Grateful for this moment of life
for one more awakening
one more night
of the moon
for the pulsing stars
for one more day of sunlight
Grateful for this earth
where we live
and all who dwell
together here
for the beauty
of creation
In awe of the intricacies
and wonder
of this universe
and our created lives
thankful for
the mystery of grace
for kindness
humor and joy
for gentleness
and divine generosity
humbled by the gift
of love
that enriches
this life
To sing of the light
is a flow that brings
the singer to life
To reach for ways
to share the beauty of love
is to expand the soul
To open the sacred gift
of silence to share its wonder
is the cup overflowing
To feel and see and hear
the love songs of friends
is to join a chorus of pure joy
May every life awaken
to the gaze of beholding
and the glory of pure Love
To be surrounded by the Presence
of divine Belovedness
is to be touched by Grace
Every time I awaken
to the wonder of the dawn
and the first light
of morning
I arise in solitude
in sweet silence
feeling the call
of Love
streaming in a flow
to all
My heart
is filled
with overwhelming joy
to feel the passage
of such divine
anointing
of this blessed earth
and the beauty
that is ours
May we feel the pulsing
rhythm of life
and creation
within our hearts
and know the chain
of existence
that celebrates
our being
in the Beloved
Let thy Love lift us
into thy
expanding arms
O dance and spin us
into the Light
of your uplifting
life and grace
Help us feel
the gift
to know that
we are already yours
The palace of dreams
is the sanctuary of intimacy
my heart says
it is time for love
and no one can correct my heart
not anyone at all
the sun is laughing
showering us with light
dripping sparks of golden wine
the night is calling
and beauty is
falling gently upon the earth
the moon is high in the skies
reflecting the light
from our eyes
my bare feet
are standing on spinning ground
cool and tender
is the grass tickling my toes
it is the earth
turning round and round
for i am not lost
i am found in the sound
of a nightbird’s song
come along
for it is a night to sing
of love
leaning against a lantern light
i may sing all night
for there is no law
forbidding joy
within this heart of mine
prime the canvas
with the finest wine
and i will sing of what i see
the sweet scent of lilacs
has set me free
My heart dwells
within a large expanse
of night sky
and the beauty
it displays
so generously
to all
I feel the approaching dawn
when the light plays
among the drifting clouds
and your faces
appear to me
one by one
within the images
of the lives
you call your own
I feel such awe
and gratitude
for all we have been
privileged to share
for the moments
that mean so much
to our hearts
I feel the prayers
of those
who are longing still
I am truly grateful
for this peace
and sense
when it is time
to be still
and feel the blessings
overflowing
I feel the beauty
of an infinite morning
for the soul
a quiet shelter for the heart
and sweet remembrance
of the flow of grace
bringing this gift
of personal peace
So blessed by thee
are we
so endlessly
blessed
Beneath the wave
a powerful current flows
silent and unseen
sometimes the wave carries
the beauty
toward the sun
lifting everyone
as words and images
and voices tumble
and turn
in the glory of light
the wave rises and falls
and dances
with the wind
pushing and pulling
with the tides
giving glorious rides
on the sweeping
climb
plunging into silence
in the fall
where only the soul
resides
no faces left
to meet the faces
peering through
the churning waters
and the foam
beneath the wave
is home
fractured light
splashing
colors of life upon
the windows
of the wave
yet remnants of thee
are all i see
silence
settles softly
and sweetly
beneath the waves
of the sea
From deep in the night
love comes
rising in a remembrance
of sweetness
dizzying
and disorienting
drowning all fixed ideas
emptying
and carrying away
the life rafts
to which we might still
be clinging
We dimly remember asking
for this
realizing we didn’t know
what our own prayers implied
when we cried
and sighed
turning toward love
to guide our way
The beauty of light
clings to the streaming rays
of day and night
enchanting us
with a vision that plays
away our trying to make sense
out of the joy of innocence
The more we surrender
the less we know
and the less we know
the lighter and brighter
we become
The smudge pots
of our so-called wisdom
were never our own
Thankful to be grateful
for what might never be known
whatever we call
the unreachable star
the distance is far
from our human reach
What has flown away
may be what saves us
for when we play
we touch the impossible dream
and make it seem
ever more real
to feel
an invisible way
Funny how happiness
comes to bless us
when we’ve given up
did we ever consider
that we might
find
our worth
in helplessness
The morning star rises
over the horizon
slowly beaming rays
of light
across the golden fields
like search lights looking
for a place to settle
infusing the landscape
with blossoming glory
to tell the story
of where the light has been
All creation dances and bows
to the greatest beauty
we will ever know
in the sacred shelter
of the Beloved’s Heart
Pure Love touches
tickles….plays
sings….giggles….laughs
dances…..glances
whirls….swirls….twirls
and unfurls
in the glorious delight
of the pure Joy
of Loving
O sweet Love
journey with me
inch along the rim
of my heart
until your tenderness
softens the scars and wounds
draw back the veil
and let the beauty of love
open the portal
guiding you to enter
and penetrate
these walls
of the sacred sanctuary
where I wait for thee
to set me free
find the secret
that unlocks my heart
and steal the key
tear away the thorns
covering the walls
venture inside the layers
of rose petals
that surround
the enchanting fragrance
hidden deep inside
come near
when the moon is high
and vision
is clear and true
so I will know it is you
there are so many pretenders
destroyers of innocence
who ply the senses
and imitate love
O Beloved One
this heart has saved
its finest wine
for the light
of your arrival
Let your mystic heart
whisper the secrets to me
and when you come
sing the song
I long to hear
O…..my dearest love….
you are the bringer of dawn
the colors
of the morning sky
the mystery
that bids me fly
Open the wings of beauty
with your love
and guide us home
to the Soul
with room enough
for all who yearn for you
I long to soothe
that sacred brow
sheltered in the gaze
neath those precious lashes
wet with tears of Joy
blessing our union
You know I will wait for thee
while you create
and then
O Beloved One
come home to me
and rest
next to my heart
What song do you hear within you?
What treasures hide within your chest?
Do you go out under the sky…….and sing?
Can you trust the listening universe?
Do you celebrate the waves of feeling……the beauty that flows through you?
How do you allow it to express through you….?
Do you dance…..cry……..pray……love…….create……..laugh……celebrate?
How do you respond to this precious life you have been given?
We share divine breath…..divine light………divine beauty……….how do we answer?
