The Life of an Adventurer

A thousand ships through the dark nights sail,
to mysterious lands and adventurous trails.
With a thirst for life, I cannot rest,
when one is finished, there comes another quest.

I travel many paths into the unknown,
with each path completed, I know I’ve grown.
Though dangers lurk at most every turn,
I sense I’m protected; I have no concern.

I try new things all the time,
I’ve never seen a mountain I’d not try to climb.
Life is for living so bring it on,
I’ve never been broken except for a bone.

I’ll keep on a traveling across the seven seas,
Enjoying the adventure, and the ocean’s breeze.

Angels Among Us

Many believe there are angels among us.
Where do these angels come from?
Are they manifest from among us?
If so, how does it happen?

A being in the physical state
seeks the source of its being.
It looks within its current form
for the essence of its being.

Determining that that essence is Spirit in form,
it decides to align itself with the Spirit.
When it is aligned with the Spirit,
there is an enlightenment that reveals the miracle.

By opening its heart and inviting the Spirit within
to flow or live through it.
The person is given power to perform miracles
with the Spirit and become angelic.

These individual or those that we
Commonly refer to as the angels among us.
They’re ordinary spirits that have allowed
The Spirit to love unconditionally through them.

Sense My Love

See my love in the waves of the seas.
Hear my love in rustling leaves in the breeze.

Feel my love in my soft caressing touch.
Share with me a gentle light kiss, not too much.

Like the love shown by a cooing dove,
Through these fleeting moments, sense my love.

Mother Earth

fertile ground was found
     the soil a rich deep dark brown
          the seeds were welcome

An Oath To Truth And Right

Sorrow had passed his way many times,
said the lines across his brow.
His truth was challenged again and again,
but to lies he refused to bow. 


Even in the face of death,
his ground he firmly stood.
He'd taken an oath long years ago,
to always do as he knew he should.

His craving for Truth was beyond his control,
he must stand for Truth and right.
After bloodedly beaten by the cat of nine tails,
there he stood a horrid sight.

The cowards were befuddled, twas six against one,
they demanded at once he must lie.
“Why take all the pain, it's insane,”
they taunted; “you’ll surely die.”

Should he admit to a deed he'd not done?
Should he lie to save his life?
He knew if he did, the lie had won,
making meaningless all his strife.


“Untie my hands, give me a sword,
one against six; I'll fight.
Truth will prevail and have her way,
I’ll gladly accept my plight.

The ropes were cut,
his hands set free.
A sword was thrown to the ground,
and finally found with swollen eyes that could barely see.

He quickly called out to the power within,
“Please overcome my will”!
For a man of love, twas a torturous path,
for six men he'd have to kill.

Then with power he'd never known,
with skills that all seemed new.
The six were slain and Truth had won,
Truth and right had gotten their due.

He lifted his arms and offered his thanks,
to the power that carried him through.
Being faithful to the oath, to be true to himself,
Was the right thing for him to do.

If A Stranger Came Among Us

I wonder what he’d say to me as we strolled along the way.
 I think a truth he’d share with me, and here’s what he might say.
 “It’s not a message you’ll understand, at least not right away.”
 “It will always be here with you, although I cannot stay.”

 “My truth I leave with you, communing with your soul.”
 “Continually meaning more to you, as you age and grow old.”
 “Now your mind is racing, why doth it speak so bold?” 
“I now begin my tale of truth, more valuable than gold.”

 “Life as you know it, is merely a projection.”
 “Ego concoction, physical reflection.” 
“Reality is merely the Soul’s correction.”
 “Revealing to each of you, the ego’s deception.”

 “Have you not heard, better to give than to receive?”
 “While dominated by ego, that’s hard to believe.”
 “When all you do, is think of self, your easy to deceive.”
 “Some of you are not that way, you warrant a reprieve.”

 “Here’s some examples, just a quick start.”
 “Of how one might feel, when giving from the heart.”
 “Not to imply that you’re not very smart.”
 “But this is really an important part.”

 “It doesn’t have to be a present, it might just be a smile.”
 “For many older in this world, it might have been a while.”
 “Or even just a ding-a ling, pick up the phone and dial.”
 “It’s not as if, it’s troublesome, like having to walk a mile.”

 “Go and visit, see them face to face.”
 “Give a small gift, chocolates or lace.”
 “Watch the smile appear, then share an embrace.”
 “These tops receiving, I rest my case.”



 “We’re taught throughout life, to see is to believe.”
 “We must ask and believe and then we receive.”
 “It’s your choice, if you just want to see.”
 “Having it seems better, at least to me.”

 “Now where shall I start as we head down this road.”
 “The first thing we do, is change to slow mode.”
 “Most travel too fast and carry such a load.”
 “There’s no smelling the roses, they’re more likely to implode.”

 “Slow down your pace, so life you can embrace.”
 “There is time for everything, it has it’s time and place.”
 “Embellish each moment, keep an even pace.”
 “Let them blossom slowly, like a smile upon one’s face.”

 “Each day, an adventure, new places and things to see.” 
“Think about the things you want, and who you want to be.”
 “Engage your soul in living life, let yourself be free.”
 “Say to all I’ll do my best, to be the authentic me.”

Flight of a Butterfly

Slowly walking the path of life,
winging with challenge, joy, and strife.
I came upon a butterfly,
floating, flittering in the sky.

So lightly gliding through the air,
I came to a stop, just to stare.
Created with such symmetry,
designed to live a life so free.

Like a butterfly’s flight in wind,
harder at first than in the end.
Life is seen by our perception,
If not aware, by deception.

Like butterflies, go with the flow,
We’ll be shown what we need to know.
