5 poems by AVA BIRD

thank you note to mother planet

goddess gaia 

thank you 

for having us here

 thanks for having me

here on your place 

birthing our asses 

on your beautiful planet

 thanks

thank you for all you do

for us and more

 please tell the stars I’m sorry 

sorry for the pollution and confusions

the stupids, the warlords 

we’re a weird bunch 

down here we know

still just trying 

just trying to get it right

still just trying to

figure things out

work with these people 

 keep breathing 

keep breathing deep

and being free

and gratefully

to all

you too

om shanti

thank you 

mother earth

we love you!

******************************

back together again

it was another near death experience

 coming home last night 

om om take me away 

take me to the stars and lights and bright city nights 

in the fun

 times 

those days of friends and dinner times

laughs and breaths

 here we go again 

back 

to the breath of life 

the scents

the presence

 the ins and outs

 innies and outies 

celebrating sunshine and retreat 

dark times are good too for we learn and grow 

in the silent darkness

 of where has everybody gone?  

where have they been all these years? 

and here we are anyway after all this time! 

still here now 

still floating up to the stars 

over basics

beginners minds

yogic blisses 

girls on floors

 knocking knocks  

lying flat on hardwoods

shh-ivasana

please keep quiet 

its our retreat

 time 

thanks for being so kind my friend 

please forgive my transgressions 

my crazy aggressions 

the rants and rolls

 over splits 

legs  homes  nuts

 im going up to the stars again

downtown

and up

 those flying nights

 of sunsets

 gone wild

fire and ice

 that west coast

our last words:

 lets do it again

then

we both flew away 

far and deep 

in

 to the expanses

 of multiverses 

we went there

 we got higher and higher 

over heart beats 

connections

chakras spinning forth and back 

to the presence

 to the transcendence 

of love living light 

and free

on bright happy moments

 here we are, 

all together again

~~~~~~

passing through

cruising 

cruise control 

 good drinks

snacks and laughs and music

just cruising

at high speeds 

through deserts 

back desert roads 

back roads 

in

deep thoughts wondering 

why 

why is it like this?  

wandering 

third eye working hard out there 

open and shining 

on the sun beating down 

beating down hard

 rays of golden light

 soak it up

 drink it in

 suck it down 

it burns sometimes

 this light 

this hard core burning 

of karma thru action 

right action 

right thoughts

 ill keep it in mind 

keep it in my heart

 keep it wandering free 

these thoughts on these roads 

these back roads 

through old towns and sacred sites 

just passing through 

thank you for having me 

thank you for letting me pass 

thanks for the signal 

the signs the open roads 

the glowing sunsets

 the drive by glory 

the paradise out of windows

  looking deep 

dreaming big

 of times of good days

those good old days

the times we were free

when we were just running

giggling in fields

sneaking out late

laughing over everything

flipping and jumping

just being a kid

and feeling happy and free

so I got back in touch

found those days and feelings again 

through magic and focus pocus

I got there

going deeper now.    

Growing in 

and up other ways

 that’s nice too 

we can’t stay forever

learning and adapting

 is part of our cosmos 

it’s in the stars

the wax and wane 

the sun and moon  

time to shine again

~~~

best days

4:15  

New Moon Meditation for Balance and Protection

Damn I missed it

I’ll hit it tomorrow 

I know its best 

to be here now 

sure I’ll go 

what time?

can’t wait

 be open 

to incidences of frequencies 

of high 

vibrations

lights of happiness

sunshine and smiley days

 yoga ways, union connection

freeways of open road

and great days still

ahead

~~~

have you hugged an invisible person today?

I am not seeing

 what I want to see.

  despite what they say

 I want to see more

   the other realms 

 I want to see what is above and beyond 

this  

 behind the earth, above the earth, way down below the roots 

 way up high

 so much more than what we see here

the visible spectrum

all this is here for us to see

to unsee 

embrace the unseen 

hug the invisible

 be invisible sometimes 

they don’t see me and that’s a good thing 

I can sing more and walk through walls more and 

just sit and watch and wait

wait for them to see me

so I can save them

so they can save me

from myself

and send me off

into the sunset

like I hope

for them too
