Suspend old beliefs

Night Sky illustration

The moments in time,

Define us with grace

As the stars hold their position

Within the cosmos of space

 

Beyond all the dimensions

There’s no concept of thought

Our purpose, to shine brightly

Recalling all that was taught

 

In wholeness, we are born

Then we start to forget

That we chose to be here

To payback on our debt

 

With laughter and love

And a connection to the heart

We can suspend old beliefs

And set the ego apart

 

Let natural orders pervade

And suspend the false doubt

That weighs down your mind

So your true voice can shout

Think of…

Think of never-ending moments, that fill you with joy

Think of baking cupcakes and swinging some poi

Think of a sky full of clouds that float you away

Think of all of the people you’ve met on your way

 

Think of sunshine and ice cream, hanging out with your mate

Think of snowballs and sleep overs and staying up late

Think of kittens on hoovers and bees in bow ties

Think of dancing with abandon and eating cherry pies

 

Think of back rubs and floating on your back in the pool

Think of all that can be and that life changing call

Think of all that you are and hold that thought tight

Think of walking tall, surrounded by white light

 

Think of presence and gratitude, of living here and now

Think of passionately making love and cows that meow

Think of the full moon cleansing you down to your toes

Think of planting a tree and watching as it grows

She stood in her own way…

She was an innocent child

Full of hope, full of dreams

Not yet tainted by others

Nor involved in their schemes

 

She loved being silly

Being carefree in life

Unaware that her learning

Was just other people’s strife

 

As a good girl she listened

Never wanting to be rude

Adopting the methods of others

Far too young to be shrewd

 

People pushing and pulling

Saying who she should be

Cast a shadow on her senses

Preventing her to stay free

 

She conformed to their wishes

Wanting to make others proud

So she kept herself small

Remaining part of the crowd

 

She stood in her own way

Blind to all of her needs

Feeding other people’s dreams

Never sowing her own seeds

 

Then the tide started turning

Others didn’t know best

With resolve she looked inwards

Seeing all she’d repressed

 

Peeling away many layers

She saw her inner truth

That she knew all the answers

And reconciled with her youth

The observer is observed

It is a time to rejoice

When your heart is set free

Releasing traps of the past

You attain tranquility

 

Nothing lost, all is found

The invitation’s arrived

Let the exploration begin

Into the unknown you have dived

 

Becoming of service to self

Without fear you now walk

No longer doubting the path

No longer too scared to talk

 

Clearly hearing your truth

Now aware of free will

The observer is observed

The chapter’s all yours to fill

With outstretched arms

P1020945

You stroked my face

as you hugged me

with your woody embrace

standing tall

on your roots

I held you close

 

Your woody musk

enveloped my skin

breathing life

into my belly

you led the dance

as we swayed with the wind

 

You translated secrets

of ancient stories

etched into your bark

an encoded history

written into the symmetry

of perfection

 

Responding to touch

we outstretched our arms

to the sun

the shared meaning

of two life forms

committed to growth

Love is threatening to skip town

Love is threatening to skip town

Thinks we’ve made a real mess

Tired of our hatred and anger

Of our desire to regress

 

Sick of constantly being heralded

As a bumper sticker on cars

Or as a brand, or a logo

To sell liquor, in bars

 

Love is feeling disappointed

At the bickering between friends

The incoherence created

By the worshipping of trends

 

Love requires honest commitment

Never differentiates by type

Doesn’t believe in self-deception

Never falls for its own hype

 

The Beatles knew what they were saying

In that Love is all you need

Love isn’t interested in money

It has no concept, of greed

 

Love truly knows no boundaries

Has a heart made of light

Within the cosmos of humanity

Love doesn’t know how to fight

 

It’s departure would be a tragedy

Love does not want to go

Would prefer us to be connected

Remove our boundaries and grow
