Does a tree beg a bird to stay
perched upon its branches
afraid that it may fly away one day?
Does it allow the bird do as birds do
and love it as it makes nest for a day?
Perched upon my branches, many have been
lovers and friends alike
their all akin to kin
Some reside in my trunk, tucked closely to my core
others on my longest branches, ready to explore.
All of them free to leave, but few freely stay
I give to them the light of my love, blessing them every way
The branches that litter my roots are lessons long gone by
clipped by birds whom I was afraid to let free
remembrance to birds tied down
will surely break free
Let it be
fear not of lost love
but love kept in captivity

Heart full of hope, aspiring above the clouds
Enchanted by winds of change, entranced by shapely form
Fulfilled by ones own whole, without need for another's soul
But a desire which one day meets fruition

Heart full of hope, know new light brings new life
An oyster to those who desire to aspire to reach their desire
A symphonie of emotion expressed through a devotion to ones own self
Heart full of hope, take a leap of faith
Take what is truly yours
Love every mistake

Heart full of hope, help me stay strong along the way
the path is long and treacherous
please help
light my way

Letting go can seem such a task
when you feel so stuck in the past
Breathe deeply, feel the present
The gift of life is ever evident
Raise your eyes so you can plainly see
Absolution from injustice
begins by honoring the love behind its plea
Feel it
Breathe it
Forgive your Foe
Because life is a mirror
It wants to be freed
Let go

Walking down a shady grove
trees shimmer in twilights fading plight
a warm breeze caresses your body, embracing your whole
walking alone, but not at all lonely

Twilight fades into a bright night
full of stars dancing with one another
joyful in their delight
A small smile of satisfaction
a natural reaction
of the present moment

Embrace all that is, the here and now
let it wash over you and relieve your frown
Need not be haunted by past transgressions,
or be fearful of the future, of ones own expectations.
Accept all the good,
that is our birthright
Embrace love
your own inner light
