From the Heart of the Mother

From the Heart of the Mother

From the heart of the Mother
there sings a tune
It resonates with all
We were cocooned

We were held within
that nurturing place
The liquid womb
of warmth and grace

We were held with love
so we could grow
and the miracle of life
we were soon to know

This life a gift
A cherished time
The arrival celebrated,
honoured – divine

The Mother now
she held us close
with the warmth and protection
of a heavenly host

We dreamt a lot
as we continued to grow
An awareness of surroundings
we started to know

The Mother encouraged us
with smiles and play
Our interaction and bonding
growing each day

Then came the time
Time to ex plore
Curiousity grew
We ex plored more

Mother was there
to watch us play
With wisdom and patience
she taught The Way

The Mother’s love
extended past
any challenge we met
Her help was cast

Then we were blessed
Our freedom grew
Time to seek
and to understand too

She always knows
just where we are
A bond so deep
no concept of “far”

Connected to
this love divine
we are the fruit
on humanity’s vine

ex – “one that formerly held a specified position or place”
plore – “an exhibit in a science museum which the visitor is encouraged to handle or otherwise explore; a hands-on exhibit”
ex plore seems to mean leaving the protection of the Mother’s field to have a hands-on experience of life

Grandmother Tree

Grandmother Tree

Grandmother Tree
I stand alone
In the savannah
The lion’s throne

With roots penetrating
deep in the Earth
A place of the dying
A place of re-birth

Two winged cotyledons
once opened and grew
into my form
of one not two

My purpose always
to stand with strength
Energy flowing
circulating my length

This place, this time
under skies of stars
A quiet abounds
like a pregnant pause

The plains lie sleeping
They know to rest
A change is coming
The New addressed

Interplanetary, interstellar
The cosmic rays
Sharing love and wisdom
as Creation plays

Grandmother Tree
adds the stories she’s seen –
her views on how life
on Earth has been

Wisdom of the aged
Young hopes not faded
Love for all life forms
Creation’s diversity

All in attendance
at the great Universe-ity
Sharing perspectives
Setting the stage from complexity

The silence, the still
then the dawn bird’s distant trill

Grandmother Tree’s
not alone

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
