Calling All Earth Weavers

As 2020 soon will be

calling all to clarity

calling all

to rise with constancy

to enrich our lives

to help others raise their eyes

to come together

to heal the earth with all our hearts

to open joy

to go within

to share our love

as greetings sail on the breeze

as prayer flags flutter through the trees

as feathered ducks float on the lake

as sunshine ripens corn

and all around

above, below and through the sky

let our creativity blossom

to weave the ribbons joining all

as we awaken, expand and gently see

the only way for us to be

living in a better world

is when we plant our seeds in fertile soil
water them with salty tears

and share new growth each present year.

The Bells Of Life Itself

As I go forth on this spring day
I look around and hear you say -
Go Forward
Plant the seeds
Listen Deeply
and lead the way
into the light of bright sunshine
into the grapes growing on vines
into the lands where fires are burning
into your heart where all is yearning
to break free 
to leave past history
and call to all
to open your hearts
and lift the spirits of withered souls
lend a hand and share your gold
know the earth is calling us
know the creatures too
do call to you
bring your essence  
share your soul  
ease the pain
reduce the toll.
Give all peace  
release, release, release
and pray for goodness on the breeze.

In The Going Came The Way

The frangipani shines today

and always do I look

and say

You are Superb.

You sweet precious fill my heart

and that is where I start

to say

I wish you'd never gone away

your love is with me 

everyday.

Your gentle way was lost.

We all regret the end,

when the beginning promised more

but shiny brochures

were lies upon the lies,

the 'undoing'

of you and I

who cried for help

who cried for care

who cried even being there.

But there we were,

me in the beginning

and you in the ending

and yet,

in a most startling way

it brought us to our unity,

you and I and me

'undoing' all for liberty.

You came from bud
with the colour of brightest gold
and yet so many days go by
before you find
we must both
go away
to begin again.

We fade in those days.
We sit in the sun
and mellow to a softer shade
and in the everglade of trees
we soften more,
become subdued,
give our most and share our essence
but where are we?

When we went we fell away.
So as days passed 
we lost our petals in broken-heartedness.
We heard them say
we love you
but you must go away
so you will have caring everyday.

Another petal falls to earth
it takes eternity to understand
un-learning was the only plan.

For finding you,
begin again.

The Little Tenor

Here come the blossoms

seen today

after the wildest winds

nearly blew them away.

I have not yet seen
 a leprechaun

in this lemon tree

but truly you and me
 do know

little helpers come and so

nine lemons did grow

through the winter season

when juicy fruit warmed our hearts

with much delight
 in each surprise

there before our eyes.

This is for Leslye 

 The Little Tenor, after 6 years

Is the tree singing

or is the leprechaun bringing

the fruits
 as proof of life?

Sweet Charity

There you are

my sweet dear friend.

You breeze in

like spring Lilac

 bringing charity here

caressing us with gentle cheer. 

I do cherish you.

Thank you sweet blooms

you fill the rooms

with gardens near and far,

with loved ones who are

no longer living in these fields

but are present

 in all Love that's real.

The Fairy Lights

In these

 fairy lights I see

all of you and a happy me

as blue and green

grow together

the little nature spirits sing

and I bring

their notes of joy today

with pretty flowers

 sent your way.

The Blue Of You

How beautiful

 to see into

the blue of you

 with all your lights

  glimmering.

 

Today On This And Every Day

Spirit is shining through 

and around our Earth

in every flower 

and little bird

  more light is here to share

so I know

Love is everywhere.

Sweet Daisy Days

When all the world

 goes around and round

 the butterfly

is still a while

beauty goes

where the daisies smile,

 silent blooms may sway
 as softness graces our day.

Our Everyday Place

Time does know

and time will tell,

the only place to always dwell

is in the space

that Love for all does embrace.

Memory

Remember when
you dressed my wounds
and told me then
you would always love
our times together
but that was never
what it seemed
as you were always
leaving.

And returning
but not really here.
You were bleeding
all over the place
and never facing
what was true,
never being the real you.

Sometimes you still
    call in
    to see
    what is going on with me.

Here today is my plea.
Hear me.
Stay a while
and listen
to my heart beat
come in closer
and really meet
Trust
Honesty
Tolerance
Gentleness

What Joy that would be
defenselessness for me to see,
generosity to give away
all you value here
and patience now and for all time,
faithfulness and an open mind.

If every word was ever heard
Love would sing
and light would bring
a truly wondrous way to be
living with simplicity.

I Heard A Long Gone Song

I have traveled

far away from myself

wherever I go

I will leave with the breeze

like a fallen 

heart-shaped leaf 

in the wind

I will

begin again

The Bridge

You know

we go 

with you.

Some days

when the grass is wet

our way 

is slow

to follow

as you walk ahead 

but all is known

though

 nothing is said

a candle lights above our heads.

Saint Francis Of Assisi Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that
     I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self 
     that we are born to eternal life.

              - Saint Francis of Assisi

Brighter Times Will Come Again

I am here to tell

Life is bright again

when we
courageously

 draw deeper

and rise 

through the skies.

  

Honouring E a s e

Why not you
 accept the fare

and fly back home

through the air

and that will be
thankfully
honouring the gift
of  E a s e


Then once back
 on southern ground
use some energy 
to physically
plant a circle of fifteen trees.

Dig the holes
in the country earth
and seed the future
 for there to be
more and more
 whispering trees.

As you create

this place to share

you have
 the joy to always be

rejuvenated
 among those trees.

Full circle to you
