Whirl and swirl
Down deep within
This heart-heat 
Spin

Nosedive into
Outer limits through
Our imagination
With water and fire
Renewed
As we descend
Pulsating beats
Pursue
Ablaze
Beneath
Our
Skin

Evaporate with me
Moving away from
Swamps of...
Misunderstanding
Evaporate with me
Into a basin of
Outstanding
Rapture let 
Me capture
You my
Sweet

Tears fall into pools
Rejuvenated
As we dive into
A puddle of mirrors
Can you
See yourself 
Through the eyes
Of someone else
That you've
Become
In me?

Floating above
High springs that
Swell and breathe
You are the fire 
That burns 
Inside of me
You are the river
That flows 
Indefinitely

An infinite well 
Of flowing creeks
Buckets of
Flames and 
Vibrant streams
Channeled into 
Estuary dreams
Behold our
Atlantic destiny
Our Indian
Ocean of
Open arms
And misty
Colored
Schemes

Rivers and
Lakes 
Harbor 
Us Safely
A love-filled
Gulf retreat
Fists full
Of fire and
Adriatic
Seas

Evaporate with me
Moving away from
Swamps of... 
Misunderstanding
Swimming in an
Abyss of believing
In our mystery

Paddle through the mud
Sweep through the debris
That would hold
Us back from
Wading with
Wonder
Carefully

I will carry you
With every stroke
Plunge into our
Outer limits
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
Sound
Surrounding
View

Evaporate with me
Moving away from
Swamps of...
Misunderstanding
Evaporate with me
Into a basin of
Outstanding
Rapture let 
Me capture
You my
Sweet

My altogether vestibule
My love-lamp fuel
My golden rule
You are free to
Float here
In our
Pool

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

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

(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

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

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

Shine with me
Ever so brightly
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

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

You are the fabric
Embracing the outside of my heart
You resonate Your drumbeat
Wrapping Your pulsating streams
Throughout my spirit's cage
Around my holy gate
You are the light in my veins when
My mind wants to shine darker
You will always be
The first melody I can remember
My hands were empty
Until I knew that I could touch You again
I send a message to the celestial heavens
Swimming through angelstars
Dear God, with You I am soaring in
A never ending roaring echo of love
Both awake and asleep in Your
Infinite dream lovequake
Forever burning in this lustrous tree
Of Your eternal life
Esprit, You set me free
Espíritu, You carry me

I am Your wings
Take my love
Show me how to breathe
A gift to Thee
Everything that I am
Is Yours to mold into
The formless spirit
You would have me be

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

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

So many times I doubt myself
I ask myself what life's about
I feel something bigger
Than I could ever be
Something watching
Over me
Is it
You?

Are you my Spirit Guide?
The air that comforts me at night?
Down dark alley ways?
In hallways without light?
Are you my Spirit Guide?
The fire in my soul
Cannot deny
The way
You make
Me feel

Whenever I'm alone
I know that I can turn around
And you will be there
You never make a sound
But you are with me
I have found
Peace
A piece of me
Is peace with you

Are you my wings?
The hope that brings
Me life when everything
Is dying all around me
Is it you?

I know I could not
Take another step
Without you there
I feel you everywhere
I turn my head, I lift my hands
I touch the sky
I am yours
And you are mine
My Spirit Guide
I Love You
With you
I am
Alive

Thank you for holding my hand
Helping me to the door
Of my heart
Understanding the pain
Breaking it apart
Molding it back again
Into
Something
More beautiful
Than it intended to
Be

The wind on my neck
The hairs that rise
Just like the sun
Are you the one?
Sent here to comfort me?
How could I be so lucky?
I have you
And you have me...

Does everyone else feel this way?
I want to tell the world
I want to shout it out,
I want to say
LISTEN! Someone's watching
Over you
I know it's true
I'm just not sure
What I should call you...

The bus that should have hit me
The step that would have killed me
The thing that keeps me here
When all I want to do is disappear

I know I could not
Take another step
Without you there
I feel you everywhere
I turn my head, I lift my hands
I touch the sky
I am yours
And you are mine
My Spirit Guide
I Love You
With you
I am
Alive

I pray Heavenly Father
Divine Mother
Holy Spirit
Saints
And
Sages
Of ALL religions
Bless us, help us understand
What it means to be on this land
This earth that we call home
This place where we all roam
I want us all to make it
To heavens gate
I pray for love
I pray for light
I pray for
Spirit Guides
To come to everyone
To be awake
To lead us to do the work
That will become
The legacy of your love
Dear God above

Send us your Spirit Guides
Let our arms be open wide
Let our hearts no longer hide
Give those the strength
That want to die the lightwork
Patience, unconditional love
And the courage to rise above
The darkness that wants to ****
The life out of us every day
Dear God I pray
Show us the way
In you we are humbled
Everyday

My will is yours
Your will is mine
Our love Divine
Send to us your Spirit Guides
Make it known
The power of
Your flame
Is shown

All positive energy
Is welcome to stay
All negative energy
Is commanded to leave
It is not the people
It is the disease
And we are your warriors
Of light
Ready to take flight
Hear my battle cry
Projecting LOVE
Call my name
I will be here
Just as you
Protect us
Dear One
Above

I know I could not
Take another step
Without you there
I feel you everywhere
I turn my head, I lift my hands
I touch the sky
I am yours
And you are mine
I Love You
And
With you
I am

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!

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

Spirit Rabbit

Untold and infinite stories of love
Brief moments will arise for us to grasp
Rays of moon and sun light gleam down above

We are humbled by our need to unclasp
Unpredictable life heeds no warning
Often we are left all alone to gasp

Day and night, evening and in the morning
We purr forward persistently beyond
While painting life a picture that's adorning

Still understanding sadness will be dawned
Gravitating up and down we manage
Cultivating the pool of heavens pond

Healing bits within that have been damaged
Carried deeply within for far too long
Awakened to this powerful advantage

We hop, we bounce into what we belong
Untold and infinite stories of love
Written in the stars our journey's song
Rays of moon and sun light gleam down above

The power to face our fears lies within us
We greet ourselves by accepting new ground
There is no limit, new growth is endless

Moving through life with stillness in our sound
Balance becomes an act that we perfect
In every moment courage will be found

There is no rhyme or reason to direct
Life plans now lay before our destiny
As we open up our hearts to connect

Spirit receives us with faith willingly
Every aspect of the universe lives
Awoken to our nature instantly

No longer terrified protection gives
An inner light to walk the path with springs
Now we are free from being held captive

Our souls uncaged can feel our bodies sing
The power to face our fears lies within us
Our arms open to receive what God brings
There is no limit, new growth is endless

Fragility
Frailest of all houses
Illusory and deceptive
Reality

You spin a miracle
A glowing spherical
Concealing the great plan of
Manifestation
Reminding us of God
Composing fabrics of the world
As creation

A cosmic inventor
Sun, Moon, Stars, Equator
Dancing in the maze you loom
Spiritual leader

You can hear all nature playing
Light pulsating

Stargazing foreteller
Fate of future dweller
Divination is your key
Soul light conductor
Between two worlds of Human life
And Divine life

Your thread is like a chain
Umbilical cord train
Golden ladder to climb high
Brilliant footsteps slide
Joining Heaven and Earth
Reminding us of Cosmic Birth
We are all one

Deliverance and change
Prepare us to arrange
As our authenticity
In gift of power
We must learn how to use
Infinite possibilities
Engaging us

Mesmerizing magic
Bridges become tragic
If the earthquakes of our lives
Lose all respect for
The lessons of learning
Kismet is the fire burning
We must beware

Our fragile human state
May not find time to wait
As you dangle from your thread
Consideration
For the gifts that we have
Keep us from mirroring your swing
God bless our lives

The infinite is now
Your presence showing how
To be aware that each step
May be occurring
In a dangerous way
Looking into your net I see

Embrace the Universe
Know life is not a curse
Weaving the version of myself
At best will be

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

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

In this
Trapeze of love
As the absence of light
Streams off
Into the x-ray
Of this smiling canyon
The empty chasm
Of my soul
Is fulfilled in the gut
Of a spiral galaxy
That you enlighten

My precious
Star cluster
My eternal light
I am forever
Shadow dancing
In the lucent glows
That seep through
The cracks of your
Kerosene lamp
Into the outer space
Cabin of my heart

Human problems
Sway on the
Edge of light because
The island universe
Speaks of an
Ancient text
Which is only
Fossil philosophy
Here on earth

Shapeshifting
Through the night
Coexistence with
My dreams
Out of body
Spiritual transcendence
An inner lighthouse
Only means that
I am awake and
I am free

O how I love thee

You fill my super nova
You complete my emptiness
My highest consciousness
Sweet splendor
Your Infinite Presence
Winds up
My unfastened ends
Painting this still-life portrait
Into kaleidoscopes
Of endless cave-like
Love abyss

Thank you dear Spirit
For cosmic breath
Thank you for life
Thank you for death
Thank you for blessing us
With every day we live
Thank you for nature
And all the beauty
Mother Divine
Has yet to
Give

When you don't feel like you
Have it all together
A little bit of a lot is enough
You don't have to be tough
You just have to get up

Find the strength
Within yourself
Through prayer
Through nature
And whatever else
It takes to get you there
Your beautiful, radiant
Temple-heart wealth
Your priceless worth
Your favorite Self

Since childbirth
You have been meaning to go
Places far and wide
With your feet and
With your mind
In your dreams
You are meant to find
The answers that you seek
Take a peek...

Glimpse at what
You have
With certainty
The good stuff

Don't give up!
It's not the end
Until the end
My friend
So in the interim
Let us make the
Best use of our
Time

We have so much to
Look forward to
In the afterlife
There is no
Rush

The longer you hold on
The more that you can do
When you cross over
With light into
The chasm of
God's love
And Spirit's
Truth

Heaven isn't going anywhere
Spirit is with you now
Love and Light will
Always be waiting
For you
There...

Somehow

Every day is a new beginning
Let go of yesterday
With all of your strength
Embrace today with
All of your heart
The lessons learned
Will never part
They will never
Be forgotten for
These are
Written
On your
Soul

On your heart's door

They are always with you
These experiences
Complete the whole
You will see
Come with
Me

Let's fulfill our destiny
One step at a time

Hold your head up high
We can touch the sky
Swinging from the clouds
You and I
We can fly!

When you don't feel like you
Have it all together
A little bit of a lot is enough
You don't have to be tough
You just have to get up

Show up

No expectations
No judgements
Just pure acceptance
And unconditional
Love

Amidst these
Dancing sparks
Sent out into
The canyon of the soul
There is a
Galaxy of Bright Waves
Deep within
That makes us whole
A beautiful
Bloodstream
Flows like a
Whisper of
Burning Light
Oh so brilliant
With a
Heart of
Gold

The
Patchwork
You have made
From all the pieces of
Our pain is an
Incredible
Masterpiece
I am in awe
Of how you
Gleam

Your aroma
Is an
Echo of
Unspoken shadows
When I breathe you in
I can see an
Ocean of stars
Behind my eyes
Shooting
Plumes of light
Blossoms
Feather out into
The realm of our
Horizon where
Every Day meets
Every Night

My Temple-heart
My Beloved
Dwell within me
Forevermore
Activate the power
Of our
Cosmic friendship

You are
The greatest
Spectator
You are
The ultimate peace
Initiator
I am drunk with your
Aurora
Your natural
Deathlessness

You are the
Immortal blaze
That my spirit craves

There is no drug in the universe
That can satisfy my cup
In the way that
You do

You are the truth
You are the light
You are the stars
You are my
Hold on tight

You are ever loving
Always receiving

May I be with you
As you are with me
May we be as one
Eternally

I see your never ending
Story of love in everything
You bring me to a place
That only you can bring
Even things I fear
I cannot face
And I sing to all of those
In colored sunlit dreams
Who would listen
It's my heart's mission
To share your love
As above
So below

May every heart and every soul
That I am ever privileged to touch
Feel the warmth and joy you bring
Teaching we're not here to judge

My Temple-heart
My Beloved
Dwell within me
Forevermore
Activate the power
Of our
Cosmic friendship

And like the dove
The eagle, the wings of love
May we soar

My arms are open
You are the center
Of attraction
The bottom line
Our glorious
Satisfaction
The roots and
The foundation
Of our planet's
Nation

You are the nucleus
The origin of all being
In everything that I
Am breathing
In everything that I
Am seeing

You are the beauty
That awaits at heaven's door
You are the heartbeat
You are the Core

This is a gift
that cannot be wasted
our breath to it pass
through our lung
it is tasted
and in matters so scantly
do our questions unanswered
sleep quietly at the footrest
of paradise

We are moments awaiting to happen
a gift that can hardly be wasted

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

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

It happened six seconds from now
When you found it, a note
With your name on it
Floating about
Cross the parkway it sang
Towards the bridge
in intervals
As a musical undersong
in lucid refrain
As birds might take flight
Upscaled whistling wings
Toured and glided
Generous words filled the sky…

“You are a magnificent spark,
glowing deep in the belly
of your disfigured heart.”

You began to
Unshell yourself
Of the places that drowned
Your pitch
Places that resemble the traces
That linger around
In a ditch
To destroy you
Just to surround you
Just to employ you
with empty
infertile dreams
“I love me not” sounds
In a chorus of
Breath crushing screams

Now teeming with light
Everything you lost in the river
Replaced to quench your thirst
Now beaming you fight
To feel yourself again as blood bursts
Through everything that you hate yourself for
Every morning and night
Erased, no longer abandoned
By the ones you thought
Would be there the most

This is a toast
Of water
Of love
Of strength
From above
From below
Incoming between

Entering
Arriving
Approaching
And diving
Into your soul

An explosion
Of forgiveness
In the form of an ocean
Released
No longer tied to defeat
Swallows of love
Sweetly teach
You to sing
With soft bellows
You wear the song
Like a ring
Wedlock of water
You walk into the fire of life

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

Jump into the saddle

Empowered by faith
Our weapon is love
****** forward with grace
As we kneel down to pray

Push light in the earth
Watch it roll through the cracks
Crawl up every fountain
Follow the tracks and
Inhabit the mountains
Spread out in the grass and
Reach up to the sun
Reflecting it back
With love
Only love

Fight for the light
A soldier for creation
With all of your might
Projecting the love

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
