And as Parents We Are

And as Parents We Are

once we became
and as parents we are
carrying the torch
of generations before

positioned to love
and to grow the love too
into our children
and into the new

the challenge is to let go
of the past and what’s done
for we must focus on the present
and what we want to become

the gifts of our parents
and those of before
we cherish and nurture
as we seed even more

fertile times
here for the planting
for our children, grandchildren
our awareness is demanding 

our responsiveness to
the opportunities gifted
here to serve them
and why we enlisted
to be parents
of parents

and as parents we are

Peacemaker

Peacemaker

call in the peacemaker
readied for peace
call in the warriors
the ones now deceased

call in the children
with future choices to make
call in their mothers
who want peace for their sakes

once the way
to settle old scores
warring and battles
can happen no more

for we know the consequences
of battles now fought
they are senseless power struggles
where the innocent are caught

caught in the battlefields
of those wanting control
those who have distanced
themselves from their soul

we were born to be loved
and to love in return
now is the time to give voice
to what our ancestors did learn

Growing the Oneness

Growing the Oneness

surfing the flat wave
the stillness reflecting the calm
cybernauts converging
with others singing a psalm

the emptiness is calling
that we may meet as one
shedding our personal stories
for a newness to become

feeling the freedom of releasing
all held in judgement, thought provoked
the lightness of new beginnings
as a common passion is evoked

messengers are the children
seeking the love and the peace
cherished for their innocence
they lead, they need not speak

halting in our journeys
we’re drawn to that singular spot
where oneness is so inclusive
all are tied in an infinite knot

in the comfort of being held thus
being present at the birth of the new
creative powers are invoked for us
the dawn from a oneness that grew
