Words from the Past
METANOIA
It’s my choice
I can change my mind
It’s my prerogative
Which way am I inclined?
Oh, an afterthought
And the questions assail my mind
What is my purpose
Hmm! How am I inclined?
I am a product of my everyday
What I read, what I say
The people I associate with,
What I listen to, eat and drink
But deep in my soul
I know my spiritual path
Inner growth, maturation
A deep contrast
Yet it’s time to embody my Soul
And let all else that no longer serves me… Go
SCINTILLA
A quick flash
A brilliant spark
Like a diamond in the dark of night
A sentient being or could it be a wight, I seen?
A crack of light
To fast for my naked eye
Like a burning ember in flight
Ahh, the soft warm glow of the firefly
Hundreds of lightning fae
I stand bewitched by their erratic path
Dancing like pixie dust falls
In a frisson of dazzling flight
And then they were gone…
SILLAGE
A scent that lingers in the air
Divine impression
Awakening a curious vibe
La trace du parfum de quelqu’un
The sillage permeates
Through the open window
Like a fresh Spring morning
Le printemps est le temps de l’amour
And tickles his nose
Enticing him to come closer
Excitement, hope… Nostalgia
Un amour perdu dans le passé
