Dearest Storm

Dearest storm

From the comfort of my room

I hear you raging

I hear you howling like a lover scorned

 

Such is the beauty of this great paradox

We call life, that

Your anger brings me the most wonderful peace

Your protestations sooth me and heal me

 

And I,

Just a single droplet in the ocean of creation

Am completely helpless

In relieving your pain

 

I cannot heal you, as you heal me

I can but feel eternal gratitude

For your love

Unconditional

 

Happiness

The quest for happiness is fruitless                                                                                    For it is not a task to be performed                                                                                      The average mind believes that happiness can be found in “things”                                But, the thirst of such a mind is never quenched

Such a mind chooses the arduous slog of the eternal treadmill;                                        the destination of suffering

Stop!

Take a moment

Listen to the silence

It whispers the language of love

Enter into Zen                                                                                                                    And the realisation that you, yourself, are happiness embodied

You may now break out into timeless laughter

 

Surrender

In the twilight of the morning, I hear you softly calling                                                        Stirring me into a new day                                                                                                  I venture forth, once more into the chaos

My light shines before me                                                                                                    Dispelling the darkness as it does so                                                                                  What new adventures await?

“Come, take my hand,” I hear you softly whisper                                                                And like a child,                                                                                                                  safe in the arms of a father who loves him dearly

I surrender to your presence

 

The Mists Of Time

Oh Mists of Time

Tell me your secrets

You wear your mysteries like a shroud

How will I know you?

 

And The Mists of Time answered…

 

My child – there are no mysteries

My secrets are your secrets

For you and I are One

Together we have surfed the corridors of eternity

 

We have shared untold wonders

The joys of pleasure and ecstasy

Strength-giving tribulations

And with each growth inducing experience

 

We dive deeper into infinity

Roll Hills Roll

Roll hills, roll

With your chameleon-like colours

Ever changing, with each passage of time

What secrets do you hold?

 

Roll hills, roll, roll on

Bask in golden sunlight

Be cooled by the rain

Allow the elements to sooth your pain

 

We share the same father, you and I

Yet my brothers and sisters beat your brow

 

Roll hills, roll

Take refuge in your beauty

Drink from Mother Nature’s cup

Eat at her table

 

Celebrate your glory

time and time again

In the overcoming of human inflicted adversity

 

Roll hills, roll, roll on

And roll on again

Roll on into eternity

Beautiful Earth

Beloved friend

Who Am I

Who Am I?

If you look for me, you won’t find me

If you find me, I disappear

I am nowhere, and

I am now here

I am everything, yet

I am nothing

 

Who Am I?

You can touch me, yet

I am not solid

I am as the sun when obscured by clouds

Ever present, but unseen

I am the knower of that which cannot be known

The All in All

 

Who Am I

I speak with the language of fragrance, but

My voice is silent

I am in constant motion, but

You will only find me in the stillness of your heart

 

Who Am I?

The Eternal Oasis Of Love

Why do you weep for me?

I have not gone anywhere.

You will see my uniqueness

in the intricacy of a snowflake.

 

Before I melt away,

then entertain you with a dawn chorus,

tantalise your senses with earthy richness,

as I spatter the land in raindrops.

 

I twinkle with happiness

when you gaze up at the stars,

or look into the eyes of a new born baby.

Your heart yearns for me.

 

Follow the path of your yearning,

it will guide you to its source.

 

The eternal oasis of Love

 

There shall we meet,

and melt into the timeless abyss

 

The Eternal Silence

Words are sounds we don’t always understand

They describe things we don’t always see

They utter pleas that often fall on deaf ears

The language of words can be very deceiving

See

Sea

C

Si

We are often confused with what we are receiving

 

There’s only one language we all understand

We find it within

It’s always at hand

The eternal silence

The language of the soul

The eternal silence

The knower of all

Love breathes in

Mother nature waits in excited anticipation

Love breathes out

Behold!

Who Came First

Said the acorn to the world, “I give to you the great oak tree.”

Said the great oak tree to the world, “I give to you the acorn.”

Mother nature spoke, “Who came first?”

“Twas the mighty oak,” said the acorn.

“Twas the acorn,” said the mighty oak

Love suddenly spoke…

“You came together, as One, out of the Timeless Wilderness,

And as One, shall you remain.
