Strength In The Walk
by Celestine on Mar.25, 2010, under Poetic Moments
Strong enough to walk beside you
It is there, that we are balanced.
Strong enough to follow you
For I honor your lead.
Strong enough to bear your burdens
I am there to lend my shoulder.
Strong enough to say carry me
For I may need to be cuddled for a mile.

Mornings, Mist, and Futures
by Celestine on Feb.21, 2010, under Poetic Moments
On a beautiful morning
The veils are lifted
The rising sun glares
Through the trees
The crispness of the fall felt in the air
Commanding our attention
As the mist rises from the water
It creates its presence
Void of waves
Only peaceful waters and the mist
Sending a message
To the on-going flow of man
And in our man, woman, and child existence
A backdrop is created for our future
There is a gentle, sunlit rising to our approach to life
For the mist will rise of its own accord
And will evaporate as if it never existed
The sun will shine through its haze
Following a natural pattern of mornings, mist, and futures.

The Venerations of Womanhood
by Celestine on Feb.06, 2010, under Poetic Moments
Sense the pulse and full splendor of womanhood
Anointed of grace
Sometimes wearing entrapment like adornments
Hearts full of special places
Awaiting to be filled, refilled, refined, re-defined
Aligning with the woman within
Draped in the pureness of love
Draped like universal deities on our seemingly frail, yet strong bodies
Inherent to our spirit, we birth songs of pain
Strengths of nations yoke us
For we are the vessel of man
Never marred
Natures’ marvels, embedded in our souls
Gentle and sometimes torrent
A bird’s chirp
A spring rain
The crackling bolt of lightening
The roar of thunder
Knowing that in seasons, torrents will subside
Knowing that in seasons, peace in womanhood
will reign forever as treasured adornments.

Serenity and Dreams of Our Light
by Celestine on Jan.30, 2010, under Poetic Moments
Pillars of light
Standing side by side
Blending with the light of the world
Creating blended lights within blended existences
No boundaries – no parameters
Just light, two lights, blending into one.
Side by side, amongst many lights.
Subtleties of the wind, like their flickering paths
Sometimes causing a shift
Sometimes wreaking a havoc
Always bringing peace when it subsides.
Serenity that is as strong as the light
Serenity that is as strong as the collective glow
A single light standing strong for
Serene dreams of the perfection of two.
Dreams of possibilities
Aloft as to where the lights shall shine
The wind blows
Another horizon, a safe place
The creation of other dimensions
Defined, refined, or re-defined.
Serenity that is as strong as the light
Serenity that is as strong as the collective glow
A single light standing strong for
Serene dreams of the perfection of two.
Some lights smolder
Engulfed by illusory beams
Trying to find the path to the true light
Of one, destined to be two.
Serenity that is as strong as the light
Serenity that is as strong as the collective glow
A single light standing strong for
Serene dreams of the perfection of two.
And when the foundations are truly shaped
Like rock and sand
Crystal clear becomes of the dreams of man
The meshing of the lights are invoked.
Serenity that is as strong as the light
Serenity that is as strong as the collective glow
A single light standing strong for
Serene dreams of the perfection of two.

Beckonings
by Celestine on Jan.24, 2010, under Poetic Moments
If I beckon to you a sunrise
It means that I feel our serenity.
If I beckon to you a sunset,
It means that I feel the comfort of
our eternities together.
If I beckon to you one star,
It shall be the brightest at its most northern point.
If I beckon to you my heart,
It will always beam of hope.
Beyond us, always perfecting our love
As us, always living our being together.
Beckoning two souls that have always been destined to be.
Strength In Nurturing
by Celestine on Jan.16, 2010, under Poetic Moments
What keeps us from taking that first step?
How does a child know when he is ready to walk?
How does a heart know when it is ready to love?
How does a soul know when it is ready to live?
Strength in nurturing
Is there a threshold?
Is there a common foundation?
Is there a safe haven?
Is there a sense of peace?
Strength in nurturing
Of the walk, it’s about nurturing.
Of the foundation, it’s about nurturing.
Of the peace, it’s about nurturing.
Strength in being and finding our place is about the nurturing.

Flowing Tears, Full Heart
by Celestine on Jan.15, 2010, under Poetic Moments
It rained for me last night
The emotions came as a wave, engulfing me
Bringing forth the need to overcome, move forward,
and go beyond the horizons; reaching for the setting and rising convergence.
As the tears crested, I braced the storm, only to let the tears flow like a mighty river.
I braced myself, the emotions turbulently held steadfast.
I held steadfast, the emotions quietly subsided.
Relenting, letting the flood flow
Releasing, as a breaking dam
Bringing peace.

Love Begets Love
by Celestine on Jan.12, 2010, under Poetic Moments
Eternal feelings,
Internal to the depth of external realities
From the source which nurtures.
Love begets love.
Eyeing, feeling, understanding
Being in the moment
The passion
The realities of that which can claim
the phrase coined love.
Yes, Love still begets love.
Is it defined in a bottle?
No, shatter that.
Is it defined in a lifestyle?
No, break those bounds.
Is it defined in a perception?
Open thine eye.
For love truly begets love; no boundaries.
Is it defined in a moment shared, an hour of knowing, and a lifetime of existing together?
Yes…….love begets shared love in varying contours of life.

The Utopian Gift – In Synch
by Celestine on Dec.30, 2009, under Poetic Moments
If I could
I would create Utopia
I would create synergy
I would create a world of peace.
Dialogue would be in synch
Souls would be in synch
Love would be in synch
The world would be in synch.
There would be no hidden agendas
Realities would be about embracing them
Life would be about living through it
Living would be about not losing ourselves in the process.
If I could, I would grant a gift to each of you
It would be to live to the extent of your being
Be the best that you can
Impact society in your own positive way
Share your gift with the world.
The reality is
I can’t give you the Utopian gift;
Only God,
If only you reach out
Embrace his love and
Understand His messages of
Life, living, and love.
Dialogue would be in synch
Souls would be in synch
Love would be in synch
The world would be in synch
The Utopian Gift of synchronicity
