You;
And, all who touch
My soul
With the clarity
That each expression,
Be my gift
Of life,
To share with joy,
And oft
Forgiveness
In my heart.

(Gift Of Life & Red Day Lily ~~ c. Pamela J. Leavey)

My heart beats wildly

In the arms of Mother Nature…

And I could dance with abandon

Like the bare trees in winter…

I am so in love

With the Great Mother Goddess…

Like Aged Redwood

Rise woman in your restlessness
Take solace in the strength
You covet;
For in your glory
If it be you alone who see,
You know not any man
Shall rescue thee.
Stand tall and firm,
Like aged redwood,
Leaves gracefully blowing
Upon the winds of change,
Be caged not like wild cat in capture,
For within you is
No soft tamed feline
To those who would make prey upon you.
Do not be ruled by fears
Meant to blind you,
For within your heart
You see truth and beauty.
Yours is the pinnacle of love’s creation
Let no pinion tie you down.

c. Pamela J. Leavey 1993

Wise Women

It has been said that wise women
Have many stories to tell,
Perhaps that may be true
Of those who have lived
On the edge of both
Heaven and hell.
I wake each day to face the mirror
To see a face that hides
It’s past,
Oh yes, you see it has it’s stories
That hide behind the painted mask.

c. Pamela J. Leavey 1994

Like The Sun

I shall always shine
Like the sun
For you.
I shall always stand
Bright and beautiful,
Next to you;
That you may
Receive the benefit,
Of my power.
I shall always shine
Like the sun
For you.
I shall always comfort,
Guide and care,
For you;
That your light
May grow
To protect me.
I shall always shine
Like the sun
For you.

c. Pamela J. Leavey 1997

c. Pamela J. Leavey 1993

There is an empty space
Where hearts meet in knowing;
That two people share
And fill
Like water and flowers
Together in a vase.
There is a silent place
Where two voices can be heard
Crying out in joy
For love shared,
Becomes the sound
Of the grandest symphony.

c. Pamela J. Leavey
