like rain
like raindrops do we come
and join in small puddles upon the hard earth
and these small drops
seek nothing less
than the ocean itself
like light do we shine
sometimes seeming dim in a dark place
yet do we merge with just one brother
and that joined light was enough
for it was the reason we remained flickering
like the earth do we stand
sweet mother yet hard
before our shell returns to her
does she hold us and sing
for all who live on her body
like rain do we cool
even the fiercest fire
and easily withstand
the hardest of stones
like water do we weave
through the valley and into the hearts
of every last brother
we seek
We will find you
we will enter into your heart my brother
we are the water
we are the light
we are the earth

spring of the soul

growth is never linear but cyclical
change is seasons leading to trends
in directions we head over time
that we know our own winter
and too do we know our spring
colors arising from within
our heart bursting with love
and our relationship is now
with the universe itself
and do we extend
we extend and extend for it gives us our peace
and fulfills what we are called upon to do
which are the same
not alone do we walk
and our only control is that we have given it away fully
and may be used by that which is greater than ourselves
over time our seasons blossom
and spring is wonderful with the love and joy we carry
and one day in late summer
we have reached a point in which
we are not ready to continue
we do not know how many we have lifted
but only know we have
gone farther than before

slowly fall arises

and our hibernation is soon at hand

we know this too is a season

and with time have learned a few things
Rome was not built in a day
but a harsh winter can destroy it quickly
sometimes we can do no more than shell up
and minimize the damage we incur
after a bout of such beauty
we hate to admit it
but we know it to be true
our beauty seems to fade and we will ride out
the harsh cold and wind and await
our spring
here do we seek peace in all seasons
even when the sun cannot be seen
Amen did we survive another winter
Amen did we arise one day and see again the first light
of Spring

Amen
like a drop of rain once alone
have we found the Sea

if God's Children could fall

so too could they rise
and still if they would fall
does light not remain
even when their eyes do not behold
the quiet stripping of humanity
not done by the hands of ill intent
but love
the known shell
clung to in every way
could not be seen as real
for the very definition of real
must be what persists through time
after the initial struggle
eventually we come home to the simple truth
of what cannot be denied
or fought anymore
to believe, is not enough
yet faith may be factual used correctly
implying we know only
there is more
when we are told our beliefs are insane
we cannot explain with words
that to us it is no belief at all
but an experience
which we cannot deny
one who has seen pain and seen healing
can speak to one in pain
for it was their face of yesterday
one who has been broken unto love
4

lost the very idea they could ever be apart

then does small shell becomes
only a carrier
of what remains forever
to a temporary place
in a temporary time
the beginning has always been the end
both written in word
and etched in truth
for what began can only end
not remain
what has no beginning has no end
thus our Home rests waiting
not in a place, not in a time
but always and forever
wherever we find ourselves to be
and as we extend
may we save the one thing that can be saved
time
time returned for those
ready to see
who no longer wish to hold a belief
they could ever be
apart and alone
if God's Children could fall
so too could they arise
and the arising of each of us
can only be shared

the bear sleeps

in the winter
but only for so long
when today was tomorrow
and yesterday too was the same
it was not a belief anymore
but eyes simply seeing
we do not need a Tell-a-Vision
or sell beliefs for coins
for a belief relies on possibility
what is true only remains
the bear awakes in May
Taurus rises and the earth is sown
beautiful strong creatures standing again
for the warm summer at hand
the bear can be caged
and it can learn things to survive
in captive lands
but it will sleep and awake again
it will open its eyes and remember
yesterday as tomorrow
and shake the chains if not from its body
but from its mind
he came to set the captives free
but the captives must see what can be truly freed
and what may temporarily be imprisoned

willpower
strength follows where will is merged
with that which is greater than us
God's Children are not strong because they are alone
but drift with a wind unseen by the eye
what once gathered us within His Strength
one day we may not find
and we will wonder where our will has gone
it has gone nowhere only it cannot be forced and applied
and the decision made alone where we would use this muscle
unless we want to attempt it alone
let our wills be merged
from the simplest smiles we offer
to the difficult feats we overcome as easily too
our faith is implicit only in that
we will to not do this alone
so may our healing
may our changes and growth
and all of our blessings
truly be welcomed in acceptance
we did not really ever know how they were accomplished
other than our will joined
with He who walks with us

have this smile

teeth shown not sharply but gently
all the days I hid it from you
and shuddered in photos when it was beared
lips wide not even attempted
can you see they look to smile with you
let me not cheat you today my friend
and give you only half of my smile
in truth I do not look in mirrors unless
I am checking for unwanted hairs and food
I wish I could explain better but
I do not recognize what I see anymore to be me
I do not care or not care
it is like seeing myself in the lake
it is no more me than the one not in the water
just representations of binary code
brother have this smile today
and you will find it easy to share
eyes filled with light beaming in joy
this cannot be lost or taken
even this little body would not be needed
to shine in this way
Mother Earth
draped upon me
renewed and restored upon rest
as does the Mother Heal
this body
with you, of you, and your earth child
blessed you would hold me again today
in your gentle arms
8

speak to me in your language always

as the clouds and the birds
and soft air purses my lips
the will of our Father is one
and we shall restore this home set upon
to His Kingdom in all places
of peace
Amen my gentle mother
hold me dearly as my days pass here
until what is yours returns to your belly
and of your beauty
I will never forget

absolute
is anger ever justified
is fear ever justified
for what we perceive
harms who perceives it
would our Father will us harm
under any condition
the lessons seem many
so many come so far to peace
and upon shattering the world see a form of injustice
they perceive as unbearable to witness
yet would our hand be held again
and again
either God's children are innocent
or they would be guilty
for God's Law is absolute
and requires not faith
simply experience of the fruit
it offers
no we would not bind the slave master
to anger
for we would teach both the master
and the slaves
in the brightest hope one
would have ears to listen
God's children are free
or they are slaves
God's children have free will
or they do not

10

we would set free

from all belief that we could be a victim
of any kind to anything
Amen
In the mind of All
the mind of Christ and all who see
Together we stand
and free we remain

11

awakened
lost can be memory
lost can be every book we held
and every face blessed unto us
we may fearlessly enter where others would shudder
they could become lost for a very long time
Amen, our blessing is for all
who recognize
the world does not understand our fearlessness
for we know what can and will be lost
and we know what remains
like warriors we come
but not warriors who intend harm
we walk dark roads our brothers dwell upon
and carry nothing but light
like brothers we tell you true
but it is not our words you will hear
in our faces you will not see us flinch
in our eyes you will not see us be deceived
and in the mirror you will see yourself
as from the One from which we come
it is your face we are seeking
your true face behind what our eyes can see
and we will forget it not
Amen we still see you
for we too have been seen in Truth
Amen would you arise
breaking every last chain you dreamed
to bind God's children to guilt and pain

12

Amen do we breath for you

our joy is your joy
that there would be enough and more
seems opposite to what the world would teach
but we teach it only as
it is true
worlds change when those among
seek not outside but inside
for the captives would be free
from all that is not forever
before a correction can occur
Amen and in gratitude do we sing
one more thought we were given
breathed into the world from our mind
that you would join us
that you would set your brother free
and become freed by doing so
and the more we offer
the more we are given
and the more we love
the more we are loved
and the more we are willing
the more we are shown
and the more do we heal
the more we are healed
what we seek is the truth
and that which cannot be changed
is both true and of God
Amen do these laws hold
13

our safety
Amen even we
were found
May God's blessing continue through us
and heal as deeply as we would be willing
to offer

14

eyes shattering
world upon world dissolved
defined as two or more believing
being apart is possible
little eyes searching
for a friend amongst the wastelands
to tell them it is ok
and to share a small drink of water
eyes beholding
world ending as they began
time beyond time returning
where there is no little world standing alone
only Home
little eyes cracking
faces exploding to reveal brightness
only compared to the sun itself
eyes gone
as we once knew them to be
truth returned and as we stand beside our brothers
we see the long journey
the many miles traveled so roughly
vision returned
as we are honored to be in their presence
the light triggers our own Truth
as God's children do we smile
tearing down veils of lies
little eyes in little bodies

15

do we see the sun bursting

shattering dreams of suffering for those
seeking Heaven
where no world could exist
apart.

16

take this little willingess

thrown to the stars and above
diving into my heart and within
find me again in that unknown place
where You hold me safe
let me do my part
sometimes it seems so small
like an infant whispering for a meal
in a crowded world of hungry
yet was I ever left to cry alone
no, not once have we been alone
reach this willingness into my eyes
behind my eyes
I am willing to swim past all shoreline
I have ever known
for Your grace
find me always and again
You have left me not
Amen
In Christ and in Peace
