Poems

Voices on the wind

As the wind blows I listen, the wind for me is the voice of spirit, the voice of creator

this voice is always giving me choices, what do I want to hear, what do I want to feel

as the wind blows across this land, I am being asked to just be

let this creation of mine experience this wonderful world I have created, 

live freely, express myself openly, there is so much here, observe,

be a part of this creation, love one another, be aware of  all life

listen to the wind, it speak

Walking Forward

On this journey of life I have seen how I have a choice, I can move on always looking back, carrying old ways, old habits, I can also move on looking ahead,

there is this beautiful thing called free will, we are living in a time of great change,

we are living in a time where choices are put right before us

look back, do you really want to keep carrying  that old stuff, look forward ,

drop that load, it is no longer of service to you, moving forward the burden is light,

we are in a time of great change, let go , move forward, the burdens drop away,

you see moving forward is moving into the self, the self is light, I am light,

I choose to lighten my load, accept and be present

Original Truth

Look into the mirror, look into the mirror of your soul, 

study it, be with it, love it, look into the mirror, stare into those eyes,

there is a deepness there that goes beyond what you can see,

a vast ocean that has been unexplored, look deep into the mirror,

for that is where  you will find the love, the joy that you are looking for,

look deep into the mirror of your soul,

that is where you will find yourself

Moving on

Listening to myself today, just being content to sit here, 

resting my head on my brothers shoulder, I find solace in my brother the tall cedar,

he always has something to share with me, I always have something to share with him,

the lessons I learn from my brother are not always profound,

but they go deep into the core of my being,

the strength and peaceful knowledge, the words, the feelings,

no emotions attached to any of it, he shows me how I can move on,

not out of fear, or guilt, or wanting to go hide,

but how to embrace all of  lifes  challenges,

for if he can stand in the forest in his own solitude, but still be amongst many,

what does this tell me,

I am not alone, but I am one of many

Beautiful

Oh beautiful, beautiful  daughter of mine, in my heart and in my mind, I will always see your 

beautiful radiance shine, for god is in our hearts with radiance so divine

oh beautiful, beautiful daughter of mine , I will always see your beauty shine

Dancing in the clouds

The forest rises up from the valley floor, never asking, just willing to give,

you see the air we breathe is created here, the trees, the plants, the rivers, the streams

taking in all that is around them, never asking why or what, just giving back freely

the air, the oxygen we breathe, never asking

for as the trees are dancing in the clouds, I am reaching up and dancing

dancing with the self, never asking why or what, just dancing

allowing the dance to unfold, just dancing, just dancing, just dancing

being at peace, just dancing

Freedom

Freedom, what does that mean to you, are you free, really

I can say I am because of the country I live in, the rules here say we are

but when I go within, where does that take me, to a place where I am free?

I look at this life here, the life I have chosen, my creation

now I have learned to see, being free is not what I had made it out to be

I can see that truly to be free means to let go, embrace all that I see

let go and let spirit embrace me, truly spirit for me is a place of tolerance

a place of forgiveness, a place of freedom deep within

allowing myself to be completely, yes completely wrapped in the unconditional

the unconditional freedom of who I am  and always will be

Song of the sea

the sea, the vastness of this place, life is not much different

as I awaken in these later days of my life I can see that this ocean

this sea that continues to rise as the tide comes in is relentless

showing me how  that as I embrace this life I have chosen

the energy of my being that is filled with love, filled with joy, embraces all

just as the sea in it's relentless rise cannot be stopped

so is my love relentless and cannot be stopped, life for me begins here
