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.
