The Dark Night of Humanity’s Soul

The Dark Night of Humanity’s Soul

this needs to be written
this needs to be spoken
to survive and to thrive
this spell must be broken

into a world of balance and beauty
came an injection of intelligence
into the human species

there was no game plan
there were no rules
would we evolve into our full potential
or would we act like fools?

written language, art and music evolved
transportation, agricultural issues were solved
beautification of selves, of homes and surrounds
became such a focus it knew no bounds

was that the issue?
was this our mistake?
through competition and greed
did we our neighbours forsake?

have we cared for the animals
and for those who have naught?
how do we find the love and the beauty
that for lifetimes we’ve sought?

this is our opportunity to flow
from the dark night of the soul
flow to the light that we too may glow
with love and in service and to others bestow
a share of our abundance that we might together grow
bringing balance and simplicity into how we choose to live
letting go of the past and knowing how to forgive

forgiven are others and forgiven are ourselves
what glorious futures this vision foretells
pray listen
pray care
let us be aware
and choose to change
as we awaken into a new day

Sorrow Extended

Sorrow Extended

when we feel it in the heart
a sadness, a sense of loss
and the body responds
weighted with the dross

what is it we’re feeling
vibrations? emotions?
past life connections
or imaginative devotions?

can we release this
thru action, with music?
meditative pondering
or assistance called in?

who/what is the source?
what is the issue?
do we own this encumbrance
or does it simply exist?

to quiet the mind we can
engage in acts of kindness
get out in nature
listen to silence

let it go
let it go
then steep in the emptiness
for to slowly allow
a fresh start will be born

The Law of Independence

The Law of Independence

the hummingbird flies
lightly and free
in all directions
independently

don’t ask her to carry
a load that’s not hers
or be attached to by another
for a grounding then occurs

hummingbird’s freedom
requires one thing
simply
to resist any interference
that may hinder her ability to play

The Law of Independence 

freedom = maintaining independence w/o interference
