and I was born to run and hide
until that fateful day
I stood and fought and the fighting
has never stopped
a fate-full day of life

He offered His hands to me then
full of life.
And I willingly kissed His wounds;
Tasting the Blood of eternal Love.

I followed the Pied Piper to the mountain
went with Bilbo Baggins on adventure

but the mountain closed before I got there
while Bilbo's adventures came to an end

Two influences two escapes
and along came a man called Jesus

Jesus who gives the reality to the tale
and set me free in real time

Over mountains to live out
my very own unique adventure.

this story book forever being written
is the story of all

we meet in the Sunrise
wish upon stars

take on the struggle of freedom
to live fully a life

this story has an ending
in the end there is a beginning.

you were not ready for this moment
until now
it needed you to experience all that you have
to realise the potential of the present

only the Spirit of Love
from outside this limited animal understanding
could command me" love enemies" and it make perfect sense.

your love came into me then
a polished wooden floor
and I knew you loved me
caressed memories half forgotten
lived on in my searching soul
it was you who led me fed me
this longing was in fact yourself
these childhood touches of yours
the real living eternal love.

into loves forging flame
I offer my heart to burn
all the dross of attachment
to fall away from me
and to be free again to love
a pure love transparent flame
of blue and green and red
the dawning of a new day.

there are still surprises

for you to be surprised

a way to pull you out

unexpected, from your mind

there are still surprises

coming for you, on their way

personalised, just for you

there are still surprises.

We have travelled far since last Summer
Purple Crocuses peep upward, sunward
while buds are green tipping tree branches.
Our love is almost one year older, wiser,
hopefully we will take our chances, to love
this coming season a full cup, overflowing.
We have travelled far in our hearts, searching,
and found some comfort in the wild familiar.
