Venus

It seems contrary that Venus goes retrograde

As Spring vividly approaches!

The underworld is spilling upwards

I’ve noticed shadows and illness

Addiction, handicaps, and depression.

My heart hurts and is overwhelmed.

Man at the parking lot asking for money!

Young man in a wheelchair

As parents push him through the supermarket

his eyes deep in a world of despair.

I hold on to the pain as it washes over me with tears

Helpless tears of acknowledgment and power

As we walk through these dark times

To acknowledge it all with observing hearts

Our hears feels!

We help by our vibrations of

compassion, empathy and caring.

A silent prayer of hope,

So, the wounded can find a gentle joy

That pleasure brings

upon their vivid blood-red hearts.

She knows and she descends to us

the gift of her sweetness

for all times.

Walking with those that hold the lanterns

In the dark descending spiral into the underworld.

Light that eliminates the darkness

By acknowledgment, letting go.

 As hearts grow in applied ways

This is our wisdom.

A balm for our world…

Breast bending up

Chest falling

love will be found there too.

  1. I wish that were true, Yet, I see
    Regression a lack of concern by
    Government and the war machine!
    Men with hearts of stone!
    Yes many hearts will grow
    yet many hearts
    Regress and have lost their souls !!

Hey what do you think....
