Motherhood

Motherhood
liquid gold
liquid water
the flow of love
to her son or daughter
a mother’s transmission
of all her dreams and her wants
a cellular gift of love awaiting
for her children’s response
the gift of a life
into the new
preceded by love
and a prayer too

Jelly Beans

Jelly Beans
a bowl is passed
full of colourful jelly beans
take a moment to consider
what is held in this bowl
can we resist
the temptation to take one
with it’s sugary coat
hiding what is within?
play with this concept
maybe honour the child
the child of past times
then ask does this bowl
hold what we are seeking
and give it a pass if it doesn’t align

Permission to Do Nothing

Permission to Do Nothing
a child once said “i’m bored!”
a complaint and i played with him
oh, you are so lucky!
how wonderful!
nothing to do!
wow! i wonder what that feels like!
with a curiousity
and yes a remembrance
feeling into how we can achieve
that pure sense of nothingness
do we have to have permission?
do we need permission to simply stop
to let go of our patterns, our routines?
can we find that quiet place, that solitude
and simply be, free from thought
and responsibility?
to quiet the mind
we find tranquility
to stop the doing
we find peace
in the space of nothingness
we return
we return to the womb
of creation
