Trees weave about me,
as if they hear a song
whispered in the wind.
Notes played,
words spoken,
rhythm shared
among the rustling leaves.
The river vibrates,
with the sound of
soft steps echoing
in the ripples of waves,
a measured base
to the cadence of the night.
I gaze up at mountains,
craved by the sighs and
breaths of God.
Deep within,
slumbering,
waiting,
caught in the
mystic embrace of
the song of the jungle.
I feel the earth move,
with each drowsy snore,
desires moving from
my feet to my lost heart,
reclaiming,
igniting,
setting free,
all the joyous intent
that is in me.
Open my arms wide,
spinning,
until the world around me
are rainbows in motion
dancing to the
beat of the jungle.

AN: Inspired by my amazing friend, Art by Thiviyaa’s piece “Heartbeats in the Amazon”, who will be showing her work today, October 1,2016 at Nuit Blanche – a prestigious art event in Toronto that runs from sunset to sunrise. Her work will be on display at Red Head Gallery, info can be found below.
Very proud of her and all the work she has done. She continues to take the world by storm!!!
Heartbeats in the Amazon
Echos in the sky
recollections held in light
trusted to the night
tales too honest in daylight
wish them upon stars to keep.

Colour the night skies
A guided path in the dark
Lead me to safety.

Even when the stars twinkle out of existence,
and their light can no longer guide you,
I will be here.

If I woke up to only see stars,
I would see them reflected
In your eyes.
