Suspend old beliefs

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

We all know the type…

The way that she asked

Should have given a clue

She had no interest in me

Just in what I could do

 

We all know the type…

They’re the calls that we screen

The conversations we avoid

Others looking to preen

 

‘Can I ask a little favour?’

It’s never simple, or small…

With no way to avoid it

I set the stage for a fall

 

She manipulates my conscience

Will never let me say no

Why I keep letting it happen?

I’m the tell, to her show

 

So I resolve to defy her

Become the master of my mind

Create boundaries for protection

Start to release and unbind

 

I choose to disregard history

Of our shared common past

Release what no longer serves me

As I hoist my own mast

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

Displacement

Ripples
Tensions broken on impact
Beyond the surface
Calmness reigns
As geometrical perfection
Expands from the epicentre
Strengthened by the conviction
Yet oblivious to the intent
Of the life left behind
Sinking to its fluid death
Displacing itself eternally

The pavement of life

Avoiding the cracks

On the pavement of life

Is impossible to achieve

As the pitfalls are rife

 

Loose pavings abound

So take care as you step

Solely focusing on your feet

Makes the journey a schlepp

 

You may fall, you may graze

As the path isn’t mapped

If you reach a dead-end

It’s your mind that’s entrapped

 

You can follow the course

In the footsteps of others

Create a false sense of self

The destination, another’s

 

So be brave as you venture

Stepping out of your way

Accept the rough with the smooth

In turn seizing your day

Revealing what was foretold

Her petulant tone

Far too loud to ignore

Matched the cacophony of sound

As her toys hit the floor

 

Smashing on impact

Into venomous shards

Which she ground into dust

With complete disregard

 

Always centre of stage

By diverting attention

With a shift in the gaze

Came a new reinvention

 

Her stiletto spiked feet

Were a stake through the hearts

Of the men she would lure

From their betrothed, counterparts

 

Never pausing for breath

The next victim in sight

A shiny acquisition

Her actions could blight

 

And as day became night

And as night became day

She’d manipulate her friends

To ensure her own way

 

Then one day, Karma crossed

Her designer styled threshold

And held up a mirror

Revealing what was foretold

 

She screamed at the image

Of the devil’s reflection

Seeing all the deep lines

In her botoxed complexion

 

And so her heart shattered

Into one million pieces

Her soul taking its cue

As her last breath releases
