The Gentlest of Poems

The Gentlest of Poems

with the gentlest of poems
we expose an open heart
softness and awareness
creation at its start

webbing and designing
a beauty that’s inclusive
access offered on all sides
or curves if sides elusive

a spectrum softly radiates
its colours blend and mix
and love in all its aspects
presents like candle wicks

to hold, caress the beauty
to hear its gentle tones
to see with awe and gratitude
the diversity it hones

for there is beauty everywhere
it is for us to know
outside of us as we observe
lets an inside beauty grow

to be part of creation’s beauty
entraining to its call
softly love and beauty sing
connecting to us all

A Bunch of Nobodies

A Bunch of Nobodies

nobody has the right to own land
it is there for us to share
nobody has the right to own water
for it is also for us to share

nobody has the right to the forests
they are there for us to conserve
nobody has the right to another’s life
it is there for us to preserve

nobody has the right to pollute
our waters, our air, our land
and each of us is only a fraction of life
each but a grain of sand

how did it happen this lack of honouring
of the diversity and beauty present?
when did we forget to give thanks and love
to a planet that has been our parent?

when others have less than someone else
nobody has the right to hoard
nobody has the right to waste
and buy excess because they can afford

nobody has the right to throw away
when it is something that can be recycled
nobody has the right to turn away
and ignore what for someone else is vital

how can we return to the days and times
when all was shared and honoured?
or better still dawn a new world that is
peaceful, sustainable, moving onward

nobody can say that they are the best
for each is truly part of the whole
nobody can continue to live in fear
if love and harmony is our goal

nobody can ever suffer again
when they are cared for by another
nobody can ever be separate again
when honoured as sister or brother

let us be aware of just where we are
then cherish this land of plenty
let us live simply  to love and accept
and reach balance by 2020

Tesla

Tesla

time to retreat now
time to reverse
slow down to stillness
still to the core
stop all the motion
’til there’s not any more
and then at that still point
be with it and feel

it is time to reverse
and wind in the reel
letting it out
expanding the field
has led to inventions
and increased the yield

now is the time
to pull back and refine
keeping only the aspects
that support the divine
gentleness, beauty
commodities pure
friendship, kindness
what is the allure?

as the fisherman checks
his line that’s reeled in
check now your relationship
to what’s without and within

pull in that picture
of how each day is spent
watch it, examine it
what has it meant?

simplify, refine
find some joy in the doing
giving credit to the heart-links
in what you’re reviewing

capture the oneness
the true purpose of life
going in, deeply inward
to that universal light

that spark of creation
the melding pot of form
ask now to wear it
as a mantle to be worn

and only by pulling inward
will the vision be born
of the new world creation
you’re as a kernel of corn

ready to absorb
the love and the light
waiting for conditions
to be perfectly right

to sprout and take root
to grow with new life
into a life form
of renewal and might

and imagine a plain
newly planted with corn
each stalk unique
each with potential unborn

ah, the potential
the potential to be
that is the future
to which you will seed
