Break through
When seeking something new
and feeling you’re off-track
Your fear can be the clue
of where you can break through…
Become the part
I need a saving hero
to champion a new start
So stronger every day
I become the part
Make your mark
Brightly through the ending
share each ember of your spark
Time is yours for spending
Live with love…
The music of the music
Within the music
of the music
sing stories
deeper than song
Clarity
Clarity of purpose
clarifies the mind
Distilling from distraction
right action…
Soul of the seed
The soul of tree
was enormous indeed
The moment it started
as seed
Delicate idea
Choose with care
and only share
that delicate new idea
with those with the ability…
Life’s guitar
I’m a string on life’s guitar
tuned with the tension to ring
Too loose and I flap
too tight and I snap…
Sprouts
Our garden now is filled
with many tiny sprouts
gently set amongst
the flowers we know…
Fast
Hurrying forward
with tension and fear
The meaning in life slips past
In taking the time…
Creator and Curator

prunes the limbs and picks the fruit…

Compare
Beware of the thoughts that compare
Like quicksand they trick us
to sink in despair
Persistence & perfection
When facing creative resistance
And freezing with thoughts of rejection
Step into the path of persistence
And out of the trap of perfection
Beneath the stories
Beneath
the inner stories we allow
Await
the inner glories of the now
We prevailed
Built upon the losses
of all we tried and failed
The loss turned into learning
and that’s how we prevailed
Twice
I’ve made the mistake
and suffered the price
Now let the guilt go
or pay for it twice
Dry desert
Persist through the droughts
Move forward and know
Where dry desert ends
Green grasses grow
No Double Jeopardy
Has a book ever stopped you in your tracks and changed the direction of your thoughts thereafter? One mind-changing moment for me came from the book…

into what you can see
Or transform
into what you can be
Feedback is a diamond
freshly from the earth
Hard to see the sparkle
in that state
Yet polish off the edges…
Grasping for love
propels it away
Giving with love
attracts it to stay
