Reflections of the Light (From Day to Night)A Meditation of the Soul

Today brings what tomorrow cannot

The present moment

Yesterday forgot

Twilight

A morning moon

Amid the turquoise sky

Feelings of wonder

In a hushed lullaby

Find a quiet place to

Either sit or lie down

Making sure you are

comfortable

For we begin a journey

Together

Filled with color and light

Poetry and time

As we travel the road

To self- awareness

Awakening the soul

Embracing all change within

And with each beautiful breath

inhaled

Know the path home-

has always lead back to you

The sun greets the moon

With the promise of today

And all it will bring

Dawn

When you are ready

Slowly inhale

Allowing yourself this

Precious moment

In the stillness of what is

And what will be

In marveling at the

wonder

To simply breathe

Gently exhale

Feel yourself surrender

To the changing of the light

Knowing you too are changing

As you awaken with the day

See the colors in your mind

Remnants of steel gray

and lavender

Giving way to the dawn’s

Magenta and gold

A majestic canvas

Painted in colors of old

Awe inspiring magic

Enlightening our soul

Embrace their beauty

As you once again

Inhale… slow

Ever present

Into the sun’s

Warm shimmering rays

Now saffron and sienna

Let your heart guide

the way

A beacon in love

Exhale

Imagining

Rose colored clouds

Enfolded with care

While you soar like a dragon

Adrift on air

Mid-day (Noon)

Bring yourself back

To the present moment

To the breath

And the beating of

your heart

Notice any sensations

You may be feeling

Acknowledge them

Reveling in the stillness

and awareness once more

Allow the mind

To continue onward

Into the ever changing light

Finding hope in sunbeams

Peeking through billowy clouds of blue

Watch them dance with

Grace and ease

Casting shadows on leaves of green

As tiny raindrops begin to fall

Still present

You observe it all

A delicate sun shower

Illuminating a rainbow in flight

Be a rainbow in a world of blue…  illuminate the sky in wondrous hues

Dusk

Embers of amber

Ignite the sky

As sunset bids day goodbye

Again we pause

In self-awareness

Coming back always to the breath

To our being

To the quiet inside

For day is at end

And with it all worries and strides

Joys and sorrows

Intertwining into the moments

that were

Inhale deeply

Let them slip away

In the gentle bidding of day

For the path now leads to a white

sandy beach

Its touch cool beneath our feet

Beckoning us to lie upon it

We smell the saltwater

Hear the waves softly caress

a distant shore

Watch the last rays of sun

Disappear  ever more

beyond the horizon

As he awaits his lover-

the moon

To kiss in sweet adieu

Stay for a moment

Envisioning your world

Amid the space of dreams

Observing a dusky sky

Transform to beautiful ebony

In the blink of an eye

As sun whispers to the night

I’ll see you at twilight

Night

Moonlight peeks behind the clouds

To see stars beauty shine

Night has fallen

Tiny crystalline diamonds

Luminous

Fill a blackened sky

Moonlit clouds drift lazily by

Midnight  has come and gone

Still you lie

Upon the white sandy beach

Feeling the rhythm of your heart

Rise and fall

Accepting inner peace

Inhaling all

You gaze upon the moon

And wish upon the stars

With each breath of your being

You become one with their light

The very light you’ve sought

Always guiding

Always present

Knowing all the while

You… were once a star

And the colors of the sky

The tiny raindrops falling

The ocean tides

This awareness embodies your soul

Liberating

For you are the ebb and flow

Ever evolving

And with each exhale

You let go…

“Rest easy, moon whispers

tomorrow comes in the dawn’s first light”

Night falls to day

Surrendering his all

As day embraces night

In beauty and awe

And you bring yourself back

Once final time

To follow the light

Be it day… or night
