If That May Have Been A Time In-Between

Sweet Violet light

with gentle scent

wherever you went

I did go

wherever you walked

along so slowly

there in the dell

beneath the trees

was the whisper of love

and the song of the breeze.

There in the shade

of the forest glade

we played

with love at midday

and who is to say

that that was the place

that I wondered if

I would scatter your ashes

if you follow my drift.

If that was a place

in the cold of winter

where warmth became us

and there was none of the splintering

that followed on after,

just mist and colour

and some good fun laughter.

Along we go

and who is to know

if that may have been

a time in between

where love and shade

and sunshine and clouds

have passed over from heaven

and come to me now

as a remembrance of winter

and love in the mist

of the first time I felt

and enjoyed your kiss,

of the heart of the centre

and the beginning to end

when we became less spontaneous

and faith blew in the wind,

as there came the spring

and the summer season dried

all that we knew

and then left behind.

Oh come to the violets,

oh come to the times

when love began on the cold winters night

and times they changed from then onto then

and let’s let go

and begin again….

Pink Love Sharing

Pink Lake In Summertime

I love him to death, I do,

he is my rock it’s true.

As further along we travel this road,

we do and will, share our load.

Through hills and valleys, lakes and pools

we go together as a rule,

we do our best to harmonize

and live with purpose through this life.

And you may wonder why it’s so

that there are times

when the flow, is just a trickle

and you are weary

keep on going little one

you’ll find the peace

and enjoy sunshine,

it is not that you must ‘toe a line’,

it is that you must ’let it go’

and bring yourself emotionally

to swim the ocean, swim the seas

and rest each day knowingly

that you are loved

and so is he.

Love never dies and here you are

together sharing warm love around

there is enough

and you are safe

please sit with that my little girl

and come to hum

and sweetly ‘twirl’

bring yourself to quietly sit

and share your warmth all around

you are blessed bountifully

know that truth and be free.

Let the waters, ebb and flow

you are guided wherever you go.

You will turn the corner and there you’ll see

the grassy steps up to be free.

I Loved You My Love.

I Loved You My Love

Lyrics by B Porteous

Thanks for the gold coins

white daisies and ruby ring

when you gave them from heaven

they meant everything.

You said ‘forgive me my transgressions

be they big or just small,

when I looked back from here

I just saw it all’

Chorus:

I saw your sadness

the pain in your heart,

I saw my sorrow and loss

and it’s too late to start.

But you came to heaven

to see how I was

and you know now I loved you

I loved you because.

Life passes so quickly

in a skip and a hop

and then one day

with a heart-stop

I dropped.

I left your world

though you held me within,

I left you My Love

so you could begin.

Begin your life

find a love you can trust

and shine your smile

forever on by

for I am gone now My Love

it was my time to die.

Repeat chorus:

I saw your sadness

the pain of your heart

I saw my sorrow and loss

and it’s too late to start.

But you came to heaven

to see how I was

and you know now

I loved you My Love

I loved you because.

Grieving Is Like Leaving.........

Love In The Mist

Nine years ago today I read your eulogy

and then went into another room

to share a cup of tea.

And all the time along the way

I thought my grief would heal one day,

but although there are shifts and better times,

my heart just circles back to you

and faith helps me to carry through

all these years, occasional visitations,

but always, never another friend like you.

Five years ago you took me to heaven

to show me around,

you said you were sorry for your transgressions

be they big, or small,

and we healed so much

and I came back to continue along

healing myself and to write you a song.

This song with lovely lyrics,

I said I would share one day

and I continued writing in other ways.

But now I feel that cycle ends.

I must be present in my life.

I must heal the fractures,

be less vulnerable,

express myself from my heart

and begin again with a new start.

So as promised

and to continue Pink Love Shining

I will share those lyrical lines

knowing now that I’ve healed in time.

And as always

grieving, is like leaving

never going to arrive

until you do,

you do survive,

as the only way is working through,

casting off until there’s you

now knowing you as you do.

Breathing Pink

Sitting now, you hear the wind,

the old past blowing

the new times coming.

Ring the bells, release the old,

use your talents and your hours

sharing simple words from us,

as you listen to

the songs we are singing you.

Lighter, lighter

brighter, brighter,

clearer nearer,

more to hear,

much more coming, becoming clear.

Release, surrender

start your new,

inside out and surely true.

We’re always growing,

it’s only change,

we are here to grow and re-arrange

anything which no longer serves us

releasing softly,

life supports us.

Breathing pink, glorious pink,

with breath after breath of pinking-in

your life will brighten,

as the clouds go and seeing pink will truly show

that all around, above, below

angel smiles have a heavenly glow.

My Present Moments

May I have the Grace

to know my place

and the faith

to walk whatever path

is leading me

intuitively.

In essence

all the gifts are free

when I come to Balance

and Humility,

when I do my best

to serve the many

knowing there is

always plenty.

Bring my love to everyday

living in the Present Moment

being there

to really ‘own it’.

Loving myself

and nurturing too

loving me

is loving you.
