It is said that the body will heal itself of most things, if we will allow it to do so and not overburden it with remedies — the same is true of the soul and the heart.

Transforming
I translate stars into daydreams
I make rain and rainbows into
freshly squeezed joy
I breathe the air of possibility
I swim deep in rivers of passion
I use my loneliness as
a stepping stone to love
I am on the march to freedom
I tend to my blossoming soul

Reflecting
Death drops the outer shell and lets the pure inner light shine —
O spirit shining like the bright colorful star you’ve been all along!

Spirit-gears
A beating heart needs a soul to go with it, or it’s nothing but a machine.

I’m positive!
My veins are lined
with a velvet hope
My soul is electric
and lights with dreams
My mind is infinite
and buzzes with wonder
My heart, beyond alive,
gushes boundless love
My body is fragile
yet heals as if magic
My will is strong — it
dances with courage!
—Terri Guillemets
All the time
Life is enhanced by the light of souls and other assorted stars.

Wildreams
Dreams grow wild in the daydreamer’s soul.

Infinitas per æternitas
Love is in my bones —
it’s in my blooms and
in my spilled-red blood;
lust is in my perfumed flesh,
desire-poems in my skull.
How many kisses have I
in my primal fervent lips;
how much pristine rainbow’d
faith in my life-worn soul?
—Terri Guillemets
With or without a ladder
Climb from the depths of your soul to the heights of your future.
—Terri Guillemets
Unbrain
I’m going to stop spending so much time trying to figure out HOW and WHY and just do what feels right and give thanks! Because that is healing.
—Terri Guillemets
Windblown
The veil concealing truth gets windswept in the wee hours, revealing all to the silence of the night.

3 a.m. poetry
Night speaks a language of shadows and of the soul. 3 a.m. is poetry translatable only by the moon and stars.
—Terri Guillemets
Selves
A philosopher lives in your mind,
a lover in your heart,
an alchemist in your soul.
