Brave Souls

Brave souls are alive,

taken for a ride,

 like the blossoms

blown away

 in the winds of spring

when everything

 is whirled around

and finally

 it settles down,

a little higher off the ground.

Brave souls do know

nothing

  stays the same,

changes

 come to claim

the present,

 open this gift

go deeper not wider,

go deeper.

The gains come,

 when within us

we choose Willingness.

Willingness

 leaves the way

wide open

for the new, new day

when traveling brings

you within

when

 the truth you seek

is where you meet

your frightened self

and look to see

not who abandoned you

but who did you

 abandon too.

When

 all you ever need

is to see and know

there is only Love

 or the Call for Love.

Choose once again.

The soaking spring rain

will regenerate you

to see

 the fruit growing

to see

 the peach reach maturity

to see

 the summer harvest shine

when you and yours

 combine

when I am you

and you are me

and All Is One

 is how we see

the fruiting trees

 strengthening

as every

 change of season brings

summer, autumn, winter, spring.

Part 2

Along the way

 through our lives

there comes the time

when we say

I wish

 there was another way.

We traveled far and wide.

We had our picnic days

 our own way,

but comes the day

and comes the time

when we reach 

what seems to be

'the ending line'.

But brave souls know

the way to go

 is not

 wider horizontally

but deeper, deeper

where the soul can see,

that immersing

with our shadow side

heals old patterns

 much denied,

so when we rise

from that dark night

the wider plains

 do not entice

as we

 have lived

 the valley life

and going deeper

led us to

the Real me

 and the Real you.

We looked for love

where it always was,

but life changes

and ways transform

so in these times

 we are shown

to go the distance

 and see the view

the mountain top is calling you.

Old patterns fade in the sun

old ways were once

leading us

but if we want

 the Love that's true

then see the one

who looks at you

and surely see

 the call for love they show

 never knowing

what you see

not being you, or being me.

We come from One

and finally

when this life is passing

and the bridge lights up

it is Peace and Love

that lead the way.

Going deep

 will heal old ways

the tourist route unravels

so our life is blessed

when we know

the road less traveled

is the way to go

Home to Love

where life is simple

and the tender heart

rests knowingly.

You will find

 what is missing

when you

 look in the right place

and realize

You had it all the time 

Only Love Is Real
