The Wonder of Clouds
By Heather de Wit
Clouds are a thing of beauty
Mesmerizing, drawing you in
To a space of joy, of peace, of awe
A knowingness of sorts
Shape-shifting in every moment
Possibility lies here
Ever changing, just as life is
Unique in every form
Reflected on the ocean
Reflected on the shore
A space to play is found here
To lay, to fall, to ride
Shapes of sheer magnificence
Cushions of ultimate love
Soft places in abundance
Surely wonder opens channels ?

Forests of Fortitude
by Heather de Wit
Eyes cast up
And dizzy with awe
As I lay on a bed of nature
Great avenues of trees pull me in
The whistling wind speaks
I am held
By a force greater than I
A gentle breeze
The chirping birds
And nothingness
I become a tree - I am a tree
In all it’s majestic splendor
Just to be
Be a tree
A glorious notion indeed

Star Gazing
By Heather de Wit
Delight - a different sky awaits
Have you seen the stars tonight?
The Milky Way, Orion’s Belt
Which star calls my name tonight?
A kaleidoscope of mystery
Intrigue personified
What wisdom can you offer
Oh canvass of infinite beauty ?
Each star another planet ?
If so hello, who lives there ?
And do we look the same ?
Just for now I‘ll continue gazing
Which star belongs to me ?

I am not my shoes ...
by Heather de Wit
‘Fore I eat or pay them bills
Just gotta have them shoes
Hello shoes, do you have a name ?
How do you make me feel?
Bolder - greater - more than ?
Do you define who I really am ?
Rocked them in the 70’s
‘Fore I e’en knew my name
Now I know and I have a voice
And barefoot is my choice

Solitude
by Heather de Wit
Sitting in solitude
Looking for fortitude
About to give up
Till I looked up
Where many were seated
Looking lost and defeated
Each one has a question
Awaiting an answer
Expecting reaction
To prove they're a
something
What is each man
If not a hu-man
Looking to others
For some sort of emotion
To create an aura
Of some sought after
mystery …

Stop ... breathe ... listen ...
by Heather de Wit
For the silence
Inbetween ... the Words ... the lines ...
The crashing of the waves …
The whistling of the wind ...
The chirping of the birds ...
The barking of the dogs ...
The notes in the music ...
The phrases in the music ...
The humdrum that is everyday life ...
And
when you hear and feel it …
This, this essence of the present moment …
Surely then,
this is the Power of
Now …
And Now is all there is - Seize it !
