Absorbed

Blind my eyes with your delight,
make me warm,
fill me with light.

Bright essence shine around me,
hug me tight,
guide me to see.

Add your spirit to my soul,
steer the wheel,
take full control.

Illuminate every path,
leave all dark,
far in the past.

Wipe the tears that swiftly flow,
hold my hand
and help me grow.

Kiss me softly on my head,
expand love,
so it can spread.

Carry hopes up to the sky
mend my wings
teach me to fly

Sprinkle peace from up above
bless this world
with divine love

Light Sprout

Today I plant
a seed that grows,
magical grant
infinite flow.

Reap what I sow,
lucky tomorrow.
The breeze will blow
the path I follow.

The sprouted seed
transforms to light,
creates good deeds
provides insight.

A little spark
expanding grace,
that clears the dark
shines bright through space.

Comforting touch
caressed with love.
Emotions clutch,
protective glove.

All sins exhaled,
take off the veil.
Pure joy inhaled,
enjoy the sail.

Bully

Slippery words,
drop off thick skin,
fall off like rain
while showing your sins.

Attacking words,
provoking wars,
invoke my laugh,
crumble once ignored.

Exposing words
reveals your soul.
Keep my head high
exercise self-control.

Menacing words,
keep you so stuck,
wishing ill will,
gives you the worst luck.

Deceptive words,
hiding your face.
I look away,
my life fills with grace.

Entangled words
ties you in knots,
setting me free,
I fly to my spot.

Endlessly

Infinite time,
does not slow
Once delivered,
never goes.
Elevate from
head to toe.
All regrets are
left below.

Sadness falls like
misty snow.
Build a boat
then start to row,
make it strong
enough to tow,
others stuck,
circled by crows.

Infinite times,
comes and flows,
as the breeze,
puckers and blows.
Wisdom does not
always know
how to expand
every glow.

Endless power
always grows,
center stage,
for many shows.
Always reaping
what you sow,
energies form
high plateaus.

Balance

A father could not be,
if not for a mother.
Siblings are all sisters,
if excluding their brothers.

Darkness will last all day
without bits of sunlight.
Night skies hold moon and stars,
as they twinkle and shine bright.

If all rain was erased,
the green fields would run dry,
fruitless deserts that ache,
hearing loud storm clouds cry.

Anger versus hate,
equally seen as crimes.
Pure love is left to fate,
carrying infinite ties.

Life will always exceed
what wisdom discovers,
one can hardly exist
without help from the other.

Shine

Seven rays,
rule my world.
Intertwine,
as they twirl.

Purple hues,
not confused,
always knows
and it shows.

Confused pink,
sneaky winks,
so unsure,
silent lure.

Working blue,
finds the clues,
to promote,
others hopes.

Yellow cares,
always there,
love and light,
shinning bright.

Orange goals,
gains control.
Motivates
never waits.

Passion red,
gets ahead,
moving fast,
with a blast.

Vibrant green,
quite serene.
Create tunes
and communes.

Seven rays,
shadow gray,
balance beam,
calmest stream.

Black and white,
day and night,
co-exist
and assist.

Beyond

Where stillness lays, how do I move?
You slowly slither till you improve
In silence, am I really small?
Quite the contrary, you’re alive with all

Every step becomes your road map
Are labels just my little mind’s trap?
A force inside pushes my crawl
What if this road leads to a fall?

If I lose fear then can I stand?
Taking a chance helps strength expand
Does courage come, or is it a chase?
It’s a paradox divinely guided by grace

I breathe and rise with every day
But in this journey, have I lost my sway?
So many questions hold me back
Will destiny keep me on track?

Do guided steps lead to a run?
Lessons you learn all mean you won
Was I born where this Universe begun?
As the stars whisper through the shine of my sun

In a place, through a life, and within my soul
Is this a journey of finding home, while becoming whole?
An infinite light brightens my obstacle course
If I look within will I find this light source?

I am

Am I?
A careless tossed ember creating a fire?
A sea of scared trees paralyzed by the flames?
A gush of wind escalating dark desires?
Stormy rain showers driving away the blaze?

Am I?
The fluffiest of clouds, pillow fighting up high?
A rainy day with gleaming beams of pure light?
The brightest of rainbows exposed in the sky?
A big smile of hope shining in saddened eyes?

Am I?
The pretty, the ugly, the good, and the bad?
Every truth that you owned but never quite had?
Emotional bags that were heavy and sad?
Warm gifts of love that makes every soul feel glad?

Am I?
The voice that you hear telling you what is right?
A soothing blanket catching your fears at night?
A clear guide transforming dark thoughts into bright?
The one always there supplying deep insight?

Am I?
A shiny star winking, twinkling well displayed?
The moonlight that causes all darkness to sway?
Sunlight that brightens all your upcoming days?
True self carried in you and leading your way.

Accept

Accustomed to
receiving
“yes”,
yet “no”
can at times
bring success,
If angered
while hearing
a “no”
recall that “yes”
gives
false control.

Sensed false control
can feel
so true,
yet true effects
can not
be viewed.
No one is certain
of results,
some disillusions,
bring exults.

Do not dismay
if what
you thought,
is not the same
as what
you bought.
Appreciate,
when views
are shown,
lessons are gifts,
from the
unknown.
