Beautiful Blooms For You

Oh Joy!

Comes the sweet

 golden honeysuckle,

and one or two

delightfully fragrant

 happy petals for you.

With winter almost here

these cheerful blooms

fill my room

with

gracefulness.

I share this beauty,

this glorious scent

received with

 great full-ness.

Joy Springs From The Well Within

Joy is shining.

Comes this day, comes the new,

sweet Lovely Dear One

you are renewed.

The past was a long road,

the load was immense,

your loving heart

was lifted by angels,

your body was full of light,

even when you knew it was

a long dark-night.

I see you now

singing and dancing,

beaming brightly

as we all unite

expanding all joy

 with smiling delight.

Blessings, Peace and Love To All

And Then I Will Leave You To Rest

I see you weathered ones

as the wind has blown

and your day is done

or not.

Maybe,

 you just landed

 on the window sill

to rest a while until

the breeze

leads you

 gently through

 another day or two

before the soil

 covers you

for sleep.

Then

 compost comes

to nourish the trees

as this season of autumn leaves.

Liquidambar and Manchurian Pear Tree Leaves

Passing By

When driving through Summertown

I see two trees

and hear the whisper

'why are you 

just passing through?'

How do we know

where it is we stay a while,

who may need a passing smile,

who may need a greeting card

or a cheery phone call on a cold, cold day.

Could not we delay?

Our travels are more than just one day.

Who goes there

and why?

Who stays there for a lifetime?

Do we linger only long enough

to buy raspberries and ice-cream.

Is not there more to be seen?

Stop the car

and walk

 the length of a long, long road.

Sit beside the grape vines

and wonder when

will be the time

to search

 more around these hills

until,

a little place with a grassy field

calls you over to rest in clover.

Strawberry clover

strawberries in Summer time.

Timely and sublime.

A Rosy Posy For You

Here is a radiant

rosy posy

so calm

so beautifully happy

sharing joy

fragrance to breathe

beauty to see

inspiration to be

growing true

renewing you.

Rose Geranium blooming out of season -

Bridging Between

When the nights are cold

and the mist is silent,

Autumn is delighted 

just to be 

shining brilliantly.

Looking like a welcome fire,

I am always heartened 

when comes the May

as Viburnum carlesi

shows wondrous beauty

with a deep display

of picture-book colour

 for you today.

She grows slowly and welcomes frost.

Comes the Spring

sweet fragrance brings

honey birds and humming bees 

to this glorious tree

that continues to be 

alive and well, thankfully.

So Happy Birthday to you

my Apple Isle friend,

and remembrance

I also send

to the other side

where my sad friend went

who loved the delicate spicy scent.

Blessings, Love and Peace

Lavender Light

Under The Oak Tree

May I sit with you a little while
and receive renewal
from your green smile.

May I know each day
whatever arises
will pass
and whatever passes
will come to be
a way of learning for me.

May I breathe fresh air
in the mountain stillness
and allow myself the space to be
knowing clarity.

May I grow the herbs
and harvest the fruit,
may I shine within
and know there is
peace to be with me.

May I pick some blooms
and sing with flowers,
may I live simply
and treasure hours,
quietly knowing
life is growing all around me.


 

Aliveness

I see your light beaming

though the morning

calling

deeper

contemplation.

Yes I see more 

than ever before.

Yes I am very willing

to expand my view of you.

To allow you to see 

within me.

There is more

than ever before,

quietly present

in simple ways,

where we walk everyday.

I call to you

follow through.

Look deeply 

to truly love.

Let every plant

light your way.

Ask for guidance on your path.

Let leaves light your every step

and life will bless

 your every breath.

Have awareness of all there is.

Welcome beauty into quiet places.

Breathe love into open spaces.

Contemplate with loving kindness

Be open to real aliveness.

Blessings be

to the seen

and to the unseen.

To where we are

and where we have been.

And most especially

to this eternal Now.

Nurturing

Lovely Lavender 

present

here

with your angelic wings

your 

compassion brings

great caring

warmth

comfort 

and

harmony.

Every soul 

rests with you,

every body

feels restored,

every mind

indeed receives

 clarity.

We are renewed

by your

glorious colour,

 truly healed

and deeply soothed

with your fresh

   floral fragrance.

 We are regenerated

by Mother Earth's

great goodness.

I lead the way

and say

Thank you Great Mother

Thank you gentle flower

Look closely into these

and you may see 

the auric beauty.

It is like an invisibilty

 in the stems

on the right side

 of this HDR photo,

and around the tiny flowers

of the close-up..

(I took this photo today,

 early on the Ist May, 2018)

with a shining ray

Poets
 write
 of dappled light.

 I pass by

this nice old fence.
 I see the maple tree.

I ask a melody
to sit with me.

Dappled light
 appears to be

vanishing

like
 the autumn leaves

 before
 a winters night.

 

Sitting Still

When I see you

in a terracotta pot

shining in the sunshine

and happy in your spot,

I come over closer

to breathe your spicy aroma

and I am still.

In your Stillness, so am I

inspiration sits with me

as Dianthus teaches

Simplicity.

When Heaven Is On Earth

Your heaven eluded you.
What could I do.

Now thirteen years
have passed
and some think Heaven is where you are.
But all these years later
Heaven is where
I am Now.

Heaven is the Oneness
I have found.
The Presence,
the Upper Realms,
while I am grounded
the connection
found like never before,
you,
are closer now.
Believe that
somehow.

Always hiding somewhere
until I saw you
walking through
a corridor,
ready at last to explore
friendship
mediumship
a glimpse to your call from the ladder.
You were gone ten days later.

I was ready to follow you,
but it is true
guides brought you
to share visions
and I found my self
higher Faith
for goodness sake.

I find my Self,
then found the Presence
I see everywhere
in every tree and every flower,
every bee and every hour.
Every thing I look upon
helps me feel
eternally strong.

And so, on this anniversary
of a lovely weekend with the trees,
I share,
the Love that's always there.
I no longer wonder
where you are.

I know Heaven is where we are.
You up there
and me down here
with clarity, everything is clear.

The Beauteous Presence Of You

Beautiful

is my heart's morning cry.

Fruitful

is my life's evening smile.

Lifting Our Spirits

Beauty, presence

lifting wings

remoteness, Spirit sings

rising to the upper realms

shining white, welcome light 

autumn day, before the night 

This photo of White Cockatoos was taken a few days ago,

by Stuart Porteous, in the remote outback,

Northern Territory, Australia

 

Oh Joy

Oh Joy

A tiny feather gift

 is here for you.

It was seen

 in the little 'wishing tree',

where surprises come

occasionally.

Gently left

 by the honey bird

with her song to be heard

around our world.

Another gift to see,

'the wishing tree'

has smiling faces

shining pink

with a rainbow link.

For All Of You

Those With Wings Sing

I come this way with you today

I come to hear you cry.

Your sobbing comes

the weeping stays

the crying starts for days and days.

The wailing has all been within.

The rain has come, monsoons begin.

And previously,

it all has been silently.

Now deep within comes your healing.

This is not your deepest sorrow

as here comes tomorrow.

 

Feel your sorrow.

Raise it higher.

Every tear-drop on the floor 

brings the river to your door,

brings high Spirit to sit with you,

lifts old fears

to wash away on this day.

Blessings be my precious one

I know, you are not alone.

I pray with you this very day

on tears you swim away.

Peace begins.

Your heart does sing.

Now I am awake.

I sit with you.

I hold your hand from across the land.

Please understand

'there is no place far away'

we are all with you This day.

Blessings, Peace and Love
