Mesmerized

Mesmerized

mesmerized by the power of words
the energy, enchantment held by the sound
the multiple meanings whose intent can be bound
by words as they’re spoken, received, verbed or nouned

precious the vehicle to express who we are
to communicate to others our feelings and share
what we are experiencing, what we want there to be
adjectives are plentiful as we embellish and foresee

our means of expression, gentle or not
greatly enhances the meaning that’s caught
received or replayed, embedded or felt
the words we are using can be also misspelt

and does a misspelling alter the word
most often not for it is how it is heard
releasing the rules, focussing on the sound
we can ultimately play with all that’s outbound

the skill of enhancing the words that we use
is in the passion expressed with the intent to infuse
another or others who are there to receive
our heartfelt emotions and what we believe

there is something missing
when we don’t speak from the heart
for the heart knows the beauty
of the words we impart

The Role of the Whistle Blower

The Role of the Whistle Blower

in this time of self expression
we see now a new progression
from what was self disclosure
into out of integrity’s exposure

to be a whistle blower
one assumes many risks
and a passion to right the wrongs
can emerge with many twists

for what we observe
may be hidden in the curve
as time goes spiralling on

the detailed memories may be lost
but what remains is the cost
of wrong doings harming another

the whistle blower is a witness
witnessing the grievances, a pattern
with a desire to stop a destructive flow
all can be lit up with love’s powerful lantern

a love for life, for humanity
a retrieval from past insanity
purposefully exposed to the collective
so solutions can be brought to the elective

and a voice of reason and compassion
can speak to the whistle blower’s cash-in
transformation and healing is evoked
when the fire for change has been stoked

Scarring of the Soul

Scarring of the Soul

the deepest, deepest trauma
can cause a scarring of the soul
and the effect upon a lifetime
can really take its toll

for trauma oft has a consequence
loss of trust and fear of doing
it can paralyze, demoralize
and has the danger of accruing

such trauma can be passed
from generation to generation
stored at a cellular level
from our DNA’s creation

we do not need to wait
for the soul’s interlude time
we can clear this trauma
thru intention and design

an intention to love the wounded
and to take responsibility as well
to ask for forgiveness
and be grateful, remaining faithful

faithful to the lesson learned
so as to never harm another
then to show our love is limitless
so the trauma is uncovered

uncovered, released to
the embers of the past
allowed to softly fade away
with no more heat to draw us back

we must never ignore or diminish
the telling of one’s anguish
for upon hearing of the suffering
we can respond with love’s own language

we are in this journey together
sharing the joys and the sorrows
we have such great opportunities
to co-create our treasured
treasured tomorrows
