THE NEW MOON by Louise Marcotte Desrosiers

The reason I wrote this poem is simple...

The energies of the new moon come to me days before. A beautiful buildup! Without knowing, just feeling within- I know. With intentions I prepare for a beautiful release.

The New Moon

There’s a new moon approaching-

just a day away now

designing with intention

for there are many-

stories repeated

memories revealing-

heartfelt moments of

should haves and

could haves,

yet, I don't live there

I don't thrive there

not anymore...

so as the

New Moon approaches-

feelings are stirring

as I patiently await-

preparing

in the knowing-

with every New Moon

that passes-

a great surge

a greater release

takes place within me-

energized with a cleansing

a clear state of well being...

yes, she is just a day away!

truly sensitive to

the New Moon-

with all she frees within me

patiently, lovingly awaiting...

Louise Marcotte Desrosiers: I started writing one year ago this month, August 2013, through a calling from spirit. Inspired to write from my heart, it quickly turned to spiritual/inspirational poetry. I’ve written every day since, both journaling and writing poetry. In January I started my own page: Eva’s Garden-A Poets Delight. I have written for Women as Visionaries with Lore Raymond. I also have recited spoken word at a spiritual event at The Holistic Rejuvenation Center in Sacramento California. This journey of writing is only the beginning. I am now in a Apprenticeship program leading me to my true spiritual calling of Shamanism. Going within my soul, asking my guides for further assistance on my writing, I feel that I am called to write poetry, to bring healing and wellbeing to women.

IMAGINE A WOMAN by Patricia Lynn Reilly

This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection, you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already within you! I invite you to love your creativity fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons, nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful, trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience. Blessed is the fruit of your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance, write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Ga...

STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou

Six years ago, I had the privilege of listening to Maya Angelou speak live on the value of poetry at the University of Florida. I share these reflections with you again today, in honor of her birthday. I was relieved to get one of the last seats available for this rare event, having arrived at five for Maya Angelou ’s free speech at eight. The historically long line began with people settled into beach chairs in winter coats busying themselves on tablets, or eating sandwiches for dinner. As helicopters hovered above and newscasters below, I felt the excitement of realizing that thousands of people were gathering together to hear an eighty four year old black woman recite her poetry! Maya Angelou speaking at University of Florida on Feb. 27, 2013 When the curtain rose -after an overflow of hundreds were sent away- we lucky ones on the inside greeted Maya with a standing ovation, as she smiled sweetly, beginning her talk using metaphors from nature. Maya asked...

MIRABAI'S POETRY by Caitanya Dasi

Much of the mystic love poetry from India revolves around musical and theatrical expressions that portray the loving relationship between the soul and God… One such celebrated relationship was that between princess Mirabai and her divine beloved, Krishna. Born in the sixteenth century into a noble Rajput family, Mirabai married into a family that did not take fondly to her devotion to God. Consequently, she went from royalty to mendicant, and decorated her spiritual path with poetic songs. I first heard of the great poet, Mirabai in the early 1970’s while I was living and studying bhakti yoga at the Hare Krishna temple in Los Angeles, California. As I had a background in the performance arts Mirabai’s life instantly spoke to me. Her fusion of spiritual sentiments with song resonated with my passion for music, drama, dance, and the devotional path to loving God. In 1968 I serendipitously met a devotee by the name of Mirabai, who taught me that the perfectio...
