Rose of Sharon

Posted on by

Petals unfurl in the shimmering mist
in velvet folds, soft and rich
droplets of dew shine like pearls
on you, the rose of Sharon.

Your fragrance fills the air so sweet
wafting across hills and vales
in the rapture of morning’s light
you, the rose of Sharon.

It hasn’t always been this way
a life of velvet and sweet perfume
many a blossom failed to open
as the rose of Sharon.

Thorns appear where never planned
at the time it may bring tears
but in the end tears turn to dew
crowning the rose of Sharon.

Now your petals unfurl in the sun
dancing in the sway of the breeze
sweet and sensual, fragrant and free
you, the rose of Sharon.

You’re the rose of Sharon
a beautiful rose of Sharon
Love embodied, radiant light
a beautiful, beautiful rose.

Love embodied, radiant light
a beautiful, beautiful rose.
a beautiful rose of Sharon.

Through the Gate

Posted on by

Long nights, short days
transcend us deep into the mystical haze
where realms overlap and magic awaits
I hear my soul calling, “Step through the Gate.”

My quiet footsteps stir the light
that bursts around me amazingly bright
sprinkles of stardust fill the sky
and the child within me knows it can fly.

Memory’s a mystery that lives in our dreams
but the life we’re living isn’t what it seems
we’ve all been walking a fictional fate
outside the walls of our sacred garden gate.

Tune your ears and open your eyes
to the unseen world where the truth resides
an open heart is all that it takes
to enter the garden and step through the gate.

This garden is your home, no need to wait
you’re a creator and it’s time to create
your fingers are itching to express who you are
as pure Divine essence from the depth of your heart.

Rainbows of color and your pot of gold
no longer buried in the legends of old
the garden sings stories yet untold
where Love is eternal and abundance flows.

This is your story this is your life
spilling forth in wonder beyond your sight
this is your song, sing it with glee
because it’s everything you’ve wanted to be.

This is your story, this is your life
once you step through the gate of Love.

Sister Gaia

Posted on by

From the depth of the earth to the height of the mountains
From the turbulent sea to the gentle rain
From the dark of night to the brilliant sun
From the quiet stillness to the roar of the wind
It matters not, for I love it all.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I bring my love to you,
I love it all.

When I walk the earth love seeps from my feet
As I pocket special rocks along the path
I am a caretaker of plants and trees
Grateful to share their abundance
How much matters not, for I’m so grateful for it all.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I bring my love to you,
I love it all.

I roam with the animals open to their wisdom
Soar with birds free in spirit
I attune to the earth with my blessings of song
Playing in gentle harmonies.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I bring my love to you,
I love it all.

I’m very grateful, so very very grateful.
Oh my sister Gaia,
I love you so.

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.

Passages

Posted on by

 

Passages of time, passages of words
Passages of people, pass by you and I.

Passages of doubt, passages of tears,
Passages of pain, they too pass us by.
All these passages move us through our lives.

Passages of trust, passages of strength,
Passages of courage, support you and I.

Passages of love, passages of peace,
Passages of solace, woven through our lives.
All these passages the fabric of our lives.

Passages of wonder, passages of dreams,
Passages of magic, enliven you and I.

Passages of laughter, passages of song,
Passages of joy spiral through our days.

Passages, all these passages.
All these passages are the splendor of life.
