Disentangle
all the torn
outworn
pieces
still inside you..
bruised emotion
quiet disgrace;
the untruths
within..
that buried place
where light
breaks in
and love
begins.

Deep
within
my being..
deeper
than any sorrow
or blind
non-seeing..
I find..
the resilience
of love..
the innocence
of love.

I peel away
the layers of life,
reveal
its fading history;
the love
the loss
the mystery
remembered..
here
within
this moment’s
space
I am
surrendered.

The
unfolding circles
of change;
breaking me down
remoulding
me..
this eternal
spiral
of struggle
and release
turmoil
and peace
struggle
and
release.

Days rolling on
through dusk
to dawn;
through
and
through..
with
or without
me
or you..
new days
becoming
seasons
turning..
new days
becoming.

Maybe
I have always known
the seeds of love
now fully grown..
would remind me
of all that’s lost
and tossed
aside..
in the living
of life..
and giving
away
of our truth.

I don’t care
about your Politics;
or where
you come from;
or how far
you’ve come
or who you are..
is your mind
wide open..
are you kind
in reality..
will you hear them
calling;
help him up
when he falls.

Junctures
emerge..
the converging lines
connecting
as if
divinely
timed..
a mesmerising mystery
of endings
and beginnings..
rearranging
and changing
everything.

It’s only
in the giving
of a grateful
fractured heart..
that joy will come from living,
and sorrows can depart..
for you’re
a wounded healer
whose essence
will transcend..
restoring and renewing
before this journey’s end.

Let me be..
where open
faces
cross my path..
and fearless
truth
embraces
me
with freedom’s
choice
and love’s
voice.

Let’s change
and rearrange
the view..
raise
the veil
escape this prison;
let flow
authentic
tears..
erase;
let go..
the prism
of fear.

In this present
moment
I am
weightless..
free
from the burden
of anticipation
unbound
from the chains
of regret..
I let
myself be.

Excerpt: Poems from the Universe:
Are you keeping it real;
feeling authentic..
your thoughts, deeds
and words
spoken
merging
like
water..
an unbroken
outpouring
of you.

Pummelled
by our own resistance
the turbulence
of change
can leave us
bruised..
let go
let go
let go
let all things happen
and then..
gently flow.

I’ve nothing to say;
a hollow voice
meaningless noise
banal and absurd
words words..
Listen to the silence
quietly confess;
within this emptiness
can a child’s eye view
be renewed.
