Testing

posted by K Carter Steeves:July 2010
To my friend Marilyn: may GOD bless you and keep you forever in the hollow of his hands.

The test of Gold is fire
The test of truth is time
The test of Gods Love are the heavens above
and every thing sublime
Treasures in life are many
Dreams realized are few
I know the test of GODS goodness is true because he gave me a friend like you.

Loves guide

posted by K Carter Steeves

When you suffer a mortal wound
"Be still" and give the assailant room
feel your deep mind unravel the map
step lightly into the sacred path.
Loves ways say I Pray for you
dear sister sweet and true
is what is real a love so strong
It guides your path to GOD
What can ever be missing or wrong

One day you awaken with empathy in your heart
you practise aim and control
A new opening begins a whole new start  by kathleen carter steeves

A better Resurrection

posted by K Carter Steeves
I have no wit, no words no tears,
My heart within me like a stone
Is numbed to much for hopes or fears
Look right look left I dwell alone
I lift mine eyes ,but dimmed with grief
No everlasting hills I see
My life is like a falling leaf
O Jesus come and quicken me

My life is like a faded leaf
My harvest dwindled to a husk
Truly my life is void and brief
And tedious in the barren dusk
My life is ike a frozen thing
No bud no greenness can I see
My life is like a broken bowl
A broken bowl that cannot hold
One drop of water for my soul
Or cordial in the search and cold
cast in the fire a perishd thing
melt and remould it till it be
a Royale cup for him my king
O jesus come and drink of me          Cristina Rossetti   1800's

lost

posted by K Carter Steeves
when you fill your time and mind with poluted history of wars,violence and crime
you dont beleive anyone can love you

I want to lash out

you are a fool

When you spend your sweet energy on TV and loud unforcing music you stay ignorant

I want to lash out

You are a fool

But there is a small place in your heart connected to the Universal Loveing movement
a oneness with all that is may you find it may you scream with it! run with it! come alive "with it"
You are greatness!

The art

posted by K Carter Steeves
The art of story telling,poems and song has long been with me perhaps even from another time.My poems are usually based into nature, animals trees,roads,sky mountians etc.Sometimes I like to remember or release another experience of intensity in my life or lives.They move in and out of a more philosophical depth and usually targeted at a transition we were walking through.they do bring great clarity to me and may seem like grave confusion to the listener.Sometimes a metaphore is merely a momentary stay against confusion but it works!

There was a time when my husband went into the wheelchair and in my grief for i felt like his life had ended( it had not!)I remember seeing him walk every day i remember the last time i witnessed his feet moving on the earth, or the floor I should say.It was 6 a.m. he was leaving the bathroom and the light outsode the door was on and his feet caught in my minds eye as he passed our bedroom door to leave the house.Precious moment!!!captured here in my soulfulness.
From upon my lids
rise the darkness of your kisses
From upon my face
the shadow of your smile
from upon my soul
the lightness of your step walks away the road no more.

In Spirit We Walk

posted by K Carter Steeves

Holding hands, head to the Great Spirit of all creation we stand as our Spirit Guide says a prayer for procetion and Unity.Its 5a.m. July.Three women and a boy.We will walk 98 kl ms,living on the land sleeping in the old ways for nine days.The purpose is to bring healing to the spirit of the land the spirit of the peoples passed over from another gone time.It was called the walk for "FIRE"
It was a troubled time in my life and I remember thinking for a split second am I supposed to be here.Then as if being swept gently into another time and place of sacredness began to move my feet.One dreary step at a time.It was not easy to stay in the now the moment the end seemed so far away the past was all confused into the future.Walk and concentrate on the moment.No speaking we were in a vow of silence.The day passed.
I'm not an authority on any traditions of any peoples this is just one woman's story of healing expansion and renewal.
I felt like I was peering into the most of sacred places in my mind, my soul my body.The trees were so silent.The sky so very apparent so there.So in my face! no roof no shelter.We ate light we ate often we drank often,we shared,we smiled,we laughed,we walked and walked and walked like there was no end in sight.Each night we sat up or tents in the woods just off the roads.Sometimes we would follow the red handkerchiefs left for us.Mystery followed our every step our every breath.You can hear each other breath when you walk in the forest.Questions came answers came then after about three days nothing came nothing went just simple serenity.
Sky poured rain yet fire had to bring our supper to life.Wood was offered by a neighbor! We had everything we needed and more.A tree fell, another tree fell, we witnessed the clear cutting of a small forest plot; all happening around us yet we were safe, as we emerged out of our tents a rabbit ran by out off a cliff.Horror was all around us we were serene.We witnessed it all.

I have been honored to travel the earth and pray with sisters from the Inuit, American Indian,Greek,Barbadian,East Indian and Northern Europeans and the one small gift I am most thankful for is a still joy in my heart and soul.A finely lite warmth that runs up over and around me consistently.
One day a clove of garlic jumped out of my hand and into  tea cup and we laughed to tears!!laughed at the simple movement of the slipperyness in the garlic the timing the allness of the humor coming into tour souls in Unity!!lol
I received a most beautiful gift from this offering of simplicity.JOY!
Thankyou my sisters may you walk in Spirit always and Beauty

Ponderings and happy dish raggs

posted by K Carter Steeves
Its been a time of writting, thinking,deeply into my soul
Its been a time of praying saying the very truths that make one whole
Its been a time of rising,a time of blossoming into the new
a time of renewal, a time of welcome
a time of springing up a time of diddle-dee-doo!!

Trees

posted by K Carter Steeves

Do the trees always look so academic in their dark black suits against the lite grey sky?
Do they sway with choreographed intelligence, out over creation from a rooted sway?
Do the trees always carry such import?
Is there message one of strength
Swaying strongish ,trusting, in ancient clusters
on ground over which we lay

Proud of their green moss
Proud snaked turned backs, bare branches swaying, softly, erotically,
to and froe, standing close
swaying lakey clusters lay rooted
lay by the lake stark, dark, bright grey!

Jewels

posted by K Carter Steeves

Sitting still before the fire
in renewal my old friend,
sting after sting his looks
their words delivers into my mind
which god now brings.

Here I sit before the fire with laughter driven from my face
the mountians upon this ball
will remember the the ring, the floe away from the sting!
Turn youer mind to heavens movement
Where we danced the angels sing!

Pathetic

posted by K Carter Steeves
Two girls growing not in each others sight
two girls hurled by religious poision out into the dead of night
two girls left with tattered dresses torn
Two blocked and blathered
Pricks cast like steel
While little pricks were morned

I must have choosen well
the final tar where I sat
beside him cloaked in the pink light of love
upon me we hurrled all the beasts away
with the riving of our bodies
hot with passion delighted in the secret
thrown a lash from the stars
a life is born a life began
take back your slurrs you bastards
take back the deep mornful place
For in my heart is not unrest
for in my heart is all vitality
for within my hearts stay is all for given
two girls blocked and blaggered
One in heaven one sitting here still beside the lake.

To What did I lose You

To what did I lose you?
when thet so called friend wrote that letter and I realized you were in jail---again! Itr was a very differen kind of realization, a mirror in me cracked and I felt a sorrow in me so deep my heart began to break my mind began to heal i began to know what is real what is true.
To what did I lose you my age? your helplessness
as you lay in my arms dying no one wanted to move with us! no one
He did he drove the car that saved your life! old Nelson
Neenie died the last of the old Nelson crew who cared
then you were in jail again and there was no one in who i could confide who knew to what Id lost you
the old dowagers the old hypocrites
dogma chaffed,froze,chaffed away any love  in our minds
Yet I am yours and you are mine my son!!
Perhaps you can feel how free I've become and so we can now share a cup of tea sometime
To hell with them all
Smile for the sun smile for the chair under your arse!!
Walk tall for the legs you own are precious
Keep them on old leaves and green mosses!
