Willingness

 

Open me up to listen more

to hear more ways to explore,

to walk my path in coloured shoes

and keep on walking-off the blues……

So then I will hear more tunes,

a melody which fills all rooms……

It comes from the past

and burns with fire,

it’s lightest note brings desire

for all there is to enjoy,

for sharing more of my gift of life,

for reaching out across the fields,

for posting more of my yields

which stream to me with the joy of song…..

they are what lets me reach up higher

and bring the warmth of winter’s fire…..

In winter-time I go within

to hibernate,

rest

and create.

Bring all you have to all there is

and light a fire to shine on high,

a blaze so bright it cheers the sky

and all the cold of morning frost

is gone,

it is gone

but never lost……..

We need all seasons,

be they cold or hot,

we welcome change,

do we not?

Oh some folk change to fuel their growth

and some are just wound up tight

to cocoon-in heat

from the dark night.

Some of us live free and clear

knowing that what-ever’s there

will be over here as well,

so soon we’ll know

and soon we’ll tell

that happiness is a gift to each,

some give-up looking

and never seek

and some are held

under the weight of past,

leave those burdens,

escape at last.

Life it is for living free,

forgiveness brings much joy to see

for all who smile at every brother

we are all one

from our Earth Mother.

So what this Honeysuckle says to me

on this mild winter’s day

is smile and play, forgive and say….

“Let my life be one of joy,

as happiness comes to me,

and I welcome every new friend found

there is light and harmony all around’…..

The season sings,

flowering snowbells ring,

some colour begins to show

and the hopeful ones do all know

that as honeysuckle calls the hummingbirds

the bells of faith are rung

and heard…..

Honeyeaters know to look within

to where they find the sweetest nectar

these little birds with a musical call

have a melodic song to share with all.

As fragrance fills this everyday

the present-moment is a time for play

enjoying the gentle winter light

and bringing willingness into your life.
