Poetry Corner: Signs Along the Journey

Baby screams to enter this world
from fetal place it now must uncurl
warriors shields, arrows unfurl...
Aries can't fathom to fight like a girl

Stop the fighting and begin to dance
through growth and change we do enhance
we learn life's pleasure's in love perchance
as Taurus nurture's nature's plants

Gemini heralds, "It's a race!"
He sure does warn of life's fast pace
always moving from place to place
collecting knowledge, "just in case"

In Cancer's pool reflects the moon
the dish came back, but where's the spoon?
Illusions broken and not too soon
yet mother's love stays in full bloom

Sir Leo knows that he's the king
so warmth and joy he knows to bring
he'll play and teach us all to sing
he'll also burn if you dare cling

In servitude there is a joy
when we get over feeling coy
Our higher self we now employ
Virgo can't treat life like a toy

To only give will make one sick
with Libra comes a balance trick
grace and beauty, not one nick
charming and gracious, very slick

The changes make your roots feel shook
learn not to be an open book
but into others one can look
'tis the rule in Scorpio's nook

From looking in we next explore
across toward the farthest shore
to be confined one would abhor
down to the Sagittarius core

Come back to earth and blow your horn
"get to business" says Capricorn
from solitude a wisdom born
through our hard work the world's adorned

Now tied to earth and in a bind
we try to free our lightening mind
in Aquarius, a truth we find...
diversity is still life's same kind

Lastly into Pisces we slip
where to meld we would gladly clip
our wings, to taste of God one sip
before we're ready for the next trip

Poetry Corner: The Dream Weaver's String Palette

Love's birth, joyfully dancing in the musical
with the ignorance of a little knowledge
giving birth to the conception of self
the light of sunrise demanding
to dare to dream

silver-blue moonbeams shine on shape-shifting forms
the wisps of allegory rising from the mist
whispering secrets in ever earnest ears
haunting sleepers
to dare to dream

collecting colorful pebbles along the path
butterfly wings spin swirling colors in search
of the quintessential flavors of life's essence
reminding the messenger
to dare to dream

polarized for magnetic attraction
legs entwining without beginning or end
in unison, music and romance grace the dance floor
seducing even distant lover's
to dare to dream

releasing the push beyond rational reason
before blood curdling heat boils over liver red
growth's needs disregarding multiple perspectives
forcing the living
to dare to dream

echos from distant shores of why
there are unanswerable whys
and few grails worthy of the holy search
igniting all explorers
to dare to dream

enduring quietly in the lair of wisdom's growth
laid bare in celestial contemplation
feeding the ancestral tree of tradition
rooted in the strength
to dare to dream

humanity's quantum chaos stringing lives together
as electrical storms charge the heavens
illuminating neon insanity
awaiting inspired genius
to dare to dream

lifetimes spent searching to ride the perfect wave
to Poseidon's salty embrace
rising from below conscious depths
inviting the surfer
to dare to dream

icy swords slice illusions' veils
exposing hidden hearts truths
encasing passions flames reserved for the brave
the caged bird finally set free
to dare to make dreams real
