Sue Redding's Poetry

Graphic Vision

I see you with my spiral eye
my right eye is blind
but my left eye sees
through the bright white light
of the Divine

Hawk

clear sky
gliding high
sharp eye

far seeing
long knowing
high flying

I don't see anything
others couldn't see
I just have a different vantage point

I don't fly higher
than others could
but I know I have wings
and a willingness to soar

Wild Horse

there's a horse inside me
skittish and wild
delicate and exotic
always running
magical and powerful and fleet
elusive and untamed
beautiful and rare
white mane and tail flying
unbridled and free

A Gift of Love

I dreamed someone gave me four red roses
in a clear glass mug of water,
but I turned away from their beauty,
obssessively searching for the perfect vase.

Something Lacking

no chocolate in my life
nothing sweet and stimulating
no dessert after dinner
no treat in the afternoon
nothing smooth and rich and delicious to melt in my mouth
no luscious confection consumed simply for pleasure
none of the delightful decadence that other people have
no frivolous food at all

Attire of the Goddess

the sea wears a diaphanous gown of green
in sheer gauze of foam
delicately revealing the beauty of her depths.

Sanctuary

peace is something found in the belly
like a new life growing
at the center of my being

the sea turtle flies serenely in her element
gazing through the green translucence
with old, slow eyes

Sight
©2005

I see you
I see you with my hands
I see you with my heart
I see you with my solar plexus
and my belly
I see you with my ears and nose

I can see you with another kind of vision
I can see your soul
without your face getting in the way
I can see past your body
to your true heart
I can see you in a way
no one else can see you

Scary, isn't it?

Sky Writing

Great Mother nurtures all
Who open and listen and weep.
Be grateful for the pain,
For it makes you weep
And opens your heart.
Joy and pain and sorrow
are all the same,
And all open the Heart.
And the Heart is all that's left,
and all that matters,
and is all One.

Sacred Self
A poem by Sue Redding
©2005

I am the Goddess Incarnate.
I am the Sight of the Divine.
I am the Voice of Love and Compassion.
I am the Mother of all the Children.

I am the Gift of emotional energy,
of tears and laughter,
passion and joy.
I am the Gift of creative magic
and the Power of Mystery.

I am the Eyes of the World.
