Along For the Ride
(“The Longest Journey”, 2020, original encaustic)
Along For The Ride
The older I get the less I seem to know
Or even care
And the more I feel a somewhat detached
Observer.
I’m okay with this
Simply because there is no alternative
Although I’m sure a doctor could give me
Some drug or hormone to change my view.
And being okay with it,
Not resisting or

Our true Self
Self is eternal living light,
God’s heartbeat, suffused with delight,
existing beyond time and space,
held there by God in close embrace,
meaning no difference remains,
for in heaven there are no chains.
Self-existent, feeling complete,
delighting in Its own heartbeat,
in the eternal now present,
driven by pure, childlike intent,
Its thoughts instantly manifest,
what heart seeks being by God blessed.
Tempests of desire when we

Knowing My True Self
I walk forward,
Not with fear,
But with quiet faith
Knowing I am being led
Knowing that when the time comes
To meet my Creator,
I will stand tall—knowing
I’ve done my best to live on purpose,
With love, with integrity.

Discovering our true Self
To invoke God’s grace, we slow down life’s pace,
that we may cognise each offered surprise,
beholding in wonderment bliss beats rise
in the cave of our heart, soul’s dwelling place.
On recognising life is not a race,
we distance presence from the web of lies
spawned by lower mind, whence our ego dies
and then we see our true Self, face

I Am The Light
I am as I’ve always been,
born of stars, of dust, of flame.
The light that lingers past the dark
still knows me by my truest name.
No wound can steal the love I hold,
no loss can dim my spirit’s grace.
I stand through every storm I meet,
bound steady to all time and place.
This body bends, the bones may break,
yet

My true self wanders through other realms
My true self wanders through other realms,
Far from my life, invisibly, it roams endlessly, free of burdens.
In oceans of dreams and sparkling stars, it is born,
Where no moment of the present can ensnare it.
On fields of the aurora borealis, my steps melt into the wind,
Wandering like a leaf in an astral dance of light,
In the

How To Find Our True Self
when aspect of us that is not
becomes good humoured
equal through highs and lows
feeling God in each breath
ego relinquishing all doership
becomes silence of space
in, within but not of the world
whereupon bubble bursts
that that never was disappears
then all that is is Self alone
which always was, is and will be
living light eternal within
now cognised in the waking

Embrace Your True Self
Embrace your true self
By Michelle Morris
10/02/2021
Cradled in your soul is the essence of your being.
You are pure light and love.
No one can take away your incandescence.
As you embrace your true self, you transform into a sphere of everlasting and glowing beauty.
If you could see that brilliance shining brightly, you would know that the universe

True Self Is Still Hidden
The true self is still hidden
For me it's not too sudden
Still immature to travel alone
And a girl that is not flown
It's a story of fairy with unconscious feeling like dreams
Of becoming an Astronaut and fly like have wings
My faith in world is fading slowly
Like I'm walking towards darkness daily
Yesh it's a story of a fairy
Loving,

The Colour of True Self
A brand new life of pleasing exposition
Is what lays before you, adore it
Love the challenge to foster thy ambition
And be fruitful but never learn to quit
Bright blue is the colour of life
In trouble, courage should be bright
Never permit the blue when you are to laugh
Seasons are flexible, afraid not of fright
You are shown to

No Shadows After Sunset
Long human silhouettes at eventide.
Dry lips, coruscating eyes, hungry souls, a lakefront view.
Water shimmering in the diffracted coral beam; upcoming moonlight.
Pair of warm and cold hands.
Cool evening breeze against golden and olive skin.
Fleeting instants after 6 p.m.;
Perfect moments don't last long,
Seconds of solace,
Concealed is the day by azure-colored ripples.
Will they lose themselves too?
Like
