Able To Let Go

It’s time to part
you cannot stay
though we may have
another day
Hold my hand
I’ll stay awake
whatever happens
love remains
Knowing this
I am able to let go

We feel angels 
at our side
soothing us
through day and night
There’s so much spirit
in your eyes
Now I know
how heaven smiles
Knowing this
I am able to let go

Knowing this
I am able 
to let
you
go

Allow

The more we 
allow ourselves 
to feel 
what lives 
deep inside, 
the more familiar 
it becomes to us,
giving us 
the confidence 
to express it

The more 
what lives 
deep inside 
comes out 
and finds 
its way freely,
the better
it can heal 
all that once 
was broken

Expect Sweet Sunshine

small flower looks up
to the sky convinced she may
expect sweet sunshine

Life Is Sweet

Life is sweet,
humming to
a pretty tune
I’ve always known somehow

The notes I hear
the instruments,
the sounds they make
have not yet been invented here

Life is sweet,
colouring
my days with 
harmony within me

Frequencies
of green and blue, 
pink and yellow
cannot describe how I feel

Pinks and yellows
cannot describe
how happy I feel

Embrace with love

If I'm not allowed to fall, 
I can't learn to walk
Through peace with falling, 
I rise again in strong faith
When I climb a mountain, 
I see its lowest point
By peace with the lowest points,
all fears dissipate

Even while traveling, 
I long to stand still
Thanks to such stops, 
the journey feels more intense
Deep below my strength 
I sense there is softness
Thanks to that softness, 
much stronger I am

Do I choose to shine,
it illuminates what seems dark,
not remembered and 
overlong unseen, 
When I embrace with love, 
everything that once fell 
returns to a state 
of purity

And just as I stand still, 
I long to travel
Thanks to the traveling, 
my path unfolds before me
Narrow but passable, 
enlightened by love, 
so if I do fall again?
Then I can only fall…

very softly

Touch of Strength

Ocean waves roll in,
flow, grow, love, kiss, hug, roll out
Touch of strength remains

More Than Good

I hum in the now
and it’s clear that I must
enjoy where-ever I’m going
The road right ahead
is paved with great trust
It tells me whatever Life’s showing
it’s more than good

I am who I am
and that’s all that it takes
to leave all worries behind me
Lift up the darkness 
that clouded my days
Feel the love within me
is more than good

With ease and with grace
I build on this truth
Just whatever path I choose
it’s more than good

Now

Now is where I realize
love is everlasting
When I see your tender smile
I find eternity
We are together through all times,
cannot be divided
Dreams created years ago
now come into sight

Here and now is where we must be
and take a stand be certain
What we want and who we are
focus on our Source
Out of that Source choose all we are:
love and light and laughter,
strenght and truth and harmony,
all we wish to be

Everlasting part 
of Divine Unity

Build on Love

Let’s all hope for what love brings, 
hear with an open mind how each heart sings, 
declare what we really expect, 
listen fully as we reflect, 
so everyone is heard
 
Let's all build on pristine love
Without fear, let us simply choose to trust 
and strive to understand each other,
see beyond the masks that cover,
so everyone is seen
 
Let’s all take steps toward each other, 
lovingly reach out to one and other, 
accept without judgment who we are, 
learn from each other through the heart, 
so each of us feels free 
to be who we’re truly 
meant to be

A start

And now a start is near,
a new day is dawning
And I feel tremendous cheer
for we will recognize 
the morning
of a better day to be,
filled with joy
and harmony

This book ’s about to close
While a new one is opening
We will dare to turn a page,
read out loud it’s lines 
and say:
“It’s a better book for us,
filled with truth
and love
and trust”
