The many paths of Life offer
Each of us a different tour
On journeys, at the same times
Each living our walk through our own minds
As I sit worried that my boys
Will have to soon play with war's toys
Others I see live in love's grasp
Stepping into wedded bliss at last
People becoming moms and dads
Others crying they've lost all they had
Children in slums dancing to
Their little drums made of buckets, who
Don't know where their next meal's from
Still others live high lives upon
Their own mountains in castles
The rest of us only dream of
A father buries his child today
A daughter sends her mother away
To be tended to by others
A teen stops a bully from another
Attack on an unsuspecting foe
The teacher wrings her hands and shows
Emotion she'll be criticized for
As she receives a pink slip out the door
Caring for the children of
Moms and dads who work, not love
Mom and dad scream their frustrations
At each other over admonitions
From their broken children who
Will probably end up like them, too
As the circle of life goes
We are born into the dark throes
Of whatever our fate is here
As we must learn year over year
Who we are as compared to others
Finding our ways through this life's doors
To a state of mind, not place
As we cannot hide from our own face
That stares back at us in mirrors
Holding the eyes of our souls' terrors
So in a sky full of countless stars
What does it matter where we are
Our problems seem so small
When we consider other's plights, all
Dwarf our own despair as the
Arc of Life does guarantee
We will walk on other's paths
And never see the Footprints that
Show up beside our every step
It is we who won't accept
That we are held up in our lives
By Angels who keep step with our stride
Are we so consumed by selfishness
That we won't accept God's promise
To never give us more than we can bear
Trusting beside us He's always there
How hard life is speaks of our minds
If we don't surrender in kind
Of how we think things should always be
Not having faith that He loves each
Of His children, He does not give
Us the torment we Choose to live
He is only by us to balance
Our faltered steps when we chance
To break out of ourselves as we
See others live more miserably
He placed us there so we can see
We've so much to treasure gratefully
My grandmother said "In hard times,
Don't look up in dark envy,
Shield your eyes from coveting
What others have that's inviting
Always look down and you will find
Others who need you to mind
Their deeper losses, as you'll see
Life isn't so bad for thee"
So each time I start to cry
About the problems in my life
I remember Great-Anna's words
My consciousness seeks other worlds
In which I'll find another who
Needs me to hold them up, too
For who said God's Angels aren't we
The ones who He sent to set others free
Yes, we'll always need a hand
Up on the ladder to His Eden
But if we haven't reached behind us
To hold another's hand as we climb up
We'll only go as far as we
Helped another up gracefully
As we are here to be Light to
Others in darkness who need us, too
We are His gentle hand offered
To touch others in devoted Love
For without us, Who is God
Does He exist without Us

Hold back the Veil for me a time
Allow me a moment on the Vine
Of Life's Sweet Fruit grown ripe for me
The Spirit of One, Eternally

On my darkest, most lonely night
After hours of the saddest tears I'd cried
I'd begged of heaven to answer my pain
To ease my sorrows or let me die
There was a full moon above mountain cliffs
Endless empty roads I drove
Through my tears I traveled in circles
As with my pain I'd no where to go
Then in a bright flash in my mind
A Lady appeared in front of me
I only saw Her flowing white robes
And a Blue sash cover Her crown heavenly
The kindest gaze I'd ever known
Showed me the loving care in Her eyes
Her arms outstretched to welcome me
Into the fold of Her warmth and smile
Her presence begged my heart to let go
To release my mountain of ache to Her
Allow Her to simply rock me gently
Feel Her love wrap me as would a Mother
I don't recall the road I drove on
Or how my car stayed between the lines
I was so enraptured by Her
To all else I wanted to stay blind
I no longer felt my age
I was as a babe again
Never wanting to leave Her embrace
Never wanting to feel alone again
Once Her majestic presence passed from me
My tears had dried and I felt so free
Only needing to stay awake to go home
Carrying with me Her love, Most Holy
I wondered if I'd see Her again
And She didn't disappoint me
As everywhere I looked thereafter
Blue Orbs of Her Love showed up frequently
Could I trust what happened to me
Had I gone insane or mad
I truly thought it mattered not
As tucked deep in my heart Her dear grace I had
Blessed Mother of The Holy Word
Now I see She visits often
All of Her cherished children everywhere
She blesses, smiles, begs us to repent
She prays for us that we will be strong
Live forgiveness in each soul we pardon
For only loving one another so
Can She count us in Her Sacred Garden

Every time we meet someone
Of like mind, hobbies, what if's
We find we start to fall in love
As we project on them our gifts
I love you's and My dear friend
Fall loosely from our eager hearts
Until the onion is peeled back
And we see in them our faults
Then as fast as we ran into
A friendship or a coupling
We find ourselves backing out of
All promises we were making
We fall first, question later
Why someone else again fell shy
Of the picture we carry in
Our hearts of those we wish were nigh
Idealized romantic flights
Take our minds onto the shores
Of another's precious life
And into their heart's corridors
And once there we find ourselves
In the carnival's mirrored maze
Everywhere we look we find
Another image of our own face
Once we're freed of one glass maze
We are left alone once again
Gliding through life in search of
Our hearts in other loves and friends

With each sunrise and each nights fall
We are born and die again
As with another Dawn to be
Risen, we new women and men
Each night when we fall into dreams
It is a form of death we find
Ourselves are off to other realms
Whisking through the Dreamer's Mind
Then with each new Dawn we wake
Back into this reality
Wishing we'd slept just one more hour
To fly among the Eagle's fields
I'm not afraid to fall asleep at night
So why do I fear the day
When it is my soul decides
It's time for me to go away
A life lived in constant fear
Of what kind of death we'll meet
Is no Life at all, no cheer
Why bother waking up from the
Dreams we trust will return us
Back to our world of light and dust
Why do we not understand
Each death is a rebirth for us
As we know we'll wake from the
Nightmares that make us writhe at night
Why don't we trust to be gently
Placed in a new Dawn of Light
How many times are we all told
When it is death will find us
Our Spirits will have already soared
Reborn in Surrender and Trust

I'm learning, Lord, please be patient
I know I have prayed countless times
For forgiveness and repentance
Yet I keep falling to my mind
Help me, Lord, to see that you
Are forever by my side
The journey through this darkest night
Begs that I pray for your Light
I know I fall short often, Lord
But love me anyway?
Don't ever give up on me
As I'm but a child led astray
Yes there is grey hair on my head
And lines upon my face that say
I should be older, wiser now
But I'm More of a child today
Life's hard lessons have worn down
The thickest walls around my heart
Bearing to this crueler world
I am but a babe at its start
So hold me up, tight, and so near
I cannot walk this world alone
Please help me take my first steps to
Sit beside you at your Throne
Yes my ego made me believe
I need nothing and no one
But I now know I was so wrong
And beg you not leave me alone
I admit I know nothing
Yet crave to Feel Your precious love
Please take my hand and walk me to
The God I was I was created of
I'll be Your pen, Your truest heart
I've given up on defining
Myself by lies of this world
It's in You I've found everything
Let me rest now for a while
Walk through my dreams of finding Thee
Still walking in glades of Eden
I'll join you in Eternity
Prepare for me a place at your feet
I give You me willingly
I've much to learn if I hope to
Be worthy of Your forgiving

Sitting high upon a hill
Watching a dancing painting of
A rhapsody of regal hues
Splashed across the horizon
Springtime's trying to debut
Precious flowers around my feet
Grasses wave in a balmy breeze
Trees' branches tipped with Spring's new green
Trees filled with swooning songbirds that
Sing to me twilight's melodies
Before they gently tuck their heads
To fly off into heaven's dreams
The gentle arc of Gaia pulls
Us all into another night
But not before we're enraptured
By the Star that bids us goodnight
The cold chill of Winter is gone
Gaia awakes another year
Nothing ever delights me more
Than to be witness to Spring's cheer
All quiets as the Golden Orb
Dips behind the vast Blue Ridge
Then the troubadours of night
Come out to begin their chorus
I cannot make myself go home
I want to take in every scent
Every shadow, every light
Each sound, Spring's every sentiment
The floral heavenly landscape
Replaced now by a canopy
Of Diamonds strewn across the night
Clusters of souls, signs, dazzling
Still I must bid this day goodnight
And fall into dreams of my own
Perhaps I'll find there the sweet birds
Who serenaded me with song
Then Awaken to another
Day, in childlike awe of a new
Dawn, in which the Golden Star will
Create a masterpiece anew
With its sunbeams dripping hues
That God will compose for me
Another day of miracles
Created by the Dreamer's Dreams

The Spirit follows to where we
Seek comfort in sanctuaries
Closing ourselves off from Time
Meditate seeking Truth's glory
But we find we can't escape
From ourselves, as we'll always be
In wherever it is we've run
We cannot hide the need that we
All have to look within ourselves
Meet who it is we really are
From mountaintops to ashrams
It is in Silence we hear the call
The Voice that speaks only of Love
That drowns out our self condemning thoughts
That washes us in cleansing fire
As we finally see the Light in us
Is not separate from the All
We are but a beam in the
Rainbow of Souls that are a part
Of Heaven's Holy Symphony
For Here Light is the same as Sound
Each note of God's Harp so strong
It's here we finally see we are
Needed to create One Divine Song

If we're always Here and Now
Where were we before
This moment we find ourselves in
And where is it we'll go
If there is no there or then
No yesterday or today
How is it we'll navigate
This realm's laws and ways
If Space is a mental construct
Of measurements in Time
Where were my feet before I stepped
Into God's infinite mind
Close your eyes to understand
The Zero-point you're in
Where everything and every thought
Whispers in timeless winds
Life is no more than the sum
Of all the ways in thought and deed
WE changed in a single Moment
In Love's Endless Eternity
