Remember When….

 

IMG_0249Remember what it was like when you were little?

When there really was a man in the moon that listened to all your prayers and watched over you as you slept….

When you looked at frogs, bunnies, bugs and lizards as your friends who had their own home and families in the garden .. and how you just knew they understood every word you said even though you spoke different languages…

When a mound of dirt suddenly became the tallest mountain you would ever climb…. and how wonderful it felt when you reached the top!

When you would see a falling star and you closed your eyes as tight as can be and made a wish straight from your heart….

When bed sheets and blankets made the best secret club house ever!

What happened that you stop seeing the world like this?

It’s the same world ya know….

All you need to do to bring the magic back into your life .. is believe .. believe as you did back when .. with your whole heart and soul …

Really… that’s all it takes…

Remember yet?

Open your heart to love and you’ll begin to believe again ..

Just because you have grown taller doesn’t mean your adventures have come to an end …

Come on… take my hand .. I’ll walk with you for a while .. until your eyes are once again open and the magic is real and no longer just some words from a fairy tale…. come on.. what are you waiting for … let’s go!

“Your life is only as good as you allow it to be”

“Allow more”

Many Blessings,

I Am More Than Just Me

Taken with Lumia Selfie

I Am More Than Just Me

I’m not just me but also the flower, the nectar and the bee…

I’m the stream that travels around the bend .. I’m the river with no end

I’m a new born fawn on unsteady feet, I’m the mushroom that’s now a toads comfy seat

I’m the wind and the rain, I’m the woodpecker and the crane

I’m more than just me, I’m the dolphin playing in the sea

I’m the bear, once asleep now awake, I’m every pond and every lake

I’m the branch on every tree, I’m the ocean and the sea

I’m the grass, the weeds, the flower and the seeds

I’m the mountain, I’m the grove… I’m the reef in every cove

I’m the forest and the dale …. I’m the cry of the hump back whale

I’m far more than just one, I’m a part of it all

I’m more than the raven, more than its call

I’m not just one, I’m a part of it all

Many Blessings,

Let Me Be….

cades cove 5
Let Me Be…

Think of me in a kind and loving way
Feel my heart in the words that I say

Let me be more than some romantic notion
Recite me like the ingredients of a spellbound potion

Allow my hands to help you heal
Know that my love for you is real

Remember the twinkle in my eyes that let you know
That you are the one who makes the light inside me glow

Chant me like a sacred song
Love me as forever is long

Know me inside and out
Hold me in your heart without any fear, without any doubt

Let me be your muse, I’ll share with you my magic light
Hold me close, everyday and every night

Love me in a true and honest fashion
I’ll give to you my devoted love and passion

I want to be the poetry that lies within your soul
I’ll be the greatest love you’ll ever know

Let me be the rain that quenches your thirst
The one you wake and think of first

Lull me like a magic rhyme
You’ll see how our love will withstand the test of time

Cast me like your most cherished wish to stars above
I’ll promise you forever my love

Let me be your most fond memory
I give to you my heart and all that is me.

Many Blessings,

Where is the wisdom?

>
Where is the wisdom?

It is in every drop of rain… every ounce of pain.

It is in every laugh, every giggle .. it’s even in the inch worms wiggle.

It is in every breeze … it comes and goes with ease.

It is every blade of grass, in every day that has come to pass.

It is in the tears and collected through the years.

It is in every animal, every being… it’s in everything, even those that are not seen.

It is in the silence and in the words, and carried on the wings of every bird.

It is in the wind, the earth, the water and the flame… and is known by many a name.

It is in the heart and in the soul.. is more than what you learn, its what you already know.

Where is it?

Where is the wisdom?

It’s in the air and below your feet … it’s sometimes a trick and sometimes a real treat!

It’s whats said and whats left to guess … it’s even in every jest.

It is more than an action, more than a word… its even sometimes quite absurd!

It’s kind and its cruel… an can turn the smartest of men into a fool.

Where is is? You want to know….

It’s here, there and everywhere you go….

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

A Facebook Christmas

facebookchristmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the land of Facebook
Not a creature was stirring, not even a spammer or a crook;

The statuses were posted on the wall for all to see,
In hopes that a friend or two would reply… ok maybe three;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of “what presents will I get” danced in their heads;

Me in my pj’s just about ready to call it a night
Not a Facebook friend in sight,

When out of the blue a notice appeared before my eyes,
I sprang to attention to see what and who has replied.

I opened a new window like a flash,
So the game I was playing wouldn’t crash.

The moon through the window casting a magical glow
Gave the lustre of gold to this addiction we all know,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Friends popping up online everywhere!,

With a little click of the mouse, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment this Facebook addiction was sick.

More rapid than eagles it courses through my veins,
It beckons and calls out my name;

“Now, Bear! now, WolfDancer! now, Christy, Ruth and Pattie!
Ahhhhh, without my online friends I’d be even more batty!

To the top of the page! to the top of the wall!
Here’s a brand new status for you all

I’m waving hello .. can’t you see
Ok then, here’s a new profile picture of me

So to all my friends, I send a message or two,
Sending love and blessings for a Year brand new.

And then, in a twinkling, I send out a little rhyme
Thank you all for being my friends here at Christmas time!

As I sat in my chair and was turning around,
The hubby stood there shaking his head and making not a sound

He was dressed in his pjs and ready for bed,
And stood there just shaking his head;

He said let’s go – its time to hit the sack,
I said ok love, and to my friends on Facebook I left a brb (be right back)

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
I followed him quickly to bed

To all my friends I finish this rhyme I write
With a “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

When Our Season Comes …

 

 

 

When Our Season Comes …

Summer now gone, winter is approaching fast
As the October wind comes blowing by
I stand in awe beneath the light, the moon does cast
And with a deep breath I let out a heavy sigh.

No time to stop … no time to rest
All we can do .. is our very best
The years keep coming and rolling past
The clock keeps ticking and time is flying by so fast

We look in the mirror and can’t believe our eyes
There’s no hiding … everyone must know
The years, oh how they do show
It’s in our eyes and all over our face
Hoping to age with a bit of grace

Feel the chill upon the breeze
Dear Creator, allow us age with ease.
May our aches and pains be few
May we be reborn of love with each morning dew

Lessons have come and lessons have gone
Life is our path and we must march on
Written in our memories… the life we’ve lived
May the love and knowledge gained from our travels be the gift we give

The pages of our life we turn with our own hands
May the path before you be a new beginning with no dead ends

Wisdom, our harvest from seeds once sown
May love and kindness be for what we were known.
When our journey finally comes to a stop
We’ll meet again on the mountaintop.

Our life now a whisper upon the breeze
When it comes time to say goodbye, may we pass with ease
Please be kind and smile when you see a passing dove
For our soul will be soaring with the greatest love

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

One Thousand Times

Barred Owl

One Thousand Times

One thousand times I’ve been born
One thousand times I’ve died

The years have passed by like a soft whisper in the wind
Days and nights gone without my knowing

One thousand paths I have walked
One thousand lessons I have learned

Tears I have cried for so many reasons
Smiles, laughter and love have helped me make it through the seasons

One thousand rights
One thousand wrongs

Blessings and curses bestowed upon me
Love, the miracle that always brings me back to why I’m ME

One thousand ways
One thousand times

One thousand pairs of eyes
One thousand ways to see

One thousand lips to be kissed
One thousand people, wondering if ever they were missed

One thousand ways to go
One thousand reasons to live again

One thousand times ……

Being the Messenger

>Let me answer the questions that have been wandering through your head..
How is it I come up with the things I have said?

How do you see what you see?
With the inner eyes that Spirit has given me.

How do you hear what can’t be heard?
I quiet the noise and say not a word.

How does Spirit sound?
Like the wind, the rain, the sun, the moon and the ground.

How do you know these things are true?
I have faith, the question is, why don’t you?

What’s the key to help me see more?
Our mind is like a hallway of many doors…

No locks, even though closed they may be
Just reach out and turn the knob – that’s the key!

Open them wide and release your fear
Soon, you’ll see and even hear

Empty your heart of all anger and distrust
To walk this way, it is a must!

Let go, stop trying to control

Let yourself be guided, taken by the hand
Soon you’ll be floating with Spirit across the land

Visions will fill the eyes you didn’t know were there
It’s not a secret… everyone has two pair!

Forget what you thought you knew
Just let it come to you.

And now with a smile and a wink, you know what to do
Blessings for the beginning of a whole new view!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

I Must Write!

>
The moon is growing full and the shadows dance softly across the wall…
Spirit speaks to me and I must answer the call

So, I write

I have tell you the words forming in my head
They swirl around like a whirlwind of Autumn leaves caught in the wind
Chasing after one another with no beginning and no end

and so, I write

My heart beats loudly, as if it is my own sacred drum
It’s hypnotic… like a transic thunder
I know this must sound crazy to some

But, I must write

The words, they come always in some sort of rhyme
I try to keep the words from matching
But they always end up sounding the same every time

and I continue to write

The words… what do they mean…is there really a story to be told
I often wonder what its all about
Wondering if answers will come when I’m grey and old

Spirit speaks … whispers in my ear

and so, I write

The animals have a voice
They not only speak, but also sing and call
If you can’t hear what they are saying, then that is your choice

and I write

Listen carefully.. its beyond the words that you hear
You say you have no clue what I’m saying
I say, let loose your fear

and I keep on writing

Hoping one day that you’ll know
You’ll get it, you’ll hear
You’ll have that moment when the world stops and you’ll shout WHOA!

and I’ll still be writing

Relaying messages from places of great mystery
Especially when the veil is thinning
That’s when the spirits past say, “Oh wow… she can hear me!”

and I write

So that thier messages can make it through
So their voices can still be heard
This is how it works.. through me – straight to you

So, I must write

This is the way it will be until my end
When I lay upon the the grass and close my eyes
With one last rhyme to send

I’ll write

Hold not onto fear
Caress dearly all that you love
That sound in the distance – that song in the wind
Remember, thats the Raven’s call that you hear!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

What Do You See?

>
What do you see?

Do you see the love I hold deep in my heart?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the pain from a broken past?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see a mysterious knowing?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the child that lives and plays within?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the longing for love’s embrace?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see fear manifesting from places untouched?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see a stir of creativity?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the stories I have lived?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the quiet that only comes with age?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the daring for adventure and life?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see compassion and faith?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the struggle and the fight?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the love and the light?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see my heart and how it beats?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you sadness and wonder from where it comes?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the road I’ve traveled?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the wonders yet to come?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see my spirit and how it likes to play?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see the smile?
When you look into my eyes…

Do you see me?
When you look into my eyes

What do you see?

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

October Breeze


October Breeze

Coming in quick .. quite like a sneeze
Bringing with it cold winds and colorful leaves

Days and nights with a chill in the air
Children dressing up to cause a scare!

Candy corn, caramel apples and spiced cider
Decorating with the web of a spider

A stirring comes from beyond the veil
The haunting sound of a wolf’s distant wail

A warm fire crackling in the night
Visions awakening the second sight

Frost soon covers the ground
The Earth begins to sleep and quiets its sound

Burrows and winter beds all being prepared
Now don’t you worry, don’t be scared.

Those sounds you hear in the night
Disappear with the morning light.

October breeze, what’s that you bring?
A mystic kind of feeling!

The song of a raven’s call…
The magical wonders of Fall.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Beneath the October Moon

IMG_6779

Beneath the October Moon.. what’s that I see
Strange and exciting things have come to be

Once unseen, now visible to the eye
Witches, goblins and spirits.. Oh My!

What are they doing, why are they there
Have they come to cause a fright… a great big scare!

Up on their broomsticks and soaring through the sky
The year is now turning and the leaves are beginning to die.

Red, yellow, brown and gold
The days grow short as the nights grow cold

Be thankful now for the harvest reaped
Who’s that stepping through the veil to take a peek?

Those once here but now passed away
Have come over to say hello as they go on their way

Candles are lit for a safe passage through
Don’t worry , only silly ghosts say BOO!

From here to the other side they shall pass
The year has flown by way too fast

Hug the ones you love and hold them tight
Keep them in your prayers and thoughts each and every night

Life is short, you never know when it may end
Many blessings for peace and love I now send.

From my heart these words now pass from me to you
May Blessings fall upon you and all your wishes and dreams come true!

Raventalker

Let Me Be Forever Yours

Let me be your rain….
I’ll wash away your worries, your fear, your pain.

Let me be your sun…
I’ll light your days and warm you as the nights grow cold.

Let me be the wind…
And I’ll carry your wishes to heaven so that they may be heard.

Let me be your moon..
I’ll be the light in your darkest hours.

Let me be a soft whisper…..
So that my words may linger in your ears.

Let me be your eyes…
So that I may be in your every vision.

Let me be your hands…
For I willl always be within your reach.

Let me be your heart…
So that I will know the source of your love.

Let me be forever yours…
So that I may spend the rest of my days loving you.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Magical Moon

IMG_6779

A little something I jotted down last night before going to bed…

Magical Moon

Magical Moon with a light so bright
Watch over us all and protect us through the night

When you’re large and full of grace
Even when we can barely see your face

We know you are always there
Your magic fills the air

Waning and waxing as the nights come and go
Feeling that mystic tug and tow

Abundance and blessings you give without take
Please accept these prayers we now make

Our words we send to thee with love
We cast them to you and the heavens above

Magical Moon in the night
Thank you for the dreams, the visions, the second sight

A blessing at the end of each day
You light the darkness in a loving and magical way

Carrying with you the secrets from ancient times gone by
Your presence is felt beneath the starry night sky

Magical Moon thank you for your love, thank you for your light
Thank you for watching over us every single night.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

A message in the Raven’s Call

>The Summer breeze has cooled and signs of Autumn fill the air
Spirit has brought me a message I must share

On the night when the moon was new
Spirit brings love and blessings for me and you

The days grow shorter and the nights ever so long
Listen close and you shall hear your soul sing its song

The answers you seek are not so hard to find
It all becomes clear when you quiet the mind

It doesn’t matter where we are along our path, our own sacred road
It only matters our walk along the way, this is what I’m told

Connect to each other we are
No matter how near, no matter how far

Spirit whispers in my ear
You are not alone, there is nothing to fear

You have what it takes to make it to the end
Open your arms and feel Creator’s embrace upon the sacred wind

Don’t hold back, be who you were born to be
The mysteries shall unfold and you will see

The time is coming, an awaking is near
Spirit is speaking… can you hear

Through you, a stranger, a friend or even me
The messages are there and clear as can be

You must open your eyes and listen with your heart
In this walk we share, we all play a very important part

Not sure of your particular role?
Don’t worry, it’s all there written in your soul

The messages may come by way of wolf, bear, tiger or even by way of a raven’s wing
No matter from which it comes, the message is from a place of love that we bring

Now close your eyes and count to three
I send blessings to the ancestors and thee

With honor and love .. thank Creator for this time
Allowing me to share a message with you in rhyme

To the grandmothers and grandfathers of all the nations, I pray and ask for blessings for us all
And thank them for hearing this raven’s call.

with love and honor, aho

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

No Time To Sleep

>
Feeling like I’m in a bit of a trance
The visions are coming … they wanna dance

Skipping and hopping all through my head
As I lay .. tossing and turning in my bed

The air… soon to turn from warm to cold
I’ve got stories … yet to be told

More chapters to add to my book
I close my eyes for a peek.. a quick little look

What’s that whisper Spirit speaks in my ear
There’s still work to be done.. get ready my dear

Oh great, there’s lots more to do
Sorry, it’s a secret and I can’t yet tell you

Looks like I’ll be working beneath both the moon and the sun
I’ll be working til it all gets done

No time to rest
I have to do my very best

Staying on top of my game
Afterall .. Raventalker IS my name!

These visions that come in the night
They show me the way, the path thats right

Obstacles to overcome and hurdles to leap
They show me the way, while I sleep

Like the Autumn breeze
The visions dance through my head with ease

Here they come.. I’ve got to go
It’s time for a another late night show!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

If I could share….

WP_20140715_013
If I could share with you a bit of me I would ask you to take hold my hand and let go

Let go, not of my hand .. but of all else .. so that you can experience what’s inside me

Holding my hand you would know my pain and that I hurt just as you, when things go wrong

You would know my love and how its always growing

You would know my tears an what gets them flowing

You would know my passion and the roar of its fire

You would know my song without hearing it sung outloud

You would know my heart and what makes it melt

You would know my touch.. both gentle and strong

You would know my faith and the strength of my will

You would know me just by holding my hand and standing still

You would know my faults, my failures and my sad regrets

You would know me and all my secrets

You would know not just what you see but those things that don’t always show

You would know me … just by holding my hand and letting go.

Many Blessings,

The Promise by Ha-gue-A-Dees-Sas


Today I would like to share with you a poem by Stan Hughes aka Ha-Gue-A-Dees-Sas, from his book Medicine Seeker

The Promise

My child.. This advice you must heed.
Please never take more than you need.

Promise to do these things I say,

I’ll care for you in every way.

In Spring… I’ll make the grasses grow.

I’ll sing to call the Buffalo.
As Summer walks the waking lands,

I’ll pull the Roots with my own hands.

Red Berries sweet will paint the Fall.
The Deer will answer to my call.

When Winter comes, it will be mild.

These things I promise you, My Child.

Choose NOT to honor my request

You’ll always wander in your quest.

Seeking, not finding your true home.

Lost nomads, empty and alone.

Ha-Gue-A-Dees-Sas

You see what Stan says in his poem is that it is not enough to say you are on the right path… but to actually walk the walk of that path. You must have honor not only for mankind but for the Earth and it’s entire contents and that incudes honor for yourself as well. With everything we do we must do it with love and honor and respect. It is not enough to just say what we believe .. we must live what we believe and we must do that every day .. not just for an hour or two on Sundays and maybe Wednesday nights for an hour.

Many Blessings,

Raventalker

In the Darkness of the New Moon

>
In the Darkness of the New Moon

In the darkness of the New moon I fly about to see what there is to see…
There is no light and no shadows to chase me..

Flying about the void, this darkened space…
I let go my worries as the wind blows across my face..

My fears aside I look at starting something new…..
And as I look within, to myself I must stay true…..

Blessed be the tasks I begin this night …
May they be in bloom by the Moon’s next full light…

Fear not the darkness of the New Moon…
Tis the time for new beginnings and to get yourself back in tune..

As I fly away on the currents this night when the moon in new…
I begin my tasks and send out prayers and wishes of dreams coming true…

Blessing to every man, woman, child and friend….
May you find happiness, love and riches of the heart…..
And may your dreaming never ever end!

Raventalker

Have You Heard?

butterfly

Have You Heard …

Have you heard the whispers upon the wind ?
The story of the butterfly and its romance with the breeze…
How it glides on love with beauty and ease?

Have you heard the whispers from within?
The call that pulls and steers you along your path…

Have you heard the whispers from ancient times?
The voices that ring of truth and healing…
Have you heard the whispers … do you know that feeling?

Have you heard the whispers from distant places?
That knowing … that place inside you that keeps on growing?

Have you heard the whispers of the land?
Mother Earth speaking …
And with every chance… lending a helping hand?

Have you heard the whispers in the night?
The dreams.. the visions… that come from not from the eyes but some
other kind of sight?

Have yo heard the whispers the animals speak?
Guiding you along the way ..
Can you hear them and the messages they wish to relay?

Have you heard the whispers from the great beyond?
Words.. warm and full of support from the heavens above
Have you heard the whispers and felt the love?

Have you heard the whispers today?

Have you ?

Have you heard?

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

I am Raventalker

I am Raventalker.. keeper of the ways of old and ancient times.. hear my call as it echos through the distant chimes

I am Raventalker … blending with the night .. carrying with me a sacred kind of light

I am Raventalker .. perched upon a limb .. forever watching and recording life’s mysteries… come sit and listen as I tell my stories

I am Raventalker .. guardian of the mystic void..

I am Raventalker…. with words of rhyme I send to thee.. magick filled with love .. flying through the air or perched in a tree.

I am Raventalker.. with eyes of green I see beyond the veil.. into the many worlds that are and are not seen.

I am Raventalker … silent as the night when need be.. but often speaking of the ancient ways to anyone who wishes to learn and hear me.

I am Raventalker .. here my call.. I’ll speak of truth and knowledge … a wisdom from times gone by… listen.. for I am Raventalker now and forever til the day I die.

Many Blessings,

As the Raven Dreams

>As the Raven Dreams

My mind wanders and I drift into dream
Letting go of the hurt and pain that makes me want to scream

I imagine myself wrapped within a golden light
Safe from all that may harm through out the day and even the night

Drifting along upon a raven’s wing
I am calmed by the song of magick my soul does sing

A song of mystery from ancient times
Listen close and you too shall hear as the wind blows through the distant chimes

The Spirit knows and the Spirit does see
The secrets are gathered and placed safely inside me

From the Earth, the moon the sun and the stars
The magick flows, held back by neither stone wall nor bars

Like the river, I flow with the current of magick’s light
As one with all.. morning, noon and night

Feel me with nothing less than perfect trust and perfect love
Feel me as I pass by you and the moon above

Know me and know my heart
Know my love, my magick and my every part

Know the mysteries and the secrets I tell
Know the wonders of life and how it began
When from the heavens a princess fell

Know my words and hear them as true
Know my love, I give it freely, I give it to you.

Raventalker
