The Whispering Way

Who goes there…..

the deer and the bear

through past entanglements

to God Knows where.

Lost in the forest

as an unlikely pair.

Comes the time

to rake the leaves.

Comes the time

after years of grieving

Comes the time

the old is leaving.

Comes the dawn

with bright, shining light

as the little Dear sees a new day

and deeply knows her living ways.

The fallen foliage has made a path

the heart beats onward

the breath is calm

the Animal Spirits light The Way

to every new enlightened place

to hear the whispers with blessed Grace.

Looking For Me

My garden heart

is growing now

the pain has warmed

my healing feels

it came from knowing

how unreal

things really were

until I retrieved her.

Hello I see you now.

Where I looked longingly

you were not,

where I searched

you were unseen,

where I lived

you had been

and now delightedly

I have found

the earth you tread is crystal ground.

The Love has come

to warm my heart

so wind-chimes bring

deeper resonance

by looking in

to where my story did begin

a chapter writes itself anew

as I let go of searching you

I found the Little One.

The looking child lost to me

found hope and wholeness in the happily

ever after.

I want you to know I see you. I love you.

You are deeply loved.

Singing Along

A few days will come along

sojourneying will call to you

and country roads will lead you through

the strangest times that do arise

and there you see before your eyes

the new

the clear

the coming to

the never seen

the opening-up

the spreading out

the singing voice

bursts right out into the air

and breathe you do

the time has come

and so you do

launch with jubilance the bright new you.

All the more there is to know

so listen deeply

breathe and flow…….along

in these precious days

with all the new and shining ways

to see

to feel

to know what’s true

your healing happens and life expands

you are released with Love

to shift along

create the new

and stretch to be

all you ever knew

but seldom saw

is here with you for Evermore.

And truth it rises high to lead

melodies on your sleeve

playing helps the new

soak in deeply and lighten you

as harmony is the song

you sing within

the fruit bowl is full so juice will spring

comes the blossom time to sing

comes the day and shines the sun

comes the Love around the centre

follow along

the purpose path

is light and bright and open wide

breathe in deeply

extend your stride

and lead along

you will find

purple flowers with golden leaves

butterflies floating on the breeze

hearts are sounding openly

come along to share with me.

Waiting

Here and now

there and then

back we go to when

you were in a different place

and no one there

who you know now

and even so you know somehow

this is me

and you are gone

this is where

the winds have blown

this is where I am alone

and here I go to a new home

where life is simple

so calm and strange

and familiarity is not with me

and all around are views to see,

from different windows and different rooms

and I know this is a shell outside

who I am, no where to hide

no trees I planted or beautiful ways

to remember you as I pass my days.

Give me time I will adjust

I will move along when I must

I will wait, my time it comes

marching to a different drum.

Gathering

“Come to me”

I heard these silent words

as I came to start a bright new day

and a brilliant full moon

lit my way.

Clouds float by

anti-clockwise

as cool winds blew

rose petals strew

and I witnessed all from my room

within.

Yes a new day begins

and I am here

present to what’s becoming clear

Focus Forward Move Along

the breeze lifts

the winds are strong

the clouds now roll along.

Yes I see the way is clear ahead

it seems, and true it is

that the past is now back there

and the rising light greets the day

as new times arrive

and all the old is left behind.

You are shown a living room

where faith will bring

the answers to

all the challenges facing you.

The blue skies shine

as clouds have cleared

the day is calm

you bathe in sunshine and quietly rest

know and believe what is best……

Home again truly blessed

For You

I will hold the light, she said,

I will quietly sit by the bed

and through the day into the night

all will be lit

beside you.

And together

I know we will meet

those who come indeed to greet

you.

And still you sleep

as I,

gently weep into the dawning of a new day

so Farewell Dear One, you hear me say.

Gone with the flowers

to brighten all

comes the colourful Autumnal Fall

comes the beginning

following on

we all know

you tip-toed home.

There were all these years

you held the lamp

you kept the fires glowing

you expanded knowledge

turned endless pages

and became The Elder of the ages.

Hold quietly still

until your calling.

 

From A Bird

So why did we not see, what was obviously

visible to the birds.

The birds who flew

who sang,

who knew,

who nested safely and fed their young,

who twittered quietly when the day was done

who sang to the skies from within shrubbery

who perched in the tree-tops with a view to the sea.

If only the bird of spirituality

was heard like words of clarity

to those who miss the brighter song,

who need life’s pain

to bring the rain

to cleanse the lands

to start again.

So quietly here I go…….

I Feel This Day Deeply

Solitude

Quiet

Presence

Light

Radiance

Bright

Day & Night

Freedom

Within

Without

In air

With trees

Breathing

Breeze

Flowers

Petals

Earth & Fire

Higher

Lighter

Colors & Capes

Blue

Golden then White

Mirrors of Silver

Stardust Moonlight

Spontaneity and Presence

Along the way one sunny day

you heard a call to go this way.

to travel the path you’ve never been

and adventure along the seldom seen.

So you found the heart of you

where the shining comes

the humming sings

and then this brings

the joy to Be

truly happy and truly free.

Mystical lights do shine with brightness

when you share your warmth and inner lightness.

Now you feel

the tender heart

the open kindness

the enthusiasm for something new

the deep Space to bring

your Self to dance and sing

so joys expand and from within

comes the Love to nourish all

and all the healing to meet your call.

Blessings and peace lift you higher

as you journey with ceremonial fire

and surround the earth from inside out

to beat the drum,

to ring the bell

to sound our hearts and hope to tell

home is where the Light Is On

home is where Love is strong,

home is where-ever we may go

breathing stillness for all who know.

In the book “Flowers and Their Messages by The Mother at Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, India – first published in India in 1973 – These flowers spiritually symbolize “ Constant Remembrance of the Divine…. they bring Spontaneity and the Joyful Presence”

Growing Radiance

We went soul journeying for days

and healed inside in enormous ways.

With passion, determination,

focus and clarity

we brought forward and set pain free.

Our open hearts were glowing strong

so deep inside we have a bond

a Love together, we will remember

children playing,

crying, sharing,

blessing,

each and all of us here caring.
