Judgement Call

 

I'm going to make a judgement call

that we stop condemning all.

 

For who are we to play the judge,
to criticize and hold a grudge?

 

What wisdom do you think you bear

when, for my pain you do not care? 

 

If we don't walk in each other's shoes,

no one wins, we both shall lose.

 

It is I who plays the fool

when I forget 'The Golden Rule'.

 

I look at you 

as you look at me.

 

And in the paths we do not take,
on the roads we do not go,

 

in the people we don't see
and the faces we don't know

 

a world awaits before us
to build deeper connections, 

 

to see the truth within,
that we are all reflections.

 

If I can reflect you
and you can reflect me,

then we can show the love
and the beauty that we see.

 

 

Morning Glory

The Morning Glory 
glowing in all her splendor

displays her elegance

in response to the radiant sun.

And all who see her

can delight in her glory,

beauty shared freely,

a gift for everyone.

Meet the Day

 

Pink on brown,
reflected in water,
going for a run,
or maybe just a stroll.

Rushed out
to meet the day,
then slowed down
to take it in.

Sunlight glitters
silver on the water,
waves crash loudly,
sunlight sparkles louder.

Boats in a line,
heading for an island,
adventure calls,
it's time to dive right in!

Life Taking Form

 

 

Don't worry about the noise,
the filth and the mud,
don't worry about the fear
that rises like a flood.

When you feel lost,
no light to be found,
remember the seeds 
deep down underground. 

Small seeds of kindness
are sown in the fall.
before winter's shadow
descends on us all.

For seeds thrive in darkness,
they stand through the storm,
they grow through the process
of life taking form.

And this life is yours 
to shape and to mold,
to fall and to rise,
to live and behold.

Keep walking your path, 
and looking above.
Keep planting the seeds,
and sending out love. 

 

Morning Magic

 

Morning magic,

rising mist,

dewdrops by

the sunlight kissed.

 

Ready to

embrace this day!

sending love

and light your way!

This I Know I Can

 

Though I may not always know

the next step, or what to do,

this I know I can,

this I promise you:

 

I will wake up with gratitude,

give thanks the whole day through,

find beauty, love and kindness

in everything I do.

Reflecting Beauty

 

Through the eyes of love

I am free to see

that we are all just one

and you are just like me.

 

And we can all reflect

the beauty that we see.

I will reflect you

and you will reflect me.

I Love You

 

I love how you
warm my back
on a cool day.

I love how you
chase the dark
shadows away.

You light up my path,
you are my star,
I love how you shine,
I love who you are.

I love how you
blow kisses,
light as a breeze.

I love how you
play with the
leaves in the trees.

You are my breath,
I love how you move me,
I love how you're wild,
I love how you soothe me.

I love how you
dance in raindrops
and streams.

I love how I
hear you at night
through my dreams.

You are my lifeblood,
you flow and refresh me,
with light you bring rainbows
and hope that restores me.

I love you,
Sun, Wind and Rain.

 

Dance of the Ancestors

 

I hear you, ancestors.

Free your life's breath!

Feel the spirit of dancing feet

bare on Mother Earth.

 

Heads flung back, hearts beat,

hear the drum's sound,

arms raised to the sky,

feet pulse on the ground.

 

Shadows dance in twilight,

voices carried on the wind,

no longer bound by fear,

spirits free to ascend.

Get up and Go

 

Before the sun is up
and the clouds are hanging low,
get up and go!

Before you feel fresh and clean,
still aching from head to toe,
get up and go!

Before you've decided what to do,
what this day brings, you do not know,
get up and go!

Get up and go and
the sun will rise to meet you!

Get up and go and
your body with stretch and wake up!

Get up and go and
your mind will expand and thank you!

Get up and go,
this day is meant to be lived!

 

Beautiful Blue

 

 

Hello, Blue Sky,
you beautiful thing,
so bright and lovely,
you make my heart sing! 

Whenever I see you,
I breathe deep and sigh,
I smile and I kiss
my worries good bye.

I love how you contrast
the green of the trees,
the bright coloured flowers,
the sweet buzzing bees.

You offer me space,
the feeling I’m free,
the freedom to breathe,
to smile and just be, 

happy at the start of day
and in the middle, too.
And when the day is closing,
you fade to a dark blue. 

Thank you for the gift of dreaming,
both by day and night,
reminding me that
everything will be alright.

Self Heal

 

The bravest thing
you can do
is to 

find yourself,
love yourself,
heal yourself.

Then you will unlock
such ecstasy and power
as you have never
experienced before.

Magic in the Details

By night, spinning

silver pathways,

a master artist...

at dawn, safely resting,

sunlight sparkles off

the silky threads

drifting on the

soft morning breeze,

catching my eye.

And off in the distance,

the same sunlight sparkling,

the same soft breeze blowing,

dew drops reflect

our home star,

tiny diamonds in the valley,

treetops bend

ever so slightly,

leaves dance in the wind.

Precious gifts I behold,

breathless in the moment,

the magic in the details.
