Blooded into Battle

Each emotion there like a knife, as it wounded

Each thought of negativity I felt

Dense energy was invading me- 

still I refused to yield....

On an invisible battle field

My first battle I stood-

True test of character, courage and light

I felt the darkness before me

I burnt hot, sweat trickled

in the cool afternoon before night.

I still 'felt', I still had 'fire'.

The odds were set against me

I took many blows, yet still I stood.

I breathed in deeply, fear was nigh.

I prayed for this to be over,

for my courage to be able to continue...

I felt each blow like a punch inside

Finally, it was over- with much to learn..

I limped from my confrontation with darkness

Still alive...

 but shaken to the core.

It's time to let go once again......

Time to prepare-

for the next 'invisible' battle.

Determined to learn from my lesson

Give me strength to let go and just 'be'

I surrender to love...

I let go of my fears.......

 Fill me with healing energy.

Not Alone....

I know within my heart of hearts

there are others feeling the same....

Warmth churns in my chest

and seeps out and radiates.

I feel as though there is a light

switched on from above-

when all else is in darkness

silently I radiate my love.

I am so grateful for my life.

No matter how much darkness

is around me-

my light shines still,

It is shining on the inside....

Fear shall not worry me.

I'll always find my way

Because I trust in the process

and in who I am today.

I'm now drawn like a magnet

to others shining light within,

reaching out and loving deeply-

blissfully connecting...

I implore you- love yourself...

love the purity, the light within

Just surrender to yourself-

silent and strong and unwavering.

I know I am not alone in this.

Come stand up- be free

Break the shackles of society-

of expectations, of trying to please...

Just be....just be....and know yourself

trust in the process....accept your truth...

I know I'm not alone in this.....

Let Me Love You

I stand before you naked,

peel back my layers,

and feel my very essence-

feel me in my rawest form....

Hear my truth, feel my light dawn.....

Know that you are supported-

know that you are nurtured,

know that I love you

and that you belong.

This intimacy is universal-

It. Is. Love-

so innocent and not compromised

by the physical touch.

Reach beyond emotions,

beyond the reason of the mind

to a new way of living:-

free, beautiful and giving.

Where light reigns over fear....

There's only one thing left to do:-

Just let me love you...

let me love you...

gently surrender,

feel the connection,

and let me love you.....

My Little Wish....

Inside of a cave- deep, dark and damp-

the only light comes from a place-

a place so distant, so different, so serene....

But...it's safe here in this cave,

in the confines of the rocks,

entombed by thoughts, fear, darkness...

It is the unchanged mind;

ever fearful, and stuck in the past,

anxious about the future........

Distractions in the cave lack substance,

lack passion, lack truth, love and beauty

and feeds into the fire of greed, lust and distrust.

Where the essence of a person is vacant-

like the cave itself- empty, dark, dull....

void of energy, void of light......

What if questions begin to arise....

what if that tiny light is seen....

what if we move toward it....

what would be felt?

Beauty, love, clarity, truth.....

Happiness, passion and freedom-

If I had one wish, one little desire

I would wish others feel the change

where that once dark, empty cave-

that void would be filled with fire.

Learning to Knowing

As I delve into my pain-

swim around in my inflammation

The answers encrypted

deeply hidden beneath codes.

Set deep in my beliefs

Set deep in my muscles

Set deeply in my very core

In my very essence....

Dreams are common place

Strange, strange dreams revealed

They make up a part of the code

this is all a part of being healed....

Anger- dark and thick as tar

now highlighted by the light.

Vibrations move inside of me-

Hands and feet possess such heat,

purple surrounds me and peacefully

I surrender, I am lost....

I release control- 

I release how you see me....

Now I feel who I am

and I know that I know

All will be well.....

My Day-dreams...

Do we take life too seriously?

Have we forgotten to have fun?

My four year old said to me-

'What do you want to do, Mum?'

My answer I gave him was:-

'I want to go running through some fields

and sing loudly wherever we are

Free and giggling we'd play together.....

our light brighter than any star

I want to go swimming in the ocean

and dancing in a stream

And stay up 'til the sun comes up

like it is just a dream

I want to soar like a bird

and fly so damn high

where sitting on the edge of a cliff

I lose all concept of time

Then I'll take myself to a waterfall

and feel the water land on my head

flowing effortlessly down my neck

colliding with the rocks where I stand

entranced by nature I'd succumb....

that's my idea of fun, my dear....

that's my idea of fun...'

Let's Go!!!!!

I feel a tingle

A tingle in my spine

of a road trip

to celebrate this life...

What's said on the road-

there it will remain.

Wild and free and with tongues untamed

Souls vibrant- energies soar...

let yourself unravel-

lets dance and explore

Be free and like a child

Don't think of your debts

let them go...

along with your regrets

No blame, no shame

just fun, fun, fun...

How good does this sound?

Lets live this life, lets be One!
