Dawning

The new age dawns, and charms away,
those endless days of gentle grey.
When time limped on in graceless years,
unhurried by relentless tears.

Morning light,
Rainbows arch
Drifting snow
Seasons march.

In that new day we all shall stand,
within the touch of every hand.
No space between to hurt or weep,
the fragile chord that dwells so deep.

Brilliant dawn,
Incredible day,
Deep understanding
Learnt on the way.

Pure love begins in each new heart,
extending warmth becomes a part.
And through this sea of perfect souls,
a one-ness grows, completes the whole.

A precious gem,
A mortal tear,
Sacred breath,
Knows not fear.

No them and us, no me, no you,
No right or wrong or false or true.
Just gracious care and blessed peace,
unending love from sweet release.

Far Skies

Of remembered far skies, so vividly seen,
by the suns’ setting charmed rays of light.
Viewed clouds softly melting, while floating on by,
through blue, mystic canvas twilight.
Then gem stars celestial, show creators’ design,
is perfectly formed in image refined.
The moon starts to rise in an aura of mist,
her crystal creation so clearly defined.
And eyes that stare, go deeper and deep,
perhaps to catch a glimpse of where,
or when, this time began to slowly be,
Or how a truth was awakened there.

Of pure golden light, that bathes every strand,
every fibre of being, with kindness of love.
Such prisms and colours, inspire total vision,
and the soul breathes in hope from above.
Then fondly, so cherished, azures’ perfect robe,
chased over by heavens’ streaked white.
Just drifting and dreamy, no reasoned desire,
balanced and peaceful, no discord in sight.
And endless vast yonder, shot through with pale rays,
surrounded by easement, a hand can not feel.
Glorious horizons see wisps flowing through,
a magical land, enchanted and real.

Turn Around

I caught a moment in time,
just one tiny breath of air.
I held it out, on my hand,
and saw such openness there.
The whole human race, in play,
was right before my eyes.
Using lives, at reckless speed,
bound up, with endless lies.
Needless greed and endless hurt
and wave on wave of pain.
Engulfing every human soul,
in dismal gloom again.

From this mist of shadows drear,
it came with blade held high.
To sanctify our worthless being,
then something else, must die.
Mans inner scream, had formed this shade,
in creeping stealth it came.
The pent up grief, and hopelessness,
the fiend, without a name.
In anger strode this hostile shape,
with vengeance, through the knife.
One dreadful stroke and yet again,
the world had lost a life.

I cried out loud,
 and watched in awe, as all this gloom dissolved.
Turn around,
 breathless still, another scene evolved.
I looked again,
behold a glimpse,
a time within a time.
My heart took flight,
and soared above,
to truth and love divine.

I saw an era, of grace and peace, in a charmed and golden land.
Where man could live, with man once more, 
Where hand, reached out for hand.
With dreams so vivid and defined, a thought, became a friend.
A blissful state, so whole, so wake, this age, will never end.
I can only say, I know, that this, shall come to be.
I have no proof, except my heart, the essence within me.

Little Girl Lost

A little girl standing alone,  
the world is such a bad place.
She turns around and her eyes plead,
to see just one friendly face.
Tears stream down like silent rain,
they fall for all the human race.
Stop crying now, it’s not so bad,
dreams can still come true.
Hope and love, still exist
to take good care of you.


A dreaming child undisturbed,
true innocence is so dear.
Angelic and unreal gently smiles,
while all sweet things are so near.
But the world is waiting to start its lesson
to teach her the meaning of fear.
Dream on my child your time will come,
for doubting all that’s good.
I’d save you from all hurt and pain
if only I could.

A little girl, much older now
she seems so very different.
Gone are the dreams of beauty now
her childhood has been spent.
Tears fall still from knowing eyes,
but for herself they are meant.
What have we done to take away,
her joy in all around.
We let her grow the way we are,
within ourselves we are bound.

Touch

I want to touch you deep inside,
so deep your essence aches.
I want to fill your heart my love,
with warmth my own heart makes.
I want to be beside you now,
so close, we are as one.
No hurt or pain, no blame or lies,
all of these are gone.

I want to feel your very soul,
begin to melt with mine.
I have to hold you here and now,
until the ends of time.
To reach so far within your dream,
to make it almost real,
No tears to burn or sting you love,
just pure embrace to feel.

I feel you touch the openness,
within my inner light.
Exquisite flow of pain and joy,
transformed in sheer delight.
Our closeness will remain a truth,
while time goes on and on,
There is no you and me my love,
forever only one.

Yet I know, it’s all a dream,
a cruel twist of play.
This blissful taste of heavens charm,
recedes in light of day.
Though just a touch, it means so much
of endless pleasures true.
Though just a touch, a silent kiss
is all I have for you.
