Transformation

I woke up in a strange monastery,
awaiting a morning meal....
reciting the five contemplations
were monks aplenty...
on this, I meditated quietly
the gift of food to come
will nourish my soul....
and complete my transformation....

The Promise

When I'm no longer earthbound,
I'll return to my true home,
surrounded by those I love,
for all time, no worries or concerns,
for this is the promise that awaits....

Lavish Reality

God is so lavish,
providing abundance,
He unfailing, true
omnipresent,
the substance of all,
the universe too....
He's the source,
infinite prosperity,
and love too,
the center of me,
there's no need
of any other reality...

Wait for it

God's language is silence
and unanswered prayers
veiled are these gifts
beyond comprehension
until the time is right...

04291996

Language

Language is a living thing,
with a life of its own,
beyond our control....
with time it morphs and grows,
meanings now will change,
what is hidden will be shown...

A sense of faith

Faith comes through hearing
let the birds sing to me
Faith comes through seeing
let the stars shine brightly
Faith comes through feeling
let the sun's light warm me
Faith comes through smelling
let the flower's aroma flow
Faith comes through tasting
let the sweet nectar flow

Fall and winter

Fall is upon us, change is in the air, green leaves give way to yellow and orange, and soon will fall to the ground to make way for winter. There's a chill in the air, and clouds hang lower, heavy with the rains they will bring. This is a season for introspection, to think of the peacefulness that winter will bring.

Be Clear

Let me hear
let me say
what I need
is my faith
to be clear
to me today

Be Humble, Create

When you realize
anything you write
or draw or dream
comes from within
despite your weaknesses
all our creativity
becomes more profound
and stands out
as a humbling activity

05011996

Morning Dew

This can't be the end
oh, I've so much to do
dreams still on the shelf
love letters left to send
another morning dew
let me not lose myself
can't I be me again?

Grow Better

Wisdom comes with patience,
discipline, and strength....
will follow hard times....
tested we grow better....

Strength

What I wanted
I never found
faith instead
came my way
patience too
tested I found
strength....

Bound

To the ones I love
letting you go
was how I held on
I bound you to me
giving my soul rest
fulfilled now

Trees Wisper

Listen to the trees
they're talking
if you just listen
you can learn a lot
they chatter on
about the weather
and much about time
of which they've seen
so so much....

03081996

Path of Love

Radical change awaits
breaking down completely
we can get there sure
so much easier though
if we take the path of love

05081996

Be Love

Celebrate, be love
set free to serve
knowing true meaning

05081996

Projected

Love takes me beyond
projecting me in time
where we'll find meaning
and become aware
of who and what we are

05081996

Company

Good company, together
we share experiences,
that transform today,
making it a memory....
we'll call it a ceremony,
or a tradition to share,
year after year,
until one by one,
we each depart,
or forget the company
we kept today...

Sunshine Waits

The door of time
soon to close for me
love once mine
there waiting for me
golden sunshine
shows the way to me

05091996

Hope

Hope, the great unseen,
where prayers are sent,
hard choices made too,
for better days do come

05091996

Good within

The divine
points us towards
the good within

Laundry

For some, laundry is ritual
a pathetic attachment to me,
for it's here I feel I'm in control

05111996

Wisdom

Life brings us wisdom

given to us by God

should we but listen

05131996

Bliss

You were precious
in your scarcity
you my daily wish
come back to me
bring me bliss

05131996

Empty Shell

I'm an empty shell
tossed about the shore
from the sea of memory
where I once lived
and dreamed of more
than days to fade away
with no stories left to tell

Enough

God shows us the way
we can choose to follow
or not, either way....
He's done enough.

05071996

Dare to be

Dare to be one
with the spirit
God's blessing
His gift of love

05071996

Awake

I've been unconscious
for oh so long....
out of touch, out of reach
behind a veil, hidden, blind
soon that will end....
dreams will take me
frontiers await....
the way home shown
there I'll awake

03071996

Work Together

In the ceremony of life,
we work together in love,
what other choice do we have
if we want the world to survive....

05091996

Join the dance

Join the dance
let spirits soar
this masquerade
brings flowers
and spring rains
to make the earth
new again...

02151996

Listen

Listen to the spirits of spring
when you're quite still
you can hear them sing
songs of love, songs that heal
nature give's us everything

02151996

Pink Hair

Shocking pink hair
pairs so well with
green eyeshadow
and silly hats
and April Fools
bring back my youth
days before despair
and forgetfulness
when I was still... me

02151996

Let's play

Angel's wings
stir the air...
soft is the aroma
left to caress me
let's laugh and play
in innocence
once again
it's peaceful today

02151996

Winter Rest

The earth ready
for her winter rest
soon she will sleep
not to stir for months
until the heavens
bring her spring
once again....
