Squeeze It
pick up a sponge and squeeze it
something’s released with the new grip
a tension then ease
a softness then freeze
a muscle memory made
only to fade
once more
as before

Woken Up
Woken Up
Spider woke me up
Now what was that for?
She was crawling on my arm
I shook her off onto the floor
Sometimes at night
a message waits for me
Spirit now i’m up
what could that message be?
I have lit my candle
and have pen in my hand
Sleepy though i’m feeling
i am at your command
From the darkness of the night,
from that quiet empty place
we are closer to Great Spirit
and to living with Grace
Our minds are free from thoughts
and our hearts are awake
feeling and receiving
for the role we are to take
In our hearts we know ourselves
It’s the mind that blurs the truth
And so at night when the mind’s at rest
heart and spirit provide the proof
Why do we need the proof at all
of the divine beings that we are?
Surely it’s time to wake up whole
letting go of thoughts that bar
Thoughts that bar us from being whole
in body, spirit and mind
so that we may live our daily lives
being loving, compassionate and kind
We can learn to dissolve our thoughts
that haunt us through the day
by confirming if that thought might help
or replacing it with one that may
Asking questions and seeking truth
is but one way to expand
Sometimes we must simply clear our minds
meditate and leave this land
And so now i’ll go back to sleep
and enter dream time again
and when i’m woken up next time
i’ll know where to find my pen

The Enemy Now
The Enemy Now
The enemy now
is only what we think
Wake up and see
for we are on the brink
The brink of discovering
just who we are
and it’s the key to recovering
and remembering the Mar
Our thoughts become
our reality
so we are responsible
for their totality
If our reality is
just what we thought –
the world that we live in
is what that thought bought
Yes – what OUR thought bought
Go to the silence
and stillness – just be
Empty our thoughts
Just be – be free
Knowing how to meditate
is crucial right now
There are many available
to show us how
Meditate
Don’t equate
Meditate
Thoughts are freight
Meditate
And wait
Meditate
Clear the mind
Meditate
And you will find
The Way
The way to our new world
is becoming quite clear
but our entrance is blocked
by that emotion called fear
We cannot move forward
as long as fear exists
Let us work hand in hand
and not with our fists
As the pendulum swings
from side to side
fear swings to love –
don’t let love hide
Do not assume that
we know another’s thought
It’s that very assumption
that creates what we’ve bought
See what we love
or see what we fear
Changing our focus
brings what we want near
Sleep on this now
It’s a lot to digest
We’ll be ready to work on it
after some rest….
