A WEEKEND HIKE IN GERMANY – By ElizaBeth Coira
Everything is coming
And I am starting today
I go hike through forests, spanning mountains
Stretch out in a blanket of snow
Absorb the sun between gray clouds
Stumble, twist, turn through rocky trails
Stare awe-struck, dumb-founded at the mouth of a cave
Wondering what awaits us, on the inside
It’s shallow, carved out of a weathered white stone
House and host to wanderers, past and now
I wander down the path of mammoth hunters
Only to find the dominion of a king
Medieval ruins, knight’s follies
Haunted troughs, misty memories
The trees stand silent, guardians
Of earth and all our secrets
So many take their troubles to the forest
To re-emerge full of peace and serenity
I guess that’s what we’re doing here
Seeking peace, healing, piece of mind
A mind beyond time, beholden to none
We have much to learn in the trees
F-BOMB – By ElizaBeth Coira
What if I dropped the F-bomb
In the hearts of every man
They’d wriggle, writhe
Twist and cry
For sins they’ve committed and permitted
What if I dropped the F-bomb
In the hearts of all women
They’d shift and sort
Through many thoughts
Pains, insults, injuries
But FEMINISM
Isn’t four letters
Though treated
As such
Frequently
PUT STRUGGLE AWAY – By ElizaBeth Coira
When we look for
Expect nothing
But a struggle in life
A struggle is all that we seek
So go ahead and follow
Invite the battle
Adopt your script
Play your role in the fight
But what if the world
Doesn’t follow a book
And you have the power
To craft your own story
Would you take it
Go out
Live life your own way
Love earth, self and others
Put struggle away
TAKE A WALK WITH ME – By ElizaBeth Coira
Climb up to the tree tops
Look out over seas
Listen to the breeze blow
Take a walk with me
The world is full of wonder
So much beauty here to see
Don’t just trust your television
Come take a walk with me
IT’D BE A SHAME – By ElizaBeth Coira
It’d be a shame not to live
To breathe in and out each new day
It’d be a shame not to give
The world your special purpose, gift
It’d be a shame not to be
One with earth’s great majesty
It’d be a shame not to see
From different ways, minds and meanings
It’d be a shame not to grow
Learn and lean toward sun and sky
It’d be a shame not to know
That love surrounds you here and now
GUIDING WINDS – By ElizaBeth Coira
What is home
So far away
From the home
I once knew
What is life
So different, new
From the way
I once blew
The wind has picked
Through my hair
Whispered, tickled
In my ear
My heart must know
Some distant lands
Yet some I feel
We meet again
LOVE – By ElizaBeth Coira
Love thyself to Know thyself
Know thyself to Be thyself
Be thyself to See thyself
See thyself as Love
