MY DIVINE LOVER by Emelina Holland

This poem nourishes my soul each time I read it... 

Free poetic form has become a sacred way for me to capture and express the wholeness of my personal spiritual practice as a Practical Mystic: to describe it and to share with others for teaching purposes. "My Divine Lover"  has allowed me to voice my intimate connection and relationship with my Higher Self (Divine Source) in total oneness. This piece has served me as a sacred channel to express my deep inner awareness and inner work, compassion, love and the gratitude I feel towards my personal/spiritual growth which I get to apply to my everyday life. 


My Divine Lover
by Emelina Holland

And it is in my darkest moments
when you continue to softly undress me
so that I can see more depths within myself.
Depths 
that had escaped my curious sight.
Depths...
that you caress with your loving light.

And it is your gentle touch 
The one that holds my tears 
one by one
as you turn them into pearls
you always find a way to make me smile.

And it is in my alone moments
when the silence speaks louder than my mind
you invite me with a sacred song
to fully and truly trust my heart,
the darkness of the unknown,
to fully be and live 
present in the now.

You then embrace me with your warmth
holding strong anything of me that is left behind;
when no part of me is any longer able to hide
I am truly transparent and naked
as I am…Eternally brought back to life,
with my soul fully awakened
I am everything I ever was; 
woven strands 
with all that I am now
and unspoken threads 
of what I am yet to become.

You are the source of inspiration
the one that guides me 
as I write 
my book of life...
You are the poem 
in every page
that has magically made me 
into who I AM.

You are the sacredness 
that runs through my veins…
The Divine Lover with whom 
I make love!
You are my Divine Lover,
the one...
to which 
I give my All.

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. Gather

IMBOLC by Caroline Mellor

The inspiration for this poem came after I watched a magical winter sunset and full moonrise from the top of Firle Beacon in the South Downs... Unusually for me, I wrote the poem quite quickly and changed it very little before publishing it – perhaps the energies were working through my pen! Imbolc is the mid-point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It’s a fire festival which I particularly love because of its associations with Brigid, the Celtic Mother Goddess of arts and crafts, clear sight, healing, inspiration and nurturance of creative talents – something which, through my writing, I am always trying to connect with.  I also love Imbolc because, with so much darkness and negativity in the world today, it is a time for hope, potential, visioning and initiation. With love and blessings as the light returns. Photography by Chanel Baran IMBOLC    by Caroline Mellor I am the dream of awakening. I am the returning of the night.  I am the tough green

WINTER SOLSTICE: A GIFT OF LOVE by Carolyn Riker

I’ve had several days now of alone time… It is unusual and a gift that I couldn’t see until I breathed it. I have been able to watch the sun’s rise through the grey of dawn and smile at the flickers of frost melting on the waving boughs of evergreen. It’s unique to follow daylight as it traverses the tempo of a cat’s soft slumbering purr. Night comes swifter and the glow of candles and the flames of fire comfort me more than the steady stream of always-doing-more. As much as I resisted, I needed this break. I had no idea how much my body was trying to tell me   slow down   until the exhaustion settled in around my joints. My eyes swam in molasses. Heaviness of I-can’t-hold-out-much-long, walked me to the throne of my nest. It’s winter’s gift of self-nurturing and love. It’s been a quiet proclamation of femininity and a need for comfort foods. Lemon crisps and cranberry, white-chocolate shortbread dipped in tea; I felt a hint of being pampered without
