Black Tears - A Poem

11/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Black tears rain down my face
Black as night shedding colors from the day
Light dims and the shadow rises, like a foolish dreamer
Stars twinkle so far away
My reach is not long enough
Black tears rain on my cheeks
Reminding me of a lost way
Families fall
Night takes over
Love is hard to hold
Black tears rise from the early morning mist
Grey takes over the land
Coarse contact preys on the body
Black tears run down my face asking to meet
Above the tree line where the sky touches the snow
Distraction has no room to dance
Space holds silence
Silence holds stillness
Stillness holds reconciliation
Love becomes one

Unfinished Business - A Poem by Karen Barbarick-Collins

9/8/2020

0 Comments

 
How to move with ease and grace 
In the unspoken addiction to life
Afflictions amplified by
Memories of truth 
Are always by my side

Do not fall asleep
Beware of 
Illusion and constraints
Three dimensions create walls 
Do not get trapped on one side
Like the moon in daylight

Dance in the field and
Delight in the horizon
Angels and Demons
Woven together tight 
Shadows compressed into space 
​

Machinery dismembered
Skin shed
Dismiss color
Dismiss sound
Dismiss taste
Dismiss touch
The mind betrayed by itself 
awakens from confinement

In the distance Is love
seeping through
Cells held together
By gravity shared

The planet is animated again
A new hologram
Rainbow light flickers
Distilled ash
Shutters and shakes
Around and around
We go
Unfinished business

Ascension Distilled - A Poem

Somebody catches me, I’m falling up toward the moon.
 
I can’t see a thing with all the bright light. I’m consumed.
 
How weird I feel transparent in the air.
 
Is this the end or the start of something new?
 
Where will I go from here?

The Celtic Healer

Reclaiming the healer in me
The Celtic child that could see
The girl who could call
and calm the storm
The one who could talk to the thorns
I reclaim the healer in me
The knower of nature now has her wings
The earth gives me power
The sky feeds my spirit
I will not forget you
I will not reject you
The healer in me
My Celtic cross has been freed
I reclaim the Seer
With courage
Believe

A Celtic Tradition

Ancestors come to me
I am here for you
You are me and I am you
The grace, the memory
The signs, the symptoms, the Eulogies
Ancestors come to me
I am here for you
You are me and I am you
Forbidden and ghostly
I am antiquity
Ancestors come to me
I am here for you
You are me and I am you
I am my mother, my father, my sisters, my brothers
I am the children, the babies
The unborn soldiers
I am the wisdom of the fallen ones, the heart that moved them The bugs that swallowed them
I am the kind words spoken of them; I am healing
Grandmother come to me, riddled in wonder tell me your reason
Grandfather come to me tell me your why
I am the fox as it sneaks up behind me
I am the minds that are locked up around me
I am everything
Ancestors come to me
I am here for you
You are me and I am you.
