Something More

Yearning for something more, anything…

anything that stirs my soul down to 

my toes tapping, 

    hips swaying, 

       fingers snapping

        with a glorious spin ~

my face turned to the sun

in defiance of the winds of change. 

Yearning for something more, anything…

that shoots me through spring soil 

despite rocky crags or drying lands

to gift me with joy while I let go of darkness, grief or sadness

replanting them carefully in soil of the past

giving them a chance to become fertile soil 

for the seeds and flowers that support 

exciting journeys yearned for.

Yearning for something more, anything…..

yeasty aromas, exotic rhythms and soothing music ~ 

all underpinnings of home and hearth ~

denying any muttering or wondering 

about where I am and who I am ~

for an open flow of energy with 

momentum and action to refine and

transform old habits and lessons in this love of life

Yearning for something more, anything…..

Brings me the joy of learning 

creating more from what is present

unravelling yesterday’s trips down memory lane 

to find questions still to be answered with

directions I still wish to follow on roads and lanes

lined with inner wisdom and knowledge

that awaken my sleepy consciousness.

Yearning for something more, anything….

that brings me joy ~ 

whether gems or rocks to fill my life with

  beauty in each day and 

     dreams for tomorrow

        while cherishing an ever wavering mirage of the past

complete with colourful balloons, iridescent soap bubbles 

and gardens full of growth, life and living.

“…that yearning inside you that seeks for fulfillment - does it still burn?”

~ John Geddes, A Familiar Rain
