Little Friendly Frog

Little friendly frog

I love to see you

clinging there to the pot-plant

you have chosen,

hiding in the planter pot

up on the potting table

I wonder how you are able

to leap that high to find this place

and every night you leave to go

somewhere else I do not know

as I am indoors, away from frost,

and then there you are to say ‘Hello’

another morning brightly shows

you are here to stay in my garden,

a place we obviously both do love

as heaven is and lives above.

The Freedom In the Setting Free

You know the reason and the cause

stored

therein your cells

and in a place you sometimes dwell

which is the past and now it’s time

to let your body become free

releasing tension naturally.

When you feel it building

that is when, to let it go and begin again

by finding the courage to surrender

release the emotions there within

repression never serves to bring

any wellness to yourself

and if you think it has all passed

you may find surprises break through at last

and all the tension in muscles and joints

rises high to rejoice

and all the pain in that moment

is not to last, it is heaven sent

so that you will finally see

the freedom in the setting free.

The body knows

when moving-on has not been clear

and old hurts have gone,

not disappeared.

The way of burying expression way below

is not a remedy to restore health

it is underneath the old

and rises high, truth be told

when there are triggers of times gone by

packed in your pockets

or muddy creeks that never flow

to clear the bundle of old loads.

Just work it through as it comes up

and life will bloom like a buttercup.

To live the peace we must release

every thing that no longer serves us,

every pain and emotional stress

let them go, then you will know

the peace and pleasure when

your living cells relax again.

The Answer Comes

We are going where? she said to him

as they were returning

to a questioning time they have had before

and asking where they will explore?

We continue on this sunny path

and when it’s cool we are by the hearth

home-fires burning

marshmallows toasting

and all the while

and all along

we will find ourselves and sing our song.

We have the music and the time

to waltz along, we’re doing fine

but if you think the beat’s too slow

then we will talk again and you let me know.

Well it is that my clock is ticking

and I know the song is singing,

the country ball is a’rocking

and the country hall closes just after midnight

so let’s pick up pace and whirl along

there is a Cinderella story

with music and most glorious lyrics

if we can dance in step

the life that comes will bring delight

and every day follows night.

Every answer comes in time

and every question may be asked

but every story doesn’t last

and every day there is a choice

and every opportunity

may bring rejoicing

or a way to choose again

so live the moments as they pass

as love is all that every lasts.

So the way ahead is what is there

and living life we come to share

all our hearts to sing the harmony

all our trust to set us free

all our love to simply be.

So yes the answer comes along

and yes the strength comes when we’re strong

and yes the joy is in the asking

and yes the love is everlasting.

Merrily go through each day

love your Self and love to say

all that comes I am grateful for

and I will go with you through that door.

So there we have the answer clear

every day fills a year

and every year it  is becoming clear

be yourself and let it be

wisdom, truth and clarity.

Fare Well

Very many 'say goodbye' in this world,
but very few
say "Goodbye"

Message in the storm,
whirlpools of flooding rain.
Will we meet again?

Freedom

Freedom is the opportunity of openness

Let This Moment Be The One

Martin Luther King and Thich Nhat Hahn

Are we inside worlds or outside worlds

or the world beyond where we belong

do we walk one way and float another

is there one of us or all other

is the time just now

our only way to live and say

let this moment be the one

whatever world we are walking through

there is I and me

and you

and we are here to be the most

to share our love from coast to coasts.

Seeing the Silver Lining

Clouds come and go
and so do we
seeing the silver lining
may set us free.

Sweet Precious Poppy

Two Little Poppies

Now I’m travelling along

comfortably

and delighted most certain

to now be pain free.

And I am grateful for all

the ways I learned

the guidance and gifts

and some grace that I earned

but now what I see

and know in my heart

my little hound Poppy, was my shining star.

She popped up each morning

and settled each night

her heart was the shining

that kept my world bright

and now as I hear she has ‘entered’ from Spirit

her dear face looking up, and her tail always wagging

and her golden glow

is oh so

luminous.

I treasure my time with my little friend

who took on my pain

to carry it away

and now I feel free

and see

there’s more to this world

than one step, then two

of a shuffling whirl.

She came with a bounce

and so much life

and she left after twelve years

one sunny bright morn

and I must go on, and be not forlorn.

Our animal companions

share all we are

and serve with their love

until they return above

but now she comes occasionally

and I am heartened indeed

to ‘see and be seen’.

Spiral Dancing

As we wandered outdoors

in the warm Autumn air

two monarch butterflies delighted me

by spiral dancing above our heads,

joyful moments were indeed immense.

I was walking through

red and pink Valerian blooms,

and carrying Bobby, the woolly-fella

when Poppy energy surrounded the space

as these butterflies then circled us

and I was in awe of how close they came

and stayed to play for a long time.

It was just what I needed to lift and inspire

as a few minutes before I was weeping some tears

and thinking of her,

as I saw the Viburnum near her grave

was looking healthy with new buds

soon to be blossoming after the rain.

This verse is a tribute to my little hound dog Poppy who went to spirit last September, and I posted a verse on Fully Faithfully, September 30, 2013, which was called "Hoping to Save a Potted Plant"

Here-in lies the same plant, soon to blossom. 

A Rose Angel Within The Rose Posy

A Rose Angel Illustrated by Ethelwynne M Quail, as seen clairvoyantly by Geoffrey Hodson. The Kingdom of the Gods

A posy of roses,

rosebuds softly pink,

all on one stem

reaching above

as an abundant display,

there in their beauty to call forth the day.

Without any fragrance

they grow in this heat

and their gift, I remember,

comes in the following days,

as a subtle fragrance

that does amaze.

I wonder why that may be,

probably, as the temperature here

has reached 43,

so my goodness I am feeling hot now

with thirteen days over 40

in this season so far

I withdraw indoors to my calm within,                             

as if I were a rose with a treasured scent,

sheltering from the wind

until the milder days came,

then opening my buds

for the butterflies, returning again.
