For You



I will hold the light, she said,
I will quietly sit by the bed
and through the day into the night
all will be lit
beside you.

And together
I know we will meet
those who come indeed to greet
you.
And still you sleep
as I,
gently weep into the dawning of a new day
so Farewell Dear One, you hear me say.

Gone with the flowers
to brighten all
comes the colourful Autumnal Fall
comes the beginning
following on
we all know
you tip-toed home.

There were all these years
you held the lamp
you kept the fires glowing
you expanded knowledge
turned endless pages
and became The Elder of the ages.

Hold quietly still until your calling.

From A Bird

So why did we not see, what was obviously
visible to the birds.

The birds who flew
who sang,
who knew,
who nested safely and fed their young,
who twittered quietly when the day was done
who sang to the skies from within shrubbery
who perched in the tree-tops with a view to the sea.

If only the bird of spirituality
was heard like words of clarity
to those who miss the brighter song,
who need life’s pain
to bring the rain
to cleanse the lands
to start again.

So quietly here I go…….

Greeting and Meeting






This one is for you
as I greet the day
and bring you through
as I meet our pain
and I feel melancholy
so release again.

As I stretch myself
on the inside
and lean in to
hide my depths
as I go each day
to extraordinary lengths
to know myself
and you
and over there too
and here in the hills
where I’ll live until
I go there
or next place where
it is only time
and there is only now
as here I am
learning how
to greet my shadow
and be the Light
as I feel radiance
and then dark night
as I go out further
and dive in deeper
as I wish I was a jasmine creeper.

The Light You Bring



“In you is all of Heaven.
Every leaf that falls is given life in you.
Each bird that ever sang will sing again in you.
And every flower that ever bloomed has saved it’s perfume and it’s loveliness for you.”

From ‘A Course In Miracles’ Text Chapter 25, IV The Light You Bring

Little Bird

I found a little blackbird
I folded up her wings
Oh little bird
I never heard
the song you had to sing.
 
I sat beside Plumbago
and said how sad it was
that Mother bird was searching
for the baby bird just gone
so we sighed and said goodbye
as the feathered soul had flown.
 
Be we here for long
or briefly so
we pass in light and heaven knows
to lead us over to rest awhile
Oh little bird I see you smile.

Pass It On

May your days be bright
and your heart be light.
May Love be in your life,
May hope be in your heart
May peace be in our world.

Wishing many Blessings to all.

When I received this beautiful New Year greeting from my friends at Deep Soul Connection in Glastonbury UK, I truly felt the simplicity and strength in this openly shared expression.


So as they say.... From them to me, and now to you 

"Please Pass It On"
 
 
In kindly ways let us all share.
