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.

Trapped

Indeed, I hear your whisper in my ear -
Raising the tiny hairs on my nape;
Swallowing slowly, as not to miss a drop -
From what is it, you so long to escape?

Mesmerized, I am waiting for the flow -
The images and sounds you wish to share;
At warp speed, the feed of the story -
Brought to this point by doom and despair.

Time, for you, having stood endless still -
Centuries and ages have long been past;
The peace you need is no longer here -
Lost in the darkness, ever so vast.

Someone to tell you where she awaits -
Forever, alone, you have so waited;
Lost in the flow of things gone wrong -
And all you hadn't anticipated.

In the light of love she patiently waits -
All you waited so long here to find;
Waiting over there, while you were here -
Rise up - leave now this world behind.

Back to the glory from wince you came -
Healing and peace await you there;
Love in abundance for you evermore -
Just for you, I give this prayer.

Anticipation

Emotion that I can no longer contain -
Seeps quickly from my fingertips;
A desire that has finally taken me -
I hear my own words leaving my lips!

A wanting I have kept silent within me -
Now, known by the one who knew not;
My fear of saying has left me dry -
In complete darkness, I fired the shot.

Leaked words have left me relieved -
No more secret heart left to bear;
I've gone off into the distance -
Hoping you will follow me there!

Unknown to the place to which I lead -
Knowing, though, pure bliss awaits;
Bringing down the fearful surrounds -
Knowing, all that my being anticipates.
