Bring Me Home

Posted on by

All my life I’ve been searching
wandering here and there
forever reaching out
looking for true love

What I’ve found has been illusive
here and then gone
oh where is the love
I so desperately need?

Then one day in my search
I saw myself in you
and my heart opened wide
revealing the truth

Love’s never been illusive
it’s been here all along
I’ve been searching way to hard
for what’s always been within

So bring me home
where I’m loved
home for evermore
home to live
deep within my heart

Now love abounds in my heart
and nurtures my true self
No limits, no conditions
pure freedom to express

All my dreams rest here
in the window to my soul
Awaiting to be embraced
and brought into the world

Wisdom lies in my heart
simple and profound
It’s all here within me
everything I need

With my heart at the helm
love just clears the way
And life opens to the max
and floods me with joy

In my heart I wanna live
every moment of the day
If I stray, bring me home
Home, back to my heart.

Lingering in the Void

Posted on by

Allowing yourself
to linger
in your inner void
and emptiness
opens the door
for your soul-passion to enter
as a constant undercurrent
of quiet joy.

Wings of the Soul

Posted on by

The Soul lives in grace
suffers no pain
is free of judgement
and knows not of failure nor defeat

Can you relax and allow “what is”
to be the wings that carry you
beyond that which is challenging
rather than praying to change it?

For the soul knows
what the human does not
Allow those wings
to carry you through.

Soul’s Desire

Posted on by

The soul’s desire is to experience
just for the sake of experiencing

It has no need to validate itself
for it is already complete
in the knowing that it exists

The soul takes everything
the human experiences
distills it into its pure wisdom
drinks it all in and
falls more deeply in love with itself
again and again and again
with every new experience

The intrinsic passion of the Soul
is to experience the eternal fullness of life.

Dark Night of the Soul

Posted on by

There is no
dark night of the Soul

For the soul
has never devolved
into the polarity
of dark vs light

There is only
the dark night of the human

The human suffering
within the darkness
of its own judgments
of right vs wrong

Until the human awakens
to the call of the Soul
transcending duality
to experience
the freedom
of the Soul.

Song of New Earth

Posted on by

New Earth
no longer an illusion
a dream from afar
now fully present
right here where we are

New Earth
abundant with blessings
of all that she brings
enlivening our dreams
with the song she sings

New Earth
in her bountiful glory
created by you and I
has spread her wings
inviting us to fly.

Quietude

Posted on by

During this time
of sacred quietude
I’m incessantly drawn
more deeply within

Effortlessly traversing
one reality into the next
via wee silken sliding boards
through portals of time

’Tis experiences
of bright new worlds
offering colorful glimpses
of infinite potentials

Tossing my soul the reigns
for what lies ahead
I know not where
I know not when
simply trusting my heart to guide.

The Soul Steps In

Posted on by

How many roles
have you created for your self
living them out to abide by
what has been expected
of you by others?

How many times
have you lost your self
in the belief that
those roles are truly
who you are?

Until the overwhelm
of maintaining the roles
of who you are not
amidst the noise of the audience
becomes too much to bear

Feeling compelled to step off
the time worn stage
out of the costumed role
that was never yours
you step into the arms of silence

From within this silence
your sacred Soul steps in
pouring forth your true essence
with a joyous passion for life
inviting you to create anew.

Harbingers of Truth

Posted on by

During a lunar eclipse. . . .
As the earth casts its shadow
blocking the light of the sun

Humanity is exposed
to the plethora of falsehoods
hidden within its folds

It is here that we pause
going deep within our hearts
seeking clarity for the truth

Then Behold, the sun bursts forth
and the shadows of deception
give way to the truth of the Light

Reminding us that:
It is by shining our Light
that WE are the harbingers of Truth.

Hands Together

Posted on by

When feeling unsure
or conflicted
bring both hands together
in front of your heart

Herein lies the melding
of heart and mind
the transcendence of duality
and the wisdom of the soul.
