We Were the Dead

inspired by this poem In Flanders Fields,
written by Major John McCrae, May 1915, WWI

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

We Were the Dead

we were the dead
we’ve returned to be
an expansion of consciousness
we can see

we see the emergence
away from war
a continuous journey
from the pain we bore

blessed are those
who caught the torch
caring for all with love exports

n’er be the conclusion
of the conflict we see
until in our hearts
we totally be

Love

The Gift of Opportunity

The Gift of Opportunity

the gift of opportunity dissolving the mind
an evolutionary turning point for all of mankind
spanning millennia the human mind grew
and then its awareness of what it could do

an awareness of the present as being impermanent
a development of the ability to fine tune discernment
catapulting our beingness into the future
returning with abilities that newness will nurture

now an awareness that the mind can now rest
for we have the ability to know by request
into the field our senses have reached
and the role of the ego has now been impeached

sensory networks are attuned to the heart
and the brain is the centre of coordinating art
the art of creating from perspectives received
the art of movement towards what we can be

ever the posture of Creator’s design
seeking our divinity unto which we align
expanding into the ocean of love
swimming as dolphins amidst what we dream of

the gift of opportunity now comes to the front
our passion, our abilities here to confront
all out of resonance with the tectonic field
Earth our birth mother awaits her current crop’s yield

A New Alignment

A New Alignment

for indeed to move forward will require a change
a new way of doing, a time to rearrange
a quagmire exists if the matrix stays undefined
what systems exist that we may all be aligned?

we have birthed from our passion a field of deliverance
knowing our work can pull the world out of ambivalence
each has a key to the system developing
each has a position in the space that’s enveloping

enveloping the seed that we have just planted
be it later, be it now, room to be expanded
holding the vision of those past and present
listening to those who are here to help augment

recognizing and honouring the skills that each holds
understanding their experience, their thoughts and their goals
doing this all without opposition or judgement
anchoring these skill sets so they can support the equator

the equator constitutes the parallel of latitude zero
where all sit in circle, equated as equal
once aligned from the centre, our expression now enabled
we have the scope for freedom of action and thought

some will bring their wisdom to present to the circle
some will bring their observations to help to define
some will ask questions enlarging the understanding
all will contribute as we develop and plan

let us always connect as one heart in high resonance
let us be grateful for the blessing we have come here to serve
let us experience the birthing of this new way of being
and bring it into action as we grow love each day
