Devil
The Terry Tree Aug 2014
Hidden grace, no light for revelation
To pass such limits is to become ******
Like the dragon or a serpent monster
Your myth has become fixed in minds on earth

All the forces that disturb you demand
Darkness is your indetermination
Blazed in trails of blackness you command
Symbols of evil and demonic birth

In the Underworld you plot and saunter
Grotesque in cloven hooves or horns you stand
You are our fear the tormentor at hand
Stealing our only hope for self-love worth

You disturb and weaken every nation
Eliminating those who will prosper

You have a tool box filled with shapes galore
A choir of demons at your disposal
You wear the face of animals to prove
That you exist but will not show your face

Temptation is your favorite proposal
As you create ****** carnage and gore
Attacking innocents world wide; global
It is your goal to blacken and erase

It is unclear when you will make a move
Your starless magic uncontrollable
Your angry heart is inconsolable
In every mouth you leave an awful taste

The only thing that satisfies is war
Beelzebub to slaughter good it behooves

Clipping spiritual wings of all beings
Entering into those at their weakest
Supposition of your essence is sly
What you are has no particular shape

You've made a pact to stand against Jesus
Disintegrating all Saints from seeing
Wicked ways are in all ways the cheapest
To ingress means whole-purity escapes

Human life is interwoven freely
Free will allows the mind to go deepest
When we take the path we take the steepest
Secreted in your invisible cape

To return is without guaranteeing
With mastery disposing us to die

I believe that beneath us is a rug
One that you delight in pulling away
Much like this rug our minds become feeble
And we begin to believe everything

Our moral and metaphysical ways
Begin to end as our shoulders will shrug
Entire atmospheres are grey for days
To open up our mouths yet not to sing

What we decide can often be lethal
A personal domain of hellbent maze
As we lose sight our lives become a daze
Of which no hope or light can often bring

Our deception is your favorite drug
When we feel at our worst you are gleeful

The seeker of hidden knowledge must keep
A balance like the Hermit's inner peace
Otherwise the journey will fall victim
To flowing currents of hateful power

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing you have fleece
To hold on to our light is to succeed
Pull back the reigns of life commanding "Cease!"
Do not fall from your enlightened tower

Satan is a trickster sent to sicken
Our ability to wager disease
To believe that he exists is to please
Negative energy to devour

The best part of me is only asleep
Isolation has become addicted

Prince of Darkness, Antichrist, King of Hell
Appearing to the blind slave of instinct
You have no sovereignty be gone from me
I confront thee I am ready and still

Lucifer, Angel of Darkness extinct
You do not know my spirit guides that well
Distraction is what makes you so succinct
I have no desire to go downhill

Your downward spiral was a slide to see
How you manipulate what others think
Mephistopheles, Archfiend of distinct
Measures to tear others down you conceal

I dispel, I kiss forever farewell
Rest quietly in harmony dreaming

A lullaby for you I have written
On my heart as ancient as Egyptians
The Vedas and Sumerian temples
Will embrace you even in rejection

Your actions are despised in omission
I believe your bitter self was bitten
Release your broken spirit condition
Open your eyes and arms to affection

We can all be as one in one vessel
There are good folks and there is suspicion
Prayer of my song, a hymn of permission
Release thy tortured ways to connection

Evil drifts up, Listen, Listen, Listen
As our bodies fill with light and tremble

Shhhhh.......

Spirit Dolphin

To be in tune in natures light
To be in touch and resonate
Intelligent communicate
Heartbeats of love and breath of life

Superior to human sight
Your sound waves and reverberates
To be in tune in natures light
To be in touch and resonate

You touch the stars and elevate
Our spirits to become alight
Giving us freedom to ignite
Centers begin to emanate
To be in tune in natures light

Beneath the sun, beneath the moon
You teach us how to breathe with care
Oceanic friend, solar flare
Communicating our monsoon

Teaching in us how to commune
Opening our minds to beware
Beneath the sun, beneath the moon
You teach us how to breathe with care

Your innocence rests like lagoon
On the surface emotions bare
Vulnerability is there
Beneath the sun, beneath the moon

A good omen to protect us
Saving the lives of so many
Selfless creature giving plenty
From outer space some do discuss

To touch you frees us from raucous
To ride with you fulfills empty
A good omen to protect us
Saving the lives of so many

With you we find our playfulness
Self-confidence more than any
Never to lose our assembly
Connect us all with inner trust
A good omen to protect us

Helping others finding our truth
To be One Universally
What might seem strange is certainly
A reflection upon our youth

Make bright our eyes with wisdom's root
Free from shame inadvertently
Helping others finding our truth
To be One Universally

Though we may taste forbidden fruit
What we will learn so artfully
Forgives our aches so perfectly
Flipping through curious pursuit
Helping others finding our truth

Flamingo Spirit
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
Initiate our souls into the light
Flamingo yes your hue is burning bright
Your colors lighting up the night
We migrate out of darkness within you

Enlighten us to heal our weary hearts
To be with love and never to depart
Appreciating brand new starts
Your beauty resonates us deep within

We want nothing more than with you to be free
To fly away from stress along with thee
Our wings could only hope to grow
As beautiful as yours unfold
You are the breath of freshened air
Our spirits call to breathe repair

In my memory of you I see poise
Noticing your stance without a noise
Perfectly still you are seen
Tranquil in life's pond so serene

As we pass through to become in ourselves
Teach us how to become nothing else
Than the magnetic beautiful creatures
Spirit designed with every feature

We are a gift to the flowing
Always coming always going
There never seems to be enough
Time in the universe thereof
To take a moment to enjoy
And therefore we destroy

This is an ode to your sweet nature
A song of love and light not danger
A memory we are creating
A vibrant show of figure skating

In the circle of acceptance now
Our wings are rising up to bow
Take in the scenery with deepened breath
Never afraid of shaking hands with death

For we are peaceful and at rest
Knowing we always do our best
A true beginning has no end
Drinking from life as we befriend
The journey of our soul path
In a spiritual rose bath

Amen

Camel Spirit
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
You carry a weight that's so heavy
A caravan filled with so many
You journey along, the sand is your song
And heat filled with sun rays aplenty

With your guidance we soon will become
Unified with God's grace and God's love
Your knowledge is great, sufficient in strength
Standing small as you tower above

You feel pain just the same as we do
You will cry tears of sadness for you
Tune into the light, your spirit is bright
You reflect what sunlight shines in you

Teaching us to heal and to move on
Even dark times when sadness has won
To listen up close, is what I have chose
Especially when life comes undone

Spirit Camel, you never run dry
Capabilities keep you alive
You're a natural at heart, playing the part
Mother Nature intended you by

To ride on with you makes me feel safe
With you there is no rush and no haste
Taking our time, learning how to decide
With a rhythm of peaceful-like pace

Self sustaining without an ego
Spreading love every place that we go
We survive day and night, sharing your plight
We are one with your wandering soul

As your milk provides food for your calf
You have cared for us on your behalf
Without a complaint, and in your restraint
It appears that you smile and laugh

You must see how humans sometimes seem
Like a nightmare and not like a dream
Yes we can be, idiotic you see
We have so much to learn from your scheme

I am honored to know you great one
May your message be carried with love
Through winds and life's storms, may we be reborn
With your courage and gentle wisdom

Seagull Spirit
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
In glorious flight owning daylight
You magistrate freedom across
An ocean with your own box
Of twilight that you share
In a land of fish
A moonlit wish
With wings that
Kiss the
Sky

Throughout your expeditions to ground
Your voice is a dynamic sound
None can ignore your presence
What would Pandora say
When you sing that way?
Higher you fly
Distances
Many
Won't

Instruct us to use our heart compass
Open our eyes to perspective
Show us potential to live
When self-doubt is about
Like a grain of sand
May our cares be
Found without
A need
For

The liberty of our latitude
Is the length of our attitude
The way the wind blows effects
The direction we go
Our choices to be
Curiously
Ebb and flow
Waving
Lo

Behold a new dawn of bright feather
Consider the stormy weather
Notice how cloud and sun
Witness the Mother
Nature at play
Survey to
Coastal
Bay

May we find our way as you have shown
Limitless unbounded and flown
So shallow is the worry
No longer a fury
A calming has come
Soaring above
With truth in
Our hearts
Won

Riding the currents of emotions
Soaring aloft mental oceans
Wings spanned in physical worlds
Discover us great pearls
Of wisdom and poise
Joyful in noise
Good solid
Gifts of
Sage

Cleansing our spirits of past trifles
Being careful not to stifle
New growth with every gust gained
A quill, a crest, a quest
A mountain peaked with
Knowledge like the
Pier we are
Destined
To

A gate to become the best versions
Of our outstanding self-landing
Into the stars we have been
The fringe dust of pinion
Divine with the wind
Beginning free
And renewed
With no
End

Sheep Spirit
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
In fields you walk with cloven wanderlust
With blankets carried on your back as fleece
Protecting fellow sheep-fold innocence
From devious behavior in the flock
Smiling as you bleat and stride as golden
Reflecting rays like sunlit drops of milk

A lamb of God your knowledge is your milk
Your curiosity breathes wanderlust
A message from the ancient one baas golden
Engraved upon your heart and curls of fleece
Observe the blessed range within your flock
Stray not for you may lose your innocence

A fog in hills may blind your innocence
Beware the wolf will take more than your milk
And with each day you bond among your flock
Behold the beauty of group wanderlust
We thank you for your warm and cherished fleece
That soothes us as earth's twilight breaks golden

Glory to the impossible golden
For myths of your spiritual innocence
Merely trumpets what liberates your fleece
The holy grail is your chalice of milk
Discovered in a cave of wanderlust
Restful within the shadow of your flock

What joy is raised in stables of your flock
An offering of ritual golden
Pasture of thirsty hearts in wanderlust
You teach us to hold fast to innocence
How precious is the richness of your milk
Our comfort is to rest our heads on fleece

A new dawn to behold an age of fleece
A new dusk to protect an ancient flock
A new day to preserve the gift of milk
A new memory to hold futures golden
A never ending age of innocence
A satiated age of wanderlust

Fruitful wanderlust of black sage fleece
Shepherds innocence to a white cloaked flock
Prepare ye golden moments with thine milk

MIRACLE
The Terry Tree Nov 2014
My miracle
The spherical
Beauty of blue skies
Swirling in your eyes
My pleasant surprise
A dream come true
A remarkable view
Courage drips
All over you

You make me want to
Drop my armor
Let it fall
Open the well
Undo the spell
Of insecurity
I have spun
A self imposed
Judas come undone
Unbelieving
There could be
One
A miracle
For me
In us

You are the last unicorn
You found me hiding
From myself
For better or for worse
You lifted the curse
White light
Ripping at my seams
How long have I been here?
A year or two my dear?
Perhaps longer...
It seems
I can feel myself
Getting
Stronger

I remember the days
I sat in a maze
A fog, a haze
Of my own disappointments
And all my own rage
Hate and anger
Had constructed
A cage
No one could get to
No, not even you
But you waited
You stayed
You listened
You prayed

No one knows exactly
How we feel
It's hard to believe
What someone says
Especially
The vulnerable and real
Oh how I could steal
Steal away into the night
Back into a corner
Of my own fright
A beautiful
Panic
A tragic
Manic
Episode
"Of nobody loves me!"
"Nobody's home!"
The lights are on
But where have I gone?

No pill could fulfill
What you give to me
The infinite promise
To believe in every
Attempt that I make
To get back up again

Beating ourselves up
Is a waste of time
If only to learn
How we can fly
And say goodbye
To behaviors
That will break
The spirit you have made
The soul that you created
My all, my everything
The thing I wake up for
To sing
You bring me joy
When all I have is pain
You taught me how
To dance in the rain
You taught me how
To climb a tree
To get away from
Anything
To fall in love
With nature
Like painted lightening
You truly are my savior
Always fighting
For my love

My miracle
The spherical
Beauty of blue skies
Swirling in your eyes
My pleasant surprise
A dream come true
A remarkable view
Courage drips
All over you

Watch how you inspire
Watch me leap
Watch me rocket
A blast of fire
Across the horizon
Write your name in the sky
He's Alive
Divine Mother
Grandfather Fire
Hold me while I cry
I cannot deny

Calling all angels
Saints of all religions
Gurus, Yogis
Masters of
The spiritual truth
Allah, Yahweh
Maker you soothe

Heal in us the
Mental abuse
The hurt of other people's views
The judgements that we did not choose
Finally
We'll call a truce

I believe in my heart
There is a place
Where God
Has filled
An empty
Space
I do not need
To see your face

I cannot explain
The feeling it gives
The SPIRIT LIVES
Your spirit IS

OUR miracle
The spherical
Beauty of blue skies
Swirling in your eyes
OUR pleasant surprise
A dream come true
A remarkable view
Your courage drips
All over you

Teacher, mentor, sage and chief
You empty out the hollow grief
Burglarize our desolation
In the night you are the thief
While we sleep
The Santa Clause
Of chimney sweeps
A vacuum for our agony
In everything that we believe
I feel your peace
Wash over me
Thank you
For keeping the faith
When I could not
Conceive
Thank you for
Forgiving me

My rock
Our foundation
The touchstone
Of relation

What marvelous miracles
You do weave
I am the miracle
You are to me

Homestead
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
Your thoughts are kept warm
And unwithered by the bedside
Of an old tree with branches
That I found growing
In the valley of
Our affection

As I
Plant 
Spirit
And vigor
The seeds of 
My smile
Become one 
With pure 
Existence
And the 
Soil

In our tree
Every branch
Finds a particular path
In which to show
An ancient age that 
Time has passed on
For us to share
As new stems 
Grow and
Evolve

A garden of light
What a beautiful sight
Pulsating and flourishing 
As healthy leaves might

Birds resting and nesting
Befriending sunlight
We are the story of life's
Uncharted mystery
Planted in the memory
Of tomorrow's history
And the plantation
Of our heart's
Crop 

As we graze for days and days
For many years to come
We will harvest this
Homestead in the
Never ending
Landscape
Of our
Love

TWIN FLAME
The Terry Tree Nov 2014
O'er the ocean
By the sea
On the sand
Or in a tree
Wherever your
Heart beats
Wherever your
Blood red
Heart bleeds
I'll always be
Right next
To thee

You can climb
Every mountain
Any place you want to go
You are my fountain
I will stand beside you
Watch as your ocean
Waves and flows
A beautiful collision
Walking on water
Your blooms unfold
Our flowers grow
We levitate
We gravitate
In two
One another
We are
Stardust
Undercover

Meet me underneath
The sea
You are a mermaid
Diving into the deep
Everything imaginary
Exists with me
I'll be your seahorse
Float around you
I'll be your owl
Soaring down to
Offer you
A ride
You decide
Glide
On my wings
Rest your head
Face the magic
Of Queens
And Kings

Breathing under water
Is an art we have
Perfected
Unaffected
By the world that
Surrounds us
Even if
War has found us
We are blessed
I have you
You have me
A sturdy nest
Protectors
We are the directors
Of world peace

Nothing can stop
The brilliance
We possess
Watch as every
Constellation
Kneels before us
To confess
The joy
That they
Witness

Flying in the sky
I'll be your falcon
You can always
Count on me
Relentlessly

Resilience is my middle name
I know you feel the same
Two twin lights
We fight the storm
Of life
Our love is warm
Sending off our fires
Into the night
A blast of stars
Fireworks
Unite in the
Nursery of
Our heaven

One voice
One song
We shine like the moon
Above the jungle
Every lagoon
Coasting over every island
Eternal friends
Every bayou
Until earth bends
I'll go with you

We are
In the back pocket
Of every lover
Reaching in
They will find
The kisses
That we keep there
Our galaxies
Of affection
We are everywhere
In everything
Let the universe stare
Wherever we are
We are there
A magnetism of
Contagious smiles
A sound that
Resonates for miles

A definite glow
A laser light show
Atomic illumination
In the blink of an eye
The Big Bomb
Of Creation

We are the resolution
God's gift to evolution

Sharing our love
With every child
Every elder
Every homeless
Shelter

Let the universe stare
Wherever we are
We are there
A magnetism of
Contagious smiles
A sound that
Resonates for miles
And miles

Surround yourself with love and light
Embrace the darkness with the bright
God will help you to decide
Stretch your branches far and wide
Pray to Spirit "Lift Me Up!"
Divine Mother "Hold Our Trunks!"
Roots are growing endlessly
Friends surrounding peacefully
We breathe love in, We blow love out
Our tree is blowing flowers about
Around and round we chant to you
We feel your Spirit coming through
May we be blessed with family
As relatives in harmony
Show us O Lord that we may be
On earth as heaven graciously
May we join hands as One and see
Your vision for our Unity
Your sparkle is our family tree
Your eyes are stars that beam and gleam
We are the children of your dreams
You are in all our limbs and leaves
Our eyes reflect your shining gaze
One to another for endless days

Breaking the chains of
Weak slavery in my

Controlled not by
Useless desires
Destroyed not

Rising
Eyes wide open
In relief

I choose my trials wisely
From this moment on
I choose to learn
For the last time
Trials that no longer
Promise to teach me
Anything more
In a golden ratio
Of vibrating love
I engage the power
Of every beacon
Every tower
Resilient to
Shine

I choose to learn
For the last time
Trials that no longer
Teach me

Mental powers expanding
My cup of realization
Has the capacity
To hold an ocean
Of understanding
Awareness enlightening
Brightening knowledge
Surrounding me
In footfalls
Of cascading
Arms and light

I smile the indestructible smile
Within this ferris wheel
I balance
Rotating and fixed
Upright
Suspended freely
Compelling insight
Keeps me
Remaining right side up
As I revolve in this life

The milky serpents of stars above
Reveal a code of comprehension
For earth and celestial
Apprehension
A blinding
A blurring
Elements stirring
Strength

Great works of
Perseverance unfold
The beating sky beholds
An invitation opening
Beyond the gates of
Heaven and hell
Intertwined
Break the

You are the master

Shadows and streams
In the space between
Our hearts and minds
Seams of alchemy
Blowing stars into birds
To touch our courageous
Sunlit beams
Dripping
Kissing
We

Keep
Running from our light
Praying that we’ll stay
Painting colors oh so bright
In the emotions we display
Flying

We are a painting in one another
A brush stroke full of hope
A paradox of intimately curious
Wings that have found a way to cope
Building a birdhouse home
On the backs of each other
Bones and sacred stones
A paradox of intimately curious
Wild tornadoes

Embracing
We walk in dark we walk in day
With footsteps often clumsy
And telepathy is not as easy as
Psychics will convey

Your hair is made of flowers
Or at least it seems that way
Our hearts are painted gold close to
The way the yellow birds that play
Around us when we stand
Glowing in our space
Exclusively
Beneath the tree
We made
Where Amen’s tears
The sun god
Rain

Around our love
Rushing in rushing out
Breathing in breathing out
Hold me close push me away
Both of us praying the other
One will stay
Kneeling
Pray

We are a painting in one another
A brush stroke full of hope
A paradox of intimately curious
Wings that have found a way to cope
Building a birdhouse home
On the backs of each other
Bones and sacred stones
A paradox of intimately curious
Wild tornadoes

This is our butterfly parade

You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again

You are my unicorn
You are my buried treasure
You are the thing
Everyone says that
Does not exist
I feel you in my veins
I feel your tender bliss
I know your magic kiss
Never solicitous
Even when they say
You don't exist

We are stars
Communicating with each other
You are my sister
You are my brother
My Sacred father
Our Divine Mother
When I am asked
How do you know
Prove your higher power lives
I wonder how, I wonder if
People truly know what
Love is

I have never had to prove
The love that I feel
The way that your light
Can heal
Your touch
The chills that rush
Around my everything
My temple heart
My body's Internet

As I connect with
Lightworkers here on earth
We reach out to understand our birth
Together we experience
Your unforgettable worth
For without this light
I could not fight
My warrior heart would
Fall apart
And
Die

You are my strength from within

That is why
You are my dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again
And
Again

I don't have to win
I could never lose
I want to share your love
But we all have to choose
To see it on our own
To feel it in our blood
To make in you
A home

My Phoenix rising

When I think of what you created
The connections that we have
The starlight between us
The way that you guide us
The way that you lead us
I know we are only as far
Away from one another
As the next star

I sat on the beach
Trying to reach you
Earnest in my heart
Was my prayer
To feel you there
To stare
I looked to the heavens
My eyes married the sky
I watched as electricity
Vibrated and waved
Between each starlight
Stars, your creation
Just as we are
Your worldwide
Love destination
The stars shine together well
Let this be our magic
Let this be our spell

When we look into the night
Let this be a mirror for living
A way for us to understand
That we too can be giving
To each other
Shining light all around
One another
My neighbor
My sister
My landlord
My brother
Animals
Our Fathers
And our
Mothers

You make me proud
To be a star for you
With you
I am also a tree
I'm a bird
We are free
I am the song in your hands
Your favorite love letter
Your favorite note
Every word that you spoke
I am written on
The universe in your
Temple heart
And you are
By far
My earth
My wind
My water
You are
My fire
You are

My eternal breath of life

My dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul

Warm Beating Heart
The Terry Tree Nov 2014
Warm beating heart into the Cosmos
Weather cold or warm my chest beats love
To share with you from where upon the ground 
That I am standing, a vibration you will feel
Traveling through the earth to heal and heat
Your feet with love up into your chest through
Out stretched arms to share with you
A Universal love that trembles
Know with thoughtful pure intent
I meditate and share My life, 
My tree, My love, My friendship
Swing and Self Loved
Soul with
You

DANCE WITH ME
The Terry Tree Oct 2014
Will you dance with me?
Even in the stormy seas
Will you dance with me?
Let our spirits soar and swing
Can we hold on
While letting go
At the same time
Of everything
Throwing our cares
Like brilliant kites
Into the wind
Watch the sunrise
Never looking back
Again
Watch the sunset
Our inhibitions
Free to
Bend
Will you dance with me?
Illuminating

Follow me into the sky

Reaching out beyond the top
Our hands are linked
We cannot stop
Can we spin
And fall
And sink
Can we glide
And blaze
Within the blue
Twisting and turning
Like eagle lovers
Often do

Will you dance with me?
Let our inhibitions chime
Across the heavens
A storm of flames
All brilliant-like
We are
The sound
Of lightening
As we
Tango through the stars
Exploring galaxies
And Mars
There is no limit
To how far
We will frolic
In our waltz
The universe
Is ours

Will you dance with me?
Vibrate from head to toe
Rhumba and foxtrot
With our hearts
Whirl and sway
A feather dance
Of native love
In
Every
Way

Will you dance with me?
Can we spin
And fall
And sink
Can we glide
And blaze
Within the blue
Oh, how I want to be
Twisting and turning
Here with you
Like eagle lovers
Often do

Will you dance with me?
A dance for all time
A samba, a strut
A step where
We unwind
Releasing our fears
Painting our tears
Watching the sky
Become the canvas
Of our eyes
No longer
Dreaming
Of your
Spirit
Catching you
Catching me
Catching you
Eternally

Dance with me...

First Kiss
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
Silently each color
Rainbows across
The infinite mist
That invisibly cloaks
The grassy plains
Of this magnificent
Vulnerable earth

After the dawn
And in between
Each raven's song
We stand in awe
Before the lovely stars
Have cast more than
A thousand winks
From heaven's angels

Blooming with beams
Of radiance
If only to remember this...
The moment
Mother Nature
Gave to each of us
Her very first
Soft-brilliant kiss

SKYLINE
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
You are my skyline
The boundary line
Between earth and sky
My apparent horizon
You are the outline
Of my life
You are the building
Of my dreams
Against the twilight
You are the opening
You are the frame
You greet me in the morning and
You tuck me in at night
My lovelight

You are my
Skyline

How can I describe the
Days in and days out
Of walking this earth
Of being alive
What it means to survive
You illustrate the sketch
I am your design
As I walk the soul-path of this life
I step into your celestial sphere
I listen I observe your circle
Of love and light
Forever fascinated
I give you every doubt
I give you every fear
I watch the sunrise
In your eyes
On the horizon
Of each iris

However it is
That you love me
I am your fortunate child
When I feel your fire rise inside
When I feel your rain wash over me
I am baptized in your light
You make me want to fight
For a deeper meaning
You make me crave the desire to make sense
With every mistake I make
In everything and every moment spent
With every breath I take
In me you create
A strength that could
Carry the sun
You are the
One

You are my skyline
The boundary line
Between earth and sky
My apparent horizon
You are the outline
Of my life
You are the building
Of my dreams
Against the twilight
You are the opening
You are the frame
You greet me in the morning and
You tuck me in at night
My lovelight

You are my reason to go on
You are my favorite birdsong
You are my Mother and my Father Divine
You are the thunder and the hope of everyone

My templeheart
My firestone
My endless drink
My only home

Teach in me
What you would have me do
Give me direction
And I will follow through
For me, for you and the
Entire universe

You are my Skyline
You are the truth
You are the opening

I love you

Rhinoceros Spirit
The Terry Tree Oct 2014
Twenty million years you have existed
Ancient are your ways, carried out for days
Even in birth sixteen to eighteen months consisted

You stand alone in bravery of age
Predators won't cross, footing would be lost
Your power is of one to be amazed

Teaching us that solitary timing
Benefits us too, reminding how you
Spend your days so patiently on dining

The earth is your bed and has been always
Suiting you well, this your story to tell
Free from what man has made building hallways

We learn from you to push through and go on
Leading us through, what is infinite truth
Your soul abounding to bestow upon

Grunting and bellowing your presence known
Boundary protected, patrolled, directed
No one will be found threatening your home

Stand up in for what you truly believe
Too many to fight, find rest day and night
Pull those close to you who will not deceive

We are timeworn and primal like fossils
Daring to care and completely aware
Protection of our love is colossal

Be with us when we must move in a way
That makes us feel scared, feelings should be spared
No panic, no anxiety dismay

Wisdom to move past life's ever obstacles
Our size matters not, for with you we've brought
A strength that to beat is impossible

Remind us to pray to all good things endowed
Spirit gives blessing, heart is confessing
Creating what our free will has allowed

Be with us mighty one when mistaking
May we never forget, we too have yet
A legacy like yours in the making

Though we may not understand why we're here
Holy Spirit's hand, reaches and expands
Guidance walks us on the path to adhere

Brilliant light shines, helping us to get past
The hurt and the pain, learning we sustain
Achieving a great wing span long at last

MOUNTAIN
The Terry Tree Nov 2014
Every journey that I take
Every rule that I break
Every moment I create
In you with you
Reminds me of this place
That reminds me of your face

You are the light
At the end of my tunnel
The perfect mountain view
When I climb the slopes
Of our love
I can see
More than
I knew

My Kilimanjaro
My connection
To Christ
My spirit feels alive
When I look into
Your eyes

You are the mountain
My Yogananda
My tender Guru
My greatest crush
That accepts me as I am
You believe in God
You believe in Love
You believe in Friendship
You are the perfect
Mountain view

When I scale the rocks
Of our relationship
Rising with every step
My heart is left
With a feeling of
Completeness
Sweetness
Mother Divine
Has brought us
Together
To share, to ascend
To believe in God
To be my friend

You are the beginning and the end

When you are away
I climb this mountain
Everyday
Wind, snow or rain
Joy or pain
I can go to our mountain
Climbing to the top
This gorgeous point
Holding on to trees
With wings of grace and ease
And the Gods
Are pleased

Let friendship
Lead us to our
Mountain tops
Let Holy Spirit
Guide us there
Let everyone
Who reads these words
Feel the wind of love
Against his face
And in her hair
We are magic
We are flying
We are laughing
We are crying

In the end
No matter where you go
No matter how far
I will know
How to find you
Remind you of our
Friendship
Of our love

Meet me on our mountain top
Look at the stars
As they shoot across the sky
I'll be riding one
Or on a cloud
To meet you there
Waving you a smile
As I fly
You know where
Into your temple heart
On the mountain
Of our
God
Given
Love

If you know
The way I feel
If you feel my energy
You will know when I am near
Without looking you will hear
Me crash into the atmosphere
With the wings that Spirit gave us
To share

Meet me on our mountaintop
The one that reminds me of you
The place that we've found with the perfect view

Sitting on a star
On a comet
Or a gust of wind
So sharp
I will find you
I will find your temple heart
Invite the world
So that we can curl up
Into a blast of light
A spoon of love
Lighting up the heavens
Everywhere
With a love so bright
Every creature in sight
Will witness
Our forgiveness
In the air

Meet me on our mountain top
Look at the stars
As they shoot across the sky
I'll be riding one
Or on a cloud
To meet you there
Waving you a smile
As I fly
You know where
Into your temple heart
On the mountain
Of our
God
Given
Love

ECHO
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
You are the echo
On the other side
Of the room
In my heart
You are the beat
That drums within
Every brand new
Day I start

You are the rise
You are the fall
Of every sun
And every moon

Every moment
That I turn around in
If I want to give up
You tell me,
"Not yet,
It's too soon..."

You are the hope
In which I live and dream
The silver clouds and
Colored schemes

I am grateful for my arms
To embrace the love
I've found
In you

I am grateful for my words
To speak the truth
Of how you make
Me feel

I am grateful for my nerves
That send the signals
To let me know
You are here

I am healed

I am grateful for my eyes
For without them
I would have
No sight

Hold me now
In this moment I have found
I am on a journey
To your house of
Living light

I am empowering
My deepest nature
You are the word that
Enlightens my
Destiny
You are the echo
That resonates
Within me

Unearth this infinite
Measure from within
That I can sense
You are the ultimate
Eternal presence

Wake me up
No, let me sleep
You are the holy place
Inside that I never
Want to leave

There are two wolves
Deep within my heart
A wolf of love
And a wolf of hate
I feed the wolf
That resonates
With your love
For your love
Is my love
And my love
Is your
Love

Brilliant, shining
Gorgeous love
Penetrating
From above

I allow this place
To hold me at
All times
I allow your
Breath of love
To rise
Inside
Me like
A dove

My lungs are filled
With truth
My lungs are filled
With you
A breath of wings
Fly like prayers
That say thank you
To your incredible
Warmth as you
Swarm around me
You are there
With a vibration
I can't see
But I can recognize
As your fire
Melts away all pain
Before my
Eyes

You are the echo
On the other side
Of the room
In my heart
You are the beat
That drums within
Every brand new
Day I start

My echo
My sacred journey
My love-connection
The ultimate direction
My favorite footprint
Unsurpassable
Presence of
Protection

I am open to your love
And the boundaries that
Separate me from
The rest of the world
Fall away as I
Evolve

You enlighten
You revolve
You are
A bright blue
Reflection
A sun-filled
Soft Blanket
Of affection

I journey to
Your life house
You are my
Dreamcatcher
My new way of being
You are
The beautiful echo
I'm living and
Breathing

GLOWING
The Terry Tree Oct 2014
Can you feel me glowing?
Can you feel me throwing
Stars at you?
Across the sea to you
From me

Feel the pulse in the air
When the wind moves
I am there
Shooting stars across the sky
Everywhere

Place your hand upon your heart
Close your eyes
Clear your mind
Picture gold light
As it starts
Surrounding you
From behind
Hugging you

A falling star above your head
Is tumbling down
Singing brightly, lightly
Listen to its gorgeous sound
Soaring

As it falls closer, closer still
Open up your arms
So you can feel
This glow all over you
Flow all over you
A shower of light
From head to toe

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Now you can feel the glowing
Your love is slowly growing
Bigger, bigger still
Your smile is showing

Bring your arms in
You've been holding out
Feel the light now
Shake the ground
Take your arms
Wrap them around
Yourself
Feel
The
Glow

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Rain, Sun, Wind and Snow
Feel the glow
Wherever you go
I will be there
No matter how far
Sending you
This shooting star
From the sky
Out from my heart

To heal your soul
To ease the pain
To share your joy
Every night and
Every day

Feel the glow
Feel it grow
All around you
Spreading out
In a circle of light
Spreading through
The countryside
Across the earth
Now watch it blast
Into the sky
It burns and glows
Before your eyes

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Embracing you within the light
Every day and every night
We are one

Hideaway
The Terry Tree Jan 2015
The further in the reach will cry
To surface beveled wind and sky

Wade less in the pool of text
Encountering the dampest

Moments memories mind to feel
Things our tongues would test to say
To capture the appeal

Our questions answer paradox
As grapes did once conflict the fox

We hinder in the cold
As cinders dark behold
The beautiful unfolds
A hideaway foretold
Of fire and love consoled

Rescue now the winds of time
Along the waters level

Explanations taunt with the tides
Fleeting affection at shoreside

Ever push and pull we are
Fragile such as fading stars

In voice our chords have failed to brace
What lips would speak to chase and chase

New memories will we soon create
Our hideaway at sundown waits

Meet me before the dawn breaks free
Beneath sacred sycamore tree
Our great escape in midnight's cape
With Spirit resting peacefully

Spirit Zebra
The Terry Tree Oct 2014
A master magician at hiding
While running and gallantly striding
Your message is strong, you gallop along
With spirit continually guiding

Independent you move with the group
Making headway you learn to recoup
Ready to bolt, to rebel and revolt
If your light should get caught in a loop

Your harmony steadies in trouble
A clean break away from all struggle
Lessons are taught, even when you're distraught
As you truly embrace them and juggle

When problems arise in the east skies
You remember the sun also dies
And though it falls down, it comes back around
To greet us the next day with bright eyes

Spirit Zebra be with us to find
Let our strength and our courage unwind
Into all of the holes, deep in our souls
That we carry throughout our lifetime

Teach us patience to love every side
So that we may enjoy how we ride
Some days we will glow, some days will be low
Love will teach us to rise not subside

To see everything, just as it is
To live the truth of this regardless
Return stronger yet, from any upset
With a chance for new growth and progress

You teach us to seek balance and truth
Till the end of our days from our youth
Standing confidently, strong as can be
Building skills that will calm us and soothe

With every step forward we've taken
Your wisdom unfolds and awakens
All of our needs, teach us how to succeed
Good or bad, we shall not be mistaken

We are shifting between light and dark
We are always igniting the spark
A few steps gone back, will put us on track
With pure faith we will soon disembark

INVINCIBLE
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
Again and again

My eternal light
Love of my life
Under every rock
Every leaf I overturn
Every note I sing
Every tear that I cry
Every ripple
That I swim
You carry me
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

With you I am
Never alone
Never alone
Even in the darkest alley ways
We find light
A light so bright
Even in the darkest of
All nights
Midnight black
Pitch packed
The cards are stacked
Against the atmosphere
Manipulated by
The world
If but to
Curl up
And fade
Away

No
Not another day...

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
The spirit in my soul
Again and again
My invincible

Under a bridge
In a closet
Filled with broken dreams
Between the cracks
Of misery
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

I am with you Spirit
You are with me
Never alone
Never alone

You are the strings
Of my heart's
Symphony

You are the drum
That beats from
My chest

You are the chords
That echo from
My throat

You are the best

You are the tap dance
That vibrates from
My feet

Beneath me the earth quakes
Into concrete

You are my armor
You are my umbrella
You are my wings
You are my antlers
You are the star
Of every evening
That guides me and
Believes in me
Invincibly

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

You are
My Invincible

The Terry Tree Dec 2014
Please
Take my hand
I'm reaching out
For you
Don't fall into
The pain today
I'm reaching out
To save you
From the
Hate

Don't let your spirit
Get ****** into
The burdens
The sickness
Unnecessary pain
The ugly untruth's
The suffering
The Disdain
This is
A confined
Self loathing
State of mind

Look outside yourself
Push through the fog
Part the dark
Distasteful
Smog

We can rise together

There is no need
To feed your doubt
You can live without
Holding onto the grief
Hold on to me
I want to fly
I want to kiss
The sky
With
You

I will lift you up
Take you on a ride
Further from your saddest self
High above your lack of faith
Surround you with your greatest health
No hesitation, no disbelief
Hold your head up
Now just breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Can you feel me?
That's better
I can sense you
Coming through
Your natural beautiful being
Laughing, humming, singing
Bringing flowers
To yourself
See...

Hold on as we soar
I will teach you how
To love what lives inside
The gorgeous beating
Gifts you hide
Out of the quicksand
Into alive
Learning to prevail
Not just survive

There is no need
To feed your doubt
You can live without
Holding onto the grief
Hold on to me
I want to fly
I want to kiss
The sky
With
You

There was a time
When it may have seemed right
To hold onto the things
At night
That would remind you
Of how you stepped into
The place where you
Are now
The time has come
To let this go
Give it away
Bury it in the ground
Throw it into the snow
Burn it by the sea
Come with me

Place the memory
In a stone
You don't have to be alone
Now take the rock and insert
The energy of your pain and hurt
Find a field, a body of water
A stream
Say a prayer
Picture your dream
Like the feeling that makes you believe
Everything will be okay
Get ready
Say what you have to say
Take a deep breath pretty please
It's time now to release

With your stone
In your hand
Pull your arm back
Take command
And send it high
Into the sky
Out into the open
It's time to say goodbye
Hurl the past away
The bitterness
The agony
The sour distress
Make yourself free
Come with me

Please
Take my hand
I'm reaching out
For you
Don't fall into
The pain today
I'm reaching out
To save you
From the
Hate

You carry me
I carry you
When burdens pain
You walk with me
I walk with you
Along the beach
Through life's terrain
If tears should fall
Just as the rain
I'll soothe your spirit
Comfort away
All of the guilt
Is that okay?

When you want to give up
I will inspire you to try
If your spirit feels broken
I will help you make it right
You comfort my heart, my head,
My weary stride
The less I need
The more I have
With you I feel
All worry
Fall and slide
Elsewhere
It's easy to
Subside
When you
Are there

Hold on as we soar
I will teach you how
To love what lives inside
The gorgeous beating
Gifts you hide
Out of the quicksand
Into alive
Learning to prevail
Not just survive

Open your door

Knock Knock
Who's there?
Tender loving
Arms that
Care

Feel my light
Feel my love
Breathe it in
It's everywhere

Just like your
Love that lives inside
The gorgeous beating
Gifts you hide

Out of the
Quicksand
Into alive

Paddle through the mud
Sweep through the debris

Us back from
Wading with

Carefully

I will carry you
With every stroke
Plunge into our

To evoke
The innermost
Parts that we
Confide in
One another
A pond of
Affection
Silver
Reflection
A soul-mate
Connection

Watch as the bubbles
Rise before our eyes
A reservoir of
Blue skies
Fire and ice
Intertwined in
White Light

Golden blue and
Coral hues
Vaporize and
Fade
Into a 
Perfect

Mysterious child
Earth as the mother figure
Majestically robed
In the land of kindly gods
Teach me how to run wild

You call out to me
I am connected to you
We tour as heroes
Across the plains of kindness
Teaching you to ride through life

Magical talents
Seem to travel beneath you
For whenever we
Journey onward together
We gallop powerfully

Your gifts are unique
I will help you discover
Together are we
Traveling clairvoyantly
A true motion of thunder

My spirit is free
I learn to view destiny
With you I receive
More than I thought I could be
Nothing is holding me back

You were born to be
More than you know my dear child
I gift unto thee
The realization to see
Nothing is holding you back

In recognition
Of your incredible stride
I want to learn how
To move beyond and decide
How to become what I ride

You will soon conceive
As you begin to trot through
How I will guide you
As you fly further than most
Accepting all that you are

I need to hold on
My balance seems a bit off
I try to steady
This is the path I must take
Faith's asking me to trust you

Take hold of my mane
The saddle fits you just right
You will find comfort
The path you're taking is fate
You must trust me in good faith

I want to look back
But I know there is no need
I open my heart
To tell myself honestly
There is nothing left to fear

Look forward with me
As I guide you, you guide me
Our hearts beat as one
You're listening consciously
Your spirit's safe here with me

My hands need no reigns
It's like you've always been here
You never left me
My lodestar, my exemplar
We cross the range unrestrained

Steady and complete
And I will always be here
I never left you
My colt and child of the light
Our freedom is our delight

Giddyap!
Giddyap!

A heart that I could call a home
A home that I might find my heart
Walking up a hill at night
Rolling down when sun shines bright
Lift me up into your arms night sky
So that I might cry with tears of joy
To know that there could be a home
For every girl and boy of any age
As this would be my home
You may come and stay
To get away or just to play 
Beneath the stars
We'll say good night
And restful sleep
Rest our heads 
On loving sheep
Until the dawn

DRIFTING
The Terry Tree Jan 2015
In a boat
Flirting with the sea
Fancy meeting you here
My infinity

Like a prayer
The air and the view
Drifts in through my eyes and
Down to my heart

The greatest love affair
Any romance novel has written
Or that any feather has been gifted
To fly in marriage with the sky

You are my guardian
Nature you hold the key
To every door I long to open
My destiny

Free to roam
About the cabin of my thoughts
With Courage, Strength and Opulence
I row with oars of hope and light

Drifting in a boat
In the middle of the sea
Holding hands with God and Spirit
Endless unity

Summon us the rain yet
With the drums that we recall I
Am the corresponding return
Beautiful lunar and thunder to
A rhythm where all seasons of the
Different viewpoints even ugly in the winter
Are holding up the Universal land
An outer space pond having
Baptized resurrection of acceptance in a chosen
Life-cycle that changes all of the
Symbols through your travels which are heavy.
Changes also equal to soul art
Echo countless metaphors of the
Mindless croaking bond.
Teach in us the thanksgiving of
Heaven's harvest and every single thing
That brings a drunkenness and promise of
Choristers with hymns on stone
For a prolonged life is in and of
What solid reawakening has fortuned deep within upon this earth.
Renewed as well returned I
Carry lucky charms and find that I am
Known in other words bound
With the Spirit to
An ancient stand
That is encountering such places found under
Forces much much before the
Egg existed in a frozen
Past lone part of all creation much much before the thorn
Grew from the rose bush you were jumping by
Far down the brook of evolution where the
Message that you ribbit warm or cold
Is soon discovered befriending those of heart and hearth
As we all listen to your lessons and
The magic song revival that you sing
Poetic form | Golden Shovel |A golden shovel poem consists of taking a line (or lines) from a poem you admire. Using each word in the line (or lines) as an end word in your poem as you keep the end words all in order. Giving credit to the poet who originally wrote the line (or lines), the new poem does not have to be about the same subject as the poem that offers the end words. If you read the last word of every line you will read the line that I chose from Ursula K. Le Guin's 'A Lament for Rheged'.

CREATION
The Terry Tree Nov 2014
Create in me
A whole new being
With sunlight
And invisibility
Even in the things
We cannot see
All Unseen forces
In nature
Many say
Cannot
Be

Create in us
A way to view
The things we need
To see it through
The miracle
The revelation
The tenderness
Of all creation

With respect
With love
Combing the care
Brushing our fingers
Through every single hair
Of one another

Looking up with
Eyes of wonder
A childlike spirit
Of thunder
Create in us
Forgiveness
Ethereal joy
Every girl
Every boy

No matter what age
No matter what stage
In our lives may we
Strive to learn
What you teach
Feeling renewed
Everyday
Not tired
Nor afraid
Brand new
When we
Awake

With respect
And With love
Combing the care
Brushing our fingers
Through every single hair
Of one another
Soft strands
No demands
Gentle
Hands

A newness
A wholeness
A tenderness
To care for
One another
Our Grandfathers
Our Grandmothers
Our Great Great
Ancestors
A magic
Interstate
A pure love
Light show
Earthquake
Of eternal
Growth
And
Blow

Explode with
Revelation
A rapture of happiness
Rejoicing in the prize
The gift of one another
The jewel of our lives
The sweetness in
Our eyes

With respect
And With love
Combing the care
Brushing our fingers
Through every single hair
Of one another
Soft strands
No demands
Gentle
Hands

Amen

Poltergeist
The Terry Tree Oct 2014
Let me be your poltergeist
Haunt you with my love
If there is a Spirit between us
Let it be the Holy Ghost
Embracing you
Haunting you
Holding you
Above

Everything that scares you
Anything that’s hiding
Skeletons in your closet
Fear, anxiety,
The terror of life
Sometimes just
Going outside

Let me be your poltergeist
I will be here to protect you
I will shield you from the pain
I will wake up every morning
And do it all again

When nothing seems to feel secure
When the world is crashing down
When you cannot even be sure
Let me scare these things away from you
That want to hang around
Haunt your home with light
Shoot off stars at night
Blind the things you cannot face
Smudge them out
I will erase
Anything
You
Fear

Let me be your poltergeist
Haunt you with my love
If there is a Spirit between us
Let it be the Holy Ghost
Embracing you
Haunting you
Holding you
Above

As you begin to trust
As you begin to believe in us
You will know the power
Of true love
As I
Haunt away your sorrow
Scare what will depress
Chase away your panic
Frighten out the rest
Of anything that keeps you
From being the bright light
That you are
The
Beaming
Gorgeous
Burning
Beautiful
Star

Let us fly together
Spread our light
Spread our wings
Unfold our feathers
Cradle our silver linings
Soar into our sky
Together
There is no limit
To our height

Let me be your poltergeist
Haunt you with my love
If there is a Spirit between us
Let it be the Holy Ghost
Embracing you
Haunting you
Holding us
Above

Friendship Prayer
The Terry Tree Jan 2015
Glares of Moon Stars
Shine brightly overhead
As I am gazing out my window
Resting in my bed
Thinking of the ones I love
Holding them so tight
With every beat my heart conducts
I hold you in my mind

An orchestra of petals
A choir of starlight
Beckons me come morning
Bends its way through with sunlight
Through an opening I see
The day reach out its hands
Welcoming us to embrace
The gifts that we've been given
Simple blessings we receive

The gift to see each other
The gift to read our words
The gift to hold each other
The gift of hummingbirds
The gift to taste the sweetness
The gift of fruit on earth
The gift to love each other
The gift to know our worth

I pray that we are able
To see the simple gifts
The Christmas of our lives
Everyday not once a year
To be here to support and love
Each other is a gift
And I thank heaven up above
For blessing me with
Your friendship

LOVE SURPRISE
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
Every day when I awake
I think of You I call to You
My beloved, my cosmic dove
So many images in my dreams
Reaching out to You
To understand
Every morning I believe
I will receive Your
Blessings and share
Your love that You
Give to me with
Anyone who
Is willing

I follow this with
An affirmation of my love
For Thee
A dedication to the Spirit
A promise to be true
With every moment
With every breath
I breathe I say
To You
Thank You

Thank You for the things
I did not want
Thank You for the things
I could not grasp
On my own
Thank You for being patient
With my mistakes
Thank You for loving me
Regardless of my
Clumsy breaks

Life is like a rink
We travel around
And I fall down
On my roller skates
On my ice skates
This is my fate
But still You pick me up
You give me love again
You push air back into
My lungs
With the song that every
Bird has sung
Together in a choir
Of one harmony
One hymn
A madrigal to
My soul
You make
Me whole

When I share the way You make me feel
With the world so much confusion
Rises up when all I want is for us to heal
Arguments and bantering
Over Your love
Your name
And what You mean
Debates on
Who said what
This cannot be
What you
Intended

If You are compared to nature
Or a picture or a flame
It shakes up our mentality
It sends earthquakes of pain
Vocal disdain shouting
Read this scripture!
You don't know!
You should go!

What of those who are blind?
What of those who have never
Known your light?
On a starry stage
The Earth is your platform
The Ocean is your footlight
The Galaxy is your colosseum
But what if people can't read?
What if folks can't write?
I don't need to read to heed
Your love
There is no need to fight
Your power is in
Everything
The food that I eat
The bed where I sleep
I scream, I shout, I sing,
I whisper...
Believe me
Spirit is everything
God IS in everything
God is in you and
God is in me

As I lay me down
To sleep
I pray the Lord my soul
To keep
I pray that You
Will never leave
I read the words
You gave to me
Written on my holy shadow
The one that You made in me
The words You gave to us
Trumpet

-I am always with you
No matter what you do
No matter where you go
No matter how far
I am in your temple-heart
You are My shining star-

When I think of You
When I meditate
When I kneel down
Every morning and
Every night to pray
I can hear You say...

My child
My perfect creation
My sweet elation
Shhh... it will be okay
Close your eyes
Picture My glory
Listen to this
Bedtime story...

Picture an explosion
In the cosmos
The greatest fireworks
You have ever seen
Do you hear, do see
Can you feel what I mean?
You are bigger than the Big Bang
You are not a theory
You are a part of me
A blast so bright
It could light up
The universe inside My heart
The pulsating Love that
I feel for you My child
Is with Me everyday
You keep Me going
In the same way
That I lift you up
We are as One
You are My
Truth and
I fill your
Cup

When people do not understand
Your love, your words of faith for Me
Your feelings of happiness and peace
Remember I will hold your hand
Smile and don't get upset
For the journey is only beginning
We haven't even made it halfway yet

Cross the bridge of My love
Spiritual boards will lead you
Into My arms
You do not have
To prove anything
Just smile and bring
Your light
SHINE ON!
It is SO lovely...

If everyone loved
One another
The way that
You love Me
My heart
Would beat
So fast
A brilliant
Blast
Of dynamite-like
Love bombs
Would explode
And blaze

Marvel at the atmosphere
In a dazzling daze
Opening every
Eye and
Gaze

In

Amazement at the heavens
A witness to the dream
The message of all time
And space has been received
Love One Another
As I have loved you

They love each other
As I have loved them
They love each other
As they love Me!!!
A beautiful love surprise
Indeed!
This is all we
Need to be
The only truth
We want
This is all the
World needs
Humanity
Philanthropy
To Love each other
As I have loved you
And you My
Child have
Loved
Me...

Our love for God
Will ultimately be
The strongest love
We shall ever seek

If we can love
One another
As we love God
As God loves us
Even just a little bit
Could be more than enough

If we can treat each other
With gentleness and kindness
God will take care
Of the rest
I promise

Take a deep breath
Let love inside
Feel the
Rush

What a beautiful surprise

Feel like your breathing again where
No one loses and everyone wins
No pushing and shoving just
Caring and loving

On your mark
Get ready
Get set
Go!

Let your love flow...

SHINE WITH ME
The Terry Tree Oct 2014
Shine with me
Ever so brightly
Shine with me
Shine with me

From right where you're standing
From under your feet
Touch the sky with your light
With every breath that you breathe

Shine with me
Ever so brightly
I want to feel your light
From right where I'm standing
I want to feel your light landing

Stop what you're doing
Turn up the heat in your heart
Push out the light
Wind and fire will depart
From your soul into the air
To touch the ground beneath my feet
To touch the grass, the dirt,
The life beneath my seat

Shine with me
Ever so brightly
Shine with me
Shine with me

Like sunlight and moonlight
Every light no illusions
Our spirits ignite in the heavens above
In the earthquakes we make in the ground
With our love

Stop what you're doing
Listen to the beat of your heart
Like your favorite song
Now take a deep breath,
Deeper yet, deeper still,
Hold it in, now let go
Blow out flowers
Into the wind

Shine with me
Ever so brightly
Shine with me
Shine with me

Forgiveness is ours
The power of love vibrates here
Between us
Electricity
Your energy near

Oceans away
Could be next door
Space and time are figments
Of our excited imaginations

Shine with me
Ever so brightly
Shine with me
Shine with me

Where we are
In this moment
Right now
I can feel you
Every time we
SHINE
Together-
Forever-
Wherever-
You-
Are....

Stop what your doing
Listen to the beat of my heart
Like your favorite song
Now take a deep breath,
Deeper yet, deeper still,
Hold it in, now let go
Blowing out flowers
Into the wind

We are healed
In our light

FLOOD
The Terry Tree Nov 2014
Flood me with your love
Don't hold back
Don't refrain
Don't be afraid
To seal your fate
We feel the same
This is our truth
I feel the Spirit
When I'm with you
You are my light
You are the truth

Like an avalanche
Your emotions rain
Feel free to be
The way you are
When you're with me
No restrictions
Nothing's too much
No expectations
Just acceptance
And pure
Love

You've been alone
And pushed away
No one to call on
Everyday
Trapped inside
A barricade of snow
Nowhere to go
Nothing to flood
No where to flow

Calling all angels
Spread your wings
Open your arms of light
And bring us
Hope
Bring us home
A way to cope
With emptiness
Giving back to those
Who chose to love us
Just as we are
Just as the stars
We were created
To be

Send your dove
Of cosmic love
To touch us in the night
To teach us in our dreams
To hold us when we cry
To comfort out the screams

The world is in pain
But we are abundant
Ready to share
Ready to bare
Paving a way
To be eternally
Saved

Flood me with your love
Don't hold back
Don't refrain
Don't be afraid
To seal your fate
We feel the same
This is our truth
I feel the Spirit
When I'm with you
You are my light
You are the truth

Walking through the forest breeze
Hugging Mother Nature's trees
I open up my heart to please
We bow before you on our knees

Stand in the middle
Of the wildwood where
The flowers grow
I'll meet you there
To fill you with a flood
Of love
A landslide of
Fervor and light
Every day
And
Every night

Find a special place to sit
A field, a seat of grass, a place
Where we can quietly visit
Think of me
Speak with your heart
Speak with your mind
I will meet you
You will see
We are connected
Infinitely

Your soul path leads you through
What you will learn on earth
So you can grow the wings
You'll need to fly
When it is time
To say goodbye

And when you say
Godspeed know this
You actually say hello
You see
You're never truly leaving me
I am always with you
You are always with me
Just as your loved ones
Have always been
Anyone you lost
And loved
Has always
Watched you
From above
From behind
Right beside
In every tree
And every stair
You've ever climbed

I am always with you
Listen, listen, listen

Flood me with your love
Don't hold back
Don't refrain
Don't be afraid
To seal your fate
We feel the same
This is our truth
I feel the Spirit
When I'm with you
You are my light
You are the truth
I know that you
Can feel it too

I am always with you
Listen, listen, listen
Shhhhh....
I'm here with
You

Spirit Swallow
The Terry Tree Aug 2014
You stole the fire from the sun
Your winged manifest expressed
Brings purity to darkenedness

You bring with you a light loved one
To shine on earth in loveliness
You stole the fire from the sun
Your winged manifest expressed

Your feathers fork-like have become
You soar with ease and happiness
To free us from our loneliness
You stole the fire from the sun
Your winged manifest expressed
Brings purity to darkenedness

A swallow nesting on our home
Will teach us to be swiftly heard
By using wisdom with our words

In gracefulness you deeply roam
With eyes of every Angel bird
A swallow nesting on our home
Will teach us to be swiftly heard

To rise above is to be shown
That life can often be absurd
And if emotions should be stirred
A swallow nesting on our home
Will teach us to be swiftly heard
By using wisdom with our words

To be objective is the key
Perspective must not be mundane
The spirit cannot be constrained

Distance will help you see clearly
The answers that will soon explain
To be objective is the key
Perspective must not be mundane

Create a loving energy
That's easy for you to maintain
And you will reach a higher plane
To be objective is the key
Perspective must not be mundane
The spirit cannot be constrained

With knowledge of divinity
Guide us dear Swallow as we grow
Enlighten us to what we know

As days pass by forgetfully
We misplace insights we behold
With knowledge of divinity
Guide us dear Swallow as we grow

The song you sing of trinity
With holy magic you bestow
All Saints and Gurus overflow
With knowledge of divinity
Guide us dear Swallow as we grow
Enlighten us to what we know

MUSIC BOX
The Terry Tree Jan 2015
You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found

Listen, listen, listen
To your sound

O how marvelous you are
Like lightning against the sky
The music of your soul echoes
Against all of creation
Nature looks back at you
Her breeze is her hands
That comfort your anger
Her thunder is a smile
That soothes your pain
Her rain is there to
Teach you how to
Forgive yourself
Again and
Again

My sweet Music Box
You don't ever have to leave me
You will never forget how to sing
Like a bee on the seashore
Crawling towards the never ending ocean
The impossible salty sea
I will be here to guide you
Towards the light
Back to your life

Let me be your sonic boom
Let me be your favorite room
Let me wind your Music Box
So we can sing your
Favorite tune

You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found

Know this by heart and
Listen, listen, listen
To your sound

You are the Music Box that I designed
Sing along with me
Listen to our chime
Listen to our bell
Listen to the psalm
That together we unveil

We are the sheet music of ravens
Perched like notes on wires
Across the skies as the
Sunrise inspires
Our call

We run with the magic
Of a brilliant ballad
We vibrate
We shake
We earthquake
Through it all
In between rocks
We are meteors and comets
My Music Box
We rock and roll
In this canticle

We are the original
The golden oldie
Of the galaxy

Be my anthem
I'll be your hymn

Listen, listen, listen
To your sound again

You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found
You are the fire of a thousand choirs

You are the ecstasy
The Universe
Desires

WORRY NOT ME
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
From the moment we leave the earth
As we left heaven on our birth
All the stars still carried on
Swallow sang her merry song
The planets orbits did not stop
Snow still covered mountain top
Why then worry if all things
Bright and beautiful still sing?

Everyone needs to let go
Of worries clouding inner hope
Silence of mind can be attained
When concentration is sustained
Maintaining thoughts of joy and bliss
Self-imposed doubt is now dismissed
Positive thoughts morning and night
Negative thoughts pushed out of sight
At least one minute at at time
Instill pure peace within your mind

If you are worried mentally
Relax your brain entirely
Picture a happy place to be
Visualize it pleasantly
Watching the movie screen inside
A cinema of joyous life
As you are taken far away
From this unnecessary pain
Forget your woes entirely
Allow your consciousness to breathe

Become a cosmic super wave
Free from all habits that will drain
Discourage thoughts of money, fame
Disengage as a human frame
Step by step identify
Union with Spirit as you rise
Do not become so hypnotized
Limited by human distraught
For we are truly one with God
Energy flows in every part
From head to toe, veins, flesh and heart

Cast away all restlessness
Concentrate and throw your breath
Calm the weariness that chokes
Invite the light that love evokes
A flash-lit path to health and peace
Is overflowing with release
Illuminated happiness
A powerful lighthouse success
Now guided by Divine spotlights
Behold this magnificent sight
You are a conduit unto
That which Divine flood passes through

An Affirmation to repeat:

I am so quietly awake
I am awake so quietly
I am the King of all perspectives
I am the Queen of inner peace
I sit upon a throne of patience
I can direct my thoughts with ease
I am more than this human body
I am with God eternally

LOVE PAINTED MADNESS
The Terry Tree May 2015
Paint the madness of your life
Wild colors like the sky
Just before the sun sets
To say goodbye

Begin again

What's stopping you? Are you crazy?
Show me how crazy you can be
Paint the world with your crazy love
Every part of your human being
This is you

Embrace yourself with the brush of life
Colors fly from finger tips
Music notes waltz and sway
Through your teeth and out your lips
When you're awake
When you're asleep

Scream it out if you have to
Shout to the world with your
Greatest madness
I love you!

Inner demons creating miracles
Of unspeakable beauty
Forcing you to love even the darkest
Parts of yourself that you fear
Tame the beast
Ride the wolf inside of you
Paw prints of beauty and life
Leaving your tracks of love and light
Behind you

Glow with the power of a thousand sandstorms
Of crazy affection rising all around you

Turn the madness into the most beautiful portrait you know
The painted masterpiece of your soul

Spread your wings, let the Phoenix in you ascend
Feathers out arms wide spread ready set go!
What are you waiting for?

Paint the madness of your soul
You are a masterpiece to behold
Ride the wolf
Feel your heartbeat thunder
Like an earthquake through the floor
Penetrating love across the globe
Do not underestimate your power anymore

You are an eagle so let your voice soar
You are a dragon so let your fire burn forever more
You are a lion, you are
Any beast or creature you desire
Paint your madness like wild fire
Reach down into your core
And let your madness roar!

ROSE
The Terry Tree Dec 2014
(A dedication In fond memory of my grandmother Rosemma
and all grandmothers that have inspired us to be...)

ROSE

Pink and gold-like dust
Falls and glitters
Swirls and drifts behind
My eyes
I can still hear the
Soft sounds of your
Lullabies caressing
My ears
I can feel your
Hands wiping away
My tears

Your laughter echoes in
My mind and I can
Feel your love
Waft over me
A draft of
Tenderness
In waves of
Spiritual
Light

Like a ballad
You are the hymn
That always hums
In my heart

There is a truth that I
Can believe in for
All time because of you
Now I know that Angels
Actually do exist
There is no question
In my mind
Your touch
Upon my
Forehead

Above and beyond
You are
So Divine

Grandma

You are the original
Lightworker of my life
You taught me how to
Stand up for my rights
You taught me how to sing
And what the joy of
Love can bring
You taught me not to judge
And how much that it can
Hurt to hold a grudge
You taught me
How to be the
Child of God
I am today

God enveloped you in ways
That poured out of you
Like rays of sunlight
Your giving spirit
Could reach
Into even
The darkest
Of dark
Caves

You will be remembered
For your ability to
Surrender to the
Holy Spirit

It will be recalled that you
Did not compromise your beliefs
Your faith could not be twisted
Your energy always uplifted
And you are with us
Every day

Showing us the way

As we are walking on the petals of
Your guidance we are
Listening to your message
You have given us a blessing
Your heart of gold
The story that you told
Unlike any other
You are the original
Blueprint of what one soul
Can do... Yes...

You

You are in me forever
To have and to hold
I will never know any other
Like you

I wish to be as brave as you
To fight for what I believe in too
We may not always get it
Exactly right but we will
Always be willing to try
Because of your light
We will fight to
Make it right

Did you know you were the love of my life?
When I look into the sky I can see your smile
Burning bright for the world to see
You are still with me
You are still in me
With every breath
I take
With every move
I make

I placed a single feather
In your hands pure white
To carry with you on your flight
When crossing over
As I kiss you on
Your forehead
This is not goodbye
For every end is just
The beginning
With you

May your journey
Bring you the peace
That your heart and soul
Deserve to receive
May you find your way back home
Safely into the arms of
Our creator
And when you meet with Spirit
Would you say one thing for me?
Would you thank God
For sending you
To me
Would you thank God
For creating such
Magnificent
Beauty...

Our Angel of all time
You loved me as I am
I can only hope to be
A small portion
Of how amazing
You have proven
We can be
And with
Your help
With your
Guidance
I believe
I too
Can
Be

A messenger of love and light where
God can envelope me in ways that
Pour out as they did with you
Like rays of sunlight
A giving spirit that
Will outreach
Into even
The darkest
Of dark
Caves

May I be the gift that you were
Given to us to be
Gifted from God
Through you
To show others
Here on earth
How to see

To show those who need to feel
Accepted and
Loved as God
Taught you and
You taught
Me

Spirit Butterfly
The Terry Tree Aug 2014
In the dance of joy
Shape shifting transformation
Symbol of the soul
Your wings shape our tradition
Tasting of flowers as you walk on them
We too can taste the flower of our consciousness

Your rhythm is like a hymn
Upon our hearts you land within
Color and joy vibrating through
Lightening up our spirit bright
Smoothing and soothing us to shine
Splendidly

Your grace and airy being
An emblem of pure beauty
Two butterflies a mirror
To twin spirit fires
Wandering essences of life
Potentiality of breathing as seeing is unto believing

Rising from the grave of our disappointment
Learning how to coexist with ourselves
To become the immortal gardeners
Of the raised boxes we have built
Inside our curious self contained
Wishes for longer, better breaths to understand

Metamorphism is logical
Favorable waters can both bring
The birth of new beginnings
And a dampness to our wings
Dewdrops drip down eminently
With knowledge capable to wet our minds chrysalis

To become blessed and also blessing
Our last breath here is your ascension
To become the valor of life that we most strive
Before our last exhale in dying
Flickering illumination flame
Oscillating omnipresent wings colored just the same

The sun has seen your face
In the mirror of the ocean
Looking back it smiles with grace
To know to look like you fulfills
A solar fire and daily light
In every morning's resurrection

Replacement to our hand
Emblem to human life by five fingers
Center and core to Mother Earth
You demonstrate our dream rebirth
The compass to a land from childhood
Traveled to grown woman and to grown man

Our cycle of life displayed
Between the two of us heart shaped
Not to confine or to be caged
We slip through cracks and bars and blades
Reincarnation glowing surpassed
Living as now would have us stand

Though moments carry out as wrong
Your transformation is a song
Picking ourselves back up again
As life conspires to the end
Our inclination to defend
We learn to access skills of intuition

No sugar coated affirmations
Just the beautiful truth as it is
When we can barely rise for air
Remembering our Universe is abundant and aware
Recalling everything we love with openness
Fluttering above what overwhelms a mess in us

Spirit Butterfly beside you ride
Fly with us, love us, teach us with guidance
Peaceful resolution as we transmigrate
Healing takes place here with me
Your loving wisdom always reminding
The choices that we make can be creating loving space

Unfolding in new ways
Willing to let go of situations that will drain
To flourish and to grow we cannot waste or simply remain
Kindness in life will help sustain
Divine connection is always on
Opening new doors with which limitlessly we
Belong

Throne of Love
The Terry Tree Jan 2015
Glistening in the darkness
Beating with the stones
Beneath the brightest skies
You are the altar of
My ancient heart
The only cage
That can hold
My wings

There is no illusion
In the arms of Your spiritual crown
What is this luminous
Sound that shakes the ground?

Dreams are crashing like
Waves of sacred concentration
When I bow down to the art
You have created me to be
Of what I have become
Your breath You are
The drumming in
My heart

Without You I am not the
Life force breathing and swimming
That You created to dance and swing
In the pools of Your beloved eyesight
Your star streaming mindfulness
Is a cosmic vital essence
I am awakened to in the
Ultimate blessing of
Your bliss

Possession of every needlessness
Begins in believing that everything
I thirst for is quenched in the
Uninterrupted space of
Your immortal
Embrace

Perched eternally in the purple tree
Of Your heart

May I remain with Thee
On the Divine lap of Thine
Breathtaking cosmic wilderness
Resting in Your deathless
Throne of Love

Here on earth or in heaven above
I can feel your heartbeat for
It is the same pulse
That is within me
Glistening in the darkness
Beating with the stones
Beneath the brightest skies
You are the altar of
My ancient heart
The only cage
That can hold
My wings

Spirit Praying Mantis
The Terry Tree Aug 2014
Invisible leaf that resides among one billion
Reminding us at will to stand still
The constant battle that our lifetimes can create
Aren't always open to agree or negotiate
Much like your nymphs we are like children
Crying in obstinance "Deliver us from evil!" with your grace

Teach us to draw upon our powers
Guide us to step down from our towers
Open up our ignorance to unlimited dimensions
Of consciousness and gentle contemplation
As we align our will with God
Spirit Mantis instruct our inner faith

Enabling our prophecy of strength and ancient peace
Bringing forth the song that sings and dreams
Of loving life force in between us, every soul
Survival's toll is not just individual
Calm as can be to walk on water and to believe
That every son and every daughter has a place

Look into the eyes of praying mantis
Observe the way her clever stance is
Like a meditation pose and prayer-like dance
He is our guide to quietly reside inside
The home our heart protectively shares and confides
A safety zone, a loving tone, and glowing space

As I kneel, as we pose, as we pray for all of those
Who cannot hear or see the beauty you bestow
Spirit guide us, please un-divide us
Show us your tranquil meditative flow
And in this may we hear what we behold
Will allow comfort to become the world we know

Seal Spirit
The Terry Tree Nov 2014
Gorgeously in the sea
You swim and glide and breathe sweet love
Your smile from above
The ocean floor glows of a gift
We listen to it sift
You help us move through bliss leading
Eternally dreaming awake
Teach us how we can shake our fears

Our hurt learns how to rise
To slide with joy and glide away
It never wants to stay
At home more than a day, we find
A colorful dreamtime
Surfing we are aligned and sleek
We can finally speak
And everything we seek we have

Our inner voice will call
You help us through it all as we
Listen in carefully outside
All around us the tide is loud
A lion roaring crowd
We are seeking the sound that sings
Balance and harmonies
This comfort in us brings great peace

Reveal to us ourselves
Spirit Seal tell us what else we need
To comfort and to feed
Our spirits if indeed we live
Another day to give our prayers
Ask God to meet us where our deep
Wisdom and souls will keep
Us safe when we're asleep Amen

ANYTIME
The Terry Tree May 2015
The stars surround the pools of lightening in your eyes
Like the willow hangs its leaves in quiet wise disguise
The moment that we met my heart soon realized
That you were something more than ever to behold
Something reminiscent of a blanket in the cold
A beautiful illusion to unfold
Like the greatest bedtime
Story ever told

We walked onto the water with such grace
The sun was shining down so brightly on your face
The memories of everything I love began to race
And the beating in my heart became replaced
By the the rhythm of your pulse upon my chest
Your warm arms melted all around me
And every care had found a place
To be remembered in
The space that we
Embraced

We stood for hours holding hands beneath the showers
Of mirror blue dreams that all became the both of ours
We were relentlessly engaged in one another
Appreciating every blessing of such power
Given by our Mother's Nature
Spirit found us to be grateful
There was no stopping
What imagination blazed
Out of this beautiful
Umbrella of
Light rays

I'll sing to you the songs of water lullabies
Effortlessly I'll carry you sweet love of mine
Each step we take we'll leave behind
Another tear, you are divine

Please rest your head
Upon my shoulder
Anytime

Memoirs
The Terry Tree Jan 2015
Your life story is your own
Different from mine, different from his, different from hers

Though our stories aren't the same
As our life journals that we write take different turns

Autobiographical
Individual experienced tales to tell

Your life notebook is special
Just as my life script is special, we are walking

Our footsteps both important
Together what we ink and what we print will shine

Your stories filled with moments
All their own and so are mine, not less important

Share with me your legends of
Your life, I will share with you the legends of mine
