The same person, different view
My new world


Eternal

Closing my eyes drifting calmly, deeply away.
Not a single moment passes that I ever feel alone
Euphoria showers down on me and fills my day
Gliding swiftly to heaven, the place I feel at home
Never afraid to stand tall, to have my say
Embraced into the realm of true life and living.
Love and happiness, true and abundantly clear.
My soul is forever open, my journey is forever giving.
The Opening of my heart, the vivid sounds I can hear,
of the bellows of the truth that have lived with in
Everyone I love overwhelms me like a cooling waterfall,
so many loving souls rush and flood my mind.
Pounding like a drum, my heart echoes in this great hall.
They gather to see me, so gentle, no one left behind.
The magnificent feeling, this is life I can recall.
The colours, a pallet that has never been seen.
Rich, so bright, felt and seen by all.
The sky truer than blue, the grass greener than it’s ever been.
I am the person I remember, able to climb any wall.
This grand experience is too real to be a dream.
Open your heart, realise this place is for you too,
just a single thought of me and I will be so near.
Watching you, guiding your eternal soul through,
obstacles you face, helping you to steer.
Open questions, such as ‘why do we do what we do?’
But now my eyes are open to what is truly known.
I wake, wondering where did this all start?
My thoughts, I try and remember here while I am home.
None of this matters though, just the feeling from the heart.
The ultimate truth is, you and I will never be alone.
Being every memory, every feeling and thought,
the tear you weep, the noise of the wind in the trees,
I am the one responsible for the white feather you sought.
Fear nothing for I am with you in the air and breeze,
holding your hand, kissing your head, love can not be bought.

Angel Protection

My chosen Guide protects me through my life.
Knowing hurt is part of a grand plan,
Set by many, endorsed by me.
But why? A valid question.
Souls growth is my answer.
You chose your level.
Open your heart
Protection-
for you.
Life.


Angel Protection A - Z

Angels bring comfort divine.
Echoing fragile gifts holy intent.
Just kind love mirrored, no one poses questions.
Rustic statues tell unique verses with xanthochroid, yearn zenith.

Thank God!

I woke but,
you were gone.
I prayed that
you were wrong.
I called but,
you didn’t reply
I cried tonight,
you don’t know why.
I sang aloud,
you walked out.
I danced slow,
you had a doubt.
I thought a lot,
you dismissed us.
I ran to you,
you forgot all the fuss.


I gave up,
you wanted me back.
I felt less,
you assumed a trap.
I didn’t call,
you replied to all
I walked away,
you followed tall.
I don’t want this,
you are smitten
I couldn’t care,
you didn’t want this written.
I am new,
you are old news.
I started anew,
you have the same old views.


Blue Print

People talk out loud about this mysterious place
Love given freely to such a hurtful race
Such gentle feelings to a power unknown
Some times what has been offered has little shown.

Some live in fear to what could happen to them
To have such a higher love, why the problem?
Holding such guilt in living carefree
With me every moment, is where I want this love to be.

Never worry about what is ever said or done
The day I had my first child I knew it would be a Son
Each day is a play already written but never read
Knowing my life’s plan without a word even said

The journey for everyone is a complicated task
To a question you want the answer, you’ve only to ask
The result you want will lustre down from above
The ultimate goal for all is the essence of pure love


Why would people choose such pain to loose another?
In this life you may loose a son, daughter or a brother
Comfort at this time is all that can be offered out
Much more to life than this, I’ll tell you what it’s all about

Before your living memory you chose a set plan
It started in the beginning of your life span
Behold an endless guide than you set out in preparation
From a new home, first kiss, even death or a separation

Heaven being our real homes, earth being a school for learning
You may chose to die young, gamble or to be high earning
Why? Is a question I’m asked to answer from time to time
But it’s easier for people to believe Jesus turned water to wine
To embrace God you must dissolve the padding around religion
That for some can prove to be a difficult decision
Loosing faith in the protection you thought was to care for you
Ones’ you loose look down and wish you wasn’t so blue


To choose a path you feel is negative to you now
Makes you into a better person, but you must wonder how?
To learn from mistakes takes a developed soul
One cannot be without the other, that’s the karmic toll

Sleep easy knowing you will be with the ones you have lost
Eternal life and love with them at no extra cost
Just wait and see, you will remember this in years gone by
I will promise to meet you on the other side just to say ‘Hi’


When I miss you

To hold you is an amazing feeling,
the power it brings.
To see you is a heavenly sin,
the beauty so divine.
To smell your skin is a joy,
the scent so comforting.
To hear you is music to my ears,
the sound of angels within.
To touch you brings me hope,
the knowing, you are true.
To taste you is a priceless gift,
the sweetness in your kiss.
To dream of you is pure elation,
the gift to be with you forever.
To talk to you is instant bliss,
the way it all makes sense.
To know you is a great infatuation,
the time I love spending.

However when I miss you….

To hold you is a tender feeling,
your ability to cause me pain.
To see you is a anxious feeling,
your beauty so blinding.
To smell your skin can upset,
your sent that holds memories.
To hear your voice echoes eternally,
your sound numbs my core.
To touch you gives false hope,
your absent soul, you are unseen.
To taste you is at a price,
your sweetness can overwhelm.
To dream of you is pure torment,
your gift is to be here.
To talk to you would be silent,
your presence would prove me unspoken.
To know you greatly aches,
your time is something I would gladly conceal.


The turn of a card

The turn of a card,
the power it brings.
A new point in life
You’ll cry or sing
Amazed every time
truth is confirmed
The thoughts I say
minds concerned
How? I don’t know
I just know to be true
Wanting it in life
Now I’m over due
Gifted? Or a curse?
Never turned it away
Its comfort to many
Giving light every day
The turn of a card
Cuts like a knife
Never gives insight
Into my very own life!

Night

Watching the stars
As they gently appear.
One by one they glow
The sun slowly slipping down

The sky now a pallet of hue.
Sounds of nature
that were hidden by the bustle of day
Now free to be expressed

Thus the mood changes
Gazing upon the vast lake
that gently ripples in the
light of the moon.

Mist rolling through the silhouette
of the woodland.
How the change in light
paints a new picture.

As I look up now
I see a realm of history.
Undiscovered universe
that supplies me with wonder.

Beautiful as a flower
at the end of its life.
Dried and wilting
But forever composed.

Sleepy as I take in the splendor
of the turn of a new day.
Captivating the moments as if the first,
except they are forever more.


So Blind

You watched me slip slowly away.
I remember my feelings that very day.
Feeling my hand slip through yours,
turning away not letting you have a say.

You watched me build that lonely wall,
I can remember standing so very small.
Feeling my heart turn so cold,
turning away, I’d do nothing but fall.

You watched me hide and with-draw.
I can remember closing that very door.
Feeling confusion build up inside,
turning away, why would I want more?

I watched you cry in my mind,
you remember my love being so kind.
Feeling lonely with out you here,
turning to you….I have been so blind


Earth Angel

You are the wings that protect my soul
When you touched my heart, you made me whole

You amaze me with every step you make
Light surrounds my heart, one thing that would ache.

But you are a earth Angel.

I see your soul through you beautiful browns
The mystery that dwells, I see us wearing crowns

The darkness in my life before you lit the candle
Hurting emotions I felt were more than I could handle

God sent you
