Whole Again

My goodbye is near
gone the confusion
gone the endless fear
soon the conclusion
seventy aught years
ended in seclusion
all lost and forgotten
free from delusion
whole and unbroken
no more my dear

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...

Beach Walk

I am not afraid of tomorrows
as I put no restrictions
on yesterday....
and I still love.... today
the tide rushes in
to meet my footsteps
and carries them off the sand
I walk in order
to retrace our yesterdays
but leaving the sand fresh
of where I am today
free for tomorrow's lovers
it's getting dark,
and misty,
and cold, and I am locked in
with the darkness
into the depths
of what once was
you are not here
with me now
but your warmth
and closeness
engulf me....
the waves are crashing in
closer and closer
I'm enrapt in its movement
all the beauty of its being
the vastness
the constant flowing....
you are away from me now
but only your presence
for you are always with me
in my heart....
since you died

Our Reunion

My words and deeds are coming to an end. A past folded up and put away. This my pause, before passing into other realms, new explorations, old faces waiting for our reunion.

A movement in time

I find little peace
in this in between
waiting in silence
clothed in confusion
the days pass slowly
each another goodbye
a movement in time

Release the dead

In closure, bring it forth. Write a letter. The issue is not that the other person read the letter, the issue is for you to have the opportunity to express what you are feeling. Today I surrender, I release, I detach from every person, every circumstance, every condition, and every situation that no longer serves a Divine propose in my life. Today I release the dead.

Allowing Release

Death, like separation, divorce, or the abrupt termination of any kind of relationship, evokes a tremendous amount of emotion that must be released. The release results in closure. When you do not you wonder, you hurt, the whys to unanswered and eventually create anger and fear.

More importantly, when there is no closure, you miss the lessons and the blessings. You are never really sure why this person was in your life, what you shared to your benefit, what you learned about yourself, and why you are better off, better equipped to move on to new and more productive relationships. We're only robbed by death if we don't allow ourselves closure.

Released

Death, like separation, divorce, or the abrupt termination of any kind of relationship, evokes a tremendous amount of emotion that must be released. Let it go, and you'll grow.

05271991

Incomplete

I needed closure. When you do not have the opportunity to express what you are feeling at the close of a relationship, the relationship is incomplete. It does not matter that the other party is no longer living, without closure in any relationship the people involved feel incomplete. Closure brings things to an end.

Illness

God does not send illness and affliction. We do this to ourselves. Individually we need to question why we feel a need of punishment. What guilt are we harboring? Why do we abuse ourselves physically?

It too can be a lesson if we listen and learn from it. God loves us all equally, and does not burden us will illness, we choose the sickness whether it be physical or mental. Illness is a form of fear and belief.

If you can seek out the fear, you can release the cause and find the cure. Fear is a denial of the reality of God. The soul leaves the body when it is ready. Illness is not necessary. Human consciousness has a great power to heal if we listen to it.

Unfortunately some souls do not wish to be heald. Only our own desire can heal. Love can heal but again we must allow it. We have but to accept the Divine Spirit and wholeness. Death is not an excape from life but a continuation of the growth process.

What we have not learned in this lifetime will come back to visit again. Life and death are but a swinging door. There is nothing to fear in the universe, certainly not death, so do not fear to live, truly live, in full conscious awareness.

We can find peace, light, love, and well-being here on earth through prayer and meditation. To be here in your entireity, in a completeness, and oneness, with God is to truly live in a level of more intense existence. To be free. Once you are filled with the true sense of self, you recognize the oneness of all things ane are one wtih God.

You touched my life

Because we are all composites
of experiences, mistakes
accidental happenings
we live not just one life
but many....
as we keep evolving
and developing into.... something
someone new
sometimes things we love
and touch....
things that have touched us
must move on
and it's just wonderful
otherwise can you imagine
all the people you had ever met
and who had influenced you
in some small way
were around you....
how smothered you would be
I've been very, very blessed
to live the life I have lived
and still to feel as I feel....
that my life is just beginning
for I learned long ago
to count lifetimes in days,
and each new day
is a new beginning
to look at each new day
you see
as the first and the last....
as if blindness
were to arrive with the sunset
is to extract the fullest gratifications
from the moment
and to live in wonder
that one such as I
have been given the privilege
of seeing such majestic beauty
if we look for the gift
in each moment
and all we meet
and allow it to touch the soul of us
to become a part of us,
some minute quantity....
that is a composite of what we are
because you have touched me
in some small way
you too are now within
part of what makes me.... me
there's not one thing in my life
I would undo, not one
because look at who I am
I am so grateful
to be who I am....
so uniquely me,
to have laughed a lot
because I enjoy life,
to have been greatly loved
and to have loved greatly,
to have cared deeply,
to have cried....
I hope that I too
have influenced others
to have touched some chord
respondent in them
to have made someone laugh
when they were down,
to have given love
when someone was empty,
to have been a friend....
and thus to forever be a part
of what and who they are...
for then even when my life ends
what I am will go on and on
a sort of immortality
of being....

Meet the divine

Standing at the portal
willingness and perfect timing
still my heart in silence
breath held, imagination soars
it's time for me
to meet the divine

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?
time is short, not much left
big plans and dreams
are for days gone past
so, are you happy now?
soon you'll breathe your last...

Ripples

I want to live a life where the contributions I make, the work that I do, the purpose I am serving, will have a lasting effect on humanity. I don't want to live, die, and be forgotten. I want to be remembered, I want to be cherished, I want to know the profound depths of love. These are the rewards of service to others that we may never know in this lifetime, so we can only hope that our work and contributions made in love will affect people for the better, and that we leave behind ripples of good that carry on into eternity.

At my day's end

My density of day
now past and fading
freeing me to journey
into the waiting unknown
at my day's end

Shadows of forgetting

The shadows of forgetting grow
and cause me to believe the light
is now residing somewhere else
and not within until it goes out

04151991

At last

The planet dissolves
into light we pass
beyond regret, free
ahead is love, and rest
freedom and peace
at last....

07081995

Already There

Birth to death
home to home
we find ourselves
explore
with willingness
seek and you'll
set yourself free
to find
what is already
there....

Does life go on?

Does life go on
beyond this one
do stunning fields
flowering brightly
from seeds sown
in this fading life
await me....
or is the future
just a dark abyss

New Self

My other selves
known before
I forgot them
in passing I cry
mother and child
once was I
forgive my sins
let me come ashore
as my new self
on the day I die
