The Stillness Within The Storm: A compilation of whispers

By Mark Osmer

The Stillness within the Storm is a unique compilation of two poetry collections;

Warrior and Angel and Lands beyond the Sunset.

The assembled poems stir the mind, light up the spirit, energises the body and touches the soul.

Deeply personal observations on life’s vibrant journey, the whispers are inspired by love and loss, hope and wonder, resilience through adversity, strength, emotional power and creating thoughts.

A companion to spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing, influenced by a strong affinity to Native American culture, philosophy and teachings through an awakening and deepening understanding of the oneness and connection with natural laws, and with all beings.

This book is medicine for the soul.

SIMPLICITY

WARRIOR AND ANGEL

DAYBREAK WARRIOR

Daybreak warrior, guardian of the dawn,

Stands forever peaceful, the calm before the storm.

Rushing winds carry wet grass scent,

Rain dance called, Great Spirit sent,

Eagles spiral high above the rainbows arched domain,

Indigo rattle dancing, rich laughter in the rain,

Mother Earth`s sustaining water, delivered by cool showers,

Transforms red desert sands, into a sea of purple flowers.

****

INDIGO ANGEL

Indigo angel, so sure but uncertain,

What glories lie behind the purple curtain,

Draw it aside and cast all doubt away,

Let the sun shine on your healing pathway,

Rockets and fireworks, explode upon high,

As angels celebrate at the edge of the sky,

A lone warrior waits, and will always be there,

Guided to you, by the Great Spirit bear.

****

FOREVER ONE

Lone warrior reached out to an angel’s hand.

In a dark and desperate hostile land

Fought long, with her at his side,

On that bleak, wild, moonlit mountainside,

Exhausted and bloodied, he held her so tight,

As the suns probing rays, signalled first light.

In silence, they kissed and wiped tears from their eyes, The angel departed, flew back to the skies,

A warrior lay down, whispered in pain,

When will I see my angel again?

****

Love and fight for her as you once did for me,

Try every door in the house of dreams,

When you discover the locked one,

You know who holds the key.

****

Many dream but few become,

Warrior and angel, forever one,

Great Spirit bear beats the shamans drum,

Through vision smoke, he calls, she comes,

Walk the red path, towards the rising sun,

Warrior and angel, forever one.

****

REMEMBRANCE DAYS

Their faith in me I couldn’t keep,

Painful memories linger deep

They followed, where once I led,

No more tomorrows for yesterday’s dead.

****

Shaman leads me to a place, all warriors long to go,

Where the red sun sets on golden mountains,

      no wind of pain ever blows,

Sat beside pure crystal fountains in the shade of mighty trees,

An Angel whispers healing to the warrior who wants to be.

****

I silently called, you unconditionally came,

A beautiful stranger with an angel’s name,

You healed and more, now I dream for two,

To walk life`s abundant shores, vibrant and renewed.

****

SHAMANS WAY

Shaman knows my thoughts and dreams,

Heals me in ways unseen,

Radiant in purple bright,

Guides me back into the light,

Angel from the fallen sky,

Taught the warrior how to fly.

****

Eagle’s nest,

Warriors rest,

Angels dream,

See but unseen,

Cloaked in green,

Bubbling stream,

Light and bright,

Mystical delight.

****

She rides ahead with painted face,

To signal victory,

For she healed the wounds,

That others could not
