Card- Water Magic

Message: This card is telling you to make a magical connection to water today. Remember that the element of water can take many shapes: fresh water and salt water, rain, snow, fog, sleet or ice, forceful or gentle, wild and natural or tamed by man. Take a day or week to connect with it in all it’s forms as you can and thank each one for the gift that it brings.

Notes from Me: Well, we had a few days of all of those various forms all wrapped up in a winter storm. Now, I’m not one to enjoy snow but I put out to the Universe to let me see it from a different perspective. Then, today, out popped this card. Coincidence, I think not?

I know water can be healing. It cleanses us. It nourishes us. It provides a home for all of it’s water creatures and animals. I am grateful for water.

To all who read this, this message is for you as well. I hope it resonates with you in some way.

We wait for you to show
We wait
We wonder when
You are like the sun
Shining through
A myriad of dark clouds

Yes,we do know
That we are already lit
From within
We flicker and glow
We’re just waiting
For you to ignite the fire

So, we wait
We are patient
Just don’t take too long
Or linger to much
WE are ready to be
ILLUMINATED

Pluck the petals one by one
Drop them gently on the floor
Each contribute to it’s wholeness
Beautiful to the core

Roll your body on it’s bedding
As their fragrance penetrates your pores
Their sultry sweetness so  intoxicating
Beckons you back for more

Watching him as he sleeps
His face so fair and smooth
His lips so plump and sweet
Like honey to the taste
I drink him in

His arms so strong and sinewy
His hands so firm yet soft
He has his gentle ways
of holding me just so
I feel protected in his embrace

His muscular legs lay there still
His feet are sheer perfection
So wonderful the sight
This man of my dreams
I drink him in

The days, like the sun, are fading fast
The clock is ticking much to quickly
We’re at our summer’s end
These days of wild abandon
All that we feel we found in our heart
Expressed by our deepest desires
The wanton looks we exchanged to each other
Oh, how I wish that these would go on forever
Yes, this was the time of our lives
All wrapped up in one beautiful sunset
Never to be forgotten
This is our summer’s end

I had so many plans for you, my son
What I didn’t know
Was that your destiny was already set
By God and you

My job was to accept that
You were destined to be
A Valiant Warrior
Against a disorder without known origins
How Courageously you fight!

You possess a heart without boundaries
You love so completely
You laugh so infectiously
You are a joy to behold
I love you, my son.

No matter that you do not know me
You’ve touched me and I healed
I was empty
You filled me up again

You may never know
Or care to know me
I am but a flicker of light
In a vast expanse of starlit sky

Yet somehow our energies merged
Mingled and fused
Somewhere far apart and far beyond
We met and related

I am forever changed and enriched
You showed your vulnerability
All walls came crashing down
There you were

So beautiful a soul
Filled with such light and love
You were lit up
In that grand expanse of starlit sky

A lonely voice is crying out
Do you hear it?
Or are your ears deaf to the sound
of people who are in need

A beautiful face appears
They have tears in their eyes
Do you offer comfort?
Or do you turn away

You feel a tap on your shoulder
You turn around to find a person
Pleading for help and direction
Do you turn away?

What are we here for
If not present for each other
How can life sustain itself
Without compassion and kindness
… and love

You have my back
I have yours
If you carry a heavy load
I’ll share the weight

All I know now
All I’ll ever be
Is connected with you
We are One

Dear One,

You are like no other  one I’ve ever known. You are a flaming star in the midnight sky. You are an enchanter and I am your captivated audience. You weave spells. You are magic.

So closely I feel towards you. Dare I say that in you I see me? We are like opposite reflections in a mirror. You shine from the outside in. I shine from the inside out. It’s the inside though that we feel the same things deeply. It is why we feel things so deeply in the same way that we are kindred spirits. Ah, yes, I feel this so strongly. I know this to be true. I am certain.

You may never know me though. We don’t travel in the same orbit- perhaps we do telepathically but never consciously. You have not taken notice of me. I am like the many fallen leaves outside your window. Alas, this makes me sad and, can I say, I have shed many tears because of this. I can wish but I cannot force.

Life is life though. It can be cruel at times. So many people are put on our path. We learn from them. We yearn for them. We get lost in them. We love them. In the end, though, we are not meant for them and we must let them go.

Just know that you’ve touched me. I shall always be grateful for that. Your eyes may never see. Your ears may never hear. Your heart, though, knows my touch. I have left my imprint there. I am the gentle brush on your soul.

Forever,
Your Flame

We shall rise above
The hate that resides
In hearts today
Hate is fear
We shall never give in to fear

We shall find the place
Where love resides
Into our higher selves
We shall go
Peacefully and lovingly

Feel what you feel
Then let go
Rise above
Find that place
Where love prevails
