Laugh at Thyself

Laugh at Thyself
laugh at thyself
there is humour in this
a quiet is disturbed
by the imaginative self
such a story-teller
making the script grow and grow
it takes a firm hand
to simply say NO
or is there a benefit in pretending
pretending we know the happy ending?
setting the stage in the life we know
we create as we flow
the choices are ours
paint the picture and jump in
the setting is familiar
action stage here
begin!

Abundance

Abundance 
abundance
so many words
an abundance of words
given to define
abundance
in our experience of abundance
so much can be taken for granted
the air we breath
the food we eat
the water we drink
the good health we enjoy
the beauty that surrounds us
the safety of our homes and communities
the remuneration we receive in exchange for our work
the presence of family and friends
let us be thankful
in the material sense of abundance
all that we own
all we have saved,  stored
all the gifts that we could give
all we do not use
how much is too much?
what can be shared or gifted
in the spirit of oneness?
in the personal sense of abundance
all that we are
all we have experienced
all we have learned
all the skills we have honed
what can be shared?
what can be offered?
in the spirit of oneness
is it not abundantly clear
we hold the answers
to eliminating suffering
to eliminating poverty
to eliminating loneliness
to helping each other
in the spirit of oneness
with the understanding
simply
i am another you
let us bring balance
into the lives of all
by sharing our abundance

Truth or Pretend

Truth or Pretend
so i am going to ask you my friend
because love cannot end
what is our reality?
living our truth or some pretend?
when one feels overwhelmed or nervous
what signals do these send
something has changed
it is hard to comprehend
when allowing another’s journey
we stand by with love and hope
we can offer a hand to lend
but it is not our place to mend
as we feel into our hearts
and knowing the old now must depart
now that we are free
who is it we choose to be?
