183 dirty feet

I chose

to clamber

over

the beauty in my life.

No mere

Observer.

I chose

dirty feet,

grubby hands,

and a happy

heart.

182 mirror-mind 02

The parts of me

are

four.

I learn them

in the mirror of

your eyes.

I embrace them

in my darkness

and my wildness.

I grow them

in the light

of your smile.

Those parts of me

not parts

but all.

181 new country

It is only when

I

Venture

Past the edge

Of what I know

That I

Stand a chance

Of finding

A New Country

For my

Soul

180 soar

How many time a day

Do I surrender to the wind?

And allow

My spirit

To soar?

How many times a day

Do I play it safe?

And make

Myself

Small?

There is no honour

In denying

My eagle soul.

179 complete

Looking to the stars

I realise

I am complete.

The light I shine

illumines the answers

to the questions I have never asked.

178 imperatives

You never have to tell a tree

to grow,

You never have to tell a stream

to flow.

A bird never grows tired of 

singing,

A fish never tires of 

swimming.

Our planet revolves,

My spirit evolves.

Just the way it should.

177 seasons

As the seasons

bless the planet.

So do Cycles

bless my life.

Expansion, contraction,

Birth, growth, harvest, death.

Living in the present

I accept their gift and wisdom,

and yield to their flow.

176 ease

Some paths
flow smooth and clear,
untroubled by ripples or currents.

Others
are carved
through the
rocky hardness
that spirit serves up
to give us
a backbone.

175 mirror-mind 01

in balance

my mind

is a still mirror

which reflects

the light

of all that is

ãKim Magennis 2016

174 two-soul

This duality of me

dwells in

light and dark

good and bad

happy and sad

I surge and heave

in life and death

as my soul

crashes on empty shores.

173 island soul 02

Even in our

isolation

we are not alone.

The voices of a thousand thousand forbears

are written in our cells.

Their songs play out in our stories

in ways we cannot always comprehend.

Who we love

who we hate

What we choose to defend

All encoded

in ancient text in our blood and minds.

Kim Magennis 2016

172 child of light

The stuff

I am made of

comes from the stars.

This body

houses a constellation

of galaxies and universes

which pulse and shine.

Who am I

To play small

And diminsh their light?

How dare I

Trivialise

Their unique expression

In me?

171 earthfire

In the secret depths of our Mother

a violent, passion is birthed.

Creative and destructive,

it breeches Her defences

and burns in its brilliance.

A crucible for potent alchemy

She blends and moulds

That which only appears

Immutable.

From the fires of her soul

She breathes

Vibrant life

Into Her Creation.

170 stardust

The music of the stars

pulses in my veins.

A galaxy lights up in

the neurons in my brain.

I am made for more

than

I have ever dreamed

My destiny

is limited only by

My imagination.

169 illumination

In the darkness of solitude

My soul

Is lit

Only from within.

In

Sweet moonlit love,

I reflect back

Your gifts

Of

Presence and awareness.

Amplified, refined, purified.

Together

Much more

Than

One and one.

ãKim Magennis 2016

168 tumultuous

Emotion

Churns and foams

Into

Quieter depths.

Blessing with life

Carving with force.

Making something different

Of all that I am.

167 indurate

Life calls from me

What it takes to survive.

I can effortlessly flow

Into it

Or

I can resist, struggle and writhe.

What wisdom lies in using

The skills

Of a sunny beach

On an ice-wracked shore?

©Kim Magennis 2016

166 abundance

Gorgeous,

Vibrant,

My universe

Abounds with life.

And yet

In my darkest night

I forget.

And want and fear

Soak my mind and bones

Whilst

Butterflies

Dance in the sun
