Open

Until the sun shines on the morrow
I will wait, enchanted by all it brings
I am growing by leaps and bounds
I wait, as the bird on my window sings

Open to all I can enjoy this day
Open to all growth I can receive
Open to all those I can guide in spirit
Open to all those who will believe

Brought through all to stand straight
As the tree swayed but did not bend
So my spirit has followed its lead
And brought me safely to transcend

And this I know as the day dawns
Love is in abundance through all
All that is needed is to choose so
If you let go, you will not fall

Hover instead and see clearly
What lies ahead and before you
Make today be the blessed day
You discover all you can do

Judge of Truth

How is this, you know another’s path
How is this, you know their truth
What has brought such wisdom
That you may judge as a sleuth?

How then, is it that you know
The guilt of one you have not known
The heart of the one you knew not
Or what was reaped by what was sown?

Not your task to judge another
Only yourself you are clearly showing
Giving all the world what you hold
In your righteous world of knowing.

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.
