The Round Room

The round room reels,

Your head spins with thoughts,

You groan in loneliness,

And confusion eats you,

In the dark,

You feel alone,

That no one cares.
        

The room has no walls,

All you see is darkness,

Storms in the night,

Rumblings of far away pain.
        

No way out,

No way forward,

No way back.
        

A whirlwind of swirling sparks appears,

Caught up in a windmill of despair,

Round and round your thoughts spin,

Like the round room,

Spinning around.

But listen!

In the distance,

From far off,

A voice in your head?

A whisper?

An echo?

The voice of the One you love,

The One who cares,
The One who loves you,

Guiding you,

Shining a light for you,

A spark is lit within you,

And finally you see.
        

The storm dies,

And the terror fades,

Only One voice you here,

Guiding you to the door.
        

Open the door and find peace,

On the other side,

Open the door and find Me.


Written late 1980s. Nowhere to hide in a round room...No corners... is my mind the round room? But there is hope....a faith that peace will come... awakening, enlightenment....joy...the deepest darkness is always before the dawn as they say.


 

Release

I was running,
Through the country lanes I know so well
I looked up,
The rain had stopped,
I was soaked to the skin.


Then I lifted up my hands,
Raised my eyes to the sky,
And I felt it smile,
As if it had tested my love for it.


My eyes and ears ached,
And my nose streamed,
But I laughed,
Because I didn't care,
What the world would do to me,
Because it doesn't matter.

I distinctly remember translating the feelings I had at the end of a rune in the rain into this poem. A release, a realisation - I had gained a little more understanding in a sudden moment.... some tension had gone.

Drawn to the Beach

I was drawn to the beach this morning...sat cross-legged on the rocks facing East out to sea .....the sea a beautiful blue/green, waves caressing the beach in an hypnotic dance like breathing - the sea's breaths, the sounds of the pebbles being stirred up by the sea, the sky a perfect blue, the clouds were few and high and white, the wind changing direction subtly (felt it cool on my face), the clear pure air, a pleasure to breathe in and out and the warm sun was beaming down on me filling my soul with gladness! Beautiful. 

I came home to open an email from a friend ...she ended the email with the following:

"Smiling, just happy to live and experience another day!!"

I share her words with you.....

..YES!

Look Around

Look around,

The sun is shining,

Everything is alive.

We live in a sacred arena,

Of divine purpose.

Surrender

Surrender,

Let go.

There is no Future,
There is no Past,
There is only Now.

Allow Yourself to just Be,
Be Here,
Be Present,
Be Now.

Melt into the Moment,
Allow Miracles to Happen.

Walk the Path,
Which leads from Your Heart.

Fly up to the Clouds,
Towards Life,
Towards Love,
Towards Peace,
Towards Beauty.

Go to the Mountain,
And Jump off,
Only then will You Know,
You can Fly.
