peel the onion
round and round
underneath
guess what i've found
with the layers gone
and the pretense too
what matters most
comes into view
the essential me
emerging light
transparent blue
fused with crystal white
the life force
the beating heart
the creative impulse
at its start
raw energy
joy to share
unencumbered
waiting there
a brief encounter
a flickering flame
the moment passes
i’m not the same
Beautiful Patty!

ReplyDeleteYou have so much inside you to share. I'm so honoured you are sharing it with us. Beautiful photos, exquisite words. xoDonna
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes! I love the pairing and your poem.
ReplyDeletep.s. Do you have a Mac with iMovie? After I created that visual meditation, I had the idea to do another one to pair photos and poetry. Only I spoke the poem. It was so fun! Except I had to speak the poem about a million times to get the timing right. I haven't saved and shared it yet, but it was so fun (and relatively easy) to do. This made me think of you - you might enjoy doing something like that too. It would be like your slideshows, only with the addition of voice.
love this. the true self is inside. not what we see on the exterior.
