Star Dust

 

Child from above, 
Of Star Dust you are made.
When you look to the future,
you are not afraid.

Magic in your fingers,
starlight in your eyes,
like the sun you call your home,
each new day you rise.

Every morning you begin,
the light warm on your face.
When day fades to night,
you look up into space.

 

You smile at the Moon,
the stars are your friends.
One day, you'll return
when your life on Earth ends.

Here, on this rock,
this green planet you love,
you shower your joy,
your dreams from above.

Your heart's overwhelmed,
you have so much to give,
an unstoppable force,
a life destined to live.

Death, I Thank You

Death, I thank you

for now my mind is freed.

You are the only thing 

in this life that's guaranteed.

You help me understand
that all of life's a treasure,
you give me a perspective,
from which my life to measure,

to ask myself in honesty
if the life I lead
is full of all the things
that I really need.

You help me come to terms,
especially when you're near,
to cherish my loved ones,
those that I hold dear.

Sometimes I may fear you,
and feel you are a thief
when all that I can think and feel
is overwhelming grief.

And yet, you are a comfort,
reminding me to feel,
you give my heart permission
to say that pain is real.

You stand with me and keep my heart
from turning cold as stone,
reminding me that in the darkness
I am not alone.

 And so, Death, I thank you,
my spirit you revive,
to live each day as though it counts,
to be fully alive.

Meet Me There

 

Meet me where
the dappled sunlight
filters through the trees.

Meet me where
the noise of life
drifts faintly like a breeze.

Meet me where

my heart's so full,
I'll dance and spin around.

Meet me where
I'll rest my head on
mossy, sacred ground.

Meet me where
tall trees build a
cathedral to the sky.

 

Meet me where 
their branches lift triumphant
raised up high.

Meet me where
the dew drops twinkle,
rain drops drip from leaves.

Meet me where
the voice of water
puts my mind at ease.

Meet me where
the sparkling stream
reflects the clear blue sky.

Meet me where
soft clouds paint
vivid stories floating by.

 Meet me where
the wind speaks to
the language of my soul.

Meet me where
I know I'm home,
here's where my heart is whole.

 

Ever Higher

 

Ever higher, through the sunlight

let the magic lead me on!

 

Let my arms become my wings,

let the path become my song! 

Let my feet on Earth be grounded

while my Spirit here takes flight

 

following the dreams within me

to my inner child's delight!

Sacred Space

 

Here is a space,

a sacred space

where you can simply be.

Here is a space,

a beautiful space

to hug and love a tree.

And in this space,

this wonderful space

our hearts are free to see

that this is how 

we're meant to live

and how we're meant to be.

Open Book

 

 

If I am an open book,
will you stop and take a look 

 

and read beyond the pages
of the stories that I tell?  

 

Will you take the lines I share

and hold them to your heart?

Will you promise not to
let them rip and fall apart?

 

 Will you glimpse the beauty,
and see the path I walk?

 

Will you hear my truth
underneath the shallow talk?

 

For words can be so empty,
but our souls can say so much.

 

And love is shown in action,

in kindness and in touch.

 

So I will try to hear your soul
and learn to listen more.
 

 And maybe we can find each other
through love's open door. 

 

 

 

 

Light at the Top

 

And then, when you've stumbled
over the ruts and stones on your path,
picked yourself up, carried on
through dark forests with ever winding roads
and climbed over a field of rough boulders,
your limbs aching, your mouth parched,
your lips chapped,
you see that there is light at the top. 
 

It beckons you further up and onward. 

You reach the summit and cry out for joy!

You refresh yourself
in the clear mountain stream and feel reborn!

 

And though there will be
many more mountains to climb, 
you are no longer afraid.
For this brief moment in time,
you are grateful
to just breathe in deep and enjoy the view.
