Peacemaker

Peacemaker

call in the peacemaker
readied for peace
call in the warriors
the ones now deceased

call in the children
with future choices to make
call in their mothers
who want peace for their sakes

once the way
to settle old scores
warring and battles
can happen no more

for we know the consequences
of battles now fought
they are senseless power struggles
where the innocent are caught

caught in the battlefields
of those wanting control
those who have distanced
themselves from their soul

we were born to be loved
and to love in return
now is the time to give voice
to what our ancestors did learn

Forever More

Forever More

the light of the day
come what may
consistent and true
the light shines thru

the light is a blessing
warm and caressing
it shows us the way
and offers to stay
forever more

the light shines within
when we let it in
with a glow of perception
and a welcomed reception
an open door

we cherish the glow
as we come to know
this light has the power
when nurtured to flower
into the more

as a candle that burns
love fuels our light and returns
mirrored to perceive
all we receive
as beauty restored

the light of the day
embodied to stay
as an everlasting presence
we become the essence
we soar

with a soul-purposed core
love, light and the more
as never before
we have become
shining as one

the light 

forever

more

Mesmerized

Mesmerized

mesmerized by the power of words
the energy, enchantment held by the sound
the multiple meanings whose intent can be bound
by words as they’re spoken, received, verbed or nouned

precious the vehicle to express who we are
to communicate to others our feelings and share
what we are experiencing, what we want there to be
adjectives are plentiful as we embellish and foresee

our means of expression, gentle or not
greatly enhances the meaning that’s caught
received or replayed, embedded or felt
the words we are using can be also misspelt

and does a misspelling alter the word
most often not for it is how it is heard
releasing the rules, focussing on the sound
we can ultimately play with all that’s outbound

the skill of enhancing the words that we use
is in the passion expressed with the intent to infuse
another or others who are there to receive
our heartfelt emotions and what we believe

there is something missing
when we don’t speak from the heart
for the heart knows the beauty
of the words we impart
