Three Poems Inspired by Chie Yoshii Art

Prayer by Chie Yoshii

The winds of change are blowing

I can feel them gently pushing me away

Away from this barren trail

That led to nowhere but death and decay

I lay down my battle swords

A fruitless path of trying to destroy what I hate

Evicting mental freeloaders

Who will eventually see the truth far too late

Illuminate the way forward, I pray

Towards that which brings happiness and joy

Help me achieve what seems impossible

Let me swim up a rushing waterfall like the koi

Embrace by Chie Yoshii

I'm not so sure about romance

Think that dangling carrot might not be for me

I'm not so sure about friendships

I had to cut too many limbs from my tree

But you I welcome and embrace

The wise owl within who watches and knows

You I pull close to my hungry soul

The strong wolf whose blood in my veins flows

(Poem inspired by the image)

Dreams by Chie Yoshii

I close my eyes 

So I can see

From higher mind

And higher me

Inner guidance

From dream sight

Wisdom unlocked

Symbolic rite

Healing power

Sacred dream keys

Hidden language

To set me free
