It's very exciting,
These words you're reciting,
Inviting in abundance,
Such a fun dance with existence,
Escaping the dense feeling of lack,
Getting our power back,
As we stack moment after moment,
Knowing our present is the gift,
Split the rift,
Get ready to shift,
Drift with the momentum,
And enjoy the conundrum.
You always have some,
Air to breathe,
Creating another miracle through alchemy,
How so little can create exponentially,
Everything we need to be.

Nature has come calling an adventure I truly adore
Time to connect and spend time in the great outdoors
A trip down a forested path birds and animals ready to say hello
A journey into their world is very inviting surely you know
The freshly fallen multi-coloured leaves awake to the sun
A gentle reminder to all of us that autumn has begun
Down by the riverbank, a bear does appear
He is dining out on salmon proceed with caution no need to fear
Eagles gaze down from high up in the trees
Soon to chose their flight pattern in the gentle breeze
A glorious day so full of sights and sounds
It's time to leave this place and return to town

beauteous full moon
shines brightly for us.
there's so much promise
in our starry sky;
let's swim under this
inviting twilight!

In his arms it feels so warm and cozy.
Not a worry in the world have we.
Very happy and content, feeling life is rosy,
I cannot think of another place I'd rather be.
Time with him is my stress release.
I wish I could stay with him this way evermore.
Never could I find on earth a greater peace,
Gifted with the inviting smile of the one I adore.

I left the village and trudged towards the small wood,
Junipers, covered with berries that looked so good.
It was an inviting place many knew about
It was luck I found it, few cared I have no doubt.
In the middle, a pond cherished by lots of fish,
Around willow Norway Spruce which was my true wish.
And on the face of the water, large leaves floated,
With white, yellow and purple lotus promoted.
I sat on a rock, watching some birds as they flew,
Elated as the solitude around me grew.
On the other side, a small bridge led to my place.
I had to admire her neat walk, her lovely face.
She quietly sat down beside me, full of bliss.
I leaned slowly towards her and gave her a kiss.
In that inviting place who could ignore delight
I was ready to give her my all heart outright
In that silence, she lay on my shoulder, her head.
In blissful solitude, never a word we said.

The pink hallways led us down to the sea
We could not jump from the last step
But I could have dived in and I might have loved it
Unfortunately, I was not wearing my swimming suit
There was an inviting table with a pink chair.
I sat, enjoying the ambiance of the pretty water
No water is as blue or as sparkling as the Aegean Sea of Greece
I sat for a time, enjoying a luxurious caramel coffee.

Bliss beats rise
from deep within,
if we
be receptive
to God’s magnetism,
that pervades
our form
awaiting
consent
of free will,
that He may
enliven our soul,
by setting aflame nodes
for
love enablement.

Books of life cannot be fully writ,
Cosmic egg comes with dark space unlit,
Come O Death if ye must,
Ready I’m to be dust,
We have an old custom, guests to greet.
Pray, be frank, no need to be discreet,
Come like a dark matter on retreat,
If only to take me,
Waiting I’m and ready,
Cut this beat around bush and be straight.

Reflections | 03.11.2022| Limerick (only as a format)
Poet’s note: Not that I am inviting Death to take me. But if it does come, I am ready today to greet it. For, I feel, Death is to equip the soul with a new body and revised plan for the onward journey. I hope and wish, when it actually comes to call, I would still feel the same.

Grace in-pours through our fontanel
enlivening each body cell.
Love’s fragrance oozes from our pores;
through our fontanel, grace in-pours.
To be as such, ego must die,
that soul eternal may fly high.
Resting thought and learning by touch,
ego must die, to be as such.
All’s enabled once we are still.
In time stretched calm, voids within fill.
Thus, when no agenda’s tabled,
once we are still, all’s enabled.
Ceasing to seek, in God we trust,
aided no doubt, by His bliss thrust.
As love holds us close, cheek to cheek,
in God we trust, ceasing to seek.

We invite sadness when bad news shows up
It is the polite thing to do
Unless you have divine help, guard up!
Yes, variety is good. Upbeat is boring good

She sat for hours
Needle in hand
Stitching in silence
Inviting medleys
She stitched together
Hues happy and glad
Brilliant and vibrant
Inviting medleys
She threaded her needle
Gently with patience
Taking time to create
Inviting medleys
She laced each stitch
Careful, a caress
Against soft fabric
Inviting medleys
She pieced each square
Rectangle or triangle
Together with care
Inviting medleys
She gave her heart
To the pieces she sewed
Weaving hope with her thoughts
Inviting medleys
She held out the quilt
Sensational dreams
Blowing on souls
Inviting medleys
She gave them away
Pieces of her love
Graceful praise
Inviting medleys
She was always laughing
Alive with compassion
Filling her stitches with light
Inviting medleys
She wove love and hope
Into her quilts
Delighting spirits
Inviting medleys

TAPESTRY THEME WORD

inviting, family, remember, simple,
Form: Free verse
What a tranquil abode, our heart haven
Free from narrowness of our lower mind
Flow of silence therein, blissful heaven
Radiating hues of love and light, kind
Softened attention invites divine grace
Our hollowed out form, magnetised by love
Vaporised self beholds God face to face
Heart both fearless lion and gentle dove
Soul acceptant, feels a surge of power
Through highs and lows, we never lose focus
Recognising God as our soul saviour
Steadfast thus, along the divine locus
There then thus being nothing to be done
Our Father and we, already are one

How still is our stillness, if thoughts present
shrouding thus the divine love vibration
within our radiant heart resident
Oh hermit, feel within, the bliss current
by entering the void of cessation
How still is our stillness, if thoughts present
Discarding feral ego sediment
we light the flame of loving elation
within our radiant heart resident
Recognising God as omnipresent
we feel His breath close, in each sensation
How still is our stillness, if thoughts present,
Boundless is presence, self-luminescent
love and light beyond imagination
within our radiant heart resident
Our spiritual ascent is instant
if the flow of life be celebration
How still is our stillness, if thoughts present,
within our radiant heart resident
