Brings sunshine and fluffy clouds
Warmth, relaxation at cottages
Fresh berries, blue, black and red.
Taste buds smiling as we swallow.

Evenings bring cool breezes
Starry bright, sparkling sky nights
Crickets chirping, flirting noisily
Yodelling loons, diving for fish.

Paddling, rowing on blue lakes
Dogs, children joyfully skipping, swimming
Barbecue smells, roasted marshmallows
Families & neighbours loving reunions.

Summer lightens our hearts
Bringing out the best in us
As we shed our winter, rain clothes
Freedom, happiness all for the making.

EBBS AND FLOWS


We are the cup holder
Not its contents
Drink it's wisdom and clarity
Greater gifts to uncover.

Search within for insights
Release pain and hurts
Find their vibrational resonance
Supported by self love.

Remove what was never you
Clear, cleanse and purify
Your true essence lies within
Discover the eternal you and gifts.

Forsake the interruptions
Permit Nature to nourish all
Accept her ebbs and flows
Swim in clear pure waters of life.

Wind has a voice
Has a force
Reaches everywhere
High and low and all around.

Sometimes it roars in long sentences
Paragraphs and stories
Nothing is untouched by its presence
Its voice rises to high pitches and short notes
Like small white caps.

Dancing branches, fronds swaying
Feeling cozy, safe behind glass doors
Mother Nature's symphony of dance and music
No escaping its presence
It cleans up all loose ends.

It tests trees, plants and grasses
Akin to human challenges
Wave upon wave travelling to shore
Grey clouds above, forewarning impending storms.

A child's innocence exists
Not fearing the winds greatness
As one listens to her roar, roar and roar.
I am nature's cleaner
Lots to say, I come after the calm
Before the storm and sometimes during.

My power demands respect
Not as powerful as fire
Thou humbles Man
Creating decay upon the ground.
Recycled for soil and new growth.

WIND THE  ENHANCER  OF LIFE.

A place of nurture
A home for living
Millions of colures, textures & shapes
Sparkling fireflies, crystal snow flakes.

Mother, accepts all
Constantly reseeds and fertilizes
Sends sun showers, winds and rain drops
Responds, tempers her wildly children.

Storms, blizzards, heat waves
Clear waters, unique rolling waves
Oceans of history
Yet to be unravelled.

Man often slow to learn
Change is inevitable
Choices mandatory
Often abdicating his glory.

Patience is a well worn path
Where struggles stretch to inner strength
Safety born from fear
Our own worst enemy.

Beauty is our true Nature
Trees, vegetation, flowers
Mountains, lakes, rivers
Our reminders

Laugh, sing, dance
Laugh, sing, dance.

WHOLENESS

Gathering all scattered pieces
Sitting in a pile
Disassembled, disarrayed and disjointed
Wanting home, wanting home.

Is remembering, the answer?
Searching for the glue, the clue!
Peeling back, layers upon layers
Cleaning, clearing sharp edges.

Relating piece by piece
One's life's puzzle
Essential to find smooth edges
Connecting, one by one.

Attending to all loose ends
No thing or person to be ignored
Every moment, person is vital
Gathering all items, nothing is separate.

Connecting: how do it?
Appreciating part's uniqueness
Connecting: why do it?
For belonging, closeness, truth.

Warmth, intimacy, harmony
Climbing the mountain
Risking the challenge
Linking, togetherness, bonding.

Joining, belonging, finding
Lost intimacy's way home
No longer isolated, unreachable
Amalgamated within the greater

      WHOLE

I stood on the rocky edge of the lake
My eyes flew wide open
Transfixed by arrow like ripples spearheading
Underneath the water’s surface
Perfect ripples followed from the snake’s wake
A beautiful picture in slow motion.

Instantly fascinated I inched closer
Never before had I seen a water snake
It’s thick, long, slender, sleek body gliding
Effortlessly, just below the water’s surface
I knew the rest of the world stood still
While I entered the water snake’s world
A moment of movement, filled with pure joy.

Life became so clear to me
It is not the beginning or the end that matters
It is how we travel while finding our way
It’s what we leave behind in our wake
Can we create effortlessly?
Can we glide with grace and spirit?
Can we release life’s pure magic?

The universe’s wisdom is for all to see
Thank you water snake,
Your presence exploded my heart wide open.

Inner world
Towards IT
Living there
Inner knowing.

Abandoning outer
Trusting within
Wiser being
Forever more

Creation's starting place
Inner organs smiling  
Loveless or Loved
Mobility or restriction.

Reflections, resolutions
All within
When no where else to go
Finally peace and stillness

The domain of Gods
Expansive as the Galaxy
Questions all answered
Wisdom's home.

Desperation, despair and despondent
Navigation's sign posts
All is potential, all is possible
In this inner world of wonder.
