Ship
Oh you came upon the scene with such dazzling dreams
Enthralled for what many eyes have seen
Bedazzled all with sultry and seductive words so exquisite, so pristine
Poetic words that have rang true from days of long ago
I hear your weeps, uncertainties, your truths, the spillage from the depth of your soul
The battle must and it has to be won
Allow your fate to be your testimony for the weary ones who have no strength to continue on
Queens bow, we reign, but we never give in
We love, we live to fight another day, and then we ascend with...

IF ONE CAN THINK IT SO SHALL IT BE
Is it not true that it is possible to achieve that ultimate goal to finding, peace of mind something that we each seek and search for in life as we evolve and transcend mentally and emotionally. Is it not true that it is possible that we can control, our own thoughts and feelings and emotions and still be willing and able, to make and manifest our deepest visions into life's existences. Is it not true that it is possible that the skies are the limit, even when it feels unrealistic with expectations that no one else can see but you. Yet is it not true that only to you it is definitely within...

Buddha in an Acorn
An acorn has everything
it needs: resources
nourishment, blueprints
and patterns to become
the mighty oak
it is destined to be
Humans are the same;
our evolution is encoded
within our DNA—
individual and collectively
We have everything
we need; water, air
sustenance, and space
allow us to meet our fate;
but, circumstance
can present an illusion
of entrapment—
as an acorn, entangled
in a hedge—
humans lose sight
of their...

How to Seek God (and Where to Find Him)
We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” Mahatma Gandhi

Through the razor
Grass, are
Holding the dissipating glow of
Morning, where eyes are...

BE STRONG BE BEAUTIFUL AND BE YOU (INNER STRENGTH)
BE STRONG BE BEAUTIFUL AND BE YOU (INNER STRENGTH)
This is my mantra I'm sending it from me to you, to give you more self belief in everything you do
Look for your hearts fire that burns so deep inside, it's there waiting for you, I promise it hasn't died
You are stronger than you think, you have more power than you know, now the time to fan the flames, just let your power show
Stand up and face the world, this time you don't back down, you take no shit, you call the shots, leave your foes with a shell shocked frown

RHYMING EASTER GREETING
Happy Easter, one and all!
Join in the "He is risen!" call.
Out of the tomb He's standing tall;
The grave could be no prison wall.
The stone-roll angel did appal
The guarding soldiers. One and all
Did in a dead faint simply fall.
They lay loose as a crumbled wall.*
The babe laid in the manger stall
Is now the risen Lord of All.
We may shun or follow His call;
"You who follow shall not fall."
* "...the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like...

unity
the universes are turning
behold the Malay
the keys of equality hinge on prisms of color
we are each light forces
don't forget humanity
the eternal watches
while our brothers
and sisters sing songs of suffering
intercession comes in waves of idealism
nothing is impossible
people become aware in unity
when a great awakening takes hold of society
the elite houses are complacent
foundations of belief are shaken
as the sleeping victims arise

Waiting -
I watch from rooftops
like afternoon sunlight,
the partially
shingled building
clamors
with each stiff wind
speaking like the dead,
plucked flowers
drift aimlessly
between
gravestone pathways,
waiting to decipher
peace
in the steps
of angels.

Forest walk
Boss gave us a day off –
“take time to reflect and relax”
Smart, he knew we all needed it
So here I am, taking my writing book to my favourite trail
Bench #1 - Letting go
Deep breaths, the prescription for relaxation
just inhaling the scent
balsam, cedar, spruce, pine
I took off my sunglasses
so I can take it all in
unfiltered
*
So, we’re on to a new phase, re-opening --
Just when I finally got used to
the low-grade anxiety
the wiping of all the things
the distancing and isolation -- ...

Unyielding Hearts
Inspired by Kateri Tekakwitha, the ”Mohawk Saint”
"What people don't realise is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross." - Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being
She burned her legs with coals
and God was in the sear.
The gospel boats and souls
were floating by in shoals,
to make with halves new wholes,
to change with Christian cheer.
She burned her legs with coals
and God was in the sear.
The bodies, wracked with fear
and never fully wrought ...
