Something about uncontainable Love

Dorothy Walters |

Often it is the ocean itself
that speaks in its roiling voice
its thunderous tongue.
 
What it is saying
I have listened to for years,
as it crackles and whips,
or whispers in its silken tones.
 
Even now I am not sure of its message,
its assaults of thrill and boom
shattering the rocks
into flares of light.
 
Something about Mystery,
something about uncontainable
Love.

~ from A CLOTH OF GOLD by Dorothy Walters

Walk through the world in silence

Dorothy Walters | November 2008 (Vol. XXI, No. 10)

Know who you are.
Do not debase the name.
Carry it in your heart,
a root flame of love.
Walk through the world in silence.
The moment will come.
The sign will be a soft
stirring of wings,
a gold shimmer of air.

~ Dorothy Walters

I entered a silence of green

Dorothy Walters | April 2006 (Vol. XIX, No. 4)

In the forest
was a path
which led on,
and on as if an access
to a deeper realm —
a place where peripherals,
the eddies at the edge of things,
were all forgotten,
and I entered
a silence of green,
became a soundless vortex
moving through stillness.

Do not debase the name

Dorothy Walters | May 2001 (Vol. XIV, No. 5)

Know who you are.
Do not debase the name.
Carry it in your heart,
a root flame of love.
Walk through the world in silence.
The moment will come.
The sign will be a soft, stirring of wings,
a gold shimmer of air.
