If Only

Words, emotions, feelings
Are strung out to embody
The trust that is not there
To hover on dreams
That are made up
To replay scenes that once existed
Wearily I think, if only
And then the thought is gone
If only, plays in my mind
This is not reality
Reality is the here and now
And she/he is no part of that
And so I continue to exist
Wondering, dreaming, yearning
Yet I will not make a move
For I feel I’m in a glass box
And I have not walked out
Until I do, I am stuck
In the if only’s

Attention

Attention
Pay attention to the little nuisances
These nuisances are nudging me
To behave a certain way
Yet I fight them
I know what is good for me
Yet I choose the opposition
I know the story
I play it out every day
Getting the same results
Today will be different
I will change one thing
That one thing maybe, small

Yet it’s a lifetime for me

Rhythm

Open your heart

Let the rhythm flow
For there is nothing

In this world that God
Cannot fix
Know this
Honor this
Abide by this
This will bring you peace
This will bring you harmony
This will bring you joy
And when your heart is open
You will give

To all that you meet

Lifetime

Many days, many nights
Come and go
Yet little activity has transpired
It is time to
Wrestle the obstacles

To get to my passion
To get to my life
This is where I want to go
I must attack it
I must honor it
I must make my lifetime happen
For I am the only one

That can make ME
Be ME
It is now time, to throw open the doors

To the rest of MY lifetime

Step Into Me

I am gentle
I am peaceful
These are my traits
This is my true calling
I do not forsake sensuality
I do not forsake originality
I do not forsake being a Flower Child
This is the person I am
I step into it
I own it
For this is ME

All Ways

When sleeping dogs have their eyes closed
Know that they are on alert
When possums play dead
Know they are on alert
When you spin like a tornado
Know that you are out of control
Settle down
Close your eyes
Feel the feelings
Open your mind
Open your heart
Bring in the White Light of God
These moments stretch into eternity
For we are creatures of God
God shines his light on us always
All Ways….

First Step

Taking the first step
Is always a challenge
You are standing naked
In front of the world
Yet the only one
Who thinks
Or
Sees you naked, is you
Others are curious
Others want the experience
Others are forgiving
So
Forgive yourself

Let your talents flow

Ego Busting

Stand tall
When I stand tall
I step into my beliefs
I leave behind
My feelings, thoughts and emotions

I can then bring in

The most wondrous events
My calling
My connections
My path
This I call

Ego Busting
