Stripped down and naked
No layers for concealing
No snuggly jumper to cosy our feelings
No fleecy socks hiding our hard-skinned ideas
Nor tilted brimmed hats to shadow our tears
No more flower-printed skirting around the truths hemline
My stretch-marked mind pregnant with new ideas I’m aware…

Don’t play it simple, don’t play it safe!
Talk with conviction and mean what you say,
Make this your moment and seize this day!

Who Will Grieve For Me
When I die
its only the flesh
that says goodbye,
my Soul
doth continue
another body

Who Will Grieve For Me
When I pass
remember the Soul
has no relative atomic mass
no definable magnetic pole

Will Fear Break You or Make You?
Set your standards, set them high,
Grow some wings and learn to fly.
Challenge yourself to become the best,
Prepare oneself for the ultimate test.
Set yourself up and give it your all,
Don’t allow doubters to make you fall.

Receive
Hold on, keep breathing
Don't let your fears take control
Good things can happen
You just need to know
Remember, this is not
How things will always be
This feeling can't last
Only Love is real
Feel that love and…
Child of the World
you are sometimes hungry
sometimes rich
sometimes your life is beautiful
sometimes it’s a bitch
you are the self
in search of itself
you are the one who helps
and needs help
you are the way
growing inside of me everyday…

Your Own Story
These fleeting words will flower
Moss in her hair sea on her shoulder
Fragments of dream keep me well
Walking across great distances
Feet of restless drums
Necklaces clatter fingers scatter

Dream Running Heights
Let me speak plainly by the hearth
Unlocking the holy heart beats
Inside journey of life together
Leave if I’m not the fire you need
I want the wind to always be my friend
I understand its work does not consider me
Except…
The Names We Call Home
I burned through the day
Knowing the night would devour me
I motioned the moon to come closer
Filled the drum with my mind
Nothing played but stillness
Clever and round
Waiting for me to pay
Beyond white sound

Inspiration Never Leaves Us Where It Finds Us
Tenderness and listening
are essential
for the creative act to occur.
This is what i believe-
Tortured souls
pass through our lives ;
and they can drag us down
if we are not aware
or alert.
We all get caught up in events
and…
Long Drum of the Moon
Tassels from the long drum of the moon in windows of clay silence
I can make dreams feel themselves stay awake
Receive black stones to weigh me down into the past
Here now in this space between I polish them with buried tears…
To Believe

even when it is a daunting task
that is the key.

Faith is the evidence of things hoped for
Grace can save you

eternity touches this moment
with tiny fingers
nothing but kindness
lasts
the day is far spent
but it is not over
hope rearranges time
into the width of the now
The now opens wide…
