The Art and Poetry of Rowan Banner

A new day,A new dawn.A new way,To be reborn. Breathe deep,Awaken slowly from sleep.There is no haste,There is no time to waste. Here now,In every heartbeat.Your soul is calling,Silence falling. God is listening,To your prayers.Through your words and hands,He is here on earth. Thoughts come,Words come,Actions come,And so the character grows. I am you,And you…

Today I wake twice,At 1:11 and now at 5:55.It is the 5th day of the 8th month.And year is 23. These times they are changing,But the numbers remain the same.My soul is seeing deeply,What it can and cannot control. Manifesting beauty,With prayers and affirmations.Embodying the love,That I wish to be. Yet in the this time,I…

The moment came,Out of nowhere.As I walked,Into the town square. No aim was there,No need or desire.Simply another day,It was a perfect way. Suddenly I saw all the people,With different eyes.All the shops and cars,Filling their desires. A drop fell from heaven,Not of water like rain.But a new light entered,An awareness that we are all…

We were born naked,And we will shall die naked,In front of God I cover myself,Simply to protect from His Light. In water,I am a baby,In my Mothers arms,I will always be naked and free. I stare at my wardrobe,I look sadly,At the worn out clothes.And rarely worn shoes. Each item was once there,To protect and…

Awakening at dawn,To a new day,Awareness rises,As light shines with golden rays. Words and stories fill my mind,But which are they,My own or from the sky,As letters fall like rain. God is here now,I feel his grace,Archangel Raphael,Has guarded this space. As last night we ate and drank,A christmas feast,With 8 friends by a fire,We…

Shake that old head,Away with the endless thoughts.The minds questions and answers,An endless binary code. Encoding ourselves,With each message and word.Copying and following the trends,Of this forsaken world. Like the story of a donkey and carrot,We chase after never ending dreams.Each being sold to us,With only one reason. To control and bring order,For us to…

Oh sacred body,Oh sacred home,You are so much more,Than skin and bone. A mold of clay,Filled with water and air,A vessel of life,For my eternal soul to share. I am born,I am born again.First in the waters of my mothers womb.Then from this nourishing cave,I am pushed into this world of air.Screaming I take my…

Like many great journeys,There is neither a beginning,Nor an end to this story. But I shall start at the end,Which is in many ways,Only the beginning. I feel much better now,I really do.Like twin flames of light,One red, one white. Our heart candles melt.Shining out into the skies,Reflecting an infinite space,Behind our eyes.Golden light flickers,Like…

When morning prayers are done, Golden light rises, Onto another beautiful day. And in our hearts, Love stays. To help guide our gracious way. With softly spoken words, Songs and dance. We give thanks to this creation, And celebrate our roles. The caretakers, The farmers, The teachers and cooks. We all complete this story, We…

Like a blossoming lotus flower, All thousand petals open full. We gaze at its colour and form, We linger in its sweet scent and beauty. But we know not the gifts, That each of its petals receives. As it faces upwards to the Sun, Receiving all the love of God. Each flower a reflection of…
