POETRY | Karen Curran THE HEART OF US |

Poetry and Prose

My own poetry/prose is about every day experiences - may you be encouraged or blessed by my writings.

I personally love the writings of John O'Donohue, Mary Oliver, David Whyte, Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Many blessings.

A heart beat

So gentle, so far away

But ever present

A heart beat

So many miles between us

And yet

A heart beat

Deep from the wells of my own heart

Ripples of love carry precious and loving prayers

A heart beat

May you be safe

May your journeys be fulfilling

May you be filled with joy

May your inner wisdom guide you

May you always know you are loved

A heart beat.

The flames dance as they weave their magic

Orange interleaves with yellow

and blue and white

Moving

Weaving

Reflecting

There is power underneath

Contained, hidden

Ready to reveal their strength when needed.

But, for now, they dance

They delight in just being

Giving out warmth

Being appreciated

The shadows are comforting

There is no fear

The dark and light interchange in equal measure

And share their wisdom

O flames of fire

Thank you for just being

For your warmth, your comfort

Illuminating the darkness on this cold winter’s night

Flames of life.
