An Easier Way

And through the Pink
I see there is
a place to be
where I am
safe
quiet
with delight to see
the shining of dancing light
upon the flowers
the love is there
shimmering
glimmering
glistening
listening
waiting for the warmer breath
waiting patiently for any length
of time it takes
to know there is
an easier way
to live my day
to continue with the best I have
and let freedom be
in breathing out......

falling flowers
gravity
beautiful blooms
carpeting pink

S T R E T C H I N G

Yet

betwixt

between

the seldom seen

comes the possible

the probable

the opening

the advancing

the beginning

the living

the times which tell

the way to go,

the times which tell

who will

then know

what lies ahead,

what sits within

what calls your name

what invites you in

to all there was

you never knew

and all there is

beside you.

So open wide

and take the steps

the way you go

is lit with light,

the way you go

is within sight

and all you never knew

fills your heart

with what is true.

Seconds later came these words:

‘Stretch ……………S T R E T C H.

Reach ahead………………………….’

We Sit Within

When we leave the space

between the lines

between the words

between our thoughts

we receive clarity we have been searching for

we see peaceful calm beyond the door,

we see the honesty we always knew

we see ourselves being true

we know at last we always were 

the light

that shone above our heads

now glowing within so we feel

our peace has come

our life is real

our way of being is simple now

our heart is open

and we somehow feel whole,

feel safe

having arrived into a welcome place.

We sit within

we know ourselves

we wonder why it took so long

but when we ask, we hear the voice

bringing the answer we always knew

“when you love yourself as I do”

then you will be the strength

the one to trust

the truth of you will be shining through

and all around the light you bring

will be the path to everything.

The only path to find yourself

is to go within, to ask to see

what truth you need to set you free.

And there it is …..

When you give up the need

to know why things are the way they are

you will receive the knowing

* “Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists”

Come Blossom Come Fruit

You Say You Feel Like "A Lost Soul"

You say you “feel

like

a

lost

soul”

and will you ever

feel

you’re becoming whole.

From where I see

you

are

free

to be the whole

you’re looking for

to go within

and explore

forgiveness.

Yes, forgiveness

is the way

to heal the past

in everyway

and when you do

the breaking through

expands your heart

to fill the world

and bring to you

the knowing-true

who

you

are.

You are always whole

and always here

you fill the skies

you fly on high

you are the one

to start the ball

rolling.

Sit where you will not be interrupted.

Say I am here now to heal myself.

I am willing now to release my pain

my shame

my rage

myself

I am open to forgiving you

forgiving him

and her

them

and me.

I will climb the forgiving tree,

branch

by

tender branch.

Instead of falling further down

you will be released

and easily

will come to know ‘the setting free’.

The view from the tree tops

is like the wonder

you feel you’ve lost

and all that you need do

is believe

a simple process

heals deeply.

So take a breath and some continual hours,

repeat whenever you are called,

willingness brings clarity

and forgiveness does ‘set you free’.

He Was My Longtime Friend

Ten years ago you left the bus

to start the end of you and the end of us.

Ten days later you suddenly died

in a deck-chair on a city footpath.

I grieved your loss

day after day and on and on

but now I finally have come through

as strong,

or stronger than I’ve ever been

as I’ve seen you in the world unseen.

I sit here in the misty morning

thinking of that last weekend

cutting ‘willow wands’ and wattle sticks,

drinking espressos or woody & earthy Assam tea

and we were contented you and me.

I see deep below

there always was a dark hollow

where you lived with homeless men

but up there in the light of heaven

you still do your best

to find a pillow to ‘line a nest’

caring for ‘those left behind’

when the road ahead is unlit by friends.

So the ants are here!

But only seen singularly,

at the bathroom basin, on the window sill

meandering over my laptop screen

inside the pages of my book

this week, one is wherever I look;

not the path that hundreds took

as you observed their worker ways

to while the hours in your unscheduled days.

Time is for the living

the breathing-in and giving

the breathing out

to take life in, breathing all to begin.

Now and Again

Where and When

Here and Now

we learn somehow

life is here this very moment

we never know when living goes.

God Knows.

(Written on April 26, 2015 in memory of CMR who was my long-time friend.)

I Weep. I Weep For The Men

I weep. I weep for the men

who until then

never asked for help or looked within.

For the way ahead

may be dark indeed

and I hope with all my heart

that the light streams

and there are ways

to express the depths,

to clear the haze.

May nurturing come

and nourishment be,

may they have the love

they surely need

and when will they call for help

to uncover themselves and shine their light

into the darkness of ‘the dark night

of the soul’ who longs in a plaintive way

for the affection, encouragement

and someone who’ll say

‘Come near and rest

you have tried your best’.

You dear friend need to change,

to know your own true ways,

to walk away from hazy days.

Let you be the one

healing to the core

before you carry any more

loads of burdens you do not need

and now is the present,

with a call for freedom ringing clear

take this year

to meet yourself

and shake your life courageously

to bring yourself to being free.

Free to feel.

Free to heal.

Let all the past dissolve away.

Call the new to heal you

Now.

No time to wait or hesitate.

Come to yourself.

Honor yourself.

Shine your light now.
