Maatkara's Poems

Dolphin Dancing



Blythe fluidity

~ ~ ~ ~ Lithe lucidity

Silver arcs shimmer

From flash

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ to splash ! ~ ~

And glimmer

In a glimpse

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ to grasp

The heart-leap

Of Freedom's touch

In the spirit

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ of emotion

In the ocean

~ ~ ~ ~ of their Joy

To turn, turn as

~ ~ A little child

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ To See

~ ~ ~ ~ so free

To Be

And laugh as One

~ ~ ~ to Dance among

The angels of

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ the Sea ~ ~

Matriarch


Great grey mother's love
guides her clan from dry bushveld
to river valley

deep infrasound reaches out
calling all her kind in range

Tender-touched, they're led
taught the ways of life and death
tuned to Earth and sky

mapped in memory to keep
her family safe and well

The Walk

If you want to
Know and Understand
anyone or anything
Suspend
all assumptions
Withdraw
all projections
Abandon
all beliefs

Only then can you
Begin
To learn the Truth of
anyone and anything
Only then will you
End
Presumptions of proof

to BE



B E

A sun of Sun

Walk like a Lion

Be like a Lamb

Soar like an Eagle

Call like a Dove

Speak like an Angel
