Come Home

Come home
Come home
I hear your call
My time has come
It is my fall
Like the seasons
I have changed
Hair of silver
Little laugh lines
A full and happy life
I have walked
Many seasons of time
As the leaves dull
And wither away
I thank you
For allowing me this day
*
One last time
To count my blessings
One last day
To kneel and pray
One last moment
To reflect
On the life I have lived
Without regret
*
Your Spirit fills me
It carries me on
Your Spirit guides me
As I go to a new home
One last time
I take your hand
Please lead me on
To the new land
Humbly, I ask
You accept me in
Softly I knock
On the door
Which will take me in
*
A brand new season
Full of life
A new color to change
No more strife
A new land to walk
A new moment in time
A new day to live
A new home
You give
Come home, come home
I hear your call
Closing my eyes
Softly, they fall

Within The Shadows

There is a mystery

It is inside of me

I don’t quite understand it

But I know longer fear it

If suddenly a winged being

Were to show up and take me away

I would accept this as part of my everyday

Would be nothing unusual

As I greet this winged creature

A mystical friend, I now see as a teacher

A much better image

Than what I thought months ago

I believed he was an evil creature

Who was after my soul

Now I know my soul is protected

Treated as special as it is

A unique treasure

Bestowed upon me

My soul will outlast

The physical

It will continue to explore

But will travel beyond

Just outside the boundaries

Just outside of the sun

Those places thought to be

Unexplored

Though I believe that to be untrue

There is an entire world in the darkness

All in the shadows

One must train the eye

One must train the heart

With a little practice

I shall see a new world

Centuries old

Filled with ancient stories and beings

Filled with secrets yet to be told

The answers to everything

Man every truly needed

Are within these shadows

I will be busy reading

Such a fascinating place

I do not want to go back

Except to see those who I love

 I no longer have a choice

This is my new home

I am so happy to have chosen it

A heavenly place

I am now a part of

My bed in the shadows

Where I may sleep deeply

And my dreams will come true

I shall wear veils and bells

And hope to start growing wings

Although I am not certain

I shall have such wondrous things

Perhaps I need more training

Or am deemed unworthy

I believe I shall start reading there

For my answers are there

I am ready to sleep

For the first time

What will tomorrow bring

An answer to a dream?

Maybe my soul mate is there

Maybe tomorrow will  bring him near

Where we can touch and live together

Where there are no rules

Except those of God

Blessed I am

In this heavenly land

Blessed I am

When I find this man

My husband in life

My husband in death

My perfect soul mate

We are always together

Now all I need are others I love

One day, when the time comes

When they come unto me

Renee Robinson

Toss A Star

 Carry me over the portal

The threshold of the realm

A spiritual wedding with many blessings

Our union forever hopping through realms

Together we surf through the clouds

Hand in hand we will travel

No worries of time

No worries of tomorrow

If the Heavens take me home

My memory will remain

For I live inside of you

And you are inside of me

I shall always walk the earth

So long as my spirit resides

Look toward the Heavens

Call out my name

I will shine within the moon

And give you a wink

I will tickle an owl

And make him hoot

I shall toss a star

For you to catch

Within your next dream

My memory will remain

For I live inside of you

And you inside of me

Renee Robinson

 

A Hidden Light

There is something down deep inside of you

Begging to come out

It is not unlike a candle with a flame that flickers

A little nervous dance before the romance starts

A lack of confidence as you question yourself

What is hidden deep inside

Is out in the open without you even knowing

It is in your eyes, your heart, your spirit

You have it buried so deep for so long

You never thought it existed

I have always seen you

I see the beauty you think does not exist

You have so many kinds of beauty

So colorful and wanting to come out

Of that deep place inside of you

To see the light

To see the real world

To see what you have been missing

Renee Robinson

Shadows And Light

Shadows and light  up above me

Creating kaleidoscopic patterns

A spectrum of color projects on my skin

An array of Autumn color

A breeze blows making this shadow collage

Creating an oasis within the shadow mirage

Breathing in life, the patterns moving on their own

Bursts of colors singing out, magical tone

Of the voyages they have taken

And the wonders they have seen

The wind is alive, this burst of color is for me!

I close my eyes and I ride nature’s song

Shadows of leaves on my skin

As I lay beneath this tree

They softly sing out a dream

A dream designed for me

The spectrum of color speaks

Telling of streams falling on rock

The background melody

I can hear her song as softly she sings

Shadows cast upon the water

Along with the sunbeam

Countless tiny rainbows

Splattered here and there

As the sunbeam asks the rocks to dance

Shadows and light play barefoot and prance

Through the water and

Rocks proudly dancing with sunbeams

Showing off their rainbow tuxedos

The water ripples in tempo with nature’s song

This is the place where I belong

I long for this everytime I close my eyes

I long for this dream to become my reality

Sunlight and shadows on my skin

Shadow puppets telling a story

This place is mine

It will be here whenever I wish and close my eyes

My little place where there is no stress

Everything is happy, there is no misery

Let the breeze kiss your cheek

Allow it to tousle your hair

When all seems bleak

Follow the shadows and light

To the place that is special to you

Follow until you find it

It is right there waiting for you

Renee Robinson

My Self And I

We went to a magical place

My self and I

It was a lovely time

As I allowed my self to come in

I allowed her to take over

I offered complete trust

She graciously entered

All became hushed

In one soothing breath

I felt her guidance and love

I was ashamed of my neglect

She is charmed

And music follows us

Wherever we go

We talk to the birds

With whistles and chirps

Rich sounds arise

Forming a silver cloud

Upon the cloud

A table appears

A few candles for Light

As we say a few prayers

If not for God

And a Divine hand

Which painted hills, meadows and trees

Forming the land

Painted  small ripples

And great waterfalls

Countless beauty and wonders

Including storm clouds that thunder

Man could never recreate

Making one see the vastness

Leaving one breathless

Amazed at such marvels

Of Divine glory and power

I am so glad I allowed

My self to take over

To listen to her

To allow to meditate

Finding our roots

With the One who creates

One by one

She brought out our gifts

For which we were blessed

By the wave of a Hand

So many things and so long ago

She still recalled

She brought out everything

Mystical memories aglow

We are armed and ready

As we decorate

Chanting new songs of prayer

With magical notes

Hoping all is good

I will continue to seek advice

As the Sacred Day nears

What a wonderful day

Happy it will be

I will dance and pray

Great offerings I will give

In my love and devotion

On this Blessed Day

Thankful for all creation

Renee Robinson

Hand On My Heart

Somewhere deep within

An unseen hand

Has a grasp on my heart

A grip to and fro

Has done so since birth

I have not always been thankful

I have not always given thought

What he does

How tiring never to stop

Or take a break

He lives in a different time

Perhaps it stands still

That would explain

No need for a tummy refill

How you hands must tire

Working round the clock

The circle of life

Of which I am a ring

A circle within a circle

Making it strong

Hoping for strong, healthy, long lives

The hand continues in a rhythm of love

The only expectation for me to walk in love

To love Him and all of creation

To love each other

To lend a helping hand

In our own ways

We are the hand

That has a rhythmatic squeeze

It shows when we help a stranger

Or someone in need

To show love for one another

To honor Thy Name

My hand is a butterfly

Searching someone who needs a little love

Landing on a shoulder, or a cheek

To let you know

I am here

Together we walk

Circled within

A ring of love

Delicate as Butterfly wings

Softly, we create

a brand new ring

Of love, of hope, and

of peace

Eternal

Yesterday you took me by the hand

We went to the woods

We sat by a pond

You brought a picnic

You sang me a song

We took a canoe to the pond

Clumsy we were

Making us laugh

Causing a stir

Awaking the birds

They started to watch

In merriment they sang, They heckled and laughed

Such a good time

Never to end

I closed my eyes so I could pretend

But yesterday is my today

In the canoe again

Yesterday starting over

Instant replay

We continue to drift

Right on down the stream

Deer catching my eye

And dragon flies

Looking like fairies

At first glimpse

I wonder if they have magic

Like my little friends

Today’s yesterday

Continues on

We control time

There are no alarms

*

Closing our eyes

Miles apart

Soul searching commence

This world, we depart

Holding hands as we travel

Through clouds of mystery

Going to a land

Created by dreams

Painted in my mind

Vaporizing time

Transforming

Into reality

The past, present and future

Are of our making

In the film of the mind

*

A grand matinée

Casting us together

Forever instant play

Romantic comedy or a love story

A realm of our production

Souls of the past

Present and future

Award winning

Reproduction

A frame at a time

Playing in my mind

Keeping us etched together

*

Eternal

Soul Story

Eternal history, Eternal mystery

Eternal, we play

Eternal

The reel turns

Eternal

Circle of love burns

Eternal…eternal

Karma

Come into my parlor

Said the spider to the fly

Much too quickly

To allow him a reply

She kissed him on the lips

Making his poor mind dance

Mesmerized by her eyes

All he could do was prance

Led by the nose

Sent to another world

He sat on the sofa

While  his head swirled

She kissed him again and again

As he melted in her arms

Completely unaware

He was a victim of her charms

For before he could wake-up

From his blissful state

He found himself tangled up

In a web after they had mate

Say bye-bye to our poor fellow

He can no longer move

For his insides are now jell-o

The spider feasted

And couldn’t help but smile

Thinking of babies

For she would now have a child

Her time came

In a blink of the eye

100 screaming babies

Can you hear their cry?

“I was crazy”

She thought in despair

“Why did I have so many?”

“They are running everywhere!”

“This is what I get

For misleading a man

Karma came round and bit me

So hard I can’t stand

100 little brats

All with 8 legs

Running all around

Wish I ate my eggs!”

Renee Robinson

Kidnap

Another vial of poison administered.

Slowly, I die….

How long will it take?

Will there be time to keep me alive?

Revenge! I need revenge!

Said to be sinful

But maybe worth the risk

I don’t know, I must be careful

How long have I been here?

Around 3 years?

Kidnapped and tied

It seems like centuries,

Much longer than years

The poison he gives me

Slowly it claims me

First the nausea

Next the sweats

Finally, hallucinations

Unable to rest

Though so very tired

I continue to fight

There must be a way out

I wish I could take flight

It was then I heard a small noise

Barely caught by my ear

A tiny fairy magically appeared

She flew around the side of my head

And tickled my ear while she said

Come with me

I shall get you out

I have the key

I took it while he was out

She presented me with a tiny key

So small, I could barely see

All at once the key grew bigger

It was an old rusted skeleton key

Elated I was to see

I put it in the door and turned

Hearing the lock

click click

Just then

The fairy stopped me

She knew I was very sick

She gave me a magic drink

She said to drink it all

It looked rather nasty

In a glass which was tall

Surprisingly it was sumptuous

And left me wishing for more

The fairy pointed and gave me a look

Oh! Put down that glass and open the door!

The mansion was gorgeous

Catching glimpses as I ran

An army of fairies leading the way!

Checking our path along the way

At last we made it outdoors

The fairies gave me golden wings

And we flew away

I found a new home and I married

But I never forgot about the fairies

They are living in my garden

Inside nice birdhouses

Which was all I could find

The fairies seem to love them

And have them fixed up nicely

I love  having them here

Protecting my family
