Let the love flow
Feel the spirit inside
Feel it wash over you
Feel it
Pouring from every ounce
Feel that light
The ever present light
Flowing and healing
Feel the warmth
The beauty
The ever present
Amazing
Glory
Peace
May the spirit flow into you
May it heal you
May you see the beauty
That flows in you
And in everyone around you
Let the spirit flows out
Until light and peace
Is all you will see
And maybe you can share
A little peace
And light with me

Everything in life has meaning
Even your life matters
Everything in the universe
Has a great design and purpose
From the smaller atom
To the biggest star
Everything matters
We have to see the bigger picture
To truly find meaning
Not only for our own lives
But for everything else inbetween

Its midnight
I am sitting here
Half between awake
And half between sleep
Not quite knowing
When my eyes will finally rest
When my mind will actually quit
Enough for me to simply sleep
So many things on my mind
That I just can't put it to rest
Long enough to actually fall asleep
I know that my body needs it
It's when we do most of our healing
I know that if I don't
I am only hurting myself in the end
I know all of these things
But knowing is different
From actually getting there
I want to be able to sleep
To feel that calm that comes
When I am free
In my head
In my dreams
When I can feel rested
Rejuvenated
Ready for a new day
Instead I sit here awake
Knowing that its going to be
Another long night ahead
Hopefully my wishes will be answered
And I will find rest tonight
But I have a feeling
This just isn't going to happen

We are a mirror
We are all mirrors
In our own ways
Reflecting gods image
And reflecting gods light
Even as crazy as the world
Has become we all share
That divine light and love
That is inside
Even if people doubt it
Or push it away or ignore it
That divine nature is waiting
Like a spring or well
It springs from a divine source
Spreading through the world
And reflecting through us
And into others
If we start to understand
This simple truth
All other strife would cease
We would stop killing
Or hating or separating
Each other because we would
Understand we are only one reflection
We all share the same spirit
And the same.source

More out of life
More out of love
More out of peace
More out of grace
More out of spirit
More out of Earth
More out of joy
More out of
Those peaceful
Quiet moment in
Your soul when you
Know you are complete
And you are exactly where
You need to be at all times and
When you can feel the Earth and our
Mother and spirit flowing through every
Pour of your existence until you get
To that point in yourself where
You can accept that you
Are able to have
More peace
More grace
You are ready
To be whole
We are all
Craving for
That oneness
Connecting
With the
Common
Collective
We call
Humanity
In loving
Peaceful
Ways

When I wake in the morning
I know that through my struggles
God shows me calm
He speaks to me
To calm my spirit
Even everything else
Seems like it is going wrong
In the morning I wake
And though I might worry
God is always there
God wants to be there for you too
He wants to comfort
Allow him

Mothers Day
Is a day
To celebrate our mothers
No matter what type
Of relationship we have
We must always remember
They carried us
Inside of them
No matter what else
Might have happened along the way
Our mothers are our mothers
Nothing can change that
And even if it might feel
Like your mother might not care sometimes
A mother's love
Can transform anyone's heart
Even if they might
Have a different way of showing it
We all came from mothers
We can never get around that
So we must do what we can
To celebrate them
Because without mothers
No matter what happens after
Not one of us would be here today

It can feel
Like life
Can be on
Mute
It can feel
Like everything
And everyone
Is passing you by
Living on mute
Not moving
Not being aware
Not listening
Ignoring
Everything
Around you
Being closed off
You have to
Be willing
To turn on
The volume
Every once
In a while
To truly hear
And comprehend
Everything
That is going
On around you

My everything
Is in all of you
Our everything
Is inside each other
We all exist
Apart and together
Living and breathing
Our own separate existences
But somehow close
Together
Living and breathing
Growing and changing
Together yet apart

My life isn't over yet
There is still a long way to go
I know its easy to get stuck
Stuck wondering
If what I am doing
Is really where I should go
But I know
I have a long way to go
Until I get home
But there is still
So much to do along the way

My world
Is your world
My heart
Is in your heart
My soul
Is in your hands
My eyes see you
My mind
Knows you
You help me
See the truth
You guide my life
I know you are there
Thank you
For being there
You are the spirit
That guides me
The mother that holds me
In her loving embrace
And lays the world
Beneath
And the father that guides me
Lovingly
Moving me along
As I continue to grow

Trails run through the forrest
Offer nature's delight on display

We all need our space
We need to be alone
Every once in a while
We need time to reflect
Lose ourselves in ourselves
Taking a break
Taking that time
To free ourselves
Find that spot
That special spot deep inside
Where no one else can go
When we need to escape

Some people
Have a natural
Tendency to see
The world in dual
Forms between the
Positive influences
And the negative
It can be easy to
Be caught in dual
Thinking and not
Seeing the bigger
Picture and the
Beautiful design
And order in our
Lives and in each
Other as well so
That we end up
Deeming certain
People as being
Evil or negative
We all have a
Shadow side
And we all
Have our light
Sides that need
Nourishing and
If we try to have
And imbalance
Of either the dark
Or the light and
Not accepting
Every part of us
We will continue
To live our lives
In duality and
Not being able
To see or to know
The bigger picture
That is right in front
Of our eyes all along

Save thyself and come down
From the cross
Likewise also the chief priests
Mocking said amongst themselves

With the scribes he saved other's
Himself he cannot save
Let Christ the king of Israel
Descend now from the cross
That we may see and believe

And they that were crucified with him reviled him
And when the sixth hour was come there was darkness
Over the whole of the land until the ninth hour
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice
Saying Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani? Which is being interpreted as
My God My God why hast thou forsaken me?

And entering into the sepulchre they saw a young man
Sitting on the right side clothed in a long white garment
And they were affrighted and he said unto them be not affrighted

Now when Jesus was risen early in the first day of the week
He appeared first to Mary Magdalene out of whom he had cast seven devils and when she told them that he had had been with him as they mourned and wept and they heard he was alive believed not

And he said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be ****** and these signs shall follow them that believe and in my name shall thy cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink deadly things it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover so then

after the Lord had spoken unto them he was received up into heaven and sat on the right side of God and they went forth and preached every where the Lord working with them and confirming the words with signs following Amen.

A new day
A new beginning
A new life
A new love
A new way to live
A new way to hope
Right before your eyes
Taking each day
One at a time
As you move along
Floating through time
Floating together
Floating as one
Throughout all the bad weather
For sickness and health
To death do we part
Our love everlasting
Built from the heart

Bedtime stories we tell ourselves
Are actually quite funny if you really think about them
They all seem a little dark in their own way
Kind of like humpty dumpty
Who is this egg and why would be sitting
On a wall in the first place
And they always show the picture of him
Sitting with a pained grimace on his face
As his eggy innards are flowing on the ground
Or even the story of old mother hubbard
We sat in her cupboard eating her curds and whey
Who actually swallows a spider when they are eating
And if they did would they really die
Sometimes I wonder about the people who write these bedtime stories
And nursery rhymes
And wonder why parents keep telling their kids these stories
That seem to make little sense
But still seem to be very popular
Maybe we are just so used to telling them
That we don't actually sit and wonder
About what they really mean
Or how ridiculous a lot of them are
Maybe I just think too much about the little things
But I can't be the only one who thinks this way

To occupy is to take by force
To forcibly remove someone
To take up space
Claiming your territory
Or even your space
There have been many occupations in history
Most of them where done through force
Most of the people who were being occupied
Never really had a choice
If they wanted to be occupied or not
We as humans have a tendency
Of wanting to occupy
Of wanting to take over
Wanting to convert and destroy
Instead of trying to learn
Learning from each other
Sharing our resources and our ideas
Instead of trying to live in harmony with the land
With the animals
With the sea
With each other
We would rather subjugate and destroy
Until there is nothing left
We must think a lot less like occupiers
Trying to control our space
Trying to control each other
And trying to live in harmony and peace

Once in a while
It can get hard to smile
Every once in a while
It can get hard to breath
Every once in a while
It can be easy to think about giving up
Every once in a while
You just want  to be free
Free from the weight
Free from the pain
Free from the guilt
Freedom from the shame
Every once in a while
You have to take time for yourself
And to just let it all go
Let go of the hurt
The pain
The shame
And the guilt
And just live day by day
Trying to become a slightly better person
Than you were the day before

There is an order to everything
An underlying factor
That rules everything
We need to get back in order
So that we can start living together
Living in order with the Earth
Instead of trying to subjugate and tame it
Learning from the ancient wisdoms
And taking care of our mother
And taking care of ourselves
Paying attention to the natural order
Instead of forcing our artificial way of life
Unto each other and this planet
Our mother wants to be free
Free to breathe
To live in balance
Everything has a balance
Everything has a natural order
We have to be willing to live alongside
Our brothers and sisters
Living in order with each other
Living in order with ourselves
Accepting ourselves
Accepting our natural order in the world

It's easy to look down on the others
The people that just don't fit in
The people who are outside of the game
I think we should start paying
A little more attention to the others
And start seeing that they we are all
Playing the same game
I think some times we need
To step out of the game
To truly be ourselves

Our way is peace
Our way is kindness
Our way is knowledge
Our way is connection
Our way is love
Our way is mercy
Our way is understanding
Our way is everlasting
Even as far away
From ourselves
As we get
Our natural state
We must always return back
To who we really are
To truly live
Setting our souls free
Living the truth
Living the way
Living our way
The right way
That we have
Always been meant to
From the beginning

Trickling madness pours through my mind
I see myself from a tunnel view
I see everything in my mind
Hyperactive light show
I can't come down
Getting swept darker in the madness
Deeper into my head
Riding the waves as they overcome me
Feeling lost in my own body
Overload has come
I don't know how to get off of this ride
All I know is that I can't stop
My mind is aflutter with no where to go
All I can think of
Is when will this madness end
When will my mind be able to rest
From this sensory overload.

Paper dreams on plastic lies
Corrupting us with their paper dreams
That tell us we can't be happy without that paper
That tell us we can't be happy unless we buy that plastic
And sell our souls to their paper dreams
And plastic lies
Those people tell us
That the only way to live
And play in their little game
Is to buy into this fantasy
That tell us that we can't be happy
Until we have bought every single toy
Until we have bought ourselves dry
Trying to fulfill this paper dream
And those who see the truth
For what it really is
And decide not to play the game altogether
Are ostracized and seen as a nuisance
Or crazy
And seen as people to be gotten rid of
Disposed of
Because they refuse to buy into the paper dreams
And the plastic lies
We need to open our eyes
There is more than enough in the world
For everyone to have plenty
And for our Earth to heal
And for us to pay more attention
To our planet
And to the people standing right in front of us
We are so filled with greed
Chasing these plastic lies
That make us hide ourselves
That make us fake
Following the rules
And separating ourselves from each other
That a lot of us don't even realize they are doing it
They have become so used to immediately seeing themselves
As somehow better
Somehow more important
Than other people
Because they buy into the plastic lies
And the paper dreams
But we are all equal
We all have something to give
And we all have something to gain
By giving up these dreams and lies
And getting back to the natural way
Before we started buying into this reality

Paradise is only
A moment away
Trapped in our hearts
We are always
Just a moment away
From paradise
Each time I look
I see happiness
Tucked in between
The mourning
And the sadness
Paradise
Is waiting
We are all
Only a moment away
From paradise
Look into your eyes
Look into your heart
It's never too hard to find
If you know where to look

The parts of ourselves
We want to hide
Often come out the most
Be honest with yourself
You can never hide what's inside
Whatever is boiling below the surface
Let it go
Let go
Of whatever it is
That is keeping you
From being true to yourself
Whatever it is
That you are holding on to
Whatever it is that is keeping you
From truly healing
Whatever it is
That is keeping you from seeing reality
Stuck in yourself
Choosing to ignore
The issues
That are staring you
Right in front of your face
Let go
Of whatever is inside of you
That is keeping you
From being that whole
Complete
Healed
Loving person
We all want to be healed
We have to look inside of ourselves
And truly look at ourselves
To truly be free

Allow that calm
That only you can bring
Take away the hurt
Bring me to that peace
That inner well of strength
That only you can bring
Peace be still
Turn away
The troubles of the day
Just be still
I feel
I know
You are there
Calming me
Calming my spirit
Filling me
Peace be still
Calm my heart
Calm my mind
So I can move forward
Ready to fight
Another day

Poems for people and about people.

I like to think
That people
Are generally good
Even as crazy
As some people might seem
And even as much hate
And war
And crime
And how many people
Seem as far away from the truth
And seem to be stuck
On their own self destructive tendencies
Even hurting themselves
And ultimately the people around them
People are still generally good
We all want to believe
That we are good inside
We just have to reach down
And find that goodness
Inside of ourselves
And in every one else
Around us

Life runs in periods
Great cycles that run
Through history
Life is cicular
Nothing ends
Just moving along
Never ending
Always expanding
Returning back
To the source

There is pain
Confusing
Anger
The world
Can be messy
Sometimes
It can seem
Like the world
Has gone crazy
Its easy to focus on
All the things
That are going
Wrong
Living pessimistically
Instead of looking
Seeing all
The beauty
That is all
Around us
We live in
A beautiful world
Even as far
As things have gotten
We still live
In a beautiful place
Even as crazy as thing
Might seem
There are still people
Who are living
And showing people
What love really means
There are still people
Helping people heal
Showing people kindness
Grace
Mercy
Showing people
How to love
One heart
At a time
There is still
Healing
We are never
Too far away
To receive it
We just have to
Start looking
And finding the beauty
Instead of always
Seeing the negative
Living pessimistically
And start seeing
Things
In a different way

Piecing it together
Can be hard
It can be hard
To pick up the pieces
Once life has shattered
It can be easy
To get overwhelmed
It can be even harder
To pick yourself
Back up again
Sometimes
You have to dust yourself off
Pick up the pieces
And start piecing yourself
Back together again

I pray for peace
Please allow your love
To rain down on this earth
We live in a time
When people are becoming
More separated
Where people are hurting each other
While people are hurting this planet
People are lost and disjointed
Without any type of connection
To what reality truly means
Living in an illusion
Not understanding
Their real worth
And the ultimate reality
We are all connected
I pray that people
Will begin to see
And stop the wars
And the judgment
And the crimes
And the pain
And start understanding
No life is ever forfeit
For greed or gain
And no life
Is any less sacred
Or has any less purpose
Than any other life
We must come to accept this
Please I am asking you
Wake up
Whoever is out there
Its not too late
Even as crazy
As the world is
Its never too late to wake up
Waking up to yourself
Waking up and sensing
The spirit that is inside
But more importantly
Being able to feel and to see
The spirit inside of everything else
Responding out of love and kindness
Instead of hate and anger
Learning to love in whole
And complete ways
And learning to show mercy
And kindness to the people
That need it the most
I pray and plead
Please wake up
Its not too late
We can still turn
Things around
There is still hope
The choice
Is with all of us

Pleasing the world
Can seem easy sometimes
It can feel easy sometimes
To give in to world
Giving in to the pleasure
And the whims of every one else
Not being yourself and fighting the norm
It can be easier to try and fit in
Try to be normal in this crazy world
But ultimately what is normal
Isn't whats best
You have to be willing
To be yourself
Bucking the mold
Learning to please yourself
And your own individuality
Rather than trying to please
The world and everyone else

I want to start my book with love

Positivity is not that hard to see
All you have to do is to find that
Inner happiness and positivity
For all to see as you move life
Begins to take a whole new look
As you start to see the positive
In everything and everyone and
You begin to see life for the lovely
Yet crazy existence that we all live
In and just how beautiful the world
Is and all of her creatures big and
Small as we swirl through space
And time colliding with each other
As we go about our days but if we
Could share a little joy and positivity
To the people around us the world
Would be a more positive place to be

Some people parade around
Like they are preening themselves
Flossing their jewelry
And pruning their feathers
Parading around
Like they are better
Then other people
Closing themselves off
From people they feel
Are somehow beneath them

The present is a present
We all should enjoy
Life is a gift
Learn how to enjoy it
Life is more beautiful
More subtle
Than we give it credit
Once you through away fear
And live in the moment
You start to see
Just how much of a gift
Life really is

Produce sensitivity in your heart.
Be sensitive with others
Be sensitive with yourself
Be sensitive to others pains
Be sensitive to others hurts
Be sensitive for everyone
Who has ever been lost
Be sensitive with each other
We hurt so easily
We could all use a little sensitivty
To help us get through

Tireless pursuit
Of a twisted dream
Can drive us mad
Twist our hearts
Taking us farther away from ourselves

The most quintessential thing in life
Is to live
We put up so many block
So many barriers
That keep us from
Truly living
We need to be able
To understand
Life is a precious gift
We shouldn't take our lives for granted
We should be living our lives
without fear
Without barriers
Learning to live and to learn
Along the way

Sometimes we get railroaded
So we move to the right tracks

Rain drops
Falling in my head
Releasing their
Kinetic flow
As they fly
From my mind
I am free to
Fly from the rain
Fly free from
My trouble
As I float in
The sky I
Know that
Everything
Will be fine
As the raindrops
Fall on my head
The rain can be
Nourishing too
After a long draught
A strong rain can be
A good thing
Sometimes we have
To let a little rain
Fall in our lives
To truly get ourselves
Clean and wash
The grime away from the day

It can be easy to lose hope
Sometimes in life when
Things get there heaviest
It can weigh you down
And you begin to lose
Hope inside of your
Heart but if you allow
Yourself to raise your
Hope and raising your
Faith and allowing yourself
To soar and raise above any
Challenges that might come
Your way I think you will
Find that after a while
When life gets tough
If you can raise
A little hope
You will
Be better
Off

Sometimes I think
We need to scream out loud
Raise our voices
And yell out loud
Yelling for the people
Who can not speak for themselves
Screaming
Releasing the pain
That life can sometimes bring
Allowing yourself to release
Because there are things in this world
We should all be screaming about
And making noise
Let it out

Its easy sometimes
To rally against something
Especially something we are passionate about
I think sometimes we have to be willing
To step back and really figure out
What we are rallying
Or fighting against in the first place.

Rays of light
Suspended in space
Rays of light that float through time
These rays of light are in our hearts
Connecting us through time and space
We are all rays of light
Propagating through space
Interacting with each other
In different ways
Interacting with each other
So that we create this chaotic mess
That somehow has a beautiful order
And when you step back and look at it all
You start to realize just how beautiful
Our rays of light really are

Reclaim my life
Mold me to your ways
I want you to guide me
Guide me in your light
Guide me with your spirit
Guide me with your love
I feel you inside of me
Help me to grow
Help me to see
See your light
A little clearer
Feel you
A little nearer
Reclaim my soul
Reclaim my life
Guide me
So that I can rest once again
In your humbling grace

Sometimes you have to reconcile love
To really love yourself
To truly know yourself
To let go of your preconceptions
Of what love might be
And find yourself again

Sometimes we can get caught
Recycling old feelings
Getting caught in old ways of doing things
Not allowing ourselves to move forward
Recycling the same habits
Over and over again
