Clutter

Mesmerized by the quality
In the quantities
Of things to be done;
Clouded by the gap that
Takes no time to become crowded.
No time to waste;
But always keeping a steady pace.


Life has its ways of teaching
Gracious lessons simultaneously
Meticulously;
To be noted,
Less fail, and try again,
Becomes our fate.

And, in all the clutter of it all,
There comes a time
For faith to be mastered,
To take a break.
Clear the mind;
Be free and in tune with life.
For if at this,
One may fail;
Beware,
For in time,
The body will go pale.

Please Keep Me Awake

My heart has developed a longing
I’d never thought
Could have been.
A longing to be sure
That in all of this,
A beautiful memory, we will behold.


For some sad reason,
I really thought I’d escaped
The constant turmoil in my head.
I’d forgotten who is my Source.
One truly has no full control
Of all life’s experiences.
It’s our perception that can be managed.


All over my mind,
I’d think I’m asleep;
Living through a little nightmare.
I’ve been here before.
It just gets more intense,
The way the lesson comes on.


Before the “day” is over
May I choose to find joy.
I know I’m not sleeping.
I’ve been awake all this time.
I’m just living ready
To know how to live
A life and be awake in the present.
The “existence era” has ended.

It just continues to come in my face
I don’t understand why
Life and love keep happening to me.
I can never run away
From either of them.

I long for enjoyment
Of life, in peace
And love, to be real.
I need to find it
I’m searching for it.
Would you believe that I already have it,
But I just can’t really believe it?
It’s special to me
And I act like it’s not.

Have you ever felt like this before?

Heartfelt Reality

When I’ve found myself in awe,
Of all that’s happening,
I step aside to look in deeply.
To be sure I understand
All aspects of this new growth.
I’ve been led to query all,
Or as much as can be questioned.
Reality kicks in when I feel I’ve been pinched
From a deep dream.
Things fall into place
When denial can no longer
Create a mask to hide
What the heart already knows.
It all becomes more alive
When a synergy becomes the new thing.
All in all,
It comes down to love.
There is no way anyone ot anything
Can simply call a deep-fry affection
Anything less than a heartfelt reality.
Let’s live this newness of it all for life.

I Believe

In each moment of every day;

There lies a purpose

Behind the act and thought.

Each person we meet

And choose to bless with a smile;

Or even, maybe not.

People are seen to be special breeds of animals.

At times we seem to overlook

Those in our lives

Because we interact with them regularly.

There comes a point in one’s life

When things go amiss,

And the need arises for hands to hold

And encouraging words to get by.

Before looking around;

Look inside yourself, and say:

“I believe”.
