Poems from the Theatre of Spontaneity, 26 August 2012

We had a very rich evening with Jorge Burmeister last Sunday.  One of the many activities we experienced saw us gather into several small groups and work together finally creating a poem of our experience.  Here they are:

Poem 1:

Mountains, forces of earth
Deep in the center, far beneath, a baby
At peace, a pause, gathering for the next
My space, a woman's new space, creating
Going no further, more to go.

Poem 2:

Beautiful dirge
Softly tattooed
Joyous grief
In Beauty alive
Beauty passing
Crimson shroud worms
Him to his velvety abode

Life force seeps
Leaving only grey

Her cousin weeps
Scattering the petalled love
Of her garden bed

Everything returns to earth.

Poem 3.

I am here
In the beautiful fragility
This is life

I am here
With my loved ones
Past and present
This is life

I am here
With the fondness
Of memories
This is life

I am here
With the spirit of people
Who are ever presence
This is life

I am here
With the tapestry
Of richness and warmth
Sewn with threads of beauty
And losses and pain
This is life

Life is everything
And everywhere
Petal of the Cherry Blossom
This is life.

Poem 4.

Whale shark
Awesome power
Sweet water
Waiting its time
In the moment

Time gauges
Both sides
Watching my child

The moment
Surely deep water

In the moment
Love came
So truly
But loss can part
The moment

Time heals
Time heralds
Time swirls
It is always
My time.

Poem 5.

We are rooted in the earth
Feeling our strength
Nourishing our spirit
Greenness growing into our being.
