WRITING.
Here you will find a plethora of writing in the form of poems, musings, proverbs, or stories that I have penned down over the years.
Writing has an important role in my life, and I think of it as a powerful tool for creative expression, healing & communication.
Pen-man-ship
… And when this great play of Life
… comes to what we might call ‘An End’
We are left naked, exposed,
and we enjoy the innocence
The raw, undisturbed feeling
of the frailty of Life
our clothes evaporate
our speech dissolves
and it is only anguish, transformed
into a deep cherishing of Life
and its moments:
To Love, to love earnestly,
completely, and fully,
in all of Life’s moments
To hear the whisper of eternity
but to know, this moment is a gift
That glance into the Universe of
another’s eyes.
The intimacy of that moment.
Pure potential. Pure creativity.
A glance and the moment is gone.
Gone, but never lost. Stored, forever,
in the chamber of hearts.

I descend
to the root
the humble home
of the
Earth DwellerI rise
to the heart
the wide abode
of the
spiritual personageI soar
to the heavens
of the crown
the magnificent seat

True blessings exist now.
It is now that they exist.
A blessing, a blessing, a blessing.
Now, it exists.There is no time but now
it is only now that exists
the tenet, the tenet, the tenet
only now does it exist -
There is something
within
deep withinIt has been stirring
for agesstirring, stirring
it speaks an
ancient tongue
it knows youit began before

the depths

Speak the unspoken
words

your destiny

to infinity and
beyond
To those I have not yet met,
may the fortune and opportunity
be upon us both
to firm into existence
the wonderful bond that
we already share
for God has foretold
we shall mix our molecules
and create something together
May it be divine,
and stupendous,
and delightfully good,
in the eyes of the One
we create for
and for the betterment
of those around us
and the Earth we inhabit
Each day is a grand miracle,
an opportunity to evolve
a mystical moment in time,
designed by us, for us,
to grow into something new.
like a grand rose, prostrating
and then elevating into the sky
Towering tall like the beauty it is
Remembering itself to itself,
its true and only Self,
the Wise One.
like the eagle, Soaring through
the sky, elevated, elated at its
wondrous view. Thunderous applause
from the fantasy around,
as the fantasy within comes to Life
and meets the physical with poise.
Playfully predated, before its time,
yet of it, for it is here,
and All shall remember its
subtlety, in the silent moments,
in the grand moments, and in
the eyes of the child, who
knows it so well.
Upon us All is greatness, to rise
and meet it, and watch it
descend to the Earthly realm,
for the Heartbeat of the Mother
guides us. Beneath us. She calls,
and above us, she falls.
Together in a great womb of Love.
Safely held in the Mother’s Arms.
A peace upon us All, upon us All,
a Peace.
Her gaze extends into realms unseen
A mystery with no end
despite and beyond her,
I am still here
The depth of her mystery
penetrates me.
It slices through, yet has no feeling.
It is weightless, meaningless
it is everything, and nothing
I fall into a deep well
Free of space & time
Her gaze haunts me
Her eyes destroy me
Her movement decapitates me.
No mind. No head. No eyes.
No face. No Soul.
Just breathe. Just the breeze.
Just the silence and the ashes.
The tingle of my spine reminds me
I am here.
Will she ever be seen,
Will she ever arrive,
or depart, or take part.
It’s a mystery to me.
A whisper blows
into an Apple
An Apple became a voice
into the blue,
I went, and out came
a golden Tiger
full of life
and free from death
for the grasps that had me
simply left
Breath and believe
it is All here,
now
Here it is,
now, and I
Seek me, to find you
here, I am
She is my first experience
of God
the first thing
I ever knew
The first taste
of something new
the only thing
I ever knew
She is
the other side
my only ride
the first in time
My other half
she makes me laugh
I always knew
it was you
Pain leaves me
as smooth as
a dandelion
floating in the
breeze
She is The Mother
She is The Earth
She falls to save them
Her children
By Holy means
she wears the mask
she fools them all
Her merry laugh
The children, the infants,
the small ones,
They are Her.
They sprung forth from Her.
they seek Her
She presents herself to them.
by damaged means
she repeats
she repeats
And all is well.
Across the water
two worlds
stare
at each other
A bliss is felt
An ever-lasting
Bliss. A peace
forever
Pieces, and pieces
make up
a full crown
Enthroned
is my Love
I create spaces for you to dance in
it’s just a whisper
I compromise
for you to seek freedom
There is nothing like my arms
There is nothing like my hands
It is your Home
It is clean
It is pure
Only that remains
When you come home
from a long,
long day
I am here
Like a flair
in the night
many will come
to dance across your space
But none,
will ever fill the void
of the moonless
Eclipse
A memoir to Earth
in times of peril
look up
and remember
You are a child
of the Holy Sun
forever, forever, you
shall live
fear not, for fear
itself is only a breathe
of fresh air
on a haunted day
deciding which way to look
Sing the song.
The song of life.
Sing the song you came to sing.
Sing it loud.
Sing it soft,
But sing it none the less.
I will find you wherever you are
on this Earth
& love you
for you are beauty, personified
You know me, that’s how I am, always a smile on my face when I can
LIFE CHOICES.
We always have a choice.
The choice is ours indeed
It calls to us always
Will I listen?
Taking action creates action
Creates movement and energy
A choice, results in something
Life is full of choices
Left or Right, Up or Down
In or Out, Her or Him?
How we respond to the truth
Stored deep in our heart
Is the true test of a choice
The choice leads your life
So choose what is true to You
for it is Your life
And your choice.
The mountain seat.
And here I am
Emerged in beauty
The kind that encourages the heart
To smile
Amongst the trees
A gentle breeze
Rocks my soul
To sleep
- POEM -
She purs in the silence
the rain patters on
Carvings, enlargen my pupil
dislocating a reality
trodden on
Ancient places holding frequencies
Memories
A place for the soul
A soul for the place

Rice fields and wagging trees.

Could get used to it.
Plenty of opportunity here.
Ask, and ye shall receive.
it is a conversation with life
that yields the experience of love,
and the guidance
that brings us home.
We each come with a purpose,
and God is eagerly awaiting us to
begin the dance to remember
what it is.

A Gaze from a master
Staring into eternity
Pearls of wisdom with no name
I am overwhelmed by nothing
By nothing at all
It sees me, but does not appear
For there is nothing there
It is hollow indeed
Hollow and full of love
For this is the truth
Of that tantalising gaze
The truth
The truth
The truth

NOTEBOOK.
Tread lightly. Listen.
Let the ocean speak.
Time will fly, so go slow.
Breath & relax.
Be with the Earth and the ancient
spirit of the place.
