The Consciousness of Nature

1/5/2017

nature

Orchid

In life we look for the complexities instead of simplicities for healing our soul
Healing occurs when we enter into stillness, awareness and unfolding emotions
There is no better place to find this place of sweet serenity than nature
Nature that offers us reminders Spirit is always near

Healing occurs when we enter into stillness, awareness and unfolding emotions
Consciousness beats to the vibration of love out into the world
Nature offers us reminders that Spirit is always near
I am conscious of the healing that binds my soul to God

Consciousness beats to the vibration of love into the world
I am surrounded with blessings brought forth from Spirit
I am conscious of the healing that binds my soul to God
I feel the energy of this living world swirl around in living color

I am surrounded with blessings brought forth from Spirit
I am recharged as my consciousness expands with loving healing
I feel the energy of this living world swirl around in living color
I choose to be conscious of God's gift of His unending love.

Blessed Beyond Measure

16/4/2017

spirituality

In life it is not the nails
That pierce through to your heart
It is the spikes
That puncture holes so deep
They empty your very soul
It is in these moments, events, periods of life
That lead me to You
My beloved Lord Jesus
Where my heart is restored in You
My faith runneth over
I am blessed beyond measure
In my love for You.

Gift of Prayer

1/4/2017

prayer

As the morning dawn comes upon me
The Light opens my heart to a new day
A plenitude of prayer awakens my spirit
Words gush forth in silence

The Light opens my heart to a new day
Life twinkles in droplets that anoint the soul
Words gush forth in silence
As the gift of prayer heals my soul

Life twinkles in droplets that anoint the soul
A plenitude of prayer awakens my spirit
The gift of prayer heals my soul
As the morning dawn comes upon me.

Brillance Of The Light

10/2/2017

poetry

People will condemn you
They will call you names
And try to make you feel less than them
They will degrade you for their own enjoyment
They think it will make them happy
But it really doesn't
Let them live with their own karma
Because that is not what happiness is
Send them joy and abundance of life
Be full of the Light and let it heal you
Let it mend the holes they have poked through you
Use those holes to let in the Light
Let it fill you with its brilliance
Let it dance within you and make you smile
It will bring happiness all around you
You need not worry when the Light is inside you
For that is what happiness is
That is where happiness comes from
Within you and out into the world to share
The Light that shines so brightly
For the Lord to see and be glad.

Believe In Yourself

29/1/2017

empowerment poetry

There will always be those
Telling untruths for their gain
A reflection of themselves
And the predicament of their lives
For jealously has no end
It blocks the way to the Light
Stand tall, stand firm
Believe in yourself
With all of your might
You are your truth
The way to the Light.

Woe Of The Spirit

1/12/2016

conflict resolution

Published in The Edge Magazine online

After all the distorted facts and drama unfolds
She walks by smirking and taunting me still
Trying to push my buttons to get me to react
I stand back reeling from the horror
Of insults and insinuations hurling
She now acts superior like a victor home from battle
But the battle within her continues to toil
Although I wish to battle not, it also means I fear not
The fear you impose you unleash from within
A reflection of your thoughts and life experiences
I see your spirit and mine floods with sorrow
But woe the sorrow of my spirit helps you not
So I send you joy and an abundance of Light
As you seem to need it more than I now in your life
I hope your journey leads you to the peace that you seek
Just remember peace is not a battle; it is a place of quiet resolve
Where we learn from each other lessons to help one another
Let the Light guide you so fear falls away
You will then see in all a brighter day.

When The Bond Is Broken

11/11/2016

I teach and learn the lessons You have set before me Lord
Helping those in need, in need of You Lord
Spreading Your love until the day is over, over and done my Lord
For when my time is over on this earthly plane, You’ll call upon me Lord
For when the bond is broken, broken in two my Lord
I’ll be home again, home to You my Lord
You’ll free my soul for the journey, the journey home to You
I’ll kneel at Your gateway, my head held low
The river within flowing upon your steps
Trembling with the thoughts that You may not accept me
Shivering from the cold reality that I am not good enough
Fearing that the gate may not open as I knock upon it
Sorrow for not being able to finish all my tasks
Longing for Your presence
Knowing You are there for me but I must leave the earthly plane behind
The safety of the temporary home I had known
I stand true before You my Lord
The nakedness of my sins exposed
The truth free for You to see and bless with Your forgiveness
I need not say a word for You have seen my journey
You know the wounds I have endured
I am battered and bruised from those who refused to carry out Your lessons
From those who were filled with jealous, greed and anger
From those who saw me as weak for carrying out Your lessons
When You are near me I feel the tingling of Your warmth flow through my spirit
Now all is worth it when I feel Your forgiveness in the essence of Your presence
My face warms as my drenched eyes struggle to see
To my wondrous delight I see the glory of You Lord
Words can not express the feeling You deliver and the beauty you behold
The fullness of Your spirit overcomes all
The instant knowing all is right within
The open embrace of Your presence draws me near to You
Your protection and guidance have lead me home to You
There I find my home waiting, waiting there with You
The pain of leaving loved ones replaced with the comfort in knowing they will also come
When their work is over and their time on earth has come
We will reunite in the presence of You Lord
And so my journey will continue, continue with the Lord
I will set out to carry out Your word, Your word my Lord
For when the bond is broken, broken in two my Lord
I’ll be home to you.

Finding My Place

9/11/2016

empowerment poetry

Being here in this world
It's not about you
It's about me and finding my place
It's not about the teeter totter
It's the pivot
It's finding that point; the balance
As synergy takes hold
Placing everything on hold
As I centre myself
It's not about you
It's about me finding my place.

Healing Love

3/11/2016

healing love poetry

I live in Love and Light to guide my way
The kind of Love that flourishes in the Light
As that of the blossoms of a flower
Healing Love freely flows forth to feed my soul

The kind of Love that flourishes in the Light
Intertwined in my heart with Love
Healing Love freely flows forth to feed my soul
Where Angels forge healing Light for all to grow

Intertwined in my heart with Love
As that of the blossoms of a flower
Where Angels forge healing Light for all to grow
I live in Love and Light to guide my way.

Thy Will Be Done

1/11/2016

Joan of Arc poetry

Bravery in this world is no easy task
Joan of Arc; Vive Le France!
While warriors get trampled
Their greatness remains
Hoof prints embedded in our hearts
Rallying the troops for better days
To rid the world of sorrow
Takes a toll on those borrowed
Borrowed for this time
From great masters that lead us
Into battles that need winning
For mercy is at heart
God grant us forgiveness
For not standing up sooner
To show the world the bravery
Of trusting in Your heart
Faith will lead us
Truth will overcome
Grace will hold us
Thy will be done.

How Great Is Thou Art

26/10/2016

You care not what color
The pigment of the skin beholds
For You seek to create love
With every stroke of Your brush
Across the canvas of life
Joy unfolds before Your eyes
Yet then You bring life
To Your creations
Before our very eyes
As Spirit takes hold
Filling our hearts with every beat
As love blossoms deep inside
Our souls overflow
As You delight in our awe
Filling us with unending joy
Creating new works near and far
For us to discover
Bestowing upon our souls
As we marvel and absorb
How great is Thou art
Thank you Lord.

The Journey

7/10/2016

spirituality poetry

And so the world keeps turning
As I walk upon my path
Each turn I take leads me on
Sometimes I think I have found my way
Only to find the end
With another way unfolding
Right before mine eyes
And although my journey
Carries on with those
Close to my heart
I long to find the path
Where love is unconditional
Where peace is eternal
Where healing is universal
As I continue on my journey
You, my Lord
Are always in my heart.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Saint Therese of Lisieux Little Flower poetry

The Little Flower blossomed
As she walked upon a path
Rose petals adorned
The way to Jesus
Deep within her heart
Great love bestowed
With a shower of roses
From Heaven upon this earth
Her mission: sweetness of heart
Unite unto Thee
For love to be loved
In all of our hearts
As He is in Heaven
Here on our earth.

Lead Me As I Follow

3/9/2016

spirituality poetry

Blessed Lord Jesus
How I love Thee
Let me not count the ways
For there is no other way
Your Love is the way
The way of Truth
The way of Light
The way of Love
Lead me as You will
And I will gratefully follow
All the days of my life
I owe my all to You
My Blessed Lord Jesus.

Distant Memory

23/8/2016

I am but a distant memory
Of days gone past
My bones grow weary
My spirit lingers
In yesterday's youthful memories
And yet I carry on
As the sun rises
So too does my hope
My love, my devotion
For You my Lord
For in the days
I spend alone with You
I find myself in You
In You my Lord
I find great comfort
For thou art with me
All the days of my life.
