Blossoms of Eternity

Blossoms of Eternity

mother, father
sister, brother
childhood friend
when their life’s near the end
we are called to be there once again

a time of reflection
happy memories, shared lifetimes
often gaps in our timelines
though always the connection
to the same vine

its the back to our roots time
love exposed, intertwined
strengthened by our common roots
we once again reveal our truths
or simply be together
having grown

let us shed the leaves of our sorrow
they will fuel a fertile morrow
let us celebrate their soul’s journey
honour who they have been and will be
for as their spirit lives on
and can be called upon
to enter as a presence
both sacred and free
their presence a comfort
to you and to me
and an aspect of the we
we have consciously become

a lifetime is thus carried on
to be contained in our song
and for as long as we can sing
what joy it will bring
these blossoms of eternity
blessed, blessed be

To Be About Me

To Be About Me

so many friends, family, true kin
calling, texting, emailing, coming in
paying their tribute
sharing their piece
loving a being
wanting to release
that knot of pain
that yearning to say
your time’s not up
day after day

and what was the reply
of this beautiful being
feeling the emotional impact
of what others were feeling?

with tears in his eyes
overwhelmed by the love
he simply said
“i never wanted it to be about me”

and this is how he has lived
caring first about others
and so loved
loved for who he is
a loving being
being love

The Gift

The Gift

all obstacles removed
sense of time now a focus
a determination to share
how deeply we care

the gift of expression
to speak our love and receive
hearts bearing the truth
that it is love that we be

a heart that can ache
yet burst with joy in remembrance
a journey beautifully shared
now being prepared for transcendence

the heart bonds that we’ve built
will never dissolve
an infinite connection, expansion
as we continue to evolve

gifting the legacy of love
