Stardust

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ 1 Comment

Ants, unlimited and active,

Are shooting stars

On a moonless night

Darting swiftly across the vast expanse

Without end or rest.

Eagles, attacked by blue jays,

Shake them by ascending

Thermal, hypoxic air

Between this spinning rock

And infinite dark.

I am the ant,

Digging and hauling

Building and seeking

Unaware of my cosmic counterpart.

I am the eagle,

At lower altitudes

Plagued by pecking and scratching

Transmitted through my psyche.

To know my stardust

And to meet it there —

Will deliver me from these daggers

I grasp in fearful hands.

Venusian Clouds

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

With our last kiss goodbye

I saw myself reflected in his eyes as

We promised to meet in our dreams.

Now,

He sings to me

While removing a mask

That purges toxic beliefs

And stale contracts

He dances with me

Overjoyed in his body and

Unafraid to bare his heart with

His generous smile close to mine

We rest together

I pull from my suitcase an incandescent sphere

Swirling with Venusian clouds, expanding

While I nestle in his protective arms

We talk on the phone

I say, “come to me, I’m on a floating, lush mountain surrounded by stars”

I think he will have to book a flight, but

He hurls a rope and begins to climb

Assisted by an angel who agrees

Our last kiss would not be goodbye.

Longing

You blamed yourself

Your sweet, soft

Essence

For your suffering

Rather than those who mishandled you

So you banished it

Deep within defensive shadows

Locked behind a fear-proof door

Unknowingly

Caging currents of your

Lifeforce

Settling you into sticky

Half-truths and

Deluded satisficing but

I knew you before the disunion

So when you pulled me close

I recognized your radiance

Reaching to me through the cracks

Longing to be released

And held

In my sweet, soft

Safety

Thousands of Petals

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ 2 Comments

Delicate pink blossoms float

With creek bubbles

Passing beneath a stone arch bridge

Like fairies

Grazing between willow’s soft fingers

Lily pads and lotus flowers catch them downstream

I sit on the grass amongst thousands of petals

Holding open a book I’m meaning to read

Words on the page call to me gently

But all I can think of

Is you

Seeking

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ 2 Comments

Seeking my bear

I found cobalt dragonflies

Lounging on blades of grass;

Water gleaming, cradling boulders;

Knotted roots anchoring pines.

Two osprey circled the mountain air.

They crisscrossed,

And I felt you

Standing next to me

As if we would hold a secret

Of a dive into the alpine lake,

Returning to the sky with a fish.

Then, we would catch a kiss and a bear hug

Beside the shore.

Speak to Me

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

You are beyond words

Beyond definition

Known by a thousand names

You are

The unnamable one

How am I charmed

To feel our connection

Speak to you through my center

My guides

Your responses evade

My comprehension

I do not always hear

Or accept

Your soft, still voice

But please,

Speak to me

In a way I can understand

Sprinkle my dreams with your visions

Help me move beyond words

Beliefs

Keeping me in cycles

Separate from your touch

I Have Arrived

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

I have arrived —

With you gazing at me

The way you do —

To a place of absolute peace

Absolute freedom

Knowing that

All the pieces of my past

That hurt, that healed,

That sent me in roundabout directions,

Make perfect sense

Because every moment existed

For me to arrive and experience

This look upon your face

Rainbows

~ Chelsea Lynn ~ Leave a comment

Pouring through my window

Casting rainbows across my room

Plants have long awakened

Petals expanding into bloom

In the brightness and warmth

Colors dance across my face

Memories of steps with you

Our arms linked perfectly in place

With feet kissing the earth

A rhythm for our hearts to follow

Moving us deeper into our embrace

Erasing all doubts and sorrow
