What Are You Looking For?

~ Emma ~ Leave a comment

What are you looking for?
Something to eat, something to wear, something to share?
What are you looking for?
Something to tell, something to sell, something to yell?

What are you looking for?
A change of season, a change of reason, a change of breathin’?
What are you looking for?
A bigger shirt, a bigger house, a bigger spouse?

What are you looking for?
More of this, more of that, a few more hats?
What are you looking for?
Something easy, something pleasy, something sleazy?

What are you looking for?
A conversation, a contemplation, a consecration?
What are you looking for?
An answer, a solution, a truth?

What are you looking for?
The next best thing, the last worst day, a fruitful array?
What are you looking for?
More time, more shine, more lime?

What are you looking for?
Less and less and less?
What are you looking for?
More and more and more?

What are you looking for?
Answers in wrong places, people with rude faces, shoes with no laces?
What are you looking for?
Scented moments, euphoric passion, exciting teasers?

What are you looking for?
A cheap deal, stuff on sale, bargains galore?
What are you looking for?
Higher stakes, risky breaks, too many takes?

What are you looking for?
Someone to laugh with, someone to latch with, someone to last with?
What are you looking for?
A quiet night, a beautiful sight, a dimming light?

What are you looking for?
A fresh start, a new heart, a lemon tart?
What are you looking for?
A replacement, a renovated basement, a defacement?

What are you looking for?
A cooler temperature, a more perfect day, a whole new way?
What are you looking for?
A flower, a tree, a shopping spree?

What are you looking for?
Recognition, admiration, validation?
What are you looking for?
Kindness, softness, someone to help sweep the floor?

What are you looking for?
A few more dimes, a few less chimes, a few more signs?
What are you looking for?
To stop the flow, to halt the horse, to make it snow?

What are you looking for?

Nurtured by Nature

~ Emma

You came by today and it was so good to see you.

When you touched me I felt your energy,
the warmth of your soul.

There were many others around but it just felt like us two.

As I looked down, you looked up,
we smiled and we were whole.

Many years together now, today was an important day.

My branches sheltered you and you
took the power.

Invigoration, strength and courage I smelled in your blood, it was a splay.

Your face, the sweetest sight not even the rain
could give a more beautiful shower.

You’ve been a victim too many times, but I’m right here, in between the sea and the silence.

I’ll never leave, and you know that. I’m always here when you come
and I’m standing stronger because you visit me.

When you arrived today again, I was grateful because I felt our special alliance.

There are many stories ahead for you, there are plenty of souls waiting,
you hear their plea.

You acknowledge me every time like it’s our very first meeting, and the aliveness I feel from your presence is purifying and thrilling.

Next time you could stay longer if you’d like, you could wrap your arms around me
and our souls could ignite, that’d be nice.

I could transfer some of my vibration and my deepest wisdom into your veins
and we could see together, the secrets of the future.

You’re always welcome here, I’ll always wait for you, my eyes will open
wider with glee when you approach.

Let’s keep listening to the birds and the breeze together and watch the others buzzing by.

When you’re here, life makes more sense, it’s where you’re supposed to be,
it’s where I am, it’s where we meet and where the Universe begins to listen and coordinate.

Our power together cannot compare, the truths we hold don’t match other realms.

We can choose, we can see, we can breathe, and we can be still,
strong, alone and very free…together.

Thank you for coming today, what a treat. Will you come tomorrow?
It’s ok if you don’t, be free and I’ll wait

The Sound of Sirens

~ Emma

The sound of sirens silences.
You never heard them, they were so loud.
The lights flashing, colours blazing, screaming.
The decibels at the highest pitch, you didn’t flinch.

The heart that stole you, the breath that saved you.
Gone in an instant, the injuries and impact, not minor.
Little bumps, little bumps, little bumps.
A tearful scene inside the mind, smoother now, without alert.

Standing by and watching the chaos, feeling the weight.
Waiting for something, anything to lift the suspicion.
She saw all along, but stayed because she is pure, she is love.
But the sirens are silenced now, no more dilation of sight.

You took nine wrong steps, she led you back and you let her slip.
She knows who you are more than you do.
She wanted to love you, she let herself go somewhere for you.
She will not look back, she will never come back.

The risks, the time, the lies, the loneliness is no more.
The significance of her, of you, of it all, holds now a secret, a lesson.
School was in but now it’s out, the path is very changed.
Chalkboard statements erased.

The planets designed this, they directed the show.
The actors and their parts following script, line by line.
Memorizing became easy, learning became the challenge.
Soaking wet scenes full of spark and defence, trying to calm a drowning tiger.

She lights a candle for you everyday, as you do too.
The beauty in the growth, the transition, the purpose and the alarm.
Never ever will forget, never will the tide stop moving.
Washing away, washing away, washing away the clutch, the cling, the sting.

Who are they now? Who are they really?
Two souls of wonderful light, they gave to one another amidst a storm.
The sound of sirens are silenced. She heard loud and clear.
There is no more mystery. The diamond, is stronger than ever.
