Violet Enlightenment
original encaustic © Kim Nelson
Settling, legs folded
perched on violet rug
I enter
serenity’s realm
calm envelops
vision opens
purpose becomes clear
Divine and I
share the helm
merged
we create
it is good
like a ripening fig
ruddy-colored, aglow
she emanates
light from within
fecund, fruitful and fine
helpmate, mother, divine
blessed be
she

Caramel-colored, cool, lithe, calm
Her grace settles the scene
Head held high, shoulders back, legs long
Lacking pretense, guile; doesn’t preen
The real deal, this one, confident, bright
Knows her mind, body; both strong and lean
Centered and balanced, a powerful force
A goddess, a woman, serene
Words, Work © Kim Nelson
at times
words, work
ooze across the page
darkening reader’s psyche
wrenching guts
and breaking, aching hearts
cathartic
those
but then
words, work
illuminate the page
enlightening, brightening minds
healing wounds
and connecting, resurrecting
cathartic
too
the poet
creates
all

Body
of proof,
of mine
gives and gives again
out
away
never up
pleasure, pain, pride
precious cargo
babies
world’s weight
soul living to evolve
solve
mysteries
Body
of proof
of mine
gives and gives again
out
away
not up
not yet
Gotta love it.
