Remember

Remember who you are
when no one is looking
and you're simply free
to be you.

Remember the words 
you once freely spoke
of the dreams and the life
you'd pursue.

Remember what makes
your heart dance with joy
on your path.
To yourself remain true.
 

Ocean

 

 'Come to me',
she said.

'Walk the shores of my waters,
dip your toes in my spray.

Let yourself be carried by the rhythm
of my gentle flow.

Be buffeted by the power
of my stormy anger. 

 Swim my hidden depths,
find treasures long forgotten.

Feel the embrace of a million beings
all longing to be one, to live, to flow.

Allow my waves to wash over you,
bathing you in the memory of home.

Surrender to the life that
birthed your soul.' 

 

 

 

Never Too Small

Never too small
to reflect the light,
to be a bright star
in somebody's night.

Never too small
to utter your voice,
to remind us all
that we have a choice.

 

Never too small 
to show kindness and grace,
to help us remember
we all share this place.

 

In this world
where love 
is long overdue, 
 your light and your voice 
and your kindness
shine through.

The Sacred Currents

Breath of life
flows from your lips,
sustaining all in your path.

 

Moving freely
on invisible wings,
you lift my spirit to soaring heights.

 

Born of radiance,
your starlight is reflected
in my eyes.

 

Your glow 
lights up my path
in the dark of the night. 

 

Gentle as
soft raindrops
on a warm summer's eve,

 

mighty as the roar 
of a thundering waterfall,
you flow through me. 

 

Steadfast and strong,
yet soft to the touch
like morning's fresh grass, 

 

I am grounded in you,
my roots go down deep.
I know I am home where you are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Gift

 

You give us the gift
of displaying our colours,
turning scars
into works of art. 

 

of embracing the light
and the darkness within
and healing when
life falls apart. 

 

 With you,
we grow stronger
until we are whole
you allow us a clean, fresh start.

 

Thank you, Time. 

 

 

 

 

 

Journey

 

The little spider

makes her way
over the fallen twig

 

as I seek my path,
making my way
over the fallen tree,

 

as we all make our way
through a cosmos
of flying debris.

 

Each on our own journey,

we fall, we get stuck,

 

we learn, we grow stronger,
we pick ourselves up. 

 

On this planet we share,
we’ve come so far.

 

Each on our own path,

yet together we are.

 

Free To Be

 

Standing in
this hallowed space
where sunlight falls
upon my face,

where light winds blow
and tree tops sway
and Robins sing
to greet the day,

I breathe in deep,
let out a sigh
as heavy thoughts
are lifted high.

Here, I'm welcome.
Here, I'm free.
Nothing to prove.
Just free to be.
