Shadow Tank

Shadow Tank

lost in our midst
forever forlorn
emerges the residue
even there when we’re born

part of our journey
from one lifetime to the next
the unfinished pieces
release, be refreshed

a practice is helpful
an awareness to heed
our emotions will signal
what to question and believe

to be freed from the past
from what we did not understand
we live our true wholeness
peaceful and loving
we are in command

in command of our future
caring for one and for all
life is so precious
let us answer the call

Focus on the Eyes

focus on the eyes
masking out the mouth
what expressions do we see?
what communications do we read?

sympathy and laughter
anger, sometimes hurt
puzzlement and wonder
tiredness and mirth

love and so much joy
gratitude and peace
every emotion
to hold onto or release

quiet long connections
or abrupt responses that can’t be hidden
the language of the eyes
can even have us do what we’ve been bidden

perhaps we do not need to speak
as we can communicate with our eyes
the total honesty of expressed emotions
does not need to be disguised

The Presence

tune into the Presence
abide with it now
learn to honour and live it
we are being shown how

divinity is a word
that is foreign to most
yet that is our origin
from our heavenly host

spacial awareness
is redefined right now
it is that space within us
and what it will endow

as we delve within
and the Presence is felt
an illumination emerges
and the past will soon melt

to live in the Presence
to be a being of light
to become our true wholeness
is of love and of might
