Woken Up

Woken Up

Spider woke me up
Now what was that for?
She was crawling on my arm
I shook her off onto the floor

Sometimes at night
a message waits for me
Spirit now i’m up
what could that message be?

I have lit my candle
and have pen in my hand
Sleepy though i’m feeling
i am at your command

From the darkness of the night,
from that quiet empty place
we are closer to Great Spirit
and to living with Grace

Our minds are free from thoughts
and our hearts are awake
feeling and receiving
for the role we are to take

In our hearts we know ourselves
It’s the mind that blurs the truth
And so at night when the mind’s at rest
heart and spirit provide the proof

Why do we need the proof at all
of the divine beings that we are?
Surely it’s time to wake up whole
letting go of thoughts that bar

Thoughts that bar us from being whole
in body, spirit and mind
so that we may live our daily lives
being loving, compassionate and kind

We can learn to dissolve our thoughts
that haunt us through the day
by confirming if that thought might help
or replacing it with one that may

Asking questions and seeking truth
is but one way to expand
Sometimes we must simply clear our minds
meditate and leave this land

And so now i’ll go back to sleep
and enter dream time again
and when i’m woken up next time
i’ll know where to find my pen

The Night of the Moon

The Night of the Moon

The Moon she rose in the sky from the east
then started to fade as we finished our feast
And in one night she waxed and she waned,
disappeared for awhile and then fullness regained
as if to say we are speeding up now –
see – a lunar month in one night shows how

Was it an eclipse of the Moon…
or was it a message that soon…
we’re to create the new…
and for a while… there’ll be two…
two worlds to live in and then a choice?

Prepare and create now – use your voice
Speak of the visions – sing of your dreams
Believe them and send them out on moon beams
Watch them develop and come into form
It is our new creation that is to be born

We Come in Peace

We Come in Peace

We come in peace
and gently too
our hearts exposed
to meet with you

Why have we come?
It is the time
to release the past
and our love refine

Within us all
we know the truth
We have one Creator
We need no proof

Throughout the world
many bright lights shine
and the Earth’s own axis
is a shivering spine

We’ve reached the point
of no return
a point to share
to listen and learn

Ancestors dear
we honour you so
It’s your love and wisdom
that has let us grow

We come in peace
as our Ancestors desired
We come in peace
the past retired

We come in peace
to see and feel
We come in peace
to share a meal
The abundance of
the meal we share
will feed the multitudes
Let no plate be bare

We’ve seen so much
in our life times here
It is time to release
the hate and fear

Replace depression
and aggression
by living simply
having learnt our lesson

How do we really
want to be?
To simply love
and feel and see?

Suffering will leave
once we reach out
and care and share
all we can spare

Truly now
what do we need?
Water and shelter
and food to feed?

And it’s not only clothing
that keeps us warm
It is connection to Spirit
that brings us form

Connection to Spirit
from which we were born

Connecting to Great Spirit
and Mother Earth’s and our own
Visioning a future
where no one’s alone

Living in harmony
with nature and all
Living with gratitude
for the small and the tall

Coming together
with Love in each heart
Balancing the way
we end and we start

Let us end this time in Peace
and start the new
with Peace too

And if we fly like Eagles above
we will see:
Peace is a result of Love
