Hearts And Flowers

This posy brings peace
from the sun, the earth and rain
in our times when
life may never be the same
but as we look upon
these shy flowers and leaves
we witness empathy
for the souls
who quietly passed away,
for those remaining who pray today
for grace
to gently, kindly lead the way.

A Deeper Seeing

In contemplation
I pray for love and grace
for those known and unknown to me
and then I see.

You by the waters edge
forgotten words
your forgotten pledge
as you say
I will love you forever.

That was the start
and that was the end
as emptiness
was there.
Where were you?
I see through now.

'Peace to my mind.
Let all my thoughts be still.' *

Let Love come, and words go
let the tide ebb and rivers flow
let kindness bloom as flowers grow
let angels on this day
row that ancient boat away.

Blessings and peace.

What The Beautiful Crocus Told Me

We have arrived

 to greet you.

We have arrived

 to share

an expanding

 sense of community,

we hope spreads every-where.

If all the world

was changed to save

 good health,

we trust more come,

to see within, 'we are all one'.

Family upon family,

are like us.

A circle of soul companions

growing into

 the new possibilities.

We crocus are delicate.

We come through the soil,

 for a brief time,

before

 returning into the earth.

 Blessings and grace for well-being.

Opening To More Abundance

"Why am I always so prosperous and abundantly blessed?"

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.
