Cover of book dancing between tall grass

Ting ting Bang bang
Watch her do the can can

Dutty wine Two step
Play the music Watch her step

Congo drums String instruments
The music lives Inside her veins

Shack shack Tambourine
Limbo down To the xtreme

Let her dance She is in flow
Feel the music Let her go

#DancingBetweenTallGrass
#booksky

Black and white self portrait

I found my still voice
In the words that I write
The freedom long sought
When dark was the night

Now hear this spirit speak
In script loud and strong
My pen be my sword
My words be my tongue

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

A hand holding a book with an orange cover Dancing Between Tall Grass

Another year,
When the cold winds blow
Through cracks in the eaves and slips under the door,

She pulls worn blackets close
Envisioning true warmth
A lonely heart breaks
Lost Christmas in the storm.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass 📚

A long blossom of pinkish white flowers hanging from a tall tree.

I long for the days
when you loved me
as best you knew how

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

Book cover of Dancing Between Tall Grass. The image in silhouette of a young woman, armed raised dancing

Words,
scripted in ink of delicate anguish,
spoke of a child whose innocence was lost,
so terrible a cost,
two pounds of rice and all of her pride,
she hurried home with food for the family.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

her narcissist
returns from the dead
sweet jesus

#DancingBetweenTallGrass 📚

When you are dragged out of bed by the creative muses, to add a single white dot to your painting.
'There you go! That's much better,' they cheered.

A tall tree against a blue sky. The trunk is bent almost horizontal to the ground until it straightens and continues to grow

the illusory nature
of searching
for perfection

#DancingBetweenTallGrass 📚

Green leaves in a brown teacup to be brewed into herbal tea.

Cool raindrops
Plop, plop
As I hurried to my garden
In search of leaves for tea,
Lemongrass, eyebright and a bit of mint,
I felt the morning's smile
so I smiled right back.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass 📚

Fiery sun display over low hills. Shades of bright yellow against darkening clouds.

When you can look back at the past
realizing that the lessons were learnt,
the path to the future appears bright.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass 📚

A woman standing near the show looking off into a very calm bay. Small yachts are in a nearby marina.

Believing that everything I need is within me,
encourages me to dig deep.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass 📚

waiting,
as the energy builds
in anticipation
of the storm of an orgasm
nature roars,
seas churn and high wind blows
yes she knows,
of the calm that follows
the explosion.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

A small plane flying against a cloudy sky over farmlands

tiny,
against a vast sky
we fly as high
as we can

I want you back
but I'm not waiting for you to come back,
so when you are ready
to return to me,
know that I won't be
in the place
that you left me.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

An altered image of the sun in the sky presenting itself as a portal

The 7/7 portal is open,
it's time to manifest our greatest desires.

Me, it's happiness and love,
what's yours?

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

A self of me, smiling and happy

Back in the dating game again,
after a time of healing
that lead to more growth,
now the Universe and I
we are aligned
sweet joy catches in my throat

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

It's taken decades to learn the lesson I came here to learn,
that I was worthy of the love I desire,
after many fights with the fire,
getting burnt by the fire
I never retired,
but continued my search for the love I desire.

A shout out
To the new generation,
GenZers who want
vinyl records
and to read
from paperback books.

#GenZ
#DancingBetweenTallGrass

An altar of candles feathers stones and shells

Exploring those gifts,
unlocking deep mysteries
quietly stirring the pot

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

Dancing between tall grass book cover

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

You have to feel worthy of the love that is offered,
and I have to feel I deserve the love I desire,
unless this is done
this karmic bond
will go on and on
ad nauseum,

No one leaving
but no one happy,
these soul contracts
can cause real misery.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass 📚

Cleansing tears,
more effective than bleach.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

A sunflower growing between sticks and bramble

When you are not looking
for anyone to save you,
because you've learnt to save
yourself.

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

A selfie of me

In hermit mode
To heal and grow
The pain was real
It was not a show

But see me now
All lithe and light
I won the war
I conquered the night

#DancingBetweenTallGrass

I was afraid
To say what I needed
For fear of losing
The little I had,
As time passed with healing
Life took on new meaning,
My throat chakra opened
Fu*k it! I said what I said.
