Musings of the Light- From Day to Night (A Meditation of the Soul)





Today brings what tomorrow cannot

The present moment

Yesterday forgot






Twilight

A morning moon

Amid the turquoise sky

Feelings of wonder

In a hushed lullaby


Find a quiet place to

Either sit or lie down

Making sure you are 

comfortable

For we begin a journey

Together

Filled with color and light

Poetry and song

Stillness and time

As we travel the road

To self- awareness

Awakening the soul

Embracing all change within

And with each beautiful breath

Inhaled

Know the path home

Always leads back to you

In feelings anew


The sun greets the moon

With the promise of today

And all it will bring




Dawn

When you are ready 

Slowly inhale

Allowing yourself this 

Precious moment 

In the stillness of what is

And what will be 

In marveling at the 

wonder

To simply breathe

As you gently exhale

Feel yourself surrender

To the changing of the light

Knowing you too are changing

As you awaken to the day

See the colors in your mind

Remnants of steel gray

And lavender 

Give way to the dawn’s

Magenta and gold

A painting in the sky

Amidst colors of old

With awe inspiring magic

They enlighten our soul

Embrace their beauty 

As you once again

Inhale slow

Ever present

Into the sun’s

Warm shimmering rays

Now saffron and sienna 

Let your heart guide

the way

A beacon in love

Exhale

Imagining 

Rose coloured clouds

Enfolded with care

As you soar like a dragon

Adrift on air


Mid-day (Noon)


Bring yourself back 

To the present moment

To the breath

And the beating of 

your heart

Notice any sensations

You may be feeling 

Acknowledge them

Reveling in the stillness

and awareness once more

Allow the mind 

To continue onward

Into the ever changing light

Slow breath inhaled

Find hope

In sunbeams

Filtering through billowy clouds of blue

Exhale as you watch them dance with

Grace and ease

Casting shadows on leaves of green

Tiny raindrops begin to fall

Still present 

You observe it all

A delicate sun shower

Illuminating a rainbow in flight

Be a rainbow in a world of blue…  illuminate the sky in wondrous hues


Dusk


Embers of amber

Ignite the sky

As sunset bids day goodbye


Again we pause 

In self-awareness 

Coming back always to the breath

To our being 

To the quiet inside

For day is at end

And with it all worries and strides

Joys and sorrows

Intertwining into the moments 

that were

Inhale deeply

Let them slip away

With the gentle bidding of day

Our path now leads to a white 

sandy beach

Its touch cool beneath our feet

Beckoning us to lie upon it

We smell the saltwater

Hear the waves gently caress the shore

See the last rays of sun

Disappear beyond the horizon

As he awaits his lover

The moon 

To kiss in sweet adieu


Stay for a moment- envisioning your world existing

In the twilight of dreams

Observing the dusky sky 

Transform to beautiful ebony

In the blink of an eye

As sun whispers to the night


I’ll see you at twilight

Night


Moonlight peeks behind the clouds

To see stars beauty shine


Night has fallen

Tiny crystalline diamonds 

Luminous

Fill a blackened sky

Moonlit clouds drift lazily by

Midnight  has come and gone

Still you lie

Upon the white sandy beach

Feeling the rhythm of your heart

Rise and fall

You accept  inner peace

Inhaling all

As you gaze upon the moon

And wish upon the stars

With each breath of your being

You become one with their light

The very light you’ve sought 

Always guiding

Always present

For you had forgotten

You were once a star

And the colors of the sky

The tiny raindrops falling

The ocean tides

This awareness embodies your soul

Liberating

For you are the ebb and flow

Ever evolving

And with each exhale

You let go…


“Rest easy, moon whispers

tomorrow comes in the dawn’s first light”


Night falls to day

Surrendering his all

As day embraces night

In beauty and awe


And you bring yourself back 

Once final time

To follow the light

Be it day... or night














The Alternate Dream

Sky aglow in wonder

Celestial infinity

Forever… a mere moment

​Basking in fragility

Wandering, but not lost

Seeking, but still not found

Reaching for a distant star

Eternally bound

Luminous is the shining light

Not unlike my own

Gleaming in the distance

A place… called home

Wandering, but not lost

Seeking, but still not found

I ponder the alternate dream

Adrift amid its sound

The music a hushed lullaby

One with my heart

Entwining the soul-

To a timeless love…

Parallel worlds apart

Wandering, but not lost

Seeking, but still not found

Illuminating is the distant star

Eternally bound
