Goddess Of The Storm

Quote

Posted on October 27, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

The howling wind envelopes me

The Goddess of the Storm smuggles me away, and

I have no choice but to surrender to her whims

It soon becomes apparent, as we soar through time and space, that she means me no harm

She takes me on a journey; a great adventure

To the four corners of my imagination

For what seems like eons, we explore the timeless wilderness of unlimited possibilities. Until…

Dearest Goddess, please don’t subside now

I don’t want to go back

I don’t want to leave plots unhatched, ideas unrealised

As she fades away in the distance

Taking her place in the annals of my memory

I sit here, my creative juices stunted

Wondering what might have been

The Selfless Mother

Posted on October 23, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

As another golden sunset draws the day nearer to an end, I muse…

What could I possibly offer in oblation to Mother Nature that would be worthy of such an event?

Dearest Mother Nature, ever gracious in her magnificence

She who has everything yet, ever selfless, offers up every morsel, every atom in plumbless generosity

Maybe such musings on my part are fruitless

Maybe it is simply my volition to embrace my dharma

Accept what is, and

Follow the light of Love to the golden sunset within, and

Merge in its effulgence

Just A Breath Away

Posted on October 12, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

Like a vast universe existing within a single atom

So, the infinite peace within awaits to enfold you…

Away from worldly chaos, and

The shenanigans of life

Is a place of eternal sunrise

Free of suffering, pain and strife

A place of pristine peace

Of beauty and of grace

The air imbued with jasmine, and

Joy on every face

A place so vast

No earthly words can convey

It all exists within you

A single breath away

Just follow the gentle babbling brook

The flow of primordial Aum

It will lead you to your very core

Your life, your truth

Shalom

The Dawn

Posted on September 9, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

As a new day dawns

So does the dawn of opportunity

The opportunity to free our hearts and minds

From all worldly troubles, and

Embrace the reality of Self

Dance not to the song of illusion

Cling not to the theatre of torment

But follow the nectarine path

To the silent chamber of the Soul

Bask in the effulgence of wisdom

Drink from the cup of pure knowing

Know thyself, know thyself

The Light

Posted on September 7, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

When the atoms disperse

The Spirit remains

Consider not what is lost, but

Rejoice in what is gained

The journey continues

It has no end

Just surrender to the light

Just surrender to the light

Just surrender to…

I Am The Light

Will You?

Posted on August 11, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

Will you flit with me across the sky, and

Keep me close as clouds roll by

Will you touch my heart with moonlight, and

Melt my soul with a nectarine sigh

Will you dance with me in the ether

Will you caress me with your breath

Will you sing me a song of the sweetest Love, and

Hold my hand at death

I gazed upon the sunset, and being immediately seduced by her beauty, I had no choice but to surrender…

The Spirit Heals My Soul

Posted on June 22, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

I must confess that when I dwell on all the things that are going on in our crazy world, it fills me with the deepest sadness. I have never been able to understand why humans can inflict so much pain and suffering on fellow humans. A few weeks back I was having such a moment; I felt unbelievably sad at what was going on around the world and here in the UK. I decided that I would talk to the “Divine Doctor” and unload all my feelings. I was immediately touched within my heart in such a way that said, “I know how you feel; I understand.” This for me, brought immense beauty to the moment and I have been pondering ever since how to share the experience on my blog. So, here it is, along with a very simplistic poem that aptly sums up my relationship with Infinite Consciousness.

The Spirit never leaves me

The Spirit is my friend

The Spirit always guides me

As along the path I wend

The Spirit fills my heart with fire

The Spirit heals my soul

The Spirit sings a song of Love

When err I feel alone

I may not always understand

How the Spirit works

But that is good and fine with me

To its ways, I’m not averse

I appreciate the comfort

The Spirit gives to me

It doesn’t judge, it simply Loves

And all its gifts are free

The Beauty Within

Posted on June 1, 2026 by Author Richard F Holmes

With Nature’s grace

All things have their place

Whether good, bad or ugly

All are just opinions

Expressed by earth’s denizens

Never judge a book by the cover

Never believe you are more regal than another

From an egg

The fascinating caterpillar emerges

Only to disappear into pupal obscurity

Mother Nature weaves her magic, and

The Empress of The Lepidopteran Realm springs forth

In the form of a butterfly

Elegant and magnificent

She flits here and there

Breathing her vibrant magic into the world

In gratitude to the Mother that embraced her

She confers the gift of eggs to the earth

Then like a river that has found the ocean

She surrenders her spirit to the heavens

And so continues the cycle

With Nature’s grace

All things have their place

Whether good, bad or ugly

All are just judgements

Expressed by earth’s denizens

You never know what is contained within

So, be very careful what you opine

Never judge a book by the cover

Never believe you are more regal than another
