Emergence

Posted on by

As the caterpillar
we have emerged
from the egg as seekers

Having eaten our fill
of experience and knowledge
we wrapped ourselves
into the chrysalis
to digest and absorb

Now we’ve emerged
all aplomb as butterflies
reflecting the rays of light
with our delicate wings
ready to take flight
with the invitation
to allow the breath of Spirit
to lift you high
and fly into new realities
of Love and Joy.

Sing me Awake

Posted on by

Sing me awake oh fairies,
sing me awake into the brightness of the day,
into a higher consciousness,
into my playful childlike being,
into the delight of who I am.
Sing me awake.

Nature’s Quest

Posted on by

The mist of magic waft through the air
with whispers of mystical secrets.
The sacred fog wraps around me
in a blanket of infinite wisdom.

The foghorn sings its rhythmic dirge
taking me ever deeper.
Into the arms of my soul I dive
with complete lustful abandon.

The gulls overhead soar to and fro
drifting on the wind.
The sea laps upon the sand
caressing her sacred consort.

The sunbeams dance across the mist
creating delicate rainbows.
In one fell swoop the sun bursts forth
And the spell is completely broken.

But have no fear, it’s always here
the mists, the gulls and the sea.
Mother Nature is ever present
rocking us in her arms.

But it’s up to us to open our eyes
and see what once was hidden.
The truth of nature she holds dear
Always in abundance.

Now it’s up to us open our hearts
embracing all she offers.
Our partner in life she chooses to be
Are you open to receive her?

It’s up to us
to embrace all she offers.
As a partner in life
Are you open to receive her?

Open and receive her.
Open and embrace her.

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.

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.

I AM

Posted on by

I AM the mother who holds you close.
I am the father who guides you.
I am the sister who giggles with you.
I am the brother who protects you.

I AM the child you rock in your arms.
I am the puppy that nips at your heels
I am the neighbor that lives next door.
I am the waitress in the restaurant

I AM the sun that warms you.
I am the dark of night.
I am the moon that phases through your life.
I am the stars that twinkle overhead.

I AM the trees that sway in the wind.
I am the flowers that bloom at your feet.
I am the stone you skip across the sea.
I am the rainbow traversing your sky.

I am the words you speak
I am the songs you sing
I am the pictures you paint
I am al of creation.

I AM All-That-Is
I am present in everything
I am present in everyone
I AM you
together
We are All-That-Is.

Illusions

Posted on by

Illusions,
oh those illusions

Fear in its many forms
threatens our safety
harbors our anger
and alters our minds

Doubt stops us in our tracks
blankets our brilliance
veils our beauty
and stifles creation

Guilt overtakes us
fills us with sorrow
suffers us wounds
and closes our hearts.

Worry bleeds us dry
limits our options
smolders our passion
and steals our joy.

Illusions, oh those illusions
Why do we believe them?
Suffering pain
Closing our hearts
Giving up joy

Where lies our freedom
from all these illusions?

By opening our hearts
to find our wisdom and joy
Only then can we see clearly
through the illusions.

Illusions, silly illusions
Illusions, they’re simply illusions.

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.

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.

Language of Love

Posted on by

Words are not enough
for the language of love
words will never be enough
for the infinite presence of Love.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our hearts
warm and kind, filled with compassion
with its gentle embrace.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our joy
Love’s splendor knows no bounds
bursting forth with delight.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our soul
Love’s wisdom flows pure and simple
guiding us with grace.

Words can never be enough
until Love speaks through our breath
the breath of life, breath of creation
breath of all-that-is.

Words can never be enough
until we dip into the well of Love
flowing with passion
flowing with beauty
flowing with infinite bliss.

Words are not enough for the Divinity of Love
Words can never be enough
because the infinite Presence of Love simply is…
Love simply is …
