I Will Be Seeing You

Black or Pussy Willow

Fare thee well my old friend

nothing really ever ends

He Was My Peripatetic Friend

Time is for the living

the breathing-in and giving

the breathing-out

to take life in, breathing all to begin.

Now and again

Where and when

Here and now we learn somehow

life is here this very moment

we never know when living goes.

God knows.

Written in memory of CMR on April 26, 2015

Ten years ago to the day, to the hour, to the minute

I watched my friend step off the bus

and meander across the south-eastern park-lands of Adelaide.

He very suddenly died ten days later,

at the same time of morning, in that corner of the city.

He was walking past a sports store 

and slumped in a footpath deck-chair.

He was my peripatetic friend.

I Weep. I Weep For The Men

I weep. I weep for the men

who until then

never asked for help or looked within.

 

For the way ahead

may be dark indeed

and I hope with all my heart

that the light streams

and there are ways

to express the depths, to clear the haze.

May nurturing come and nourishment be,

may they have the love

they surely need

and when will they call for help

to uncover themselves and shine their light

into the darkness 

of ‘the dark night of the soul’ 

who longs in a plaintive way

for the affection,

encouragement,

and someone who’ll say

‘Come near and rest, you have tried your best’.

 

You dear friend need to change,

to know your own true ways,

to walk away from hazy days.

Let you be the one healing to the core,

before you carry any more

loads of burdens you do not need,

and now is the present,

with a call for freedom ringing clear,

take this year to meet yourself

and shake your life

courageously

to bring yourself to being free.

Free to feel.

Free to heal.

Let all the past dissolve away.

 

Call the new to heal you, now.

No time to wait or hesitate.

Come to yourself.

Honor yourself.

Shine your light now.

You Always Gave Him Love

I picked a posy for you in your time of loss.

I gathered the greens and fresh bright leaves

with only a stem or two of blooms to be amongst

this herbal healing bunch.

Your precious brother has passed away

and I feel your grief so just will say

‘take heart my dear friend, you always gave him love’.

All your kindness he did know

as Dear One with the golden heart

you were with him in ‘the transition days’

with your compassion and light

shining bright.

So here for you is Sacred Bamboo

and fresh Ferns from a lovely dell

with the tonic of Lemongrass to lift you up…….

Honeysuckle for the sweet past times,

Pelargonium with the clearest scent

and Rosalina with it’s earthy yin

so you know as your sorrow flows

you are nurtured with love from above.

This Is The Way

And now here you are breaking through

to share your growth with those

who will listen to

where you feel you have been

and although that world is unseen

you have found and certainly gleamed

the truth of where you want to be

and how to follow what you ‘know’.

You know you are spirit.

You know there is freedom

and love to know the way

and courage to express what you say

to more folk in your surrounds,

to breakthrough

what you think

are ‘bounds of cords’,

knotting free expression

but truly dear, it is very clear

you came here this time

to follow on from

the past life of scribing long into the night

of deadly fright,

into the end of that old life.

And here today in the meditative way

you cleared that wound

you have new strength

the light is here all around

so you have found “your WAY”

This way is clear,

this way will bring music to your days

and new confidence so you will say

make my time free to be

make it clear so I will see

the only way through this new world,

is write the lines,

take the steps,

this time will be the time to leap,

the time to transverse

many teachings which come to you

without rehearsal,

so as you go 

there’s much reversal of the past ways,

hence bringing joy to your days.

So listen now, as true you ‘hear’

mauve Autumn Crocus whispering clear….

‘This is The Way, you have come today,

this my Dear will heal your heart.

Your etheric body is light as air

and you are ready now to always share.

We will bring you inspiration

so you may

distribute with your warm vibration.

with a mauve Autumn Crocus flower

The Glorious And Pink-Hearted

Today I hold an open rose

with translucent petals of glorious pinks

and this is a perfect gift.

This flower has abundant ‘hearts’

and one green leaf chewed to be

a sign to show my heart is healed

as here I am in this new world.

Morning Glory Story......Blooms One Day Then Fades Away

 

Morning Glory here to tell

an afternoon story from the deepest well.

Well what I know is there within

and where do I

start to begin,

where will this story go

and how long will I be inside

to bring the light to what I hide

from many years of trying to

let only my best side be shining through.

Just looking now

you have crumpled,

wilted and seem to be

passing over if what I see

is symbolic of the vibrancy

gone instantaneously.

So picking you was my mistake

and why did not I

leave you growing on the vine

as passing by you looked divine.

Obviously there will be

a tale to tell as I write,

a way of explaining day and night.

The day was love and shining bright

the night was dark with violent fright.

So yes, I learned to show ‘tough love’

until you left my space

to rent a place

and

eventually

you achieved

your sobriety.

Well ‘life is like that’…….

‘not all roses’

as morning glory dies in posies.

Go out

go in

go where you see

the sun will shine on your leaves,

the blue will glow as new buds grow

Yes, in the next life, I’ll see you

accepting truth and integrity,

blooming

each day

brilliantly.

Warm Nurturing Notes

Here with me now

in a beautiful bowl

is an array of French lavender

with warm nurturing notes

to protect and cherish in this fresh floral way

a true-healing herbal present today.

You My Precious Are A Posy

You flower like a beautiful flower

and are as rosy as a rose posy

so let me say, here today

every bee will come your way

and I indeed love to see

you blooming so magnificently!

 

The Courage To Let Your Spirit Shine

Let much go

you know it’s time

to walk ahead

leave much behind

as now you have the courage to

be yourself

and follow through

with all you wish to create

the path is clear

through this open gate.

So take yourself

and this best chance

and live the life

which will enhance

the deepest callings

from your spirit

be here Now

really Be

and every way

is lit today

and in this Now

you know how

to embrace your space

embrace your place

and bring this joy

to your inner heart

you have the spark

to light the flame

you have the Will

to live anew

and make this lifetime

the one that shines

you are here Now

and it is time.

Embrace each day

in every way

that heals your soul,

that clears the shadows,

that calls ahead

let me be the one to be myself

let me be who I know I am

let me shine my inner light

to show me all is safe ahead

and all old wounds are truly healed

when listening to the call of Spirit

singing me home to deep within

my heart is shining

so I begin

Now
