a girl dancing
whirling the air

almost flying
a voice on the wind

a distant pathway
mountains come and gone

rivers in the desert
erosion into sand

shade of a tree
the providence of Birds.

the ancient voice of the drum
the crackling of fire

the chanting of the hunt
- a retelling in song

the song-maker
breathes the wind

patters the rain
silently falls the snow

turns a star into a Sun
caressing all skin

drums hail on windows
muffles all voices in mist and fog.

downwind of world events
a small hand to help along
prayer to banish hate from hearts
(your own especially of course)
is oftentimes all you have got.

there is a truth along all paths
a piecing together of life

a jigsaw is slowly solved
a knowing deep within all spheres

setting out once again
a new perspective takes shape

the union of simplicity
a way to be, a way of love.

we, as children, rode the skies,
played with freedom under our wings,
could feel the kinship with earth,
knew love flew with Birds,
the world would have us denied
the world of men, warring with hate
but nothing can rob us
our childhood is lived still
we children of Jesus and the Universe.

many would have you believe
strong arm tactics including war

are the answer to life
well lived

love everlasting seems out of reach
a made up state of 'being'

yet love is yet to be conquered
yet to be totally banished

and love will be at all ends
love will vanquish everything.

all is forgiven
-fuel of forever

freedom
set free

gates of paradise
forever flung wide with love.

deep as the unknown Universe
mind the deepest well on Earth

a love stronger than iron
heart beats in union

forever waits with arms wide
joyful faces to welcome you home.

channelled through the eye of love
stripped of delusion

challenged to see the truth
unfolding loves solicitude

movements of your mind
-where thoughts are revealing

face to face with facts
-and the facts are kind.

where love resides
love will gaze
forever upon you

with a heart in awe
I kneel at the feet
of woman called Eve.

there are many gifts
but the gift of yourself
is the very best.

******* in the Divine breath
food for the heart to beat
rich blood love of a God.

Spoken eternally into being-
Adam must have fallen in love
-with Eve

they must have danced
around their paradise
singing of their love.

a new shore
ancient noise

the welcome
expected arrival

gathered up
an ocean wave

raindrops
a falling sky

washed soul
eternal embrace.

wind kissed skin
star warmed blood

mindscape inverted
a distant dream

sleeping with angels
a cradled heart

speaking with silence
listening with devotion.

Bipedal apes
sharpening knives

to fashion
a quill

writing down stories
made from songs

around the fire
a shared meal.

a Gnat can make you dance
(just for fun)
can make you cuss
-growl like a Bear.

storm tossed
reeling mind

the battering wind

howling banshee
spellbound witch

cowering.

Sunup
clear silent skies

a dream wakes
from nightmare

all is still
a poet at prayer.

releasing happiness
letting it go its way

without self-questioning
second guessing

not with guilt
to mar your joy

enjoy happiness
to the utmost.

coded mathematical robotics
swing states of understanding
x marks a voted future
x marks a voted decline
x is the sum of all desires
x is a thumbprint in ink
x marks the spot of decision
x is a gamble laid down
your x is an understanding
your x can swing the future
your x is constantly feted
your x is a chromosome.

I could love a Woman
solely without distraction

a mate for life
a friend forever

but I get to love everyone
be friends forever

yes my physical being
travels a seeming lone road

but that road is teeming
with fellow travellers

its a spiritual path
where all inherit a spiritual forever.

its often a question of method
a parting of the ways

a disagreement of answers
to common problems

seemingly insurmountable
disagreements

a forgetting of universal
family connections

start with where someone 'is'
where they are 'at'

and then
weave your songs

themed lyrics
deep connections

a unity
of love.

a day for 'jabs'
fine needles

Flu
Covid

shoulder muscle
ache.

to acknowledge the inner nomad
the one travelling on
its best to travel light
with an unburdened mind.

understanding is a precious gift
the unfolding of the divine plan

but love is all
and love lasts.

a spiritual purpose
living the divine spark

consumed by fire
fire of love.

caught up in decisions
and dreams

being grounded
within attraction

knowing of paths taken
the effort of the road

travelling onward
into the unknown

and living for the moment
unfolding the dream

a way to go
into eternity.

all colours have a reason
written deep in our souls

we will never know the fullness
of intuition in this life

-while all the colours
go about their divine task.

having choices limited in scope
a kind of premature death
bringing the grave ever close
that so you can peer into it
carrying a great load on your back
weighted down with little choice
as you jump six feet down
a forgotten life in a forgetful world.

stoic is one answer to the coming onslaught
wrapped up inside the fortress walls.
Snow is expected to be especially early
but of course snow has its own timing
-comes at the bidding of someone 'other'
that 'other' can see much farther than I.
Who could claim knowledge enough
-to be master of their circumstances?
surely all knowledge is passing away
leaving faith as the only sanity worthwhile
as you sit within your castle walls
listening to the wind whipping the snow.

scudding faces, fantastical beasts
a sky full of war

realms of blue, win on through
Heavens gate swung wide

the daily sky dance
where eye meets star.

pulses of love
overcoming all

reaching out
from beyond

loves all is love
definitive purity

love is a heartbeat
-a shared love

loves heart was the first to beat
from everlasting to everlasting

love always was
- a shared beating heart

night devouring more of day
cold on the air warmth in the hearth

spinning away from the Sun
deep black afire with stars

bonfires of garden clutter
spiralling smoke from chimneys

winter has her lovers
bundled up under the covers.

to love without reward
to give freely

to love even when hated
to give utterly

to love in the face of death
to have given all.

to be on a journey
sets free the mind and heart

-the constant
in a world of change

travelling a cosmic road
a spiritual journey

the road unravelling
-each moment.

storytellers all
around ancient fire

stories of the hunt
stories of laughter

the stories of love
stories of horror

set to the beat
of drums.

some want recognition at any price
foregoing the boon of constantly
being ignored.

voices within voices
ancient as the universe

softly spoken love
shouts of hunters

within star fire
the birth of a child

storytellers after the dance
a magic in words.

speaking the invisible visible
sharing a constant acceptance
acknowledging unity is real.

putting beauty on your lips
repeat the word 'Butterfly'
and hearing beauty breathe.

kindred are easy to love
the other personalities
will test your integrity, often.

what will you do when your accusers at the gates of eternity
the ones you condemned as being beneath your mercy
remind you that they are your sisters and brothers?

More than just another 'saying'
deep truth resonates in harmony
with the ultimate truth,
' But for the grace of God, go I '

I ask the prayers of the little ones
the ones closest to the heart of love
especially the souls, like all others
bestowed at conception.... and
ripped from their mothers womb.

there is a base creature
lives deep in the dark

who growls and howls
trying to get out

the gnashing of teeth
a serpent tongue

the one that blames
all others

whilst preening their image
in a mirror that lies.

to do good as opposed to evil
and more

put your love into action
-songs for peace and forgiveness

unity of John Lennon's
-Dreamers
