A Fallen Eagle

A Fallen Eagle

a fallen eagle
is there such a thing?
an eagle soars
with just a beat of the wing

and an eagle sits
high in a tree
with distant vision
she is able to see

what has she seen
that caused such fear?
what torn her heart?
what was so near?

a heart that beat
just like her wings
connected to
her voice that sings

the eagle fell
out of her tree
and now she’s lost
where can she be?

she’s found a realm
that is safe to be
a place where she
is loved and free

free to dream
pretend and play
there is company there
all night and day

that inner world
is ours to discover
a child’s world
without father or mother

if she invites you there
you are sure to uncover
the secret to love
is to love one another

when she knows you know
she will find the way
to spread her wings
take flight and say
we are love, let’s play

and away you’ll soar
two birds of pray
to bring your love
to others this way

On a Sleepless Night

On a Sleepless Night

on a sleepless night
it is time to pause
why was i restless?
what was the cause?

infomercials delete
in the brain they compete
sanctify the edges
compassionate hedges

peace only peace
quiet and stillness
the very words calm
a soothing mind balm

somewhere there’s a tug
it has disturbed this whole night
what it represents
is a mysterious blight

stillness and quiet
and a question that’s asked
for help in the clearing
who’s up for the task?

present so present
the night will unfold
and a gift will be waiting
when it’s ready to be told

Calling in the Masters

Calling in the Masters

i was calling in the Masters
to join in meditation time
and who should turn up present
unexpected and in his prime

because his name was Masters
he felt he qualified
now he is present in good company
with other Masters who replied

his presence was of merriment
with an underlying serious tone
not sure why he is present
is there a message we can hone?

you got to know Asclepius
you saw him for yourself
it is time to know another now
who will give you gifts of health

Sekhmet met you at our residence
a now ancient place and shrine
her presence is uncomplicated
and one would say sublime

her strength is calling to you
she commands attention now
she asks you to accept a task
and she will show you how

the morning sun is rising
calling forth this dawn of day
Sekhmet the lioness sun god
begins to stalk her prey

she hungers for the lofty
the creatures who do not pray
for peace and joy and kindness
as they begin and end a day

instead controlling others
they create hardship so they can stay
living lives of luxury and
letting others pay

Sekhmet wants to teach you
i accept, and i’m willing to stay
a student of this healer
to change our world as it is today

your task will not be easy
yet you can enjoy it as if at play
for the seriousness must be offset
by being in a playful way

your instructions will come at waking
tune in then begin each day
and share this little story
with my Jeannie, yes you may
