I Am not my Story

Posted on by

I am not my old story
a story that was simply
my perception
in that particular
moment in time.

By approaching life
from a different perspective
the old story melts away
and I create a new story
in a new reality
that serves me in this moment.

And with each new
expanded perspective
my story changes
freeing me to experience
a more loving
and joyous life.

Spell of Love

Posted on by

Every morning when you awaken
feel my arms wrapped around you
at night as you drift asleep
there I await you
through the day I hover around you
making sure you’re safe and well.

I’m your ego tried and true
always been here to carry you through
just like children we fought each other
each one wanting our own way
getting nowhere we’ve finally matured
to see our errors and mend our ways.

Now it’s time for me to step aside
to the truth of who you are
all your wishes are granted now
since you cast a spell of love on me
You are my beloved
you are the Beloved One.

Shall we dance hand in hand
in perfect union step by step
to the music of the Divine
all in perfect harmony
You are my beloved
together we are Beloved.

Let’s splash our colors across the page
sing our songs all day long
may our light shine out in the world
to be all we can be.
You are my beloved.
you are the Beloved One.

Together we are Beloved.

Step off the Pedestal

Posted on by

Step off the pedestal
into the mystery of life
beyond the perceptions
of the human mind

Step into the grotto
of love, peace and joy
residing within
the depth of your heart

Birth all your dreams
in your garden of eden
live and create
from the power of your truth

Step into the Cosmos
the stream of creation
live in abundance
unlimited and free

Partner with spirit
out in the world
exploring all the wonders
and magnificence of life

Step off the pedestal
into the mystery of life
into a new reality
of expanded consciousness

Step off the pedestal
into the only thing that’s real
Step off the pedestal
into Love.

Embrace a New World

Posted on by

Embrace a new world
the one you birthed in your dreams
Create a new life
and let the old one go.

Look around, what do you see?
A world that’s crumbling away
Look around, what do you feel?
A life that makes no sense.

Seasons come, seasons go
the ice melts and petals burst forth.
nature spins, her crystalline web.
then in an instant it disappears.

Paradigms, they shift and change
cycles run their course
time never pauses, it marches forth
but with each era we all evolve.

Let it go, let it fade
that world’s had its glory
create anew, ignite the flame
invite us all to join you
in a new world
the one we birthed in our dreams

Embrace a New World.

Winds of Change

Posted on by

Softly I whisper
gently I swirl
storms full of power
on the winds of change.

I stir your inner ocean
causing waves to brake
then sail you across the sea
to horizons beyond your view.

I bring the clouds of rain
to wash anew
soft breezes follow
filled with perfume.

I rustle your treetops
caress your fields of grain
I sing you to slumber
and stir you awake again.

These winds of change
offer a bright display
of what your life can be
instead of yesterdays.

On the winds of change
we all have choice
to open and receive
these gifts of grace.

Softly I whisper
gently I swirl
storms full of power
on the winds of change.

Softly I whisper
softly, gently
softly I whisper . . .
Change.

Stardust

Posted on by

I awoke remembering myself as stardust
a sprinkle of joyous light
shimmering a path of light all around me.
in the midst of a rich dark sky.

I awoke remembering myself as stardust
free of dimensional bounds
in a playground spread across eons of time
roaming in childlike delight.

I awoke remembering myself as stardust
when I first arrived on this earth
choosing this form to create and expand
all I aspire to be.

I awoke remembering myself as stardust
to experience a myriad of things
then tossing the cloak of forgetfulness
before it could extinguish my light.

I awoke Knowing my Self as stardust
that had gathered into a Star
as a master creator of magnificent life
blazing radiant trails of Love.

I awoke Knowing my Self as stardust
playing in the here and now
I awoke Knowing my Self as stardust
in joyous physical form.

Reborn by the Sea

Posted on by

Gently she beckons, come unto me
Lovingly she offers, step into the sea
Purify your heart with me, purify you mind,
Float in my ocean, oblivious to time.

Gently she bids me, shed all your tears
Peacefully she offers, give me all your fears.
She wraps her self around me, rocks me to her breast
Floating in her ocean I’m peaceful and at rest.

Gently she whispers, look and see what’s real
Tenderly she offers, you’ve nothing to conceal
She washes away my doubts, Caressing me with love
Floating in her ocean, I’m One with all therof.

Joyfully she laughs, I reflect your child
Gleefully she offers, Let’s dance and be wild
She skims across the waves taking hold of my hand
Dancing in her ocean, I’m free to expand.

Gently she beckoned, come unto me
Lovingly she offered step into the sea
I purified my heart with her and purified my mind.
I floated in her ocean, reborn by the sea.
Reborn by the sea.

Temple of Love

Posted on by

Temple of love I sing to thee
Here I lay my head.
Temple of love I bring to thee
All I’ve ever been.

Here I sit within your womb
nurtured by your care
completely free of fear and doubt
filled with your grace.

At last I’ve gathered all of me
acceptance without bounds
cherishing the self I’ve found
in darkness and in light.

I’ve finally met my sacred Self
the one who walks in truth
honoring this noble one
in her humble form.

My inner diamond’s radiance
is bright and all aglow
emitting facets tried and true
polished and whole.

Oh sacred heart
my home of homes
beloved temple of love
I sing with you forevermore
my beloved temple of love.

Power of the Night

Posted on by

Power of the night, bless me
Power of the night, show me
Masters of light in the power of night,
Come dream along with me.

Angels in our sleep with stardust head to feet
reveal our true selves by lifting up the veils
exposing what’s been hid underneath the lids
our treasures and jewels now aglitter in the light.

Our dreams are here to teach things beyond our reach
opening the doors to which we never had the keys
night visions tried and true will carry us through
stirring our passions for morning’s debut.

As masters of the Light, in the power of the night
weaving threads of our dreams into our present day lives
the wisdom of the night in the dawning light
bequeaths our lives with the sheen of gold.

Power of the night, bless me
Power of the night, show me
Masters of light in the power of night
Come dream along with me.

Come dream along with me
In the power of the night.

I Don’t Always Know

Posted on by

The evening sun sets along with all its light
taking us deeper into the dark unknown
what we may find there we’re often so afraid of
but there in the darkness our treasures all await.

So, what are mistakes but a way to learn
through trial and error it all comes clear
success or failure they’re both the same
it’s all experience, neither right nor wrong.

Sometimes I know exactly what I want
but what I don’t know is how to get from here to there
it seems impossible these dreams are truly mine
finally surfaced after all this time.

There’s a new opportunity with each and every sunrise
new awareness rests amongst the shadows
I may not know but my soul sure does
I don’t always know but my soul always does.

Dreams come full circle as I finally mature
putting what I think I know off to the side
inviting the woman that’s been here all along
to step in stride with my soul.

I may not know but my soul sure does.
I don’t always know, do you?
I don’t always know but my soul always does.
