A Silver Lining

Feel the serenity, of the morning showers
See the mountains’ amazing majesty
Be amazed by nature’s perfect symphony
Natural as the beauty, of the morn’s touches

In the darkest of clouds, is a silver lining
As the hint of a rainbow, in a brooding sky
Everything is reaching up, to the sky beyond
Telling us to rise, above our humble earthly lie

So don’t tell me, that you are all alone
When many arms, lovingly reach out to you
Step out and reciprocate, the embrace due
Hugging with your heart, then your arms

Pray heed, the tugging on your heart strings
And hear the melody of the searching heart
Just sing along with the tugging of the strings
The pain will disappear from deep in the heart

Heart in Your Hand

Return to True Self

A deep connection with places,
That have left a mark
A recall of messages that,
Far from being just poetic
Are messages that reflect,
The stages of life, of memories

The tales of swordsmanship,
and epic battles
Battles of good versus evil,
Of Light over darkness
Of epic struggles being pursued,
In battles of cosmic linkages

A time to return to our true self,
To reconnect
A period for introspection,
And calm reflection
A walk back through memories,
Of the childhood years

Signs of the Unseen

The Fly By

Standing in the garden this morning
Soaking in the soft dawn unfolding
I see this lonely figure glide silently by
This fly by up in the sky, it’s a Firefly

A plane, a plane, it’s a plane I see
It’s flying high, high up in the sky
It’s a spirit flying, yearning to be free
Yes, it’s me with wings up in the sky

Patience, practice, practice to fly
It’s not per chance, but real hard work
If you really want to fly, ‘tis all hard work
And patience, practice, and an eye to fly

Fly By in the Sky

In the Shadows

You don’t have to take on my pain
Or to push away my shadows
You just need to be the steady hand
That I can reach for, in the shadows
Yes, in the shadows as I find my way
In this sometimes, frightening world

My pain is mine to carry, the battles mine
For me to face, and overcome alone
But your presence helps me, to remind me,
That I’m not alone
Yes, sometimes in a truly frightening world
It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy

I’m worthy of love, even when I feel broken
So, in those dark hours, when
I lose my way, will you just be here?
Not as a rescuer, but as a companion
Hold my hand until the dawn arrives,
Helping me remember my own strength

Long Shadows

So Be Counted

Walk in nature, go hug a tree
Breathe in the fresh air of the morn
Making each moment you have count
Be grateful, emptied of all artificiality

All the phenomenon, of the cosmic dance
Of forms and interplay, are not by chance
But solely to unveil, to create awareness
For you to realise the truth, at the deepest

Know then, that you are safe in His hands
Yes, every single moment is in His hands
Who are we without Him, sans his attention?
Are we not among one of all His creation?

So be counted, amongst the grateful
For praise was never performative
It comes from true humility, and grace
From a deep, and abiding sense of belief
