rising women, let it be known
out of their cages
into freedom they’ve flown
capture the essence of all they have been
recorded, experienced, all that they’ve seen
with strength and resolve to change the old ways
they’re gathering, sharing and counting the days
the days and the hours that it will take now to spread
from woman to woman, across the ground that we tread
from sister to sister, crossing oceans and plains
what are they sharing? what are the gains?
thru silence and stillness, often witnesses they’ve been
now they’re emerging, no longer unseen
they ready to hold hands creating a web
and we will all listen to what will be said
they know that the suffering, the suffering has grown
from controls, dominance, imbalances we’ve known
so to step into the light and see, be the change
will take every woman who’s no longer estranged
estranged from the future, the future that can be
where her children, grandchildren can truly be free
where life on this planet is honoured and kept
free from pollution and balance is reset
where the sharing of goods becomes local again
and healthcare and education are easy to attain
where beauty is enhanced on every inch of the Earth
where there is a total renewal, a total rebirth
women are rising for they always birth the new
and from heart to heart they are calling to you
gather the wisdom, the love that you’ve known
for those are the seeds that are about to be sown

Tesla

Tesla

time to retreat now
time to reverse
slow down to stillness
still to the core
stop all the motion
’til there’s not any more
and then at that still point
be with it and feel

it is time to reverse
and wind in the reel
letting it out
expanding the field
has led to inventions
and increased the yield

now is the time
to pull back and refine
keeping only the aspects
that support the divine
gentleness, beauty
commodities pure
friendship, kindness
what is the allure?

as the fisherman checks
his line that’s reeled in
check now your relationship
to what’s without and within

pull in that picture
of how each day is spent
watch it, examine it
what has it meant?

simplify, refine
find some joy in the doing
giving credit to the heart-links
in what you’re reviewing

capture the oneness
the true purpose of life
going in, deeply inward
to that universal light

that spark of creation
the melding pot of form
ask now to wear it
as a mantle to be worn

and only by pulling inward
will the vision be born
of the new world creation
you’re as a kernel of corn

ready to absorb
the love and the light
waiting for conditions
to be perfectly right

to sprout and take root
to grow with new life
into a life form
of renewal and might

and imagine a plain
newly planted with corn
each stalk unique
each with potential unborn

ah, the potential
the potential to be
that is the future
to which you will seed

The Turmoil Within

The Turmoil Within

the turmoil within
it feels like a knot
so loosen, release
before we are caught

simply release
don’t question and stew
for what we are holding
has nothing to do

empty it out
breathe a line to release
let the light flow
’til the turmoil doth cease

quiet the mind
smile with the heart
fill up with the love
you are going to impart

no more remembrance
of anger or pain
replaced with a blossoming
of all we can gain

see with new eyes
the beauty within
expand to include
and together begin
