A Fire That Cannot Be Ignored
A fire that cannot be ignored;
The flame in your eye
burns through the sham...
Creating patterns out of chaos,
cooled by spring water
but never extinguished.
Your pomegranate eye
cradles the seed of darkness
until it bursts with light.

Healing Felt Collages and Wooden Plaques made by the awe-inspiring women in the Healing Arts Circle at the Center for Wisdom's Women. The gorgeous felt was generously donated by Khaila Noel's Grandmother, Cyndi Black. The felt collages express places of comfort and the journey to get to these places. The wooden plaques express inclusion of the whole self: body, heart, soul, mind and spirit.
Something to love
In each moment...
there is something to love
When the wind lifts your feathers
When there is lichen
to dig your claws into
In each moment...
there is something to love
When you see Great Crested Fly Catchers
building a nest
or a White Egret stretched out in flight
In each moment...
there is something to love

For Rob
Looking back
I find it touching that being 6' 4" tall
your favorite bird was a small songbird,
the black-capped chickadee.
You loved babies and songbirds.
You loved playing with your baby daughter
and then baby granddaughter in your pool.
You introduced me to classical music,
my favorite genre to this day.
As you looked out over your white collar
your gaze, far reaching, was much like this black-capped chickadee.

Baptism
Baptism by water
Big feet and little feet.
Parents at attention
Love bonding them to each downy chick...
Green grasses reflecting
bless their passage.
photopoem by akiba & maryam mermey
I wonder what you are feeling...
Are you feeling one with all of life...
Concerned about protecting your brood?
Is your Mother voice calling out?
What is the speck beneath your eye?
Are the green grasses and lake water
reminding you of dreams
nesting beneath
your warm body?

Peach Glow
There's so much I know
that can't fit
into the notes
of a melody...
but lives in the stillness
of green leaves
and the peach glow
of my heart.

Transcendent wooden plaque collages created by the Women's Healing Arts Circle at the Center for Wisdom's Women. The theme expressed is Standing In The Truth Of Your Own Being.
Each Feather
Each feather has a story
of places I've flown...
of food I've caught...
of times I've stood on one leg
until peace entered my heart.
And when I loose a feather
I hope someone will find it
and listen to the story.

Pushing the Envelope
Let's me know
what's inside...
A still, small voice
and always a song.
