Poetry
Return To Love
Come upon a journey
To the centre of your heart and mind,
There to find a star that shines
One step outside of space and time.
And as you travel to that place of light,
Let go of all that is not you—
The lies the ego tries to use,
Guilt and shame and false beliefs,
Buried tears for sweet relief,
Resentments that have lost their names,
The unforgiven ones you blame,
The judgments that you choose to place
On those who wear your shadow’s face.
Forgive yourself for all mistakes
The lost or wounded you did make.
For deep within your heart
There lies a love that knows no bounds,
Sacred and eternal,
Ever waiting to be found.
A love that when awakened
Shall open every door.
To know this love is all that’s true
Will melt you to the core.
A love so bright that when engaged
No darkness can withstand.
A love that ever reaches out
Its soft and tender hand.
A love that is the spark of life,
Of who you truly are;
The everlasting light within—
It’s you this loving star.

Micropoems
Love Loving
Love will meet you wherever you are,
more so when you stop searching afar.
You’ll find it where it has always been—
in the air, beneath your feet, & under your skin,
flowing through the pranic energy
that love begins & spins.
Rest in love; let it seep into all parts,
let it return you to the truth of who you are,
let it sing through your being
so each atom is humming
with the sound of love loving.
Elemental Healing
As the ocean waves cascade against the shore,
May your wounds and sores be licked with salt water.
As a bonfire burns with its hot oven core,
May a crucible of fire transform traumas to dust.
As the wind whips through trees, spinning leaves,
May the air blow the universe’s healing breath through you.
As the soil holds you steady in the palm of its hand,
May the earth extract hurt from within you.
Behold Trees
Trees are far more than bark and green,
More than the shapes that can be seen,
More than their roots entwined in deep,
Where ancient truths in soil sleep.
They breathe a field, unseen, yet near,
A living hush the heart can hear,
A wide expansive energy
Moving through their silent majesty.
Still they stand, yet all around,
Their spirit dances without bound.
So bow, not low, but heart to heart,
To honour all that they impart.
For trees are thresholds, bridges, keys,
Between the earth and mysteries.
In their embrace, the soul sees
Timeless magic flowing free.
There's nothing you need 'do' to be loved.
