How Would It Feel?
How would it feel
If the worlds people
United in love, gave
More than they took
And did so with love.
How would it feel
To be happy and free
To have all that we wanted
And did away with greed?
How would it feel
To feel no pain
How would it feel
To feel no shame?
How would it feel
To feel no regret
How would it feel
Never to fret?
How would it feel
To be loving and loved
Care free and secure
Blissful and sure.
How would it feel?
Selah.

Words.
Words, put them together and what do you get?
Feelings,desires, reaching out, filling void,
creating darkness or light.
From the lowest to the Sublime words capture the language
it's story grows,
flowing, swaying the reader reads on,
delving ever deeper till the story is told.
Words, put them together and what do you get?
Dreams are told, dreams are kept
music plays on until the Sun is set
Words are powerful,
they bless or ignite
the fuses of hatred or they can be light as a kite.
Words, choose them wisely for in them lie,
the power of death or the power of life.
Words are made of letters that cast their spell
spell as in Spelling and in them you dwell.
Words follow the thought you see,
transfixing your future into what it will be.
Your words produce your reality and in them you stay
until another thought seed is planted
and once again your on your way.
Choose wisely!

Yesterday.
Yesterday it seemed as if the Sun refused to shine.
Yesterday I felt as if I was left behind.
Yesterday there were no Bright Clouds that came out to play
Darkness crept in as if she came to stay.
Yesterday I said to Self
I long to be free,
how do I rid my self of these chains that's holding me?
Yesterday I raised my chin and declared my worth,
pushing through obstacles as though they were dirt.
Yesterday is now gone replaced
by a brand new Day
at last my heart sings as I dance and I play.
Yesterday I planted seeds
with conscious thought
letting go of all that fear had wrought.
Yesterday is gone
along with the darkest of nights,
Today is now here with
Her brightest of Lights.
Yesterday I may have said
where is my hope, my joy
ah but Yesterday is gone
no longer in sight,
I now embrace the Darkness as well as the Light.
So the last word is, your thoughts are seeds,
plant only the best in words and in deeds.

Saviour
From a child to now
bound up in my mind
fearful, wondering, waiting
on a Saviour.
Heard it been said
down through the ages
follow whats been
said in old dusty pages
Dare not to question
do as your told
standby as your life
starts to unfold
Waiting on the sidelines
following the Rules
not being myself
unable to choose
To suffer now
or in the hereafter
not really a choice
and it really does matter
When I look around me
none of this makes sense
take the Joy out of Life
go sit on a fence
Question Questions
all in my mind
waiting on my Saviour to come
don't want to be left behind
As I look for answers
desiring to be free
every thing I need
is there inside of me
I release myself
I choose to be free
laughter contagious
I dare to be me
One with my Source
One with my Light
what inner peace I find
as Day follows Night
The path I am now on
is such a Delight
no more struggle
no more fight
Joy Peace & Happiness
was inside me all the time
just waiting for me
to unlock my mind
After countless years
of searching you see
the Saviour I'v been waiting for
is ME.

Live in the Moment
Are you baffled
do you want to scream
is your mind in chaos
even when you dream?
Think a better thought
that will bring relief
cultivate your mind
with love so sweet
Focus your attention
on things that are right
release the negative
and come to the Light
Live in the moment
Live in the now
Perfect love will show you how
release the anger
release the regret
Live in this moment
with enthusiasm and zest
******************************************************
Peace like a River
Peace Like a River
oh how it flows
expressions in love
in each flower grows
My heart is filled
with joy & laughter
to live now
and ever after
Forever young
forever free is what
I make the better
part of me
Joyful, blissful,
and full of glee
is the Me I intend
to Be!

REST
Raging storm
quite now
brooding dark clouds receding
leaving in its wake
a calm peaceful feeling
Blue skies all around
wind whispers softly
love's Universal sound
hope comes alive
and abounds
Unconditional love
is our true test
give and take
and then we rest
Rest from our struggles
our pain and sorrow
always believing
in a brighter tomorrow

LIFE
Life so funny
and full of hope
life so irresistible
like soap on a rope
As we journey
thru the passages of time
memories connect in my mind
Rhythm and rhyme
heartbeat slows
isn't this how life goes
Joy and sorrow
always hope for tomorrow.

Faith
To live without hope
to live without trust
is like leaving your dreams
in the dust
Faith is the eye
with which you must see
all life has to offer
to both you and me
Abide in hope
rest in trust
believe in God
is a must
Created Glory
which includes us all
came from the mind
of the Great
ALL in ALL

Life is what you make it
Life is a riddle
Life is a dream
Life is a mystery
or so it seems
Life is to be lived
of there is no doubt
either live quite
or live with a shout
Life is what you make it so make it grand
don't stick in the mud
nor bog in the sand
Master your mind
and get what you speak
yesterday is gone
it's today we keep
Live in the moment
live in the now
let Divine love
show you how

Blessed Be…….
Blessed be sunlit days
and moon soaked nights
blessed be our songs of praise
as we sing with voices raised
Blessed be love so pure
as we make our way
to distant shores
Blessed be when we ask
we receive and the
only requirement is that we believe
Blessed be life's grand mystery
it's in closing our eyes
is when we can see
There are times when not all seems right
as tragedy unfolds our hearts squeezed tight
but stay the course
live your life
moment by moment is what is right
Blessed be our times of test
first we struggle than we rest
Blessed in the knowledge
that one day when we all
become one unified and at peace
Blessed be that day so grand
when we walk through life hand in hand
the Jew the Greek
the blacks and the whites
living together in this circle called Life
Blessed be.

Soul Desire
There is a Desirethat runs through
my soul
To love deeply

To love is
to forgive
to forget Divine
To reach the offended
with Love sublime
To forgive and forget
will take us much higher
And that my love is my
greatest Desire

Love Never Fails
Love never fails
no matter how dark it seems
Love surrounds us all
even in our dreams
Love is the glue
that holds us though
all space and time Love never gives up
no matter the crime
Love is bigger
than any Ocean blue
Love is the Captain
we are the crew
Each one of us
is a perfect part of Love
Awaken now
to thy greatest expression called
LOVE.

Heart Matters.
To the depths of my Soul
and beyond
a matter my heart must address
the destruction of our land
without any rest.
Day in and day out
the tractors & chainsaws roar
leaving their ugly mark upon the land & more.
When will it stop
when will we see
that more than humans
make a community.
Each plays it's part
in this system you see
Natures own beauty
for you and for me.
To stop the violence
one must get to the core
of why we exist
and what we here for.
To change Earth's vibration
and All Rise as One
and remembering who we
are and why we have come.
To Bless & be a Blessing
in word and in deed
to champion for justice
in this we must succeed.
To learn from Nature
this will I tell
to always be gentle
be it to a Flower
or a Sea Shell.
