No drought in Love

Do you believe in hope, my friend?
Do you believe in hope!
It’s not beyond belief
Or beyond relief
I tried to send that message
In the bottle
But I didn’t know if you received it
I hoped you would
You didn’t know
On the other end
It was sealed
Open it up
Inside is a note
A few words of love
Meaning so much
In so few
In and out
Like dew for a doe
Lapping it up
Every last drop
What was inside?
Not water
But you took it as such
Every last word
With meaning
You understand
There won’t be a drought
In the bottle
There won’t be a drought
In this Love
In the bottle
That travelled across the sea
The water was gone,
But the source still
Was there
And ever
And always
Until the end
Which is
 Just the beginning
Of time
To the ticking heart.

Equipped with Love

Don’t despair,
Care!
In a life
Where people
Are attempting
To diminish meaning
In their ignorance
There is but one answer
And that is Love!
Genuine Love!
Love of peace
Love of neighbour
Love of earth
Love!
It’s not cynical
To Love
It is not pointless to Love
Love within your heart
Towards yourself
Allow it to reflect out
Accept the Love
From above
To ensure
Be assured,
You are well equipped with Love

Beast

The beast was stunted
In the growth of the mind
That could not find
The place
Where those before him lay
The history lost
Only one beast left
Where did he come from?
Only the memory of himself
Nothing to pass on
Nothing to be passed on.
How did this happen?
Why was he a beast?
What’s in a name,
For any other name
Would not be
As bitter…..
As brittle…..
Seemed so strong
But most fragile of them all
The beast
On his own
Where is the beauty?
How does it come from within,
When all that surrounds
Is dried up?
Drought
Is the soul of the beast
Dried up too?
Questioning etiquette
Treatment of another
Not knowing how
Because alone
Never taught
How will the beast
Learn?
How will the beast
Fight instinct,
While at the same time
Embrace it?
Isn’t at least part of him
Part of him?
Or does the beast need
A complete rejection of self?
To put on a new exterior
To match the possibility
Of a new interior
Not inferior
Not an imposter
But a more true
Inner self
That ever existed
In the history of himself
If there is a history now,
What will it be made of?
How does the beast move forward?
The beast can continue
To devour
To waste
Everything in sight
Or intrinsically
Perhaps maybe
Somwhere within, at least
There may be a purity
Not yet found
And innocence within
Offer up the incense beast
only he himself can

Save the Clarity

In a Life
Where seas matter

The matter is the fact

There is no question

Of it purpose

Just a fraction

Of the earth

That makes up most

Of even those

That on it dwell

Water!

Thirst for

Clean in

Clean with 

Live in

Made up of

Of course it is not still

It waves in beauty

It ripples and effects

Across the world

To the other side and back again

When the sea is not

Where it started

It may have been moved

By someone's tears

Or spread by the stream or creek

It may have fallen fresh

From the sky

Or from an eye

Filtered the salt out

It falls

It may be recycled

Yet it is appreciated as though new

The rain from the sky

Where did it take its moisture!

From lakes, from tears

From perspiration?

Desperation

To save

That which humans

Are made up of

Body of water

Our body holds much water 

We mustn't waste it

Otherwise we become the waste

Treat the water

As you want to be treated 

Don't become waste

Appreciate the clarity 

Where is the surface?

We are living in stillness
Yet forever moving
Never ceasing
To create time
In our lives
For important and unimportant
The line is thin
Often barely visible
It’s still there
But it often becomes blurry
The lenses have malfunctioned
And clarity is lacking
Like polluted water
The bottom
Can no longer be seen
Is the bottom the beginning
Or the surface where we see?
The surface almost always
Gets paid the most attention
Yet the layers create what
Really exists
Inside, down and out
A breath
Is in and out
The blood flows this way too
Inhale and exhale
Within the stillness
And in the creation
Of what is larger
The skin is thick
But the heart is soft
Ponder upon the good

Purest of Breaths

You know the people
In this life
That make you think of heaven?
The true people
That help you to believe in heaven?
I have met some
Some have crossed my path
A dear lady
So wonderful, so lovely
Lost her battle today
Took her last breath
In this life today
I believe she has taken the first
Of infinity breaths
Today as well
The purest of breaths
That are her new norm
Amongst many other heavenly gifts
That make pale the earthly home
Some people
You meet
You just feel
You will meet again
That also leads me to believe
In heaven
Pure, precious, never fading light
In the heart from the start
I’m glad I met you
And thank God for you
In this life we are closer
Than we know
To the next
In this life
We can participate
In the kingdom that is at hand
Will you join in the feast ?
It is the meeting
Of two worlds
We’ve been invited to
The mystical banquet
And I imagine
My ancestors, yours and many others
Are there too, God willing
We have been invited
We are invited
I’ll see you there,
I pray

O Lord You are with us

O Lord, Lord, Lord You are always true
I trust, trust, trust, trust, even in the blue
When we are weeping, You are there
Weeping with us too
You know the feelings
You blessed the sorrow
For You have suffered too
We needn’t feel ashamed
In our times of great need
Even in the winter season
Of the sorrow in our hearts
There is a mystery of joy
Knowing You are not only part
But all encompassing in our lives
Eternally, You are present
Eternally You are past
Eternally You are future
And I rest peace in that
For if You were not with us
Everywhere present and filling all things
Where would we be
But in a world
With no worth at all
There is meaning
There is meaning to this life for sure
We may not see it
We may not understand it
But all will be revealed one day
In Love we must live
And do our best at that
For without Love
Even clashing symbols are silent
I’m thankful for loud Love from You
My Lord
I’m thankful for the teaching
Through Your words and through Your kindness
And in Your daily life
You revealed a better way
A way to show love
Not to even always preach
But infact to join to Love
So we too can be love
And give the holy gift of love
That IS only from above
And only with God’s strength
Do we even have any love to give at all
I unite myself to Christ
I unite myself to Love
I am thankful for Love
And I pray that abundance will overflow
Within me and within you all
Sorrow may even have a tomorrow
But one day, all suffering will flee
And we will be in peace
