Attuning

I see you there

with the light dancers

your healing aura shines,

 your 'tonic' tea

strengthens me emotionally

so just being 

here in your growing space

lifts my soul

to a place of grace.

Calling All Earth Weavers

As 2020 soon will be

calling all to clarity

calling all

to rise with constancy

to enrich our lives

to help others raise their eyes

to come together

to heal the earth with all our hearts

to open joy

to go within

to share our love

as greetings sail on the breeze

as prayer flags flutter through the trees

as feathered ducks float on the lake

as sunshine ripens corn

and all around

above, below and through the sky

let our creativity blossom

to weave the ribbons joining all

as we awaken, expand and gently see

the only way for us to be

living in a better world

is when we plant our seeds in fertile soil

water them with salty tears

and share new growth each present year.

Lifting The Lady

Just now I look to see
Miranda with the lady
passing through the fairy field
looking for white Christmas Lilies
to fill a vase in the home
to bring precious scent to life
wafting-in from the past
where lilies grow and always last
where the love comes in buds
where the joy fills each space
from Heaven to our Christmas town
may all above and all around
carry her gently by
as carols lift our evening light.

Miranda hums through the oleanders
she sings our shepherd hymns
she carries treasures up the stairs
she shares pleasure by caring
for those known before
and all creatures in the valley
with melodies to set them free
whispering hope as candles flicker
lifting spirits high to shine
greeting all with Love Divine.


Blessings Love and Peace to All

Who Calls You Beautiful

 

Looking for mirth and beauty

and finding you calling all the butterflies,

and singing-in the bees

while being a sweetly scented beautiful weeping tree.

"I came so far for beauty,

I left so much behind

My patience and my family

My masterpiece unsigned." 

Leonard Cohen & John Lissaur - "Came So Far For Beauty"

"Recent Songs" Album, 1979 CBS

Seeing The Jasmine Star

Oh there you are

the pure Jasmine Christmas Star 

I am looking closely

treading softly, humming quietly.

Every day is new,

every song sings through

every breath is you and me

every choice comes instantly.

The Bells Of Life Itself

As I go forth on this spring day

I look around and hear you say.........

Go Forward

Plant the seeds

Listen Deeply and lead the way

into the light of bright sunshine

into the grapes growing on vines

into the lands where fires are burning

into your heart where all is yearning

to break free

to leave past history

and call to all to open your hearts

and lift the spirits of withered souls

lend a hand and share your gold

know the earth is calling us

know the creatures too do call to you

bring your essence, share your soul

ease the pain, reduce the toll.

Give all peace, release, release, release

and pray for goodness on the breeze.

In The Going Came The Way

  

The frangipani shines today so I look and say

You are Superb.

You, sweet precious, fill my heart

and that is where I start to say

I wish you'd never gone away

your love is with me everyday.

Your gentle way was lost.

We all regret the end,

when the beginning promised more

but shiny brochures were lies upon the lies,

the 'undoing' of you and I

who cried for help

who cried for care

who cried even being there.

But there we were,

me in the beginning and you in the ending

and yet, in a most startling way

it brought us to our unity,

you and I and me, 'undoing' all for liberty.

You came from bud with the color of brightest gold

and yet so many days go by

before you find we must both go away

to begin again.

We fade in those days.

We sit in the sun

and mellow to a softer shade

and in the everglade of trees we soften more,

become subdued, 

give our most and share our essence 

but where are we?

When we went we fell away.
So as days passed 
we lost our petals in broken-heartedness.
We heard them say
we love you,
but you must go away
so you will have caring everyday.

Another petal falls to earth
it takes eternity to understand
un-learning was the only plan.
For finding you, begin again.

The Little Tenor

Here come the blossoms

seen today

after the wildest winds

nearly blew them away.

I have not yet seen
 a leprechaun

in this lemon tree

but truly you and me
 do know

little helpers come and so

nine lemons did grow

through the winter season

when juicy fruit warmed our hearts

with much delight
 in each surprise

there before our eyes.

This is for Leslye 

 The Little Tenor,

 after 6 years,

is the tree singing

or is the leprechaun bringing

the fruits
 as proof of life?

So Marvellous Indeed To See These Birds

Lead Kindly Light

Yes I look deeply at the flowers

I listen to their whispers

and I cherish every bloom

I gather for my room.

And as every season

 comes and goes

I love to share my joy

and even if I only send

a photograph to a friend,

the bloom will sing

and everything will be shining.

What I share with you today

is this absorbing Lilac Light

which called me over

like a distant star

 guiding and lifting my day

each petal in the beauty way.

To be with Lilac is for me

the greatest joy

the softest smile

the gentle blessing as I pass by

fills my heart and scents the sky,

so as there is an angel singing

I hope my words

will boost the bringing

of this simple star

from over here to where you are.

May kindly light be with you.

May you feel some comfort

and know how flowers 

have the answer to the question.

 In quiet times

 all things come to pass,

may you know peace in your heart.

All These Treasures To Share

This very morning

with a bright blue dawning

as Spring sings so perfectly

every wish came to me.

 Scents drift on the breeze

as I gather delicious blooms

and bring them to my room.

So gloriously

 joy is with me.

 

Honeysuckle sings

and all I wish to do

is share all of this with you.

Soft Lamp Lighting The Way

What a delightful vision

you are 

lighting the path

along the way

as I rest presently

here today beside you.

 

Were you there in Assisi

lighting the path

and greeting the monks

at the chapel door?

Tell me more.

 

In all the world

could we ever count

the colors of green to be seen

 around the brown of the olden days.

 

This is my first vision of you

Italian Arum Lily bloom.

Do please stay.

 Did you hear the thrush today,

  whistling through

 this morning dew to welcome you?

Now I will sing

 in my own quiet way

for the joy of bird songs

in the garden today.

For Love Of Trees

We came for the trees

after lives

 of never thriving,

we came alive

we walked the hills

we lay in grass

and planted the fields

but there was always

leaving,

always leaving.

And this continued.

More walking

through forests

and over mountains,

the quiet times

the longing

the yearning

the creation

the separation,

the seemingly endless

parting.

But here today

as the lilacs bloom

 under the cloudy sky

I know why

the charity of sweet fragrance

fills my heart

with calm,

with peace

beneath the trees,

the magpie flies above

and now it is my time

to find the way every day.

God knows

where you are

and I know I am with him.

'God goes with me where ever I am.'

Trees grow

 where they are planted

birds fly

 across the sky

and sing each day.

A bird is heard

whenever we are listening.

I am listening now,

I am here now.

We came to be with the trees.

This understanding

shines the light through me.

Lilac, Lovely Lilac

The mist drifts

through this strange day

you lift

you bloom

you fill the room

with the sweetest song

we all belong

to one wide world

and one bright day

and here we are in every way

singing our souls back home

this present hour

because you are a lovely flower.
