Seek First #Decima #Poem

Posted on by

The earth is teeming with delights!
We have a few, but want them all.
They beckon with a siren call
And offer solace in the night.

But o the folly, o the fright!
Awakening upon the worst,
We find our hoped-for blessings cursed;
Our choices hasty and unwise…
But we can choose the Spirit’s eyes
And focus on the Heavens first!

Frenzy’s Folly #Poem

Posted on by

In folly frenzy finds us caught
When running races we are off
With dashed decisions’ desperate calls
Inviting us to folly’s halls.

By taking tests and testing time,
We rest in rhythm’s reasoned rhyme.
With Nature’s knowing we are fed
By bearing boldly, being blessed!

When frenzy’s folly faces fate,
We wait on wisdom’s choice to make!

One Light #Poem

Posted on by

One Light is all we need and All we are.
Through Light we live, we spark, we shine like stars.

The All There Is, One Life, no you or I.
Truth breathes One Breath, no end to Life so high.

We think, “What if?” We ask; our mind says, “BUT!”
No change in laws of who and where and what.

Go in! Go in to seek, to see, to find
One Light, One Life, right here, right now, in Mind!

Do hope, do love, do live and be your best;
Light guides all back to One; in Whom we rest.

Colors Fall #Haiku #Poem

Posted on by

Leaves drifting from trees
Light reflects, receeds, renews
Rainbow colors fall.

Rainbow colors Fall
Orange, red, browns darkening
Nature calls for change.

Nature calls for change
Within our bodies ringing
Tides that ebb and flow.

Tides of ebb and flow
Earth and sky and sea respond
As below, above.

Tempting Fate #Decima #Poem

Posted on by

We know the things we shouldn’t do,
But often we refuse to wait.
We’re causing karma, tempting fate
With consequences. That’s the truth.

Yet we’re not lost, and we’re not through!
The soul within us always lasts
In present’s future, leaving past.
We’re living out the ebb and flow
That Nature-God already knows,
By choice becoming what we ask!

Boutique of Thoughts #SixSentenceStories

Posted on by

When I hear the word boutique, several things happen in my head. They happen so fast that I’m not even sure of their order, but nevertheless, here they are!

I think <“OOO, fancy!”

I lament, “No, not in my budget, which barely meets necessities, much less high-end (Read: high dollar) desires!”

And I remember a time before the time before I knew what money was, before I realized my so-called situation in life, a time when I just thought of a boutique as somewhere it would be super cool to visit–and maybe they would even have tea and cakes!

I’m a realist, but I also believe in keeping childhood dreams alive!

On Course #Poem

Posted on by

My magnum opus isn’t done!
It’s really only just begun!

It brings fulfillment, joy and bliss,
Hiding exactly what it is…

Attracting with magnetic force,
While Spirit guides my journey’s course.

Oh soul, awake my mind to know,
Why music keeps me striving so!
