A Pattern Emerges
chaos surrounds us, engulfing the whole
pulled to our still point, the hub of our soul
quietly waiting, observing the swirls
patiently knowing there’s a pattern that twirls
reading the patterns is the observer’s task
changes in direction can so often mask
the overall emergence of a newness created
hearts conducting what our thoughts orchestrated

A Mountain to Climb
we stand around the periphery
of a mountain to climb
there are many pathways to get there
we don’t have to stand in line
there feels a sense of urgency
to climb to the peak
a desire, a pull, a knowingness
a common goal that we seek
we view this mountain differently
a perspective from where we stand
the path we choose to climb it
depends on the lay of the land
we’ve come prepared with all we need
to climb up to the peak
we know it’s there, shrouded in myst
the very thing we seek
even if we cannot see it
we know we must climb up
and any obstacles along the way
will be overcome
by giving others a hand up
encouraged by the distance climbed
we’ll sense when we’re almost there
and once we’re there it will be clear to see
the view we sought is who we be
a view held inside for us to bare
and from this place, this we share
our expansive view
our inner peace
a love that encompasses all
a recognition we’re all the same
in seeking to answer this sacred call

If Only
if we could only see all turned inside out
if we could only be there before thinking to arrive
if ever there was a moment, to appreciate each moment given
if we were but thankful to be here and to be alive
if colours could be tasted and all shapes had a sound
if communication was an instant out and then inbound
if sleep at night was a conscious back-up and a redesign
if our common purpose was to love and to be aligned
if we could only understand that ifs are but a wish
if we could change the way we speak into fractal present tense
we’d then be accepting that all our thoughts and our every sense
are creating our reality and we’d be the present meant
