The Soul of Travel Magazine
TRAVEL JOURNALISM WITH SOUL *** Spring & Summer 2008
SERENADE
by Marcia L. Hannewald Sweet sanctuary on the water’s edge
You call to me
Remind me of my heart’s true home
Your lapping waves a siren song
Seducing softly as I sleep
Adrift in dreams of bygone days
When free to laugh and run and play
I lay my handprint on the earth
Beneath a canopy of swaying palms
I feel your freshness on my skin
Awakened to the mystery
Of who I am now meant to be
The truth has been there all along
How did you lure the right souls in
To lift us up and light the way?
One thousand synchronicities can’t be denied
This student’s ready
My teacher has appeared
Our great blue-green amazing world
Mere putty in her practiced arms
Its majesty revealed in splendid Technicolor bursts
Like cubs behind a mama bear
We follow, wide-eyed, to her lead
Scrambling, with beginner’s mind
To write, to contemplate, to breathe
The present moment blankets us
In perfect, silent harmony. |
