Embrace the process
Petal by petal unfold
Glow through to your core
New
Is this what’s new for you?
A new year?
A new month?
A new day?
Well I have news for you!
What’s new is much more frequent
It’s the freshest newest thing there is!
It’s here and then here again
And before it’s gone
Its almost here again!
‘What?!’ you ask
It’s breath!!
There!
And there!
And there again!
See?
New every time
Can’t stop it even if you try!!”
“Why is it new?” You ask
Because it brings a new moment
A new opportunity
Never a repeat.
Just like a first kiss
The morning sunrise
A child’s first step
Don’t wait for the occasion
Don’t want for a change
Inherent in each breath
Is the unseen truth,
Each one precious
Each one only for you….
That’s what’s new!
So enjoy your New Year
Your new month
Your new day
Your new moment
The one that comes
With each New Breath…
Christmas Fulfilled
Great tidings awaited
The King did come
The people did sing
Glory proclaimed
She sits alone
Her inner Kingdom reigns
Oh what fortunate
The crown beheld
Encrusting gems
Gratitude and love
Shimmering now
Inside and out
Thanks are inherent
From the fullest heart
Brimming and flowing
With riches undreamt
Boundless reciprocation
This endless love
Mercy, mercy
For this is her Heaven!
Lover’s Arms
What is your lover’s kiss?
The meeting of two
A spot of tenderness
Somewhere to express…?
What is your soul mate’s shoulder?
Somewhere to rest
A strength to lean on
A place to let go…?
What are those loving arms ?
Steel bars for protection
Great cranes to carry your troubles
Comfort for you to lay in…?
But where is that one lover?
The one that stays when all others have come and gone
The one who loved you before you knew you where loved..
Close your eyes, go within
Feel the kiss of life as each breath comes
Lean on that shoulder as the outside dissipates
Know those carrying arms as weightless you become..
Your one true lover
Resides within and beside you
In your one true lover’s company
There are no woes
In your one true lover’s arms
You know you are home…..
Love Breeds Love
Undeniable!
Indisputable!
Irrefutable!
Wholesomely possible!!
When the sun is out
Even the blind can feel it
When the big band plays
Even the deaf can hear it
When the gale wind blows
Even the most sturdy sway
When your heart is touched
Love rolls like a stream
Feeds all the shoots around
And everyone gets to smile
Love breeds love
And that’s just
Undeniable!!!
True Friendship
When familiarity is not just comfortable
But holds intrigue and excitement
When comfort is not just being relaxed
But inspires belonging and respect
When intrigue is not just the unknown
But builds to expand growth
When excitement does not fizzle
But leads to new heights..
This is finding
One’s home
This is finding one’s friend
Simple
Invite love’s beauty
Enjoy delicate presence
Gratitude immense
Light
Sun shines light of day
Moon reflects light of night
Love brings light of life.
Sun
Warms and nurtures growth.
Moon
Transparent yet illuminates the way.
Love
Powerful and vanquishes darkness.
Such are the faces of light
All in plain
And obvious sight.
Yet so easily forgotten
In all our fright.
Takes but a moment
To glance up into the sky
Day or night.
Takes just one breath
To be present and feel
The power of love within.
This little lamp
Your light within
Burns from your start
To your very end.
It is your nearest friend
Your dearest companion
Ultimate confidant
Most protective warrior.
Such is your lamp
With just a little attention
Will light all your days
And even your nights.
Two Hearts in One Frame
Mechanically supreme
Guarded by boney bars
Cushioned by spongy sacs
Sits the organ of the heart
Vessels entwining
Chambers pumping
Valves snapping
Fluid flowing
All operations
24/7
Ghost or twin
Yet Another heart
Lays deeper still
So deep
For some it’s never found
It yearns a cry
To be acknowledged its there
Wanting a freedom
To dance and praise
Revealing its secret
To love unconditionally
The very one it inhabits
It is true
We were granted
Two hearts
In one frame
Do you know them both
Have you befriended them equally
One
You cannot live without
The other
You have not lived until you have found
Find your heart
Dig out of its cage
Wear on your sleeve
And shine like a star
As love
Will then surely illuminate
And darkness
But shrink away!
Fire and Fury!!!
Zestfully we charge around
Feeling all so important
Stomping to get our so called missions accomplished.
Any little obstacle
Oxygenates the sleeping embers of discontent,
With ignition triggered
The flames dart in every direction
Greedily collecting any fuel
To justify the road taken
And warrant the complaint and fury…
But there is another fire
A fire with embers soft and calm
With flames that comfort and heat
With light that draws you to home
However, even this fire will roar
And when it does, there is no fear
For the roar is the heart’s cry of knowing that true power is present…
The choice is there
Which fire to fan
Which heat to feel,
Demonic and destructive
Or rescuing and restorative.
Look around
Then look within.
Find the fire
That brings love not fury
That brings comfort not fear
And can never be put out.
