Look for the stillness,
The peace and
The quiet,
For that is where you will find
your purpose,
Along with
Hope
Faith
And salvation.

So quieten your chaotic demanding cynical monkey chatter,
Pause,
Take time,
To breathe,
And breathe again.
Then notice,
The diversity of
Sights, sounds and touch
That’s all around you.
The vibrant colourful hues of nature’s forest,
The gentle touch of wind’s breath upon your skin,
The melodic mesmerising waves of the sea,
The warming glow from sun’s golden orb.
Take time
To breathe
Long, deep and slow,
To go inwards,
To reconnect,
Mind, body and soul.
What is your body saying to you?
What message is it offering you?
What sensations are crying out
For you to listen, to hear, to understand?
What do you need to learn
From the deep wise voice
Deep inside you?
Lilibet Dec 2020
There’s no time to waste,
Live with passion and purpose,
Love with all your heart, and
Bring joy, kindness and peace
To all you meet

I sit here till long after dark
Oblivious
To all around me
Scribing my soul
Onto parchment
Words
Feelings
Actions
Unfinished
Left hanging
For evermore

Oh to rest my weary head,
in my freshly laundered bed,
Haste to the land of dreams I mourn,
And pray for sweetness in the dawn.
This was my first attempt at putting any sort of verse together!
It was a hint that I wanted to finish a WhatsApp conversation and go to bed!

Over the horizon
Our dreams await,
Waiting patiently,
Patiently,
For us to listen,
Listen,
Echoing our soul’s desire,
Desire.

Dreams whispering
Between the mists of time,
Crying to be heard,
Screaming to be noticed,
Shouting to be paid attention to,
In order to not only live,
But to thrive,
To dance,
To have,
To be.

I finally got to walk alone in nature once again,
And experienced that longed for peace and stillness,
And space between my ears,
Other than tinnitus’ static,
And tinged with sadness and grief of course,
And short lived till my brain kicked back in.
But for awhile it was bliss.
I heard the birds sing,
The waves reverberate against the pebbly beach,
I felt the wind gently caressing my cheek, and
The warmth of the sun just before it dipped below the cliff,
And saw the rise of the near full moon shining out like a beacon
To lost travellers the world over.
Not even the sound of voices in the distance disturbed my stillness
In that moment.

Scared
Of my feelings
My passion
My joie de vie
Trampled and caged and abused for so long
Knowing it’s time
For the oyster shell to open up
And reveal the stunning pearl inside
Born from grit and uncomfortableness.
Knowing it’s time
To accept my fate
To embrace all that is and
Allow myself to experience
True passion
True connection
True love

Poems are those
Glimpses and snippets of potential understanding,
To full blown laser-like clarity
Wide eyed as you come to the realisation
Your heart and soul knows all
You always knew all
No matter if you deny it
You can never deny it
Not now
Not ever
Again

Poems
are power,
They speak to the soul
From the soul,
Messages
From the unconscious
To the conscious.
Like dreams
Laying you bare open
Exposing your vulnerabilities, hopes and dreams
And your soul’s desire,
Leaving you lying naked on your back
Tied to a stone slab
Spotlight in your eyes
Glimpse of a knife,
Exposed,
Vulnerable,
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Lilibet Feb 2022
Stream of consciousness
Residing in the pool of tranquility
Ready to seep into the marrow bones
Of all who dare
Lilibet Oct 2020
I was afraid
Of my passion
And my desires
And my fire

I’ve been suppressed
Playing small
Until now

Now I am a Phoenix
Rising from the ashes

Standing in my power

And my power is magnificent

Life is precious,
We never know when it will be taken from us,
So enjoy every moment
And live like it will be your last.
No more time to be serious,
To carry the weight of the world on your shoulders,
Let go of grudges, perceived slights and those who wronged you,
Learn the lessons
And trust,
For there is hope in the now.
Enjoy
Smile
Laugh
Live every moment
With childish curiosity
Wonder and awe
And
Love.
Appreciate everyone in your life
See the light and good within them
Know they are struggling too
So do what you can to
Lighten their load
Ease their burdens
And bring joy to their day
By pouring yourself into them
And in so doing
You will bring joy and peace
To yours
In return.

At the third chime,
It will be
6:03
Precisely
Not 6pm
Or five past six
6:03
On the dot
Exactly

Overthinking
Leads to one thing,
Doing Nothing.
Lilibet Aug 2021
When life’s a challenge
And all feels lost,
No hope in sight,
No clear direction,
There’s only one thing to do,
And that’s pray to God Almighty,
For He has your back
And will comfort and guide you,
If only you let Him.
🙏🏻

When you’re ready to step up
And show up
Be who you’re meant to be
Do what you’re meant to do,
I’ll be here for you
Ready and willing
To support you
And guide you
And show you the way.
You’ll know when you are ready
To unbuckle and untie
The bonds that restrict you
That hold you back
And I will be waiting
For then
For you
