We Never Knew

Too far away

I cannot go home

I am not alone.

Eleven pm

The owl sounds.

It hoots

through the still dark night

it knows

you have gone from sight

but what I know and what I hear

is sounding strong and oh so clear

how we have healed 

our deepest pain

trauma rises to light the way

and now I know

and now I say

'Run away, run away".

It's not my fault, or yours, or hers.

It came from the 'homeland' 

across the seas

translating through so I heal you

from here on Earth

and you and her will feel relieved

that now we know deep within,

'they took our choices away'. 

I have no choices

I have no say,

my choices were taken away,

your choices were taken away,

her choices were taken away

and to this day

our cells held the trauma of it all,

deep inside we all did hide,

so Now this very night

has set generations free,

my Nanna, my mother and me.

 

Close Up

Remember when
you dressed my wounds
and told me then
you would always love
our times together
but that was never
what it seemed
as you were always
leaving.

And returning
but not really here.
You were bleeding
all over the place
and never facing
what was true,
never being the real you.

Sometimes you still
    call in
    to see
    what is going on with me.

Here today is my plea.
Hear me.
Stay a while
and listen
to my heart beat
come in closer
and really meet
Trust
Honesty
Tolerance
Gentleness

What Joy that would be
defenselessness for me to see,
generosity to give away
all you value here
and patience now and for all time,
faithfulness and an open mind.

If every word was ever heard
Love would sing
and light would bring
a truly wondrous way to be
living with simplicity.

Written June 4, 2019

For You

For You

for this day,

and another

whenever,

if you please,

may each day

be gentle,

be calm,

be comforting.

May your light shine

 for all you do

with just the glorious

 goodness of you.

Living Treasures

Every year in March
I wait by the bare earth
for any little sighting of new birth
and the ever increasing joy of 
abundance.

First there is a tiny sign
growing higher,
then a white tip and a white stem
then one always comes first
One
beautiful little crocus
showing itself 
and growing itself 
in a day to be a little mauve bud
then an open bloom,
then a few little buds around
and finally the sound
of me cheering
the happy family...

Pink Love Shining Brightly

From Here

I liked listening to your perfume

Pass It On

May your days be bright

and your heart be light

May Love be in your life,

May hope be in your heart

May peace be in our world

Wishing many Blessings to all

When I received
 this beautiful New Year greeting,
 I truly felt
 the simplicity and strength
 in this openly shared expression

In kindly ways let us all share

Brave Souls

Brave souls are alive,

taken for a ride,

 like the blossoms

blown away

 in the winds of spring

when everything

 is whirled around

and finally

 it settles down,

a little higher off the ground.

Brave souls do know

nothing

  stays the same,

changes

 come to claim

the present,

 open this gift

go deeper not wider,

go deeper.

The gains come,

 when within us

we choose Willingness.

Willingness

 leaves the way

wide open

for the new, new day

when traveling brings

you within

when

 the truth you seek

is where you meet

your frightened self

and look to see

not who abandoned you

but who did you

 abandon too.

When

 all you ever need

is to see and know

there is only Love

 or the Call for Love.

Choose once again.

The soaking spring rain

will regenerate you

to see

 the fruit growing

to see

 the peach reach maturity

to see

 the summer harvest shine

when you and yours

 combine

when I am you

and you are me

and All Is One

 is how we see

the fruiting trees

 strengthening

as every

 change of season brings

summer, autumn, winter, spring.

Part 2

Along the way

 through our lives

there comes the time

when we say

I wish

 there was another way.

We traveled far and wide.

We had our picnic days

 our own way,

but comes the day

and comes the time

when we reach 

what seems to be

'the ending line'.

But brave souls know

the way to go

 is not

 wider horizontally

but deeper, deeper

where the soul can see,

that immersing

with our shadow side

heals old patterns

 much denied,

so when we rise

from that dark night

the wider plains

 do not entice

as we

 have lived

 the valley life

and going deeper

led us to

the Real me

 and the Real you.

We looked for love

where it always was,

but life changes

and ways transform

so in these times

 we are shown

to go the distance

 and see the view

the mountain top is calling you.

Old patterns fade in the sun

old ways were once

leading us

but if we want

 the Love that's true

then see the one

who looks at you

and surely see

 the call for love they show

 never knowing

what you see

not being you, or being me.

We come from One

and finally

when this life is passing

and the bridge lights up

it is Peace and Love

that lead the way.

Going deep

 will heal old ways

the tourist route unravels

so our life is blessed

when we know

the road less traveled

is the way to go

Home to Love

where life is simple

and the tender heart

rests knowingly.

You will find

 what is missing

when you

 look in the right place

and realize

You had it all the time 

Only Love Is Real
