Faeries in My Heart

posted by K Carter Steeves
You've placed  Faeries in my heart
would you could know how much I love
you may be the only one
my time here with you is like the setting sun
facing loves facing past
is it deep enough to last

Tis newly blossomed feeling opens
no promise of self  lost here
the seeds were ready to burst forth            seems lonely lonely lonely
yet you are oh so near
my heart unwinds
and oh so far away

In every way I pray to say what is real what is true
Spirit sacred bless the time I spend with you
For you have placed Faeries in my heart

Chocolate

Lying await in my cupboard

open cold flat here in my palm

a rich maestro of delight

gentle flowing earthy

filling my senses 

far from the dark cold night

chocolate my friend let me love thee

Joe's Song

posted by K Carter Steeves

Behind your staring eyes
There is a pathway to heaven
Dead loves that have
never died for you
still keep you here.

So let your heart unwind with me awhile
and let us watch the clouds go by together

Behind your eyes
There is a pathway to life
That tells you what you gave
Returns and what has died must be reborn

So let your heart unwind with me awhile
and let us watch the clouds go by together

Behind your eyes
A heart that is wild
With love is growing
Placed there by the keeper of the dawn
Nourished and betrayed, but opening still
To all you thought was wrong

So let your heart unwind with me awhile
and let us watch the clouds go by together.

Thought

Its one of those snowy late afternoons,forlorn with threats of deep snow coming in over the already white flanked lake.A deep wind is howling off over the winded waters,pelting south east.
I'm sipping my tea,curled into a fleece comforter while the fire blazes here into my gaze still missing my all to busy life in the big city. I'm not feeling any regrets about leaving I feel stronger and more confident its the proper way to go.A simpler life style more engaged in natural beauty is what I want.The rural life.
I simply felt a brighter shine somehow when all the glam of the city was around me.Adapting to the beauty here is a subtle internal shift that Yeats understood about the rural people of Ireland.Reading here now in front of the fire makes it all seem so clear.The joy I feel here is in my soul and will be here for eternity.This lake, fields, and sky light up a kind of confusion and flatness I feel at this time in my life.Aging can lack inspiration
Today in the threat of storm I write because I love to write,to keep alive my talent to write and practice my craft,to keep alive communication with the Universe.
I like to put pen to paper pencil to pages to see the lead flow out over the white page into letters and form words they are so important.I love to learn.I love to make the pictures come into being with words then furl off into the mind of another and to the Universal Oneness.
In the beginning was the word and the word was made flesh.As I sit here now this word/spirit is known in me.I am that I am.
Blessings

Weave me a basket

posted by K Carter Steeves

can you see the mirrors of my sin
your eyes say you are a friend
the way opens when we give all remember
there is greater than we     here
so gather near

can you weave me a basket to put my hope in?
We are healing the earth
set the world free
the only shackle here is past
be free, be free, be free

Schooling

posted by K Carter Steeves

Universities are trembling
Promoting commerical fame without end
From sentence to sentance  plod the minds of women and men

The fine content to snore
a grant, a foundation
a lamp,  drawer
Their dignity flicker out
lite waves billowing out to sea
Children leve not knowing
the mind of manageability
Trees are being slautered
like men of yore
arth's beauty changed, utterly poor
lessons gleaned through a blank gaze
Forests pitiless as the sun's craze
Schooling is ore for another year
My heart reveals this sad intimacey
This sacred time of yearning,learning
Here blossoms a daughter of poetry
This sacred time of living at University.

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

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

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

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!
