To the Children Beyond

To the Children Beyond

To the children beyond
I give you freedom
To the children beyond
I give you love

To the children beyond
I give you joyful living
To the children beyond
I present the dove

To the children beyond
I gift you gentleness
To the children beyond
I give you sight

To the children beyond
I pass my wisdom
To the children beyond
I give you life

And what is life
But a map without any places
A map that you yourselves will draw
As you explore

And Mother Earth is the map
That you will draw upon
And it is a map that will be shared
With others too

To draw a line from here to there
There is one rule
And as your elder, i can teach you
It is my school

To draw a line upon the map
You must have travelled it
And carried with you and kept intact
A heart of love

This line of love
Will intersect with others drawing
And soon the lines so carefully placed
Will weave the New

And the journeys of those before –
Your loving ancestors’
Have left faint lines to guide you
As you explore

And we are here
To support and share our wisdom
And you are there
To co-create and dream the New

Blessed be the children
Of the new creation
Blessed be the vision quest
Of those unborn

Blessed be my loved ones
Who now can journey
And draw their maps
From the fabric of their hearts

A gift to you
A feather pen
It is your mother’s

I gift to you
My love and joy
It is your ink

We gift to you
The courage now to move onway
We gift to you
The wisdom garnered to make a choice

Carry love in every step
As you move forward
The future’s yours, you have the gifts
And we rejoice

Blessed be our dear children
Of the present
Blessed be
Our dear children of beyond

Always, yes always
You will carry
The strength connecting us
It is
OUR LOVE BOND

Time is Collapsing

Time is Collapsing

Time is collapsing
Are you ready for this?
The pendulum is slowing
Soon a stillness will exist

A stillness within
A stillness without
For only through stillness
will you know what it’s about

Imagine and go there –
a place without time
How does one navigate
without the clock’s chime?

No more pressure
of having to go
No more feeling
of when things seem slow

Silence and stillness
What will come in?
What have we been missing
immersed in this din?

What new senses
and abilities will grow?
What new communication
will allow us to know?

What kind of awareness
will we soon possess?
What kind of situations
will we address?

A child’s first sentence
Was “what is IS!”
Can it be just that simple
as this sentence of his?

If time stops existing
and boundaries dissolve
past, present and future
as one will revolve

To be able to see
and experience all –
what choices will we make
as we continue to evolve?

To see where we’ve been
and the potentials to be –
won’t our way of being
be simple and free?

No more “what ifs?”
No more “did they do that?”
No more fear of trying
No more asking where we’re at

No beginning, no end –
a timeless expanse
We will all be connected
in this full consciousness dance

Imagine, yes imagine
how quickly we’ll change
when all that we’ve dreamed of
is right there in range

Like puzzle pieces floating
we’ll take and we’ll place
and connect them together
creating with grace

Beautiful, how beautiful
as a new world emerges –
our love and our gratitude
will pulse out in surges

And then we’ll make sense
of having lived in this chaos –
living then in harmony
released from our dross

And will we exist
just on Earth in this timelessness
or will we find doorways
to more dimensions, expansiveness?

The questions, the questions
can be used to explore,
to meditate and practice
going through that next door

From Journeys Before

From Journeys Before
 
I can see into you, into you, into you
And i’m here to help you, to help you, to help you
But you do not know it, don’t know it, don’t know it
And so i must wait, be patient, must wait

For it is your journey, your journey, your journey
And you must make choices, your choices, your choices
And i’m here to love you, to love you, to love you
And that i can do, i do, love you

Please know you can ask me, can ask me, can ask me
For i’m here to help you, to help you, to help you
But you must ask the question, the question, the question
Then i can share wisdom, the wisdom, our wisdom
From journeys before
