You Built a Wall
You built a wall
Was it brick or stone?
It concealed your beingness
You were all alone
I want to reach you
but i don’t know how…
Simply be LOVE
and then allow

Marble in the Sand
Marble in the Sand
sparkling marble embedded in the sand
a remnant perhaps from the sculptors of this land
holding the essence of centuries before
washed up from the treasure chest on Poseidon’s floor
a finger, a thumb nail – what could it have been?
smoothed now thru the ages from the storms of the Aegean
polished, a fragment of a creation long ago
crafted by a sculptor who wanted us to know
the essence of one’s beauty is not in our form
it is carried in the entirety of the potential with which we’re born
we’re masterpieces sculpted by the One who holds the key
to give us movement and feeling for who we want to be

Peacock
Peacock
Peacock became a symbol
of splendour and strength
that spread throughout the world
thru its width and its length
a gift of the gods
representing them too
a colourful portrayal
for what they can do
let us explore deeply
how this image evolved
why was it chosen?
what puzzle was solved?
birds are often the symbol
of power and rarity
eagle, swan, hummingbird
also symbols without parity
yet the splendour and colour
of the peacock’s display
and feathers with eyes
what does it say?
so unique and so special
and cherished this bird
it travelled from India
to places unheard
and yet silent and unrecognized
there is one who is more
it is the peahen who delivers
the young to each door
it was not just the peacock
who was traded and kept
it was his mate, plain clothed,
disguised and adept
adept at giving birth
birth to the new
generations, inspirations
to more than a few
so let us not be fooled
by the colourful displays
what would happen now
if we appreciated the plain
the gentle, the quiet
often given no name
who nurtures and carries on
without fanfare or fame
heralding the rebirth?
yes, recognize we came
from the Mother whose love
cherishes all as the same
