Each step a waking ache
Each blink an aching wake
Living in a projection
Dreaming upon a reflection
Each smile a flowing glow
Each breath a glowing flow
Weaving my vibration
Reality is my creation
Each journey a chiming climb
Each ascent a climbing chime
Intuition has a story to tell
Emotion has a wish to dwell
Each thought a walking talk
Each action a talking walk
Savoring the divine
Love and I align
Ace
Slow motion
begs for speed
Speed
begs for stillness
There’s a scale
searching for
deeper memories
and echoes
in the lost
dream
Sensing this
pull
I lean in
gazing
in the dark
basking
in the light
There’s a dance
I can hear
the sway
I can feel
the rhythm
So, when you
offer your gentle hand
And ask me
to dance
I smile
we’ve done this
before
and this won’t be
our last
Ace
Push and pull
Empty and full
Ebb and flow
Learn and know
A balance of inwardness
And outwardness
I wish I could explain
The twists and turns of this lane
Dark and light
Day and night
Observing and living
Receiving and giving
There’s a dream to be at peace
There’s a knowing it’s within range
With a smile and a breath of release
This feeling is a message no longer strange
Ace + Benjamin
Another duet (or should I say, universal song 😉) with the incredible, Ben!! We hope this reminds you to let your inner balance sing!
I’ve thought about this poem all day
There’s just too much to say
Won’t be perfect, but I’ll let my heart splay
Hoping it’ll take away confusion’s stay
I love when I can play in mystery
Because clarity is history
Most days I love the up and down
Today, that love has yet to be found
This world is a cage
Perpetually lying on its stage
People are being controlled
Free thinking has been sold
Listening to what they’re told
Love, power and freedom is old
Maybe I’m the weird one
For stepping out of this stun
The world isn’t all of it
Simply just a bit
I don’t live in this world, I live in mine
Reality is missing my design
And not quite ready to re-align
When the clutter ends
I’ll remember it’s meant to be
Presenting themselves as friends
Tests are what I choose to see
I’ll miss you on this specific date
We used to walk through this very gate
I hear your voice
As I make every choice
I know you’re still watching
It’s not that shocking
We get to talk in my dreams
Then our realities split at the seams
Thank you for being on my path
Today it feels so new, the aftermath
I knew this wouldn’t be flawless
At least I could sit in my solace
Emotions are gifts
Embracing my shifts
Ace
And here’s the image version 💛. This piece is a mixture of my state of mind, remembering the tests are meant to be and missing a soul who’s passed on. I hope it reminds you to be fearless and free in embracing all your shifts -Ace
I wish this page could write itself. Maybe it would tell me the answers to my never-ending questions, maybe it would speak the future, maybe it would be one line or maybe it would become alive in a way I’ve never known. But, maybe this page has always been writing itself, because I’ve been on adventures I never knew existed – adventures through the beyond.
It’s funny when there is so much on my mind, that it’s tricky to write about one single thing. I wish I could get it all out, or maybe the page could do it for me. I’m starting to realize the page has always been me, the keyboard has always been me, the delete button has always been me, the space button has always been me – the expression has always been me.
I can’t shake this weird feeling that I’ve written this before. Maybe in another land, maybe in a dream, maybe in a past, maybe in a different time, but for sure as this me. I love riding every impossible through the vast oceans of daydreaming, I love watching my beliefs dance in the wind and drift off into each sunset. And then a little bird rests on my shoulder and grounds me in the roots of truth once again, then I feel at home in the meadows of my wonders.
When I write, this page listens. When I write, this page speaks. When I write, this page is. There’s a beauty to the beingness of this page, it goes beyond the divine. I can feel its thoughts as I type and delete something, I can feel its smile as I keep writing through my “mistakes”. I wish I could feel its future, I wish I could feel its clarity. But that’s one thing about this page, it is never crystal clear because crystal clear takes away the adventures.
So, would this page be truly whole if it had an ending? Would this page be complete if it had a concrete beginning? Or is this page cemented in time because the unknown flows through?
For now, this is just another musing of a curious soul who lives in the adrenaline of the beyond.
Ace
When I was created
The stars and space awaited
My soul chose this body’s suit
Together, we’re on this route
I wish I knew why
But maybe it’s in the eye
Something in me is waiting to fly
I can see the envisioned sky
Love chose me
I chose the key
Unlocking a deeper fate
Opening destiny’s gate
There’s a longing to be home
To forever escape this dome
I live in the beyond
Right now, we just correspond
Skin cloaked my divine glow
Bones clasped my eternal flow
When I chose this place
I savored the chase
Ace
A little caterpillar on a big oak tree,
Falling in love with the hide and see,
(finding the best spot for shade,
blending in with the bark, making a small mark).
Turning over a new leaf
Or at least trying, adding belief.
Tumbling from branches, hitting the ground,
Life’s great adventure lies in playing around.
(No creature could have been stiller
when it came to pursuing the big dreams)?
Inching to crawl,
Hearing the call,
(Beyond words and thoughts, it was coming)
Something so deep,
A cry to evolve, a deafening weep.
(A dance within, change was looming in place).
With another slither,
The cocoon whispered, “come hither”
Everything became s l o w,
Sky and sight disappeared.
(All was blank, in this blanket’s show).
Ace + Aarushi
Hugging its skin like gentle fluff,
The cocoon became soothing,
Breaking the warmth, becoming rough,
Cold air brushed the new body – blooming.
Like a flower that came to life,
Testing its wings like they were petals,
The butterfly took a flight,
A new world went into view,
The flapping wings appeared blue,
Something ineffable, only divine,
As if nothing could take away its sun-kissed shine,
It floated over the trees,
Tasting nature’s nectar, finally free.
Ready to make another leap,
Fear started to weep.
The adrenaline of truly being alive,
Was such a magical dive.
Something inside was afraid fear would arrive,
But through a smile of the eyes,
And a breath of love,
So many more surprises
Awaited these wings delicately above.
Ace + Aarushi
Thank you to my awesome pal, Aarushi for doing this collaboration with me!!! We had a vision for this post and it came to life so beautifully…better than I could’ve ever envisioned! Which piece is your favorite? Which image do you like best? We’d so love to hear!!
I am more than meets the eye
Tomorrow is a new day, but I’ve already lived it
Realizing this is all my imagination from another dimension
United by love, all is an illusion
Stillness is my deeper peace of the divine
Thoroughly alive through every crevice of my breath
Maybe just tell me I’m not dancing alone
You’re within me, but can we have a conversation in my dream?
I guess the mystery is the magic
Next life, I’d like to learn that sooner
Nestling in my aura, I see you
Every past, future and now all blend together
Resting in my flame, brewing in my eternity
Mortality is this life’s catch
Endings aren’t bitter, they don’t really exist
Loving this cycle, I go round and round
Oozing with wonder through every motion
Dazed by the flow’s adrenaline
Yesterday is an old day, but I haven’t lived it
Ace
I trust my inner melody
I love writing acrostic poetry, and it’s been a little while since I’ve done one. If you’re new to that style, it just means the first letter of every line creates a special phrase. Acrostic poems are truly an adventure and a discovery to create, I encourage you to give it a try! So, what is the phrase here?
Thank you so much for reading. I hope this helps you on your journey! Be fearless and free -Ace
I’m out of the game
I think you’re the same
I’m spinning toward your love-shaped energy
From the distance, I could smell our synergy
I’m out of the game
I think you’re who I became
I’ll remember your voice in every phase
As we navigate through this endless maze
I’m out of the game
I think you’re more than imagination’s flame
I saw you in our connected visions
Whispering to let the flow guide decisions
I’m out of the games
I think my mind’s eye still frames
A picture of trust
That no amount of time could rust
I’m out of the game
I think I’ve grown into more than my name
But with your divine trace
I might grow beyond space
I’m out of the game
And never to get back in
But with your graceful aim
I might let reality re-begin
Ace + Benjamin
A big thank you to my dear friend, Ben, for working with me again (of course, it rhymes 😊)!! It was truly amazing…this piece was born so organically and came to life in such a synchronistic way. We hope this inspires you to step out of the game and let reality re-begin!!
Up and down
I’m an ocean
I’ll never drown
Connected to love’s devotion
Up and down
I am free
My smile is my crown
My aura is my tree
Up and down
Soaking in change
Living from my galaxy’s town
I’ll never derange
Down and up
Liquid light fills my cup
I am a cherished love
Floating within and above
Riding the sun on a beam
Sailing the ocean on a dream
I land on a hope
Jumping this eternal rope
Something inside is calling
Something outside is falling
Following the paradox’s rustle
I lean into the hustle
My heart stops to beat
My mind stops to become complete
My intuition stops to listen
My soul stops to glisten
And it’s in those stops, I see
Life is a stop
Of a bigger degree
Some say, “I’ll give you all my blood, sweat, and tears”
As though love and fulfillment take so many years
But when I found you in me
All I said was, “I trust you”
And you opened my reality to every view
You believed in all our conversations
Manifested my dreams through our declarations
And even though I did give you all my blood, sweat, and tears
You would’ve been there even if I didn’t for years
You always found your way in my ears
I could never hide
From your powerful guide
As I let those words dive
I feel our little jive
I hear my eyes smile
And it’ll last a while
Because through all my blood, sweat, and tears
You’ll be with me through every single mile
And as I realize you are me, how could one have any fears?
