Some poems from me to you
A collection of poetry written for fun, to ease and brighten your spirit
Through the Mist
I put down my fist
and I saw through the mist.
It all became clear,
I had nothing to fear.
I gave my worries away,
deciding the love in me would stay.
As I put down my fist,
I see through the mist.
It all becomes clear,
I have nothing to fear.
I let everything from the past go,
so that I can be present and flow.
Flow like the wind,
surf on a wave,
allow myself to be so brave.
Float on like a cloud,
without being real loud.
Simple and free,
that’s how I’ll continue to be.

Meet Your Soul
Make a noise, when the silence is too loud.
Raise your voice, when there is no crowd.
When silence brings pain, know there will be personal gain.
Sometimes life has a buffer period, where you feel endless suffer, period.
But what does it mean?
Where do we go?
Why does it come?
How does it go?
Just be.
You will see.
That everything will come to pass.
Sometimes not without a little sass.
So make a noise when the silence is too loud.
And raise your voice, even when you have no crowd.
You will see your strength.
You will meet your soul.
And isn’t that the only goal?

Be Kind
Our actions and words are all we have,
Don’t you want to use them to make others glad?
The power you have lies within your mind,
Begin right now to choose thoughts that are kind

Nature's Promise
My face hit the sand,
the bottom of the ocean.
Mouth filled with water,
swallowed in emotion.
To blame the wave that did this to me,
or accept nothing’s at fault, the truth my third eye can see.
I hear the whisper from the sun,
reminding me we are all one.
This too will pass, Nature’s promise is that nothing will last.

Jump
Jumping into the unknown
Is like a dog freed from his constricting neck cone.
Diving into something that isn’t clear
Is like having no idea which way to steer
There is something profound in taking your hands off the wheel
Something liberating in allowing yourself to fully feel
To feel the fear and still push on forward
You’re not going backwards, only toward.
Closer to where your spirit wants you to go
In the direction where you’re ascending high, not low.
Jumping into the unknown and taking your hands off the wheel
Will show you that your strength is as strong as steel.
There’s nowhere to be and nothing to prove
Just release control, it’s all you gotta do.

Illusion
I held on tight, clinging to this rope
thinking somewhere I’d find some hope
The rope filled with knots of desires and fears
stemming from the space between my two ears
As I cling to this rope, blood emerges through my hand
revealing the deep fear of being safe on this land
The safety of this rope
what an illusion
for what is created out of fear,
is always a delusion.

Sparkle of Dust
Who am I
Do you know who I am
I am nothing more than a grain of sand
A sparkle of dust, spinning on this plane,
infinite energy that will never wane
Who am I
I am you and you are me
Is this strange for you to know and see
You are a sparkle of dust
ready to combust
to be freed from the bondage you created
escaping the flames that are now outdated
A sparkle of dust, is that all we are
just a ball of energy, or better yet, a star?

Reflection
What you see in me
Is inside of you.
What you see in others
is in there too.
Once you see that everything is a reflection
You can begin to change your perception.
Every day brings new lessons,
there is so much to learn by asking your own questions.
What can you learn
Ask and you shall see
that the infinite lessons, come with no fee.

A Cosmic Dance
To dance with the universe
To go with the flow
To move and shake your body
And to always be strong and know.
That you’ve got to fly like a bird
Stay true to your word.
Be the best you with no excuse
By doing that you have nothing to lose.
Give all your love,
First to yourself and then to others
Pour the love from your glass
You have so much to pass.
Pass it to your neighbor and also a stranger
To release emotion from your secret chamber.
Give love to all,
That is your call.
Dance with the seasons
Dance with the stars
Dance all the way from Earth and to Mars.
Dance with your dreams
Dance with your sorrows
Dance all the way through today and tomorrow.
