A Piece of God

Alas, my friend, the power of God -
Lies deep within you indeed;
Always more to explore and know -
Of Him, you are a tiny seed;

All are connected, as all are one -
We are strung with silver thread;
Released to experience our lives-
To create and grow as we are led.

How then, pretell, could you not be -
Worthy of all you can dream?
If you are but a piece of God -
Then, how else should it seem?

Open Heart

Lost in the enchantment of every day -
Knowing something special will be there;
I could not wait for the morning sun -
Now, it seems, the light I cannot bear.

I pour my heart and give without thought -
While others keep theirs caged and guarded;
Why does that scare another being so?
A shame, it seems, to be tender hearted.

An open heart full of love and acceptance -
Games of mind, within me, are not found;
Why should the negative be the norm -
And so many people keep their hearts bound?

The way to the light is within us all -
Deep within our hearts, lives the Spirit;
Love has no fears, and knows them not -
We only have to listen to hear it.

Visions

In the pyramids of my tired mind,
I see the stretch that you bore;
Such innocence lost so young,
Life for you, exists no more.

What once was a vibrant light,
Has ceased now in this realm;
All for the growth and love,
Of all those you were around.

Tonight I see it all so clearly,
And now I carry your message;
Peace be brought unto you,
Blessed be your soul's passage.
