She lies patiently while her babes drink from her body
She is calm after eating the meal delivered by her mate
He sits in front of her protective of her and his young cubs

She bats almost playfully at a blade of irritating grass that
Has been tickling her ear for what seems like a long time
The pups now sleep their tiny months still on her sore teats

She is calmer now for the run is over but inside something
Stirs maybe her female ancestors showing her new patterns
A new way of understanding almost forgotten by the others

She looks at her babies and softly purrs in her proudness
They **** absently in their sleep twitching in new dreams
She is relaxed serene could almost be sleeping herself

But do not be fooled by this white lionessfor she is strong
And she will fight to the death for her family her clan and
Her pride they are her reason for living her reason for being

She gently licks each of her cubs heads being extra careful
To avoid touching them with her huge sharp teeth thinking
Best to leave me and mine alone it's best not to try to hurt us

Doing the right thing even when no one is watching
                                 That's  integrity

Restless yearning brings glass tears
To eyes blinded by regret

New born babies apparently spend most
Of their time doing nothing ,just being

Their parents on the other hand are likely
To be in a mad whirlwind of non-stop doing

Most of us only go into Being mode on holiday
It usually takes a few days for us to wind down

We hardly ever have the time to just be ourselves
Mindfulness is a way of redressing the imbalance

You can gently retrain your mind to accept just Being
Your mind needs to rest as well as work ,try just being

At times the emotions we keep inside
Seem almost too much to bear
Anger grief loss and guilt sometimes
Stay and refuse to go away
Until the only option is quiet despair

But somewhere from deep within your
Soul comes the sound you've waited for
And your swollen tearful eyes look
Upwards to see that chunk of light
That leads you to your place of peace

Keep looking my dear friend and you'll
See it's really there waiting for your
Gentle eyes to see life again in all its
Magical glory and its light will lead
You to the healing power of your soul

Loves tapestry unites us in
Interconnectedness and
Interdependence of souls
