Essence
I am stripped bare of all
but my faith.
I stand here shaking
in the wind.
Try to clothe me,
and I shrug my shoulders
in release.
I am dressed in garments
of sorrow,
all my dreams
are shredded rags.
But take no notice of me,
this emptiness
is my redemption.
I am rising to meet the sun,
I will be propelled back down
to the green earth.
I am a chrys...

Love Song
I release myself from everyone and everything,
hey, it's not my job to make you feel better,
(although I would love it if I could),
I'm just working on raising my own vibration,
you know, getting my frequency tuned in to all that's good.
Maybe that will help raise your vibration too, who knows,
but really that's your job, you know.
You take care of you,
I take care of me,

Evening Reverie
Call your sprit back
And wrap yourself in a coat of bliss
These earthly travails are not meant to hold you down
Shed them like a tired garment
And adorn yourself in the fresh gown of resurrection
Be as a bird and soar high in the sky
Travel the distance between heaven and earth
It's not as far away as you think
Fly! Fly! Fly!
The arms of joy are wide open
Awaiting you...

Shimmering Light
A beloved one arrives
in your line of vision,
you can feel the energetic
dance of their form,
you can feel their sorrow and their joy,
you cry for their troubles
and smile with their happiness.
Looking deeply,
you also see the light
that shines through their form,
this is where the fullness of joy resides,
this is the eternal light of the divine.
Yes, it is the...

Seasons of Life
I can feel my light
fading softly,
the brightness of youth
dims to the gentle glow
of old age.
Is life measured in years
or is it better to count the expansion of the heart?
Oh, how the heart rides the waves of love!
Turmoil gives way to peace,
doubt blossoms into faith.
Aging rises slowly,
inevitably,
while youth walks away
at a fast pace.
The old ones s...

Joyful Faith
Don't try to interfere with destiny,
don't worry about failure and loss,
everything self-corrects in its own time.
It is all written in the Book of Life,
your own,
their own,
yours is yours
and theirs is theirs,
no need to boss people around
and stir up the dust of anxiety--
they will discover how and what to do
in the expanse of time.
Just reach out and encoura...

What Do I Need, Really?
I need a tree
to give me shade from the sun,
I need a flower
to give me joy when I'm blue.
I need some dirt
to plant a few seeds,
I need a bit of rain
to grow the plants.
I need a little wind
to blow away sorrow,
I need a friend
to join me in laughter.
I need the morning
to wake me up,
I need a star
to hold my wishes.
Really, this is all I need,
R...

Butterflies Alight
Butterflies flutter
inside
when we are nervous,
butterflies alight
on flowers
to say hello,
little messengers,
reminding us to breathe
and smell the flowers.
No need to hurry,
no need to worry,
life unfolds
at its own pace,
problems resolve
at their own pace.
Be like a tree,
steady and calm,
open branches
inviting the butterflies
to rest on ...

Carry On, Oh Fellow Voyager
From where comes your strength, oh fellow voyager,
when your steps are heavy and your heart sorrowful?
Do you look high to the skies and implore the celestial for assistance?
Do you look deep within and ask for an outpouring of solid will?
Do you crawl into a corner and breathe until you feel an opening for resurrection?
Every being finds strength in their own way.
Even collapse ...

Look Up to the Sky
I feel like I'm living under a dark moon,
I'm waiting for the clouds to pass,
waiting for a light to open its rays,
so many sufferings,
so little relief.
But patience peeks from the corner of thought,
remember, remember,
all is in movement,
nothing is stagnant,
the moon will shine bright again,
guidance will light the path.
Wait with peace,
fret not,
the ...

Sitting On A Cloud
Go into the clouds,
the beckoning clouds,
hear the rhythm of the rain,
hear the song of the thunder.
I did not breathe you
into existence,
but I joined you
in this walk of life,
I can not carry you
but I can help you
in our uplifting.
Yes, this life is heavy
with many burdens
but we have strength
in each other.
Let's go sit on a cloud
awhile and smil...

I Ask
I ask for illumination
I ask for freedom from trepidation
I ask for exploration of solutions
Immense are the problems
Wide are the divisions
I ask for guidance
I ask for resolution
I believe in wisdom
I believe in strength
I believe in boundless joy
I ask, I believe
I jump into expectation
Let it be so
And it is so

Walking
When I feel mother earth beneath my feet,
I am soothed.
It matters not where I am
north, south, east or west,
it matters not what I see,
birth or decay,
I am soothed
by the rhythms
of the turning globe
beneath my feet.
Looking down,
dirt and weeds,
flowers and trees.
Looking up,
sky and clouds,
rain and thunder.
Destruction and reconstruction,
cyc...
