A small drop,
That’s all there was,
Until,
Behold,
A vast ocean.
From nothing,
Comes all things,
To nothing,
They
Shall return.
It is neither
The beginning,
The middle,
The end,
We have already arrived.

Arrival
-
Mystery Journey
A short walk,
Sets you
On your way,
On a journey,
To where,
Who can say?
I may think
I know,
Yet,
When I arrive,
It is always
A surprise. -
Emerging
I smile,
You awake,
Emerge,
From that hidden place,
Always there,
In the cave
Of my heart.
So many secret places,
Lie there,
Deep within,
Kept cool,
Safe,
Safe from the glare,
Of life.
From there,
You emerge,
Into the daylight,
I see you,
You see me,
It sets us both,
Free. -
Awake
Sleep now,
Waft away the debris,
The rising irks,
The worries,
The mind’s groaning churn.
Then awake.
Awake to a newness,
A freshness,
A seeing,
Seeing it,
As it is.
Live this,
Know this,
Change nothing;
It is freedom. -
My Friend
Wave to yourself,
Say hi,
Welcome
With a warm embrace.
I look in the mirror,
Who do I see,
Friend
Or foe?
Ask this,
For I must know,
I am my friend,
Loving and true.
Through
Thick and thin,
I will stand by me,
Truthful and loyal.
So,
To myself I say,
Hello friend,
I am here to stay. -
Awakening
Awake now,
Rise from the darkness,
The shadows
Are but cast
From your light.
Your brightness
Cannot be dimmed,
It burns with a force
Beyond mortal mind.
Awake now,
Your realm awaits,
It is time,
To take your rightful place. -
Rest Now, Be Free
I walk now,
Away and toward,
From you,
To you anew.
With you,
I leave it all,
With me,
I take my power.
You live within me,
Yet are not me,
I honour you,
But I am not you.
With love,
I leave you now,
Where you
Need to be.
With love,
I lead me now,
To flourish,
To be me.
Rest now,
Dear father,
Be free. -
Life Afresh
They all left me then,
When he left,
They left,
And…,
They came.
The frightened birds,
The lost children,
The stricken mother,
We clung together.
Lost on the frozen sea,
We clung together,
Never speaking,
Searching the horizon.
They came also,
The demons,
The quiet voices
Whispering in my ear.
You are not safe,
They said,
Trust nothing,
Trust nobody.
Still we sailed,
All pretending,
All striving
To stay afloat.
Then he left too,
Over the side he went,
No longer able,
Into the cold dark sea.
To the lifeboats
Now we went,
Not seeing,
We were each alone.
Together
Yet alone,
Alone,
With our demons.
And
A vast ocean
Have I crossed,
My demons and I.
Still here I am,
And now,
I see land,
The shore beckons.
There,
I will leave this boat,
That is no longer life,
With its ghosts and demons.
There,
On this new shore,
I will raise my eyes
To the heavens.
I will say goodbye,
My anger and pain,
Plain to see,
On the wet sand.
I will embrace love again,
There I will live again,
Love, life,
Afresh and anew.

Sun And Clouds
The clouds lift,
The sun breaks through.
In that light I see.
See the allness of it all.
One and the same,
Flowing from mind
To consciousness,
The pain,
The joy,
The energy of being.
Now,
All feels well,
And I know
The clouds will come and go.
Now,
The sun shines. -
Into The Light
In the shadows they dwell,
Shadows cast by light,
Shade to protect
From the strongest rays.
In time
They will emerge,
Ready now
For bright truth.
For now,
Let them be,
Let them awaken
When dawn arises.
In the shadows they dwell,
Yet to the light they are drawn,
In time,
Into the light they will walk. -
The King
The king sits
Quietly contemplating
All before him.
The land
The people
The shadowy demons.
Love fills his heart,
Wisdom,
Fortitude.
His is a solemn duty,
He is the keeper of stories,
The guardian of truth.
He will lead them,
Listen to them,
Show them the way. -
Warrior Rising
Walking through the sky,
The landscape
Seems forever wide,
Horizons stretching,
In all directions,
Far, far away.
Here,
Up in the heavens,
All is seen,
Smiles
And teardrops,
Adorning the world.
To the earth I go now,
Compassion in my heart,
Fire in my soul,
I walk here,
A warrior
Renewed. -
Fire
The fire burns,
From deep, deep it burns,
Hot,
Ferocious,
Cleansing.
I stand in the fire,
I feel its heat,
I welcome its
All consuming
Ire.
The fire is in me,
It is of me,
It is me,
I am its master,
It is for me.
Let the fire burn,
Let it clear a path,
Let it open a way
Through the briars
Of loss and pain.
The fire burns,
It is clean and bright,
From its ashes
Will rise,
The noble king. -
Ancestors
The morning comes,
Daybreak over the land,
The night receding
As it rises
On the other side.
I stand in the new daylight,
Its fresh brilliance,
Brings a warmth
Deep
Within my soul.
I turn to my ancestors
And pray,
They brought me here,
I honour them,
I turn towards tomorrow.
Today I am here,
On future’s threshold,
An ancestor to be,
A sacred responsibility,
I hold it within my heart. -
Together
A cloud comes over,
All the more
For
The sunshine
That has gone before.
A melancholy arrives,
All a part
Of the flow of life,
The riding of the waves
Up and down.
I stay with myself now,
I stay with you all,
All my ancestors
And me,
Here we are together.
So the clouds have come,
Yet the sun still shines,
I quietly sit and wait,
All of us together,
We see each other.
