The Courage To Be Myself

Let much go

you know it’s time

to walk ahead

leave much behind

as now you have the courage to

be yourself

and follow through

with all you wish to create

the path is clear

through this open gate.

So take yourself

and this best chance

and live the life

which will enhance

the deepest callings

from your spirit

be here Now

really Be

and every way

is lit today

and in this Now

you know how

to embrace your space

embrace your place

and bring this joy

to your inner heart

you have the spark

to light the flame

you have the Will

to live anew

and make this lifetime

the one that shines

you are here Now

and it is time.

Embrace each day

in every way

that heals your soul,

that clears the shadows,

that calls ahead

let me be the one to be myself

let me be who I know I am

let me shine my inner light

to show me all is safe ahead

and all old wounds are truly healed

when listening to the call of Spirit

singing me home to deep within

my heart is shining

so I begin

Now

Bright Light In Darkness

Oh, come to the garden

bring your light within,

let’s open our hearts and happily sing.

Let’s let in the lightness,

the gladness and joy,

let us be our best selves

and share kindness around

let days be as free

as we want them to be

and let us be successful in all of our deeds.

May golden beams light each day

and may we rest in deep sleep to restore our cells

then arise each morning with stories to tell.

Truth from our hearts and love from our centres

sharing whatever we may

and bringing deep wisdom when we gently say:

Go within

go without

go gently

be strong

go forward

go yonder

go wherever you see

the bright light in darkness beckoning thee

to lead

to love

to follow your heart

to live by example is the best place to start.

When Heart Bells Chime In Their Own Sweet Way

Divinely blessed

here you are

listening to a call afar

listening in

with all your heart

waiting here

as it all starts

blossoming.

And bells are blooming

with the sweetest scent

and all the air is laden fresh

as raindrops dwell all around

and in your heart

you feel the sound

of Love…….

The peace

the quiet

the heaven sent

the kind you seek

and always meant

to find.

But oh, many lessons came with that

as you looked for what

you thought you needed

and none of those succeeded

the way you thought

they ought

to do

but, truly dear

we’re telling you

they always do

enlighten you,

bring the lessons you came to learn

and every time you did discern

and grew to leave,

to indeed succeed

in growing

and coming to

the knowing that

all we do

is our path

and in our heart we know that’s true

as growing is a learning too.

Every time you come to share

and give a sense of all your caring

then in that way

and in your sharing

comes a blessing to lead you on

to somewhere new

and someplace stronger

within you.

So as the bells chime in their own sweet way

you are here in your everyday

to simply follow

in a simple way

and all will bloom

and fragrance will indeed

show you how

you do succeed

by proceeding on, in a patient way,

to seek yourself and hear us say……

Keep going

keep the door always open

and into your life

at any time

comes the sweetest bell

with the clearest chime

the bell to ring

the changes in

the bell to swing

on any lovely breezy day

and let you feel

in every way

the blessings all around you

the every-days you live through

the awareness of the little things

and the simplest way

the daily brings

Love to you.

Hearts will sing

when you love yourself in your life you have

the inner joy glows bright

as you pass to sleeping every night.

Oh glory, glory

I hear the call

of every bell in the countryside

lightly chiming to call the day

it’s yours’ indeed

so bring in play

and expand yourself in many ways.

The Light Within

In the gold

is a bag of gold

and lo and behold

I am told

it’s always there

abundance flows

and he who believes

is she who knows

and in this light and all around

there is gold dust to be found.

And where you seek is in your heart

and where you dwell is within

and there within,

in your heart centre,

is the one, your life mentor.

So go within and there is gold

and spread the precious dust you find

to all around

and leave behind

anything that no longer is

the essence of the way you feel

bring yourself to the well

and presently she who is

is she who dwells

and here you are happily

being yourself and being free.

The gold, it’s true, is inside you,

the well it sits within,

so draw your life’s flow from the bubbling stream

and light will shine

and leaves will gleam

and flowers are the gifts for you,

petals soft and colours rich

this is the way of Nature’s gifts.

Bring yourself the gems there are

and share the light from every star

and live the way your heart knows true

so being yourself is healing you.

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.
