Wishes by the wayside

Wishes by the wayside

have fallen from your pocket,

the old sad times,

the day-times

the long and sleep-less night-times

are gone like seeds to new-life,

to shining bright and true life,

to come and meet me in the glen

remember there,

remember then…

And all those times have passed now

and all the love remains……

And here I am in these days,

thinking love, of you

and how so many times went by,

daisies in the grass

and how my love for you Love

has carried from the past…….

Yes dandelions are golden,

their seeds have grown in grass

but I am here now my love

I am here with you…

though you, are over there in air

and I am thinking through….

all the times,

the love and fun

and all I have forgotten,

here I am, in these green times

remembered so by you….

and yes my times have changed

and nothing is the same,

and showers mist

and heaven hints

and Guides are here with me

and all the days we walked the paths

and rested under trees

have gone, that’s so,

and so have you……

and I still keep on walking

and here I am on Anzac Day

‘listening’ while not talking…

You see I write what’s ‘in my ears’

and that’s been such for 8 long years….

I feel that you know this now

that Love is all that each soul needs

and giving love is truly free

and here I am with Viola blue

thinking of the times with you.

You see and so do I

that violets grow beneath the sky

and daisies have simplicity….

I loved you

and you loved me…..

With almond blossom petals

floating gently down

live the dream and be content

as presently, as now.

For Love is present everywhere

as happiness calls to all of us,

so I’ll leave the past with you, my love

and I will walk on through,

all the love that Heaven sends

reminding me of you…

There is no such place, as far-away,

and no plant is a weed……

the dandelion snow-ball had your message on the stem…..

If I knew what, I know now

I may of changed the path somehow.

I may of known just when

my time to walk-‘Up The Stairs’

was only days away…..

and could I change that fate, I wonder,

would I have saved my day

would I be living close by you

and sharing lovely days…

Who knows? 

God knows……

God knows where we go from here,

where our trodden path-way

is leading to in woods

and if we could

and if we knew,

would life be any different?.....

Life, my love,

with you dear friend,

was as good as ever at the end,

so all we ever wish

if life is happiness to warm our days

is heartfelt love shared with those

who open-heartedly share their space

all lifetimes never will replace….

So live each day as your last

breathe-in love,
breathe-out love

and live in light

as for sure that’s true,

Light is all I see in you.

All that shines is happiness

live with joy to be blessed.

Little Desert Road

Just driving along

on a warm spring day

and looking through my window

to this wonderful display

of wildflowers so golden

and colours so true

and I am grateful indeed

for the sunshine of life

with spontaneous colour

to cheer and delight.

the Little Pond of Plenty

 

The little pond of plenty

knows your life

and fills to brimming everyday

whatever you need

is here to stay.

Beauty of nature

and love for you

and spiritual highs

and grounding too.

Plenty of good times

and abundant signs

of ways to live as you desire

and voices calling

from God’s choir.

We hear you singing,

do you hear us?

do you live with faith

and love with trust

and life will flow

with plenty of love

wherever you go.

Plenty of green

and plenty of trees

and a life well-lived

has been your dream.

And every day in everyway

you do live life

and share your love

as plenty of abundance

in everyday

as you follow through

with calls from heart

and heartfelt sighs,

our signposts line your garden path

so take a rest

and ponder now

loving yourself

as best you can

that’s the start

of every plan.

Life is here

to live dear soul

and living life

makes you whole.

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!!
