I remember then, I remember when

I remember then

I remember when

the sea it swam

across the waves

and we were lost

for days and days.

And all we had

to save our lives

was faith to bring us

to the other side.

Across the shores

across the skies

above the wind

and fierce high tides…..

we clung to life

we drank the sea

we sank, and sank

and came on up

like floating in the other worlds

the times they tell

the scenes so clear

the sense of death

very near

and yet we were

not afraid

our life was lived

our passage laid

and on the seas

the rolling hills

of water high

emotions were deep

and so was I.

I know I’ve drowned

before this time

and I stay on shore

to keep me safe

but nothing is as ever told

and we live and die before we’re old,

or we die to live

or live and breathe

some never live

and never leave

the safety of the sweetest shore

don’t reach out

or yearn for more

but what I must do

as we cling together

is leave my old self

in the sea

let it go,

to the depths below

and nurture who I am, this present

bring my love to every cell

and ride the waves

to far off lands

live and breathe

laugh and play

let the old ways

die today

and so, I know

I surely do

that accepting me

is my breakthrough

and leaving space

to sink or swim

that is where

my healing brings

freedom and light,

delight

and cheer

live this long and changing year

as if it is the very last

live right now

the past is past

and all the water

that ever was

will bring clarity

and wash away

every pain, before today.

No fear at all

my body floats

my heart is open

my quest is clear

live each day

accepting me

as in times gone by

I was lost at sea.

Lost at sea

and died with you

and all I never needed to

was love myself

and follow through

speaking truth

and being true.

So shores and shores

and waves of time

have passed this buoy

this date of time

and now after all those years

live your truth

be truly clear.

Do not wait

the call is now

take the leap

and swim somehow

to the land you knew

you always wanted

the land of light

and love and peace

the land of gentle love

and trust,

live we do

so live we must.

Take this healing

this vision pure

and heal your system

from inside out

and everywhere

in every-way

life will brighten

from this day

and you will be

a focused beam

a beacon shining

to the world unseen

and all those helpers

watching you

will pollinate the blossom

so fruit is born

and in this lifetime

your callings clear

write the messages

to the world

from all the words

seldom seen

be a beacon

be a beam

be a Bee

your work is there

we’ll wait some time

and broadcast clear

the lines will come streaming through

from us to you

indeed that’s true.
