Caricature

Caricature

Caricatures are often used
to expose our unique strong features
Character etched on our faces show
life experiences are oft our teachers

The physical form can often mask
the true character held within
For a caricature of the soul you are
where would an artist begin?

What is your soul’s purpose?
What have you done?
What is the journey
that you have begun?

An artist may be inspired
by why you are here
But it is your unique qualities
that he/she will hold dear

The kindness, the strength
your artist will explore
The patience, determination,
the courage and more

And as he/she uncovers
the character within
the most beautiful etching
she/he’s sure to begin

Focusing on your strong points
the unique combo you are
Painting colours from within you
radiating out like a star

Your colours are your mastery
They are blended with love
Has this artist who has captured you
had a glimpse of you from above?

Your desire, your willingness,
your heart-centred drive
qualities working together
as in a bee hive

This artist who captures you
can see within your wealth
These qualities are treasures
Recognize them yourself

Sometimes a work of art
is recognized much later

Do you realize???

The artist who has painted you
is the Creator

The Anger from Within

The Anger from Within

The anger from within
Has to come out
The anger from within
Do you know what it’s about?

The anger from within
Is frustration contained
The anger from within
Comes from around us – entrained

The anger from within
Is as much yours as is mine
The anger from within
Is about the unjust defined

The anger from within
It has to come out
The anger from within
Is what this is all about

The anger from within
Is seeking a voice
The anger from within
Just what is our choice?

The anger from within
Has not been assessed
The anger from within
Has created this unrest

The anger from within
Has been expressed in our songs
The anger is within
And it’s not where it belongs

The anger from within
Has created great pain
The anger is within
And if blamed it leads to shame

The anger was within
And we have let it out
The anger’s not within
It’s creating fear – no doubt

The anger’s not within
The release has been immense
The anger’s not within
It’s being used now as a defence

Those who are judging us
Are angry instead
Blaming our expression
And feeling anger and dread

What has been created
In this world of ours?
Rules so antiquated
We’re wilting like flowers

We’re seeking to be nourished
And valued with love
If you blame us and shame us
We’ll return to the dust

We were created and born
With love – it is true
Now society is asking
What can we do?

Feel into your hearts
And show us the way
If i were your child
What would you say?

The anger’s been expressed
Not pretty – it’s true
And how you respond
Will affect what’s to ensue

You can blame us
And arraign us
And charge us
With crimes

You can create
A story about our characters
Or write a poem that rhymes

Or you can be honest
And recognize – our anger
Comes from fear

And the antidote to fear
Is its opposite
Change gear

In our experience of duality
The pendulum swings side to side
Fear swings to love
Bring love alive

Love and compassion
Are the answers to all
When life is chaotic
It is time to recall

When did you feel helpless
Holding anger within?
How did you express it
And what response did you win?

What we witness is truly
Just an aspect of ourselves
We hold the answers
They’re there for the one who delves

You who choose to delve deeply, deeply within
Will have the answers from experience
Akashic records hold them

If you cannot remember
Then there are those to help you find
Often the answer is to simply rewind

Rewind, look back
To our history, our lives
What did we learn?
How did we survive?

The anger was within
The opportunity is here
Let the new world begin
It is time to change gear

Much More

Much More

I am much more
than you’ve been willing to see
and you are much more
than you’ve been willing to be

And you are much more
than i’ve been willing to see
and i am much more
than i’ve been willing to be

Let us stop
and be empty
so as
to understand
free will

To be willing?
