Opening presents
Paper everywhere
Santa’s come and gone
And left chaos and despair

Did you get what you asked for
Or did Santa miss the chance
He keeps track of  who’s good and bad
And they say he takes a stance

On gifting presents to the ones
Who help their fathers and mothers
Giving coal to those who aren’t kind
To their sisters and their brothers

Perhaps it’s time we reorganized
And learnt to help ourselves
Not depending on an old fat man
And his many helpful elves

To be good means that we must look
At all our inner thoughts
Our actions and our many deeds
And  many kinds of oughts

For when we learn to be so kind
In helping others out
Then we don’t need a red suited man
To help us be devout

Time
Away
Wheedling out of us
The last remnants
Of our lives
Time

I’m feeling lost
Like my life just took
A quick 90 degree turn
And I almost fell off
And now
I don’t know where I am
Or where I’m supposed to be
So
I’m charting a new road
Maybe one I haven’t travelled on before
And I’m eager
To find my way

Pain brings me sorrow
And I so want to find peace
May this be the year

Santa, Oh Santa
Where do you come from
Is the North Pole too cold
Do the elves like to hum

Are the toys almost ready
Is your sleigh shiny bright
Have you  put on more weight
Will the seat be too tight

Santa, Oh Santa
Will you be able to steer
A sled filled with toys
And your eight tiny reindeer

Please take some time to ponder
And do take some rest
For Xmas is coming
You’ll be put to the test

I don’t know how it happened
That I suddenly felt
As old as God
And I had
The aches and pains to prove it
Life seems to have sped up
Yesterday I was young, and vibrant, and healthy
And today
I look and feel like
My Grandmother
When did it happen
And why

Do you ever feel
Like you have no one to talk to
Like no one  understands
The depth of your be ing
Do you hold your thoughts in check
Not wanting to overwhelm
Those who are friendly
And live mundanely
I wish I could find
Someone to share my thoughts
My dreams with
Someone who understands
And doesn’t have a need
To fix me
Or mother me
Or dismiss me
I look for companionship
At the level
Of heart, mind, and soul
And seek, in that person
A friend

Have you ever
Felt so tired
That all you want to do
Is cuddle up
Under the blankets
To sleep

Have you ever felt
Like the winter weather
Is wanting you
To slow down
And rest

Have you ever felt
Like time has sped up
And your body is slowing down

Have you ever

To dream is to reach into the deepest part of the self
To seek out and find that which has traversed the Universe
And come in the form of what is to be
I walk along a path that is my destiny
Always wondering what is ahead
That which I have already planned and placed into order
The dream comes before the self, before the birth
Before the One which is to come
And I step into the dream with each breath that I take
And I wonder at the illusion of what I thought
I had to do
Just ‘be’ I am told, and that truly is the way, the dream, the illusion into truth
Just be in the flow of the life that was recorded and planned
To live out all that is meant to be lived
To honour that which was walked before and to live that which comes in front of us
To dream is to become
To dream is to love that which is to come
To dream is to be
And nothing more

To dream is not to create
But to live that which was already created
To know, with certainty, that all is
As it is meant to be
To dream is to take into oneself
The wholeness of the Universe
And the allowance of the energy
That flows through the matrix of the all
To dream is to live the truth
That we have come here to live
To dream is to know
That we are perfection
And always have been
Perfect
To dream is to live the dream
The creation of life
And all it is
As it is

I tend to be
So ******* myself
Expecting so much more
Than any one person
Can achieve
I push myself
And Will myself
To do more
And be more
And accomplish more
So, when will perfect
Be enough

I prefer
To live in my dream world
Where I am in charge
And can do whatever
I want to
I prefer to stay in my dream world
Where no one judges me
And colour and beauty is everywhere
And I can be the only being
In my world
I prefer to live in my dream world
Where I can see and do and be
All I want to be
I prefer to live
In my Dream World
And Be
Just Be
