Prayer To All Poets
Star BG Sep 2018
May you wrap your words of heart
in blanket of poem
and continue to write expanding the world.

May you remember who you are
and take barton-like pen
to scribe your message inside grace.

May you find peace in your journey,
knowing you are a gift,
deserving to have your dreams.

May you expand in these changing times
to align with Spirits guidance
so you feel harmony.

May you open your hearts,
and take action to make a difference,
inside love and the written word.
I sent a response to a fellow writer with first stanza and then it expanded into a prayer for all. Thanks Patty m

Quote Of Day
Star BG Oct 2017
We are on our own grand stage of life,
experiencing dark and light,
good and bad,
smiles and hardships
all to come back to who we are-
Divine and a co-creator/director.
Take responsibly and be the best director you can
with orchestrated music of love
and thread of God.

We Have
Star BG Jul 2017
We have flown to the moon and beyond,
BUT still do stupid things like can’t live in peace on our own planet.-- war is sacrilegious and a tool for the elite.

We have the best natural healers BUT still do stupid things like trying to use old remedies that don’t heal. -- doctors need to be retrained.

We have great healthy foods BUT still do stupid things like fill our bodies with food causing sickness.--
Time to learn that many foods are filled with chemicals.

We have amazingly creative people BUT still do stupid things like listen and support wrong causes. -- TV programing and news needs to be given back to the people.

We have many who are filled with wisdom BUT still do stupid things like teach our children lies and garbage.  -- education system needs to be changed so the truth is taught.

We have wonderful allies inside Mother Nature BUT still do stupid things like abused Mother Earth and all her allies. --Wake up world they are our allies.

We have great wisdom and gifts BUT still do stupid things like don’t listen to our heart or cultivate the gifts within.-- we need to listen to our own great selves.

We have great qualities inside oneness BUT still do stupid things like continuing to live in separation with our neighbors.  Time to know we are one and meant to live in peace.


We have great beautiful hearts as humans, BUT still do stupid things like allowing ourselves to believe lies fed to us by those in power. -- time to breath, ground with open hearts.

We are all Divine Let us NOT do stupid things. Let’s share to make the world a better place.Time to live in peace, abundance, joy, compassion, freedom, and oneness, connected to all beings of universe.

Quote/ Lesson Of Day
Star BG Oct 2017
Be who you ARE -
DIVINE and a CO-CREATOR
taking responsibility for your life.
FOR you scripted it on this
playground of expansion on EARTH.
Once done turn to those
who played a role in your life
and within heart be grateful to them
then everything will change.
NOT ALWAYS AN EASY THING TO DO and has not been taught. But that is the true formula of compassion. To forgive and thank those who hurt you the most. They are the ones who played the role and gave you an opportunity to grow and see the greatness of self. EVERYONE is a gift to be celebrated.
There is so so much we as humans need to shed of untruths that has been infused in Politics, News Media, Religion, Fear, Separation, to realign with the true divine being within.  Blessings all on your journey of awakening. The next few months will prove to be ones that will start to open the sleeping up to see and know to shed old beliefs taught to carry the torch of love and compassion, not hate and revenge.   Remember our essence is LOVE. Lets get back on that road.

One Never Knows...
Star BG Feb 2018
what lurks in the mind of a poet.
A place where anything is possible.

laughter and sadness are stored.

A place that gives wings to words,
so they may fly
into a readers waiting eyes.

A Vat
Star BG Dec 2017
I shall dip myself,
coating me
in vat of colorful love energies
sent from soul.
It forms an outer shell
like a sugar coating.

The colors
Sparkle and Vibrate.
Expand and Pulsate.
Tickle and Surround.

I shall dip myself
in the moment
savoring the invisible gift
only the heart can see.

Rainbow colors enter cells
giving etheric wings a chance to open.
Dance away I shall
in life that provides endless possibilities.

Oh To Paint
Star BG Jul 2017
Drenched in color of my heart
I painted a scene.
Red and rosy
capturing the scent of flowers.
With deep inhale I painted diligently
until my heart began to fly.

I flew North and South
East and West
picking up speed.
Until I
drifted through a rainbow cloud.
Now I paint in technicolor
streaming to eyes that glance.

In Your Shoes
Star BG Apr 2019
In the shadows of your shoes
father, I tried to stand
as a young boy.
Wanting to mirror the tall
figure who had wisdom.
Desiring to get comfort inside
a foot hug so I could feel security.

I watched while the shoes were shined
to perfection, as they emulated greatness
from one who moved in them daily.

As I grew Fathers shadow grew
and I felt the heaviness of
his shoes in mind.

They became like bricks
hampering my movement.
They were weights
that made life difficult.

But I kept walking trying to steady
and catch your view of praise.

I never did and now
I am left with
an empty pair of shoes
and my own tears realizing...
I need only to walk in my own shoes.
Don't know why I wrote it as if I was a boy but that is how it came out so that is what I left.

I Wish
Star BG Dec 2017

One that is closer and never so far.

When it drifts with grand charm and grace.
It Sends blessings to human race.

As we connect on New Year's Day.

I wish I wish as I do see,
Visions of riches and harmony.

The closer it gets the more I smile,
knowing I’m safe as I dance in aisle.

I Confess
Star BG Nov 2017
I confess,
I sneak about, at night
getting a glimpse of starlit sky
to transmute feelings into words.

Vibrations explode inside restless poetic mind to launch a poem.

I sneak around
when streetlamps are lit, 
and sleep evades self,
as rays of moon call
to aim pen at blank page.

Sometimes,
in day energies invite
inside birds song
for poems to fly out,
as if words have wings.

Other times, I take breath
aligning in daily activities
to find poetic jargon
Behind every corner
ready to strike creative mind.

Heart pumps weather day or night encouraging with its musical song.

And in dreams,
there is always room
to tuck a vision away in memory
to on awakening birth a poem.

I confess I love my writing gifts.

Night birds start singing
wind dance in air
catching our worries

Earth Fairy

I am an Earth Fairy,
catering to the needs of Mother Gaia.
Swirling in her grand energies,
I spread  butterfly wings.

With love intentions,
I release breath with momentum
to spread seeds of light.

They anchor to assist
the many creatures
inhabiting her fields.

To the trees and plants,
I send gratitude,
as they grow tall
to grace the surface.

To the insect kingdoms,
I send admiration,
as they move in rythems
of earths heartbeat.

To animals big and small
I whisper thanks
for their divine forms
that makes this planet precious.

To the humans, I send blessings,
as they evolve to know
we are all one.

And...caretakers of this
Our Earth Home.

Gratitude Love Bug
Star BG May 2019
The gratitude love bug is on the loose.
I hear there is an epidemic
crossing the nation.

The creature flies
moving through walls
and while one sleeps.
Moves out in fields  
and in the air one breathes.

There is no cure
but relief is felt
when one exhibits love
and whispers gratitude.

Its cousin is the forgiveness fly.
It too is moving through the countryside.
I know I got bit by both.
Living with its symptoms
of longing to express
is quite divine.

What about you?
The bug of spirit is on the loose.
Awakening all in its path.
Love moves into blood stream
tickling to make one smile.
Once experienced there is no turning back.

Burning midnight oil
unable to sleep
my thoughts churn
in vacuum of mind.

They beg
pounding cross membranes
wanting to be scribed.
They echo in breath calling
till I sit and begin to write.

Surrender I must,
as words become key to open heart.
I write so perhaps
soon I could sleep.
And dream in hopes
that morning light
will find them a new place    
behind someone else's eyes.

My Name

My old Name
is way gone.
Changed for the better
due to awakening

Gone to pasture
to grow like weeds
far from my flowering self.

Gone to travel back to vat of letters
from parents mind.

My old name
something
that no longer serves.
It was a snake that tried to bite
with purpose to ****.
It moved in younger days
between tall grass-like people
who did not understand me.

It grew attaching itself
with judgments and insecurity
labels I could not shake.

My name now has evolved
in shamanic journey
becoming a song
to match my heart and essence.

My new name,
destined to live and breath
as other people learn it,
and we celebrate together.
someone asked me my old name. I do not share it because it is dead. I carried it with the labels it carried both by others and myself. Thus this was born.

When darkness replaces sun,
and stars twinkle urging
dreams to come out and play,
I listen to the winds voice.

It echoes, as if a band leader
aiding the changing of the guard.

Moon rises to take its place cordially
passing sun who is ready
to nap in its blanket of rays.

Moments expand from seconds
knocking at the hourly hand
as bells toll gracefully.

When darkness replaces sun,
and its rest time for traveling soul
candle in heart burns
illuminating darkness.

Burns away fears and doubts
that linger from day.

Moon sings a lullaby to stars
that tickle consciousness
as vibrations rock gently.

                           Time to welcome in the
shadows that drift
as I sit
content to play in the dark.

Words are in my blood.
Red corpuscles the syllables.
White punctuation.

They flow into heart
each racing
to my epicenter of pumping *****.

Little haematids dance
bonding inside hearts song.

They all become like flag
in red, white, and blue
echoing the anthem of life.

They float grabbing breath
to make visions materialize.

Soon blood generates
a vortex of thoughts
that coagulated.

And wala a poem is born.
