Twilight Bliss
Twilight Bliss
She whispers to heaven
No rainbows dampened
Young souls tossing
Pearl birds
Planet full of color
A purple myriad
Rejoicing iridescence
Whisper tears
Rustic turquoise
Revived sunlight
Fountain of harvest
Seas hypnotize
Goodbye twilight bliss
Winter – Heather Mirassou
In the softest night
Free winter rises
Maiden blossoms sincere
Weary blossoms adhere
Winter grass is near
Naked tenderness is here
With tired kisses in the air
Goodnight springtime with care
April Alive – Heather Mirassou
April Alive
Budding bright rivulets
Islands of green groves
Ardent foliage
Idle leaves
Common spirit wild
Distant naked hues
Spot a summit air
April desires
Contentment alive
Nature Dawns
Nature Dawns
Nature Dawns
Flower fresh love
Perfumed trees
Rose colored affection
Sustenance to our eyes
Mother heaven in the skies
God’s great hand rises
Rain Dance
Rain Dance
The sound of crackling glass
Fill my eardrums and awaken me
A steamy haze beckons me
Barefoot and naked I tap-dance on bubbles
Sweet nectar fills my mouth with delight
The humid rain calms and soothes my sizzling skin
The stars are the brightest I have ever seen
The moon is tucked away in its cradle
Mother Nature has raised her hand for me
Come rain on me
Questionable Love
Questionable Love
From seedlings
Raw passion arrives
Teardrops germinate
A questionable love
Free reign love’s geyser
Either uproot and scatter
Or stay and bloom
I Keep on Loving You – Heather Mirassou
I Keep On Loving You
I keep on loving you
Year after year
We stand side-by-side
In this crazy life
Like nature and earth
Our bond never broken
Please remind me darling
Why you love me so
When you say
“You love me more than the
Earth, moon, the sky and stars”
I have no doubt
Your liquid aqua eyes
Like a baby blue sky
I see upon your
Gentle and serene face
Your heart echoing
Our heart-strings stronger
Than the yoke that bound us
Many years ago
Your heavy breath
Like a steamy
Dawn upon
A rustling brook
Your humble smile
Welcoming Me
Home-sweet-home
Till eternity
Your blond hair
Playing peek-a-boo
Like a sly fox
Inviting me to play
Your arms
Wide and inviting
A safe haven
To fit my mold
Your word
Built of steel
Your integrity
Crystal clear
Your laughter
Like honey-dew
A Reflection upon
A mirrored lake
Our love soars
Like an eagle mid-flight
Like the cotton clouds
Dancing in delight
My heart
Is yours forever
To quench your
Every desire

Moonshine Wind Song – Heather Mirassou
Barefoot and dirt-clod
I tip-toe across the yard
Avoiding mounds of stickers
Sharp rocks and weeds
The sky is full
Satin filled milk fluff
And moonshine
Full on me
Our tangerine trees
Rustle with low-lying
Bull frogs
Rib bit, rib bit
A symphony of crickets sings
High pitched Beetle mania
I hear a distant “moo” from the cows
A latent “who” from the owls in the barn
The statuesque wind chimes
Is playing a cacophony of wind song
This life here engulfs me in its pure and rare beauty
I am one with the country, home again
Nature’s Hope – Heather Mirassou
Blue haze surrounds
She looks ready to birth
She is only
Half-Crescent tonight
I can see her
Slow
Methodical movements
As she readies her bed
She is alone
Her mate will be home soon
She will wait patiently
Until they are one
Before she gives birth
To her swollen
Ghost white belly
You will see her too
When she is full, bright
Glowing, shining
We will all be in awe
At the exact moment
Her baby arrives
It is the unknown
We never tire of
Instead we
Look forward
What is to be?
As a Bronte sister once said;
“Hope’s spell glorifies”
Like the young
To this aging eye
Full of billions, trillions
Of mysteries
The fearful
The fair
The young
The old
She soothes us
Lull’s us
hypnotize us
Brings us
Qualities
To conquer
Our fears
She is sister to me
Sister to faith
Nature is her mother
Her father the Universe
When I look upon the
Ocean and Sky
So vast and mysterious
She holds my hand
Makes me strong
Makes the moon ready
To bare
If I am not feeling
Comfort
Or I am afraid
She becomes my guide
When my fate is
Uncertain
I have lost
My way
Hope Sustains
No matter my path
My weakness
Becomes strong
As I wait
For spring
I elate.

Who Am I? – Heather Mirassou
WHO AM I?
It’s been quite
Some time
Since someone
Noticed
Do see me?
I am Here
My beautiful
Warm
Genuine smile
Smiling at
The world
Beside me
Don’t you
See my
Chiseled calves
And voluptuous
Thighs
A mile high
I may be over
Forty
But my Bosom
Swings
And Skips
To a
Funky beat
With a tip-toe
Skip, Hop & dance
That only I know
My eyes
Liquid blue
Eyes stare
At magic
In the
Air
My skin
Fair
Freckled
With
An Irish
Pigment
From my
Grandmother’s
Lair
My limbs
Covered from
Head to toe
With Wisps
Of Blonde hair
From my
Mother’s
Hair
Like my
And French
Forefather’s
My heart
Pumps
By Wine
My Blood
And
Endless
Passion for
Tradition
My fingertips
Reminiscent of
God’s great earth
The Goddess
Nature
Aglow
Laced with
Permanent
callused
From my
Writing pen
A kaleidoscope
Into my
Soul within
My voice
An accent
Slung with
Kindness
Compassion
And love
So if you
See me
Dancing
Down the
Street
On just
An ordinary
Day
Than
Stop to
Smell the
Roses
May the
Aroma
Sweet
And lulling
Pass your
Way
Making
Your day
Do a little
Hop, skip & jump
And feel
Freedom
In your
Steps
Make sure
To Smile
My way
Don’t forget
For I am
Here
Watching
Dancing
Waiting
For someone
To see me

“OUR JOB IS TO AWAKE PEOPLE…
UTTERLY CONSCIENCE,
TO ATTEND TO THE WORLD.”
Be Alive In Everything – Heather Mirassou
“Be Alive In Everything”
I had heard it before and for a moment in time
I had awaken and was alive
But when fear, adversity, uncertainty and sin left me stranded
I raised my protective shield and ran with the wind
My soul stirred, whispered, cried for release
I wanted tranquility, happiness and contentment
I hit my knees unashamed
Prayed for strength, guidance and humility
No longer to let life pass me by
I took a leap of faith
Acceptance and forgiveness paved my path
Unwavering love and perseverance carried me
God’s Beautiful Artistry
With blind and deaf awareness
Be Alive in Everything
Revel in life
Find the detail
Be precise
Touch Everything
Explore
Be Inquisitive
Touch it
Taste it
Smell it
Feel it
Record it with Clarity
Be Alive to Everything
Now Go Paint the Rain

Cockeral Waltz
Cockerel Waltz
Good morning rooster
How do you do?
It’s the crack of dawn
You cock-a-doodle-do
You sit on your perch pride fully and woo
Standing mighty and bold you call your brood for food
Sleek and graceful you do the cockerel waltz
Strutting vaudeville statuesque
Crowing to proclaim your territory
You stand protecting your roost
Busty and brave
Watching for predators coming your way
The alpha male
Your ear lobes and crown are blood-red like a bird of paradise
Your steel beak as strong as a saw
Your feather mane chestnut drapes over your back
Your breast fuchsia and emerald quill
Your silken tail an extended fan
You run free rein on my ranch
A thousand chickens roost in my barn
You rearrange my garden while pecking for nourishment
Eating up all the insects and brown recluses in my yard
In dust you and your flock bathe
You even watch over the hens eggs
Your calls distinct and powerful
When you are still and content sweet singing rings
You are friendly to humans
And can even be domesticated
Stay here Roo
We will protect you
Heather Mirassou
