Inner Joy

I see this morning moon and the moon sees me.

There are increasing times

when I feel a calm wave of inner joy,

quietly flowing through my heart.

Curiously, this springs out of the blue.

 

May be an appreciation of a beautiful sky.

Possibly, even a passing glimpse into a bigger picture

or welcoming signs for new ideas.

Warmth cocoons me as I feel my heart center,

almost like a mother bird nesting in my hair.

My happy dog starts racing in circles everywhere,

as he is being pleasantly free

just looping through the shrubbery.

We smile together.

 

 

Heart To Heart

When I close my eyes and go back in time

to where it was not safe for me

I see, with heartfelt simplicity,

that all was also, not safe for you

so I remember too

we mirror our shadows,

we yearn for the warmth of a welcome light

to wrap us through endless nights.

 

Now coming out to this new day,

everyday I always say,

first to myself,

then clearly to your faded face:

 

I love you

I am sorry

please forgive me

thank you.

May you feel safe

may you feel peace

may you be free and live with ease

 

When I live simply,

I know, feel, and truly see more.

We are all one earth family.

When we learn to free all beings,

then it becomes safer to share, to hear,

to nourish others and so to truly understand,

Love is all that matters.

Love is all that ever matters

Love is all that matters

 
 

When Petals Sing The Song

On this calm September day

some tiny flowers sang to me

and astoundingly,

they seemed to say,

words which sang to me along the way.

And what were they

I know you wonder, and why those words

I wondered too,

but here now I share with you:

'To make you feel my love' 

These lyrics from a winning country song,

came from Bob Dylan and became a soundtrack

to Hope Floats.

 

I feel there are more calls to come,

as the simple field flowers are with me

and the feeling too

brings equilibrium

with the sense of sunny days gently rising through. 

Love to you my friends.

Much has been shifting.

Spring flowers have been coming and blowing,

some flattened by the winds, but all along I 'know'

seeds are spreading and we are heading

for Yes in The Voice to expand love across our nation.

 

Lead kindly Light.

May our open hearts sing with our First Nations peoples.

May we feel their love offered.

*If Not Now Then When?

May we truly value the light in them

and see the light in ourselves, and hopefully,

Australians call freely for the change to Yes.

Yes.
