Sometimes We are Called

Sometimes We are Called

sometimes we are called
and we know when to accept
it’s not really a choice
we’ve been prepared and are adept

in part it is a mystery
perhaps excitement too
yet the calling is for service
what we all came here to do

was this all pre-planned
out of space and out of time
was this new challenge a gift
that came all silver-lined?

what qualities do we bring
to that place we’ve been called to?
what role is waiting there
for us to expand into and do?

abound with blessings
as we gathered to leave
heeding the call
for the new to inter-weave

Honour the Way

Honour the Way

honour the way
we bring the present
back from the future

know we can travel
to the future and back
entering in dreamtime
when the tide is slack

dreaming of the future
a place to behold
full of wondrous beauty
in visions so bold

capturing the visions
bringing them back
carried with care
so they are intact

holding them, cherishing them
when they’re unwrapped
laying out the entirety
that was contained in our packs

seeing the future
is where to begin
feeling its details
with all senses tuned in

now that we’ve witnessed it
we’ll know where to start
as we bring about the changes
the old world will depart

The Apprentice

The Apprentice

why don’t i like the word apprentice?
it feels too controlling
what about free will?
what about integration or discussion?
do we not learn from each other?

are not all our teachers?
is it not a time for emptiness and re-birth?
who can be the teacher or master now?
is obedience required or simply a desire to serve?
and who/what are we serving?

let us be free
to reflect and respond
let it be freedom
and love as our bond

let us share perspectives
presented not taught
let us weigh and examine them
and feel what is sought

and then all together
we can come to decisions
changing this world
making revisions
creating the new
for all, no omissions

to be and be love
the art of becoming
immersed in the sounds
of the humming and drumming
expanding beyond
what we have ever known
feeling the lift and the freedom
of a dove that has flown
