Poet GianMarie

Introverts yearning for peace & quiet 

Prefer the undisturbed space of alone time

Knowing in that singularity 

Exists an open door 

For mind to expand

For Spirit to explore

Unhindered by the worldly desire for more

Self-contained in this sacred space 

Introverts draw inward for reflection

Engaging in deeper introspection

Seeking & finding divine direction

Can we be alone, together?

Never needing

Yet receiving comfort

In the harmony of just being 

In tune with one another

Waking to perfect stillness 

Taking in the first light of early morn

Meditating in the space of something soft & warm

Gazing through the window at the snowstorm 

Watching white flurries 

Gently falling into a soft grey haze

Blurring the lines

Spontaneously shifting with the wind

They twirl left & right

Alone . . . Together

Time slows as we laugh & unwind 

Huddled arm in arm 

While day gives way to night

Watching the full moon rise in the painted sky

Listening to sparks pop as they fly

Away from the heat of glowing embers

Dancing in the center of stacked wood

Smoke curls rise into the brisk twilight

Inhale deeply to be greeted by

The sweet essence of dried herbs & burning cedar

Exhale releasing to the sky what cannot stay

With gratitude we bid farewell to another day

With clarity we are illuminated by light

With peace we welcome the spirit of night.
