Morning Glories

I posted this song a while back, it is one of my favorite piano pieces. But as I was listening to it this morning while gazing out my window at the rising sun, I received the words for this poem I have written below. The song really sets the feel for these words. This was a special and very real experience for me, and now I share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy and are blessed by the message. ~ Celeste ~

As the sun gently awakens on the horizon

warm golden tones of light begin to permeate

the blue black velvet of night sky

and slowly saturates all it touches

in a welcoming glow.

The thick white fog that appears is magical

resting its presence like a peaceful blanket

as it hovers over the field of clover.

A little flock of birds fly up through the fog

stirring it with a breeze from their little beating wings

causing gentle rolling billows of movement from within.

As the light of the sun fully breaks through

it is as a flaming jewel of perfect beauty shining in my eyes

perched against the bluing sky in all its power.

And as I gaze at the sight

it reflects this power back into my soul

so that I feel the flaming jewel rising

from deep down inside

dispensing its light into every curve and corner

finding and filling up all lonliness, darkness and despair

with its healing properties.

A tear escapes, then two or three

for I am one with this life force…

I am welcomed and received

just as I am,

accepted and even cherished in its presence.

It is not disgusted or dissapointed in what it has found

but delights to be here with me….

and I am captivated, and overwhelmed with love.

Its thunderous voice speaks so gently to my heart

and radiates warmth into every particle and fiber of my being

claiming me as its own

branding me with its mark of fire

cleansing me with its purity.

I sit in reverent awe and in still silence

as I receive and commune with this principality

and King of all life.

My heart overflows with the strength of joy and thanksgiving

as I am renewed by this light of love

and made whole on this most beautiful of mornings.

I feel confident and empowered

to let the light shine out from within

in all its perfection

through all of my imperfections…..

and so I am made perfect in my imperfections

as I allow it to remain

allow it to be just what it is

all it was meant to be, through me….

This sun in my sky, now

the sun in my heart.

Why?

As I was listening to this beautiful song this morning, the inspiration and the words came to me for this poem I have written below. Hope you enjoy.

Peering up from where I am

I stare into a night sky

So many questions I have inside

So many questions for the reasons why.

Why in my darkest hour

and in my greatest time of need

does my hope and courage fail me

does faith not my heart lead?

Why should so many souls be suffering

with such beauty all around?

Why do the warmest of hearts grow cold,

why can no compassion be found?

Why loneliness, sadness and tribulation

are the greatest teachers of all,

why in order to truly learn

the lessons must be hard.

Why the young grow old and turn to dust

life given to us and taken away

Why the dream of eternal youth

flees farther and farther each day.

Why true love’s kiss upon our brow

turns it’s back on us in disdain

Why promises are broken, what was now no more,

Our souls torn apart in torment and pain?

Oh give me just one reason why

and give me a glimmer of truth

whisper a lifetime of love in my ear

restoring what was mine in youth.

The days and the hours keep passing by

ebbing, flowing with the tide

but I will not from you drop my eyes

will not from you my fears hide.

I choose to be a reason for hope

be all my eyes behold in the skies

I choose to be an answer of love

to a world hurting and wondering why.

~ Celeste ~

Let all the answers to even our hardest questions be love, leaving no room for anything else to remain. ~ Celeste ~

The Life and Rebirth of the Eagle

About a year ago, my brother sent me this story via email. And today I just stumbled across it again on youtube, where it has been set to a lovely video with beautiful music.

This is the real , heart wrenching and inspirational story of the magnificent Eagle. This knowledge was new to me, and I cried when I first read it because it touched my heart so deeply. Their story symbolizes the choices, changes and pains we experience in our own lives, and there is something for all of us to learn from it. I believe nature speaks to everyone if we take time to listen to her voice.

And her voice through the life of this creature speaks loud and clear. As you watch and listen, I hope you will be as encouraged and blessed by it as much as I am. Enjoy. :)

This is an extraordinarily beautiful piano piece. One of my favorites.
