Premium MemberAbiding in Self

Life is but a dream we take as real, 
though mind has constructed the universe,
so save in silence, how can our heart heal,
by negating desire, ego spawned curse?

Abiding in Self and in Self alone,
being who we are at a stillness point,
we wake up in this dream, consciousness hone
and our innate light by intent anoint.

Being both

Premium MemberOur Love Abiding

Wave a magic wand.
Bring me to the pond
we two slowly strolled around.
Hand in hand, our walk, 
in soft tones, our talk, 
as, new love, we surely found. 

Overhanging trees,
gentle, soothing breeze,
swans, on the water, gliding,
as we did decide
you would be my bride,
since then, our love abiding.

Premium MemberAbiding Peace

Remember to listen, beneath the whispers,
Where silence meets gentle,
Where kindness meets grace and light,
Light reflects the music of our praise, our souls,
Breaking through the stars, the heavens,
Stirring the beautiful found in the only One
Who can fill our spirits with love that is a miracle –
Sweetest miracle!

Love that is His gift to us, His children
The souls

ABIDING LOVE

I saw you, looking at me
From a decent distance
I took my notice
And offered you calm resistance

I moved, you followed
Respectful, just waiting
Providing circumstances
That guided me toward participating

Finally, I cried out
"I need no nurturing here
I have defense mechanisms
Keeping me from slipping a gear

...I love manual transmissions

Besides, I've lived a lifetime
Without personalized care
Pouring into others
Never questioning what is

The Way She Talks

The way she talks....
as if a sweet bird sadly singing.
as if she's so sorry for the troubles
that we are having,
her face goes red like an apple,
not her fault,
but like a prayer in a chapel,
she seems to be apologizing.
not her burden,
but to carry it for calmness,
she's so abiding.
the tone of her voice tears your heart
and your

Premium MemberAn Autumn Tree

Will such beauty endure? It surely must.
When Mankind’s traces vanish from the Earth,
our glories turned back to primeval dust,
millennia hence. And then perchance re-birth,
starting afresh with wondering eyes to see
abiding splendour in an Autumn tree.

All the sorrow and pain
Breaking hearts, falling rain
Inspiring feelings so dismal
Dark doubts that are abysmal
It is almost like a sensation
Nothing alive in creation
Grieves like this degradation

Abiding faith in the Lord
Blessed joy to me restored
Christ's love is beyond our grasp
Dwelling free from sin's death clasp
Everlasting life is found
Fullness of joy, peace abound
Giving thanks for all blessings
Hope of heaven, heart now sings
Immortal, I'm now God's child
Justified and reconciled
King of Kings is my Father
Led by Christ, my life's Author
Mediating for my sins
Nourished by

The Abiding Grace

You have no clue
What I have been through
But you think you know you do
You have no clue
What is wrong and what is true
But you think that it’s all about you

Well, I have been hurting
Deep down, my fire is burning
This pain inside is alarming
I’m done harming 
myself too today…
I’m done harming 
myself in dismay…
I have been

Catatonia, Collapse, Abiding Love

I kneel, bow, and make myself into 
A rock to ask God, 
King of the Universe, 
Give me the amateur. 
Hear my cries, Lord our God, 
And give me him. 

I plead, beg, and erode 
My rough edges; 
Almighty One, 
I want this one to be terminal. 
Please, God, place the 
Obsidian in the core
