Your home was a nest

Your home was a nest,

your home was a haven

I returned to after my travels…….

yes, I returned to you to unravel.

Your home it was soft

with the fragrance of flowers

and I rested in feathers

the depth of your love,

I rested with you for hours.

And now I am above

in the heavenly Love

and now I am here in the clouds.

Like feathers soft,

in this nest aloft

there’s a landscape lying around you…..

Walk over the hills,

and continue until

you find the mossy ledge.

Sit down there and rest

for your upcoming test

we will be beside the path.....

It is an open plan

to the close of that time,

balance and harmony follow,

so be like a bird,

be like a swallow,

dip and soar in the breeze……..

you will follow your heart

and know in your soul

this test is the one big challenge

so graft onto the old,

the new growth is blooming

this life is about believing……..

When you do and show,

you will write and tell,

you will share from the heart of your centre,

your nest is your haven,

your heart is now golden

your life is free for the living

when you let go of fear,

expand your beliefs

and know that life is for giving.

There is no ship on my arm,

just a bird in the nest

and heavenly love above

as I soar through the sky

old fears are just sighs

and I live in the moment just shining.

My nest and my heart

are open to start

to share my silver linings.

If I were a bird

and my home was a nest

this would be my place in the storm,

and now I am free,

to finally see

every cloud is a nest of redemption

every fear is not worth a mention.

We are All One

So I Will Write You A Song

It’s twenty-five years on

so I’ll write you a song

in lieu of the poem

that long since has gone……….

........I did write the lyrics for a simple country ballad/waltz, which is waiting for the miracle of musical composition...... acoustic guitar, with sounds of yearning mandolin and Dobro steel-resonator. So wait a while and I will share them with you....

However, the following verses came to me at the same time.

Came a message for me

from heaven above

I loved you My Dear

I loved you My Love

you shone in my life

like a blue wren in a nest

you were someone I cherished

like a fabric handbag

always happy to see you

so happy and sad.

Happy because you were warm and sincere

sad because to me it was clear

you were the heart

and you were the soul

you were the one

who helped me feel whole

but I kept you

at a distance my Dear

because of my love

and because of my fear.

I carried the handbag,

the handbag of you

I never had notes

I only had coins.

I’ll pick you a daisy

a daisy a day

I pick you a daisy

until the wind blows away.

If ever the sunshine

ceases to beam

I will bring you a handbag

from a soft velvet ream.

It is just a start of what’s in my heart.

It is golden

it’s yellow

it’s time to be mellow

it’s time to rejoice

you now have a voice.

The voice is yours

it has come up from within

it is time to start

it is time to begin

so here I am

on this cool Summer night

sharing with you

my new found delight

just singing my song

and there will me more

more songs from heart

I will birth from within

and I on the inside

play music and sing.

I need the musician

to bring melodies

to carry the lyrics

like a warm summer breeze.

Invoking The Real Me

My red flower is blooming,

I see it smiling in the sunshine

waltzing in the breeze.

so happy to be itself

while all the while it’s growing,

just being true

all the way through

from petals down to roots

and I delight

to see such bright

evidence of it’s truth.

You see, and so do I

it is a flower in glorious bloom

and it is welcome

to be itself

welcome to truly bloom.

And here am I looking on

and believing that it’s true,

if a flower delights

in being itself

I am sure that I will too.

So here I am

and here I go

and further down the road

I will delight

I’m shining bright

I have un-bundled off my load.

Oh that’s good, oh that’s great

I hear you say to me

but why my dear

did you wait

why did you wait to see.

As you are light

the time is right

so waltz along my dear,

smile and dance,

entice romance

and enjoy a bright new year.

Be a flower in your life,

be a petal soft

be a girl

who loves to whirl

and twinkle in the night.

Oh be yourself,

you take the leap,

come out from hiding there,

dress in colour,

glide along,

keep on singing

now share your song.

Yes we see

and so do you

with bright new bloom

you have come to be

the self that’s true

Hello to ME!!

Soul Blossoming Petals

Here we go travelling slow

further on

further along,

time to cross the flowing streams

time to flow to and fro,

to and fro singing low

singing warm

singing light

crossing streams in sunshine bright.

Happy now in myself

singing sweet

singing high

blossoming petals face the sky.

Soul is shining

heart is glowing

life’s expanding

roots grow deeply

happy now my fruit is ripening.

I welcome the freesias

the perfumes of spring

the colour of lilacs

and bluebells to ring.

Here is the season,

in the joy of the sun

bringing growth

and much colour to come.

Golden rays on my hair,

bright shining eyes,

there is warmth in the air

and blue in the skies.

So here is the spring

for the close of the cold

spring-cleaning to clear

and lighten ten-fold.

Oh joy, for the spring

and the pleasure I feel

oh joy to my heart

with the release of the past

oh joy, oh joy

I am heartened at last.
