Breathe

Anger haunted me,

like a late night rerun. 

My Mother  was angry,

my Father was angry. 

I was angry. 

Cursed,

with a short fuse.

My sharp,heartless words are 

like a permanent marker,

on a brand new whiteboard. 

I'd explode and then regret. 

I'd explode and then forget. 

Angry at myself and embarrassed,

I would cool down 

but the damage was done.  

Unerasable proof,

of my uncontrollable outrage,

in the eyes before me. 

Like a stain on my favourite shirt,

or a damaged friendship,

a crippled relationship.

Trust broken,

unforgiving, unforgiven. 

I've passed it on. 

I can see it in their eyes,

in their actions 

in their judgements. 

Everything  I haven't handled well,

I can see it in their eyes...

and it hurts. 

I can't take it back

but I can let it go.

I can forgive myself. 

I can repent 

and transform.
Confess 
and move on. 

Now with this new breath. 

I can breathe in the joy, 

that's in 

and around me. 

I can breathe out the guilt,

that's been trying,

to drown me. 

I can breathe out the judgement 

that puts down and damns. 

And I can breathe in this love, 

that accepts all,

that I am. 

Life

If I had only one photo, 

to sum up my life...

Merry Christmas.

The Greatest Gift.

A gift of judgement,
is the most selfish gift we can give,
for it only feeds our negativity. 

The greatest gift,
is one of acceptance.
Listening with ears,
that are acquiescent.
Seeing with the eyes,
of equanimity,
and feeling from a heart,
that's drowned in humility.

          

Father.

Love is all You have.

Love is all you have. 

Love will always remain. 

Love is the pinnacle. 

Love draws us and 

defines us. 

Love is the deciding factor 

in everything. 

Love is you and me,

Love is Thee. 

Surrender.

What feeds you?

Is it good for you,

emotionally, physically, spiritually?

If it's not,

how do you let it go?

Let God. 

That's the power of surrender. 

All we need is faith

and a knowing,

that something greater than us,

than everything, 

is taking care of it. 

Complain

The more we complain,

the more we feel drained. 

The more we exclaim,

of all the good fortune 

that's rained. 

The more we refrain,

from the need to complain. 

A Crimson Haze.

A river of the deepest 

indigo blue,

flows through me. 

A field of stars orbit clockwise,

inside of me. 

The sun rises in a crimson haze, 

within me. 

An unceasing  hum of cicadas hum softly,

a ceaseless

and tireless background,

to it all. 

The Cure

The love that courses through my veins

Is the very same love,

that no thing can contain. 

It has the power to sustain

and it is the cure for all our pains.

Who Am I

I can't do anything 

that doesn't serve me. 

I can't be anything 

that doesn't serve thee. 

I am not separate from thee.  

Nor am I this body called me. 

I am the 5 elements and more. 

I am the one thing, that's evermore. 

Loved Ones.

One of the first things we feel, when a loved one passes away,  is of all the things we won't be able to do with them, any more. 

That's why we have to cherish our loved ones that are still with us. 

For those that have gone, let the memory of their great love, live on in our hearts, 

forever... 💗

Infinite is Her Wisdom.

 

Infinite is her wisdom

the love is in her eyes

her smile will light your Shakti

and her words will melt your pride. 

A Lullaby.

The Earth breathed in,

with pure delight.

In the black, inky,

stillness,

of that cloudy,

starless night. 

Wave after wave,

sang us, to sleep. 

A lullaby of Ocean soothing,

shooshing us,

asleep... 

The Joy

You are the air,

that I breathe. 

You are the earth,

beneath my feet. 

You are the sun,

that shines above.  

You are the joy,

that is my love. 

With Gods Grace

Too many people in this world

don't have a peaceful place

to rest.

Please wipe away their tears

and help them find a place that's blessed. 

Please let them find the hope

and find the strength to cope. 

Please help them to believe 

that in their lives,

peace and joy,

will be retrieved. 

Please help them face their fears

and not drown in despairing tears. 

All this, will pass away

and love will come to stay.
If they can just learn to trust in God,
and take the time to pray. 

Let us always believe,

that we can help heal the hearts that grieve. 

With Gods grace, in and around us,

please let us do the very best we can,

to help those all around us,

find the same peace and love,

that grounds us.
