I want abundance Ease I want to vanquish the sense of lack Back to the emptiness that birthed it I want joy as plentiful as pollen in spring Worry to become a dirty word I want art and literature and poetry And dancing to the music of my heart Easy mornings and quiet evenings My children's laughter endlessly echoing Against walls papered in their smiles I want a life where dreams thrive Where tears fall as frequently As summer rain in California I want more than wanting I demand this I plant these desires into the world's fertile soil Water these seeds with whispers of manifestation I no longer seek permission to light my hearth I am a sun I set the world alight with my mere being I do not seek permission for the life I want I am here Now Already permitted Already reaping the blessings of the world Worthy of all the good since birth A miracle amongst miracles And today I claim my place
Oh Northwest Wind
Bring forth your breeze
And with your breath make summer ease
Oh Northwest Wind
Gift your crisp, biting air
That tells us Fall will soon come to bear
Oh Northwest Wind
Please do not tease
Instead, herald the changing of the leaves
Oh Northwest Wind
Return us our foggy blanket
So we may start dreaming of harvest banquets
Oh Northwest Wind
Please place kisses on our skin
So Summer knows its rule is at an end
Oh Northwest Wind
Time to dance through the pines
While we bundle in sweaters and sip rich wine
Oh Northwest Wind
Please bless us from above
So that we may give thanks with Autumnal love
