Time of Transition

 

We are so full of triggers

full of learned behaviour,

is it even possible to undo it all?

Every day I go about

catching myself ere I speak without thought,

I look with scepticism at every rule,

I question the steps I’ve been taught

and very little stands up to scrutiny now,

I was filled with horror, fear, shock, anger,

entertained thoughts of vengeance and war

but this war was already waging,

within.

It is said, we need to reach the bottom

before we can rise,

we have to face every fear,

we have to realise ourselves

as sovereign, autonomous beings,

we have to recognise

we are from here, from this earth,

we do nOt need to fit in, belong, conform,

we have our place, we are perfect, whole, free souls,

meant to wander freely as we desire,

with respect to nature, to mother earth,

live with the sun and the moon,

live with the seasons,

and we will be filled with light,

rewarded with love,

live in peace and joy……

Grace and beauty

 

 What is grace and beauty

but being able to sit in the sunshine,

the music from the Sunday market

temporarily overriding the motion of the waves,

may I stay in this movement,

in this flow of nature,

without obstruction, without resistance,

at peace, at rest, with the knowing

this is the way to living.

 

I wish I could

 The cloud is soft and the spirit light

yet the tears fall as rain on this plane,

stifling my breath,

the pain and suffering a blow to my stomach,

I double over from the force,

and I wish I could extend my arms,

wrap them around every pain, every tear, every loss,

hold you ‘til the tears run dry and the pain subsides,

hold you until you can lift your head and gaze at the dawn,

hold you until your being is filled with the light of your wakened spirit,

then gently let you go as you jump free from the restraints of darkness,

beings so light you float above the ground on legs as young as a gazelle,

eyes as bright as a child’s and a heart open and filled with love.

 

Love and Light

 

 

There is so much I wish to say

but I can’t find the words

for the feelings I feel,

for the pictures in my head,

for an inexplicable clarity I have of things

which burdened, perplexed me

for such a long time,

my mind and my heart is sparkling

with visions and ideas,

there’s a newfound peace and joy inside

bursting free that may find me laughing out loud

when I walk barefoot across the lawn in the sunshine.

 

I see pictures behind pictures,

I hear sounds within sounds,

I see hues I have not seen before,

taste tastes I have not savoured before.

 

Make no mistake, I still feel stuck

in this old world,

my new world is not yet ready,

not yet mine to live in,

but this dysfunctional mess we are all finding ourselves in,

will not be for very much longer,

the edges are rough, the story is fraying,

the lie no longer has pillars to hold it up,

and while the old sinks and disintegrates,

my dawn, filled with love and light,

is growing brighter with every passing moment.

I understand my purpose,

I have love in my heart

and a warrior in my soul,

soon we will all be together,

my family, my tribe.

 

 

Dream magic

 

 

 

My dream is to be, to be all I can be,
to be comfortable in my own skin,
to know I belong
with the people around me,
the places I inhabit,
to the creatures whose path crosses mine.

I am a woman, I am whole,
I am a soul here to heal
and to heal those around me
with my presence,
I have knowledge of plants,
blooming and not, edible and not,
designed to heal, and not.

I use this knowledge given to me
to better every thing and living being around me,
for this to spread to all outer reaches of this plane,
bringing light, joy and peace to the restless,
bringing freedom, release and tomorrow to the divine souls
already sharing the sunshine with me,
and cooperation, understanding, respect,
growth, natural change and love will flood the earth,
touching every shadow, bringing it to light,
touching every sorrow, healing in its wake,
touching every broken heart, picking up the beat again
and able to emit the same love they have felt.

And thus the new world has begun.

 

7 ibis

 

 Seven ibis came over from the oceanside,

ever calling, calling, calling,

they drew a line right over my house,

all the while calling, calling, calling,

the front of the line reached the apex of the mountain,

they spiraled down onto a field out of sight,

all the time calling, calling, calling,

at 18-something on 18 November, 7 ibis flew over my house.

 

 

On the Path of Love and Light

 

The ocean in the not too far off distance is rolling, azure, warm,

the soft breeze feels good,

as does the sun on my bare skin,

and the music in the air caresses my senses

into a perfectly soft, white, fluffy cloud,

joy floods every part of my being,

contentment, peace, I’m pliable, drifting in the flow

of what is, in light and goodness and kindness, giving, receiving,

a never-ending circle feeding, nourishing, growing ever bigger

and stronger, stronger than the dismally low frequencies

prevailing right now, they cannot resist, they cannot withstand

the tug from deep within their soul answering the universal call

of love, so let it be.

 

The 5th of November

 

 

I’m free-flowing with old rock,

the drums and easy living hypnotic and it captures

my imagination in the ways of old,

awakens that drive, the passion to break every restriction,

follow the beat of your heart and the direction of your footfalls

into the darkening Friday night waiting…

 

Close your eyes and see the colours float through the air,

colourful strands of music teasing and tasting,

enticing you to move your limbs however they need,

however they want, toward whatever may happen,

wherever that may be,

it invites your sense of youth, of love, of excitement,

dripping with the desire to live, live fully and wholly and exclusively

to your truth, your being, your longings

and drag away this captured 55-year old woman

from the midst of an invisible war, where every fairy tale has proven true

and every news cast is fabrication and indoctrination.

 

Damn you! Damn you for stealing dreams, hope, joy, pleasure,

damn you for hurting children! Damn you for hurting animals!

Damn you for thinking you have to right to abuse and kill at your whim!

Damn you for always hovering at the edge of escape

but tonight? Tonight you are going to have to take 2^nd seat

for I plan to be, to feel, to do, just that which I desire to,

it is the 5^th of November…...
