01A Deep Dive
While politics and religion have been crucifying, murdering
and confusing for thousands of years, God is safely hiding inside of you.
Nameless. Eternal. Pouring Perfect Love from an
invisible waterfall high, within and above you.
Bubbling peace from a well spring deeply buried inside of you.
A precious gift awaits.
Take a breath and go for a deep dive and find out for yourself.
02A Gentle Kiss
The you, YOU think is You
Is not who you are
So who are you?
The you, YOU feel is you
is not who you are
So who are you?
The YOU who wants and wishes and desires for more
Is not who you are
So who are you?
Someone is sleeping, dreaming deeply
Deep within you
Be very quiet now
And go and give them a gentle kiss
03A Long Time
All of this has been going on for a long, long time
If you look closely you can see all the stains on the carpet
Before you came to the party
Your parents were drunk
Vomiting on the floor
And your grandparents before that
I know you like to kill people in video games
But those are real blood stains on the floor
Where do you think that madness goes?
No matter how much noise you make
History is louder
It isn’t the way you think it is
And it has been that way
For a very long time.
04Allow the Waters to Settle
All that thinking stirs up the mud.
You cannot get your clothes clean
by washing them in dirty water.
What you are looking for will only become clear
When your waters are still.
Then the reflection will reveal itself.
That is not to say stirring the waters is a bad thing.
Storms will come after a hot summers day.
Allow the waters to settle
Let the storms come and go on their own.
They don’t need your help
Your job is to wait and listen.
If you suddenly wake up on a train
a hundred miles from home
get off at the next stop and quietly walk back.
Tomorrow you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
05Appetite
All this complaining about the way things are
Is like the pigs in the sty saying
“The shit doesn’t taste like it used to you know”
If you want to live in the pig sty
This is the way of things
But if you want to leave
For the forest
And green meadows beyond
Then you need to come to your senses
And start seeing the farm for what it is
The pigs that are running the show
Do not have your best interests at heart
They plant misery, conflict and confusion
To produce low vibrational energy
This energy is food for their masters
Who have a much bigger appetite than the pigs.
06Awakening
What is awakening
And what is asleep?
A giant is awakening –
The giant of human consciousness.
Everyone is a cell in that body.
Once enough cells have awakened
the body will rise
And cast off the chains
Of human ignorance that,
In a drunken stupor,
We have dreamed
Have shackled us to impotence
But this is not so.
07Come Alive
Your mind is a coffin.
Get out before the lid closes shut.
Your thoughts are the nails
and your beliefs the hammer.
There is no freedom in mind.
No peace
and worst of all no love.
Why filter the wine of Life?
Drink it straight
and walk away from the graveyard
singing love songs.
08Communion
So many reasons to resist this union
The flow of Life birthing communion
Two lovers meet for the very first time
Souls find peace
As bodies intertwine
Fresh spring rain falls
On an ancient craggy mountain
Flowers of Goodness grow
In the innocence of connection
Opposites attracting
Through extreme divergence
Two souls merging in timeless convergence
So many reasons to resist this union
The Flow of Life
birthing communion
Her being is saying yes
To Opening a little deeper
Through the depth
The love gets sweeter
We took a dive
Into unknown waters
And then to integrate
What life has taught us
It’s only the beginning
Diving in clear blue ocean
So many secrets in life’s magic potion
So many tones and colours of being
As Fear chains dissolve
In Soul fragments freeing
The first wobbly steps
Of a fast-growing child
Brave hearts facing
The call of the wild
So many reasons to resist this union
The flow of life
Birthing communion
A great divide between two mountains
A tiny gap between Love Fountains
The mystery, the blessing,
The power, the call
The adventure, the journey
The rise and the fall
The growth, the bond
The courage to trust
The gift life is offering
Is more than enough
So many reasons to resist this union
The flow of life
Birthing communion.
09Confusion
There’s so much confusion
In this unholy fusion
Of consciousness ego and world
The only truth is what you feel
No matter what you read
Or what you’ve heard
The news is alive
A living transmission
That emptiness
Is spiritual hunger
You cannot fill it
With the world
Infinite love
Eternal peace
The beauty of the presence of Life
Is waiting for you to do your time
And leave that prison
Like a good and faithful wife
Who will always be there
Tending the hearth
While in your lonely cell
You endure the passing years
As she sits in the garden
In her soulful beauty
Crying her lovely tears
10Crushing It
They cut the last tree down today
No one was there watching or protesting
Most everyone was at the Pride parade
They had it at school this year
All the kindergarten teachers were there
Waving their flags and dancing
Everyone else was on Mars
Racing electric cars
For crypto prizes
The rest were in the smart city
Grinding and racing time
Crushing it is so awesome
Who needs trees anyway.
11Die
Die to who you think you are,
Drown yourself in the waterfall of light you have been ignoring all your life. While you are stumbling around in the house with the lights off,
The whole universe is singing love songs for you.
Look up and smile.
12Disconnected from Nature
Disconnected
Insensitive
Stuck in mental programs on repeat
Bewildered
Numb
Bombarded by conditioning
Pretending to be happy
Hypnotized
Fake
Peace less
Sleepless
Agitated
Disturbed
Confused
Vaccinated
Moving along a conveyor belt
Actually
Going nowhere
Deeper into doom
Glorifying nonsense
Nerves jangled by constant noise
And over stimulation
Stuck in traffic
Wearing designer gear
Made in sweatshops
Paid on credit
To who?
You don’t even know
Do you?
13Diving In
It was really windy yesterday
And the waves were strong
With lots of black seaweed
Washing up on the stony beach
And hundreds of jellyfish.
I ignored my tiny inner voice
And went for a rough ocean swim
Took a few stings
And then a real bad one.
Swimming naked in jellyfish
Is not always a good idea.
Sometimes it’s better to wait on the shore
And have a good think about things
Before you go diving in.
14Guidance
I’m in the wrong place here
I must have missed the turning on the road
I better go back
What? This is a one-way street!
God is like Google maps
No matter how many times
We ignore the promptings
The solution will be delivered
With dispassionate calm
Turn on your inner guidance
And find your way back home.
15Heading to Love
I am heading for Love
And peace
And togetherness
And beauty
And stillness
I am going to make a garden
And sing
And dance
And live on gratitude
And touch souls
And use the beauty of tenderness
To find the Light in the darkness
And to live
To truly live
And to be strong again
Like I used to be
Before I had an i-phone
16High Tech Death
There’s death in the skies
Falling down in the rain
Pouring aerosol trails
Containing Bill Gates potions
While down below
Chaotic commotion
The active laziness
Of distracted hordes
Survival reflex
Connecting etheric cords
To astral forces
And hidden powers
Adding to the chaos
Broadcasting from cell phone towers
And 5G satellites
Make Elon more billions
While sound bite gossip
Distracts soul starved minions
With 3 second attention spans
There is no focus
Just a deepening hypnosis
And hocus pocus
Of dark magicians
With high tech wands
Casting spells
With movies and songs
When you’re ready to connect
Let me know
And we’ll head to the nature
And watch flowers grow
17Hour after Hour
Hour after hour
Day after day
Month after month
Year after year
They spray death in the sky
We are living in a high-tech haze
If you can’t see it
You are living in a daze
You don’t need a million dollars
You don’t need an electric car
You don’t need more protein
You don’t don’t need botox and silicone tits
But you do need to look up
Open your eyes
And ask why?
18I Have Fought on the Side of Evil
I have fought on the side of evil
Done battle ‘gainst all that is good
Resisted this transformation
as much as ignorance could
But life is not a question
of upon which side do I stand
Life is about accepting
What in Truth I am
19Is there a Cure?
It’s all peaceful here in the countryside
Well the birds are busy
Chattering away
Sharing the news of the day
One of them is telling birdie jokes
Cracking the rest of them up
But that’s what sparrows do
When the sun sets.
The day is settling down now
In green and gold hues
And the air is cooling a bit.
There’s no human noise at all
Only the sound of far-away dogs
Barking at their own echoes.
I’m looking at these old stone walls again
Marvelling at the living story
Written in yellow rock
Tracing across the contours
Of the landscape
Perfectly aligned with all the natural things.
When did we get so out of alignment
With life’s natural rhythms and flows?
I wonder what disease caused
Such blindness and deafness
To the way things can perfectly co-exist?
It’s a terrible sickness
I wonder if there is a cure?
20Nature Food
Oh I don’t like this city dream anymore
It’s turned into a nightmare
All that noise, rushing, stuffing, huffing and puffing.
I’m off to the forest for some peace
And to listen only to birds, trees and insects
And take long swims in the ocean
And feed my soul nature food
Because it’s starving round here.
21Nothing is the way You think it is
The world you think is your reality
Is an energy mirror you feel.
What you think you see
Is a reflection of your own mind.
If you want to see with real eyes
Then close the physical ones,
Plug up your ears.
Let your breath become still.
Soften your gaze.
Smile.
Look up, inside.
And open your heart
To the invisible mystery of yourself.
You are going to have to face that darkness one day
So, you may as well begin.
Remember it’s all a mirror made of energy
Inside and out.
Be kind and gentle to it
And it will do the same to you.
Wait.
Be patient. This could take a while.
You may be an old soul
That means you’ve been around
For a long time.
And you’ve been busy
Burying things in the darkness
Things that life doesn’t need.
Don’t worry
They will all come up.
Rising naturally on their own.
Just let them float through you
And pass away.
Just feel everything
And let it go.
Nothing is the way you think it is.
22Open a Love Account
You are sick because you do not love enough.
You have rented your beautiful house out
To a bunch of neurotic psychotics
And moved in with the pigs.
Why?
Because you do not know how to love.
The rent money isn’t real.
You cannot use it to pay the bill
At the end of your life.
Open a love account and start investing daily.
23Open Your Heart Branches
I’m in the forest again.
The trees are very quiet today.
Even the birds are whispering.
Everything is so respectful of being.
The silence is lovely.
The stillness is bliss.
There’s millions of pine needles everywhere
Do you think I should tidy them up?
Or just leave them be
The way nature let them fall?
Over the hill there is so much fuss,
Monday morning
and the grumbling rumble of cars
and non-smiling faces.
But it’s not Monday here.
The insects don’t know what day it is
Maybe not even the birds.
I wonder if I should tell them.
The trees probably know
But they don’t care.
That’s what happens
When you put your roots in deep enough
And open your heart branches
to the infinite sky.
24Poetry for the Revolution
Why are you voting for the monsters and pigs?
Playing their political game?
The ancient ruse, an illusion of choice
Between two sides that are One and the same?
Transcend the matrix within thyself
Find the portal of your soul
And prepare to receive
From the Living Truth
The only thing within you
That can never be stole.
25Poetry in Motion
Sunshine and blue skies
Almost no breeze
Just me and the silence
The birds and the trees
The silence of the forest
The liquid beauty of the ocean
The twinkling stars at night
Is all poetry in motion.
26Prayer
What you are praying to lies within you
Closer to you than yourself
It is buried beneath a mountain of mind
And is the source of your true wealth
Invisible boundless and nameless
The presence of Life itself
The mountains name is I
Your dense immovable true self
27Pretending
The frightened bird in the mirror cage
Attacks its reflection
Over and over
Sometimes pecking
Sometimes squawking
Sometimes hiding away
From what it perceives
Which is what it projects.
Spinning in this way
Stuck on the surface of itself
A fish pretending it is a bird
Take a deep dive my friend
28Rise
The human world
Has become such a noisy place
Yet stillness, serenity and peace
Lie just beyond and above it.
If you feel like you are sinking
Or that confusion, fear and overwhelm
Are dominating within
Then rise.
Rise within yourself
To that happy, peaceful, blissful place
To which you have access
All the time.
Rise.
Within and above you
By smiling
And leaving yourself behind.
29Someone
What are you doing dragging that dead body around with
you,
Trying to hide the stinking thing?
Bring it out into the sunshine and let it go.
Sing your soul songs and cry your grief tears,
Pray for your ancestors
and go and dance naked in the woods.
There is someone over there you need to meet.
30Soul Wars
Fragile psyches
Living in fear
Minds being raped
Every day of the year
Through penetrating gossip
Delivered in a high-tech syringe
Enough Trivia and bullshit!
Info disease, to make you cringe
As media conglomerates
Constantly posit
Poisoned agendas
From which they profit
A bi polar perspective
Designed to trigger
To increase the figure
Of the bottom line.
Numbers don’t lie
In money driven markets
It’s shoot to kill
Celebrity targets
And there is no mercy
It’s a savage place
Just feed those rats
And make them race
Faster and faster
As time is compressed
Who is the strongest?
Who is the best?
As the masses argue
Discuss and consider
An invisible hand pulls the trigger
And through the trap door
Consciousness slides
Into misery
via confusion
In the great divide
Separation from wholeness
Unity within
For judgment is
The original sin
Year after year
False beliefs and fears.
The emotional schism
Thought constructs - a prison.
The groove is made
The needle is stuck
Behaviour repeats
And everything’s fucked.
Unless?
31Spend Time in the Garden
How is it possible to make so much noise
All this talking about absolutely nothing
What a con job
The perfect heist
They give you the world
And silently take your soul
The good Doctor once said
Depression is a natural response
To the desecration of life
But your self-esteem is so low
You cannot conceive of your holiness
You are like a man who has been living with the pigs
Behind his own beautiful mansion
With lovely gardens and a beautiful wife
Waiting
Weeping in the kitchen
For him to come
And share the love food
No matter what I tell you about that house
And that woman
And that sacred food
All you can smell is pig shit
Well it’s going to take a while to get that smell out of your head
Maybe you should start by moving out of the pig sty
And spending some time in the garden
32Sunset
I watched one evening in awe
As England turned her back
Upon a golden summer sun
That in splendour had no lack.
And as the day in greenness,
Lay down upon a bed of living love,
I sank to ground on bended knee
And praised the source of that sweet love.
Tears of mine began to fall
As perfection did unfold.
And I was overwhelmed
By the vision I beheld:
Fountains of green pouring from aged trunks
Bursting heavenward from the ground,
And with crows a caw and foxes barking
The magic of England gave sound.
And the barley, O the barley
Made love with the light of the sun.
And all was bathed in redness
As the moment seemed to come.
And reaching for my pen,
To capture this in words
I suddenly felt inept,
Utterly absurd!
This was not a time for writing
What never could be wrote,
This was a time for dancing,
The inner fire to stoke.
So, I danced on waves of Barley
To a music of an evening in Summer
As God made love with creation
And I beheld The Lovers.
33Sweet Surrender
That sensitive intelligent being
Buried more deeply in all
Has a silent, still, clear voice
Which louder and louder doth call.
It calls for wings of freedom
From the needs of the animal self
Divinely infused forgiveness
Brings it perfect health
And as it rises within you
Your eyes will open clear
As clarity from confusion
In your mind begins to appear
For the mystery the world doth seem
To those who do not know
Will reveal itself quite clearly
As your Divine connection grows
And this is sweet surrender
Death to the egos health
When silence and stillness prevail
Nothing is left
But Self
34Take off the Blindfold
While monsters are eating your children
Planning to steal your soul
Are you stuffing your faces with emptiness
Talking and thinking fools gold?
While monsters are eating your children
Planning to steal your soul
Are you trapped in social media distraction
Ignoring the story so old?
While monsters are eating your children
Planning to steal your soul
Are you struggling in financial survival
Paying the debts to them you owe?
While monsters are eating your children
Planning to steal your soul
Are you bringing your light to the darkness
And taking off the hi-tech blindfold?
35The Airport
The world is like a busy airport
When everyone’s flight is delayed
After a while,
All that noise
Is going to get to you.
And no matter how hungry you are
You are going to get sick of that food.
Another coach load of passengers arrives
And still the pilot is nowhere to be found.
36The Cage
The Cage you call your reality is a counterfeit world.
You are drugged, being date raped by your own ego.
That reflection you see in the mirror is not who you are
If you want a real mirror, go travel the whole world with a smile on your face and take all the small roads.
37The Creaking Door
Would you listen all night to a creaking door
Flapping in the wind?
Or would you get up and oil the hinges and fasten it closed?
Why listen to yourself whining?
No one leaves a screaming child for too long.
Wake up and do what needs to be done.
38The Dark Room
Life is not what you think it is
And you are not who you believe yourself to be
Something far greater and deeper is afoot.
All this running around in fear
Pretending to believe politicians and media
Is just a big game you have to play
Until you have the courage
To look inside yourself
Find the secret door
To your darkest hidden rooms
And go down there
And find the wounded, broken part
You have spent your whole life hiding from
Bring it into the light of your own conscious awareness
Stay with it, feed it with your tears
and watch the emptiness fill
with the Glorious Presence of Yourself.
39The Dream
Man, this is a noisy place
And who let all these people in here
And gave them so much to drink?
When the children find the box of matches
There will surely be a fire.
I want to wake up from this dream
And get back to the garden of peace.
40The Fish
“Don’t believe in things you can’t see!”
Replied the fish
When his friend was trying to explain
About birds and the sky.
Just because there are shadows
And the occasional fish disappears
Doesn’t mean this theory of yours is true
When suddenly he vanished into the light.
41The Garden Road
You will notice that every step you take
the road appears to meet you
and the more you love the faster the flowers grow.
Everyone has their own path
and for some strange reason
most folks are running in the opposite direction,
charging towards the cliffs.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Before you go running down the road with everyone else
Making so much noise.
I want you to meet someone.
You have to be very, very quiet and look with your heart.
Wait, be patient now.
Take a deep breath
And another.
This could take a while.
So, you best take off that armor
and put down your weapons
and while you are at it turn that noisy radio off
which keeps changing channels every 2 seconds
all on its own.
Now, let’s go inside that lovely garden.
42The Golden Eggs
What are you doing stumbling around with that bucket
on your head.
Stop banging it with sticks and taking selfies.
Take the damn thing off and open your eyes and breathe
this freedom air.
All this running around, tripping over things,
making such a fuss,
is like a drunken farmer sleeping,
snoring loudly,
dreaming the chickens are running away
all over the countryside.
Wake up and go and collect the golden eggs.
43The Higher Self
There is a better you
Who does not have a name
And has never lived in this world.
Above you. Within you.
Beyond all your talk and thought
Another you exists.
Bigger, more powerful
And much closer to God than you are.
Smile.
Close your eyes and imagine.
Allow yourself to merge
And feel
What it means to be truly alive.
44The Holy Presence
Free of oneself
Presence only is.
The gigantic insatiable cacophony of noise
Generated by the unceasing activity of all living things
Is all absorbed into silence.
Even the noisiest tavern,
When the guests have drunk their fill,
Becomes a silent place
45The Horse
No matter how well you train the horse
It is still going to shit on the floor
I suppose we shouldn’t expect too much.
What about the million sperms
That don’t make it to the egg?
Are they all losers as well?
Not all the flowers turn into fruits
And of those that do
Most get eaten by the birds
Many fall and rot on the ground
And maybe one or two
Are picked perfectly ripe
And presented to the king of the land.
46The Internet Guru
The internet guru
Who Talks loudly (usually while eating)
Always dominating the conversation with her opinion
and point of view
Is a tour guide in the Labyrinth
Distracting you from darkness
and the inevitability of reaching another dead end
As the half man half bull
Is roaring his tormented lament
Remember it only goes quiet
When he is eating children
Did you bring your sword?
And do you have the golden thread?
47The Keys
What does the frog in your garden pond
Know about the great rivers and oceans of life?
Just because an ant is walking on a falling Autumn leaf
Does not mean it can fly.
And you? Are you still looking outside of your self
For the keys to your freedom and peace?
People like that
Are like students in class
Looking at the wall.
Turn around
And you might learn something
From the great teacher inside.
48The Monkeys
Somebody gave the monkeys iPhones
And they are ordering plastic bananas on Amazon
The Vikings are playing video games
Laughing and getting real fat
The farmers are playing monopoly and there are only 3 left in the game
But they all have a million acres
Growing GMO everything breaking records in weight
But there’s no nutrition inside it
Just toxic hi tech data
The politicians are broken children
With terrible secrets to hide
They meet in smoky rooms
Cowering before deep voices in the darkness where they hide
All the warriors are lining up for castration
Their balls clipped by Doctor Ego Lies
While Nurse Fear greed and procrastination
delivers the vaccinations
And the monkeys are all on YouTube
Telling you the way they think it is
Making money on the plastic bananas
And churning out more kids
49The Monster Becoming God
What the terrible beast?
Forces of unimaginable power
Primal, ancient, primeval
Driving dinosaurs to their finest hour
And shrunken men
Weakened by ego and greed
Looking outside ourselves
For our inner essential need
Are the pathetic containers of infinity,
Expected how to last?
As we quake and tremble together
In the reconciliation of ages past
For within our fragile psyches
That marvellous shell of the soul
Is every character and detail
Since forever the days of old
And like mighty oceans meeting
At the tip of some outcrop of rock
The currents that move within us
Can never ever be stopped
50The Mystery
From God, through Love, in Spirit and Soul,
Sleeping infinity, in eternity unfolds,
That I unbound receive the gift
With waters of Life have now been kissed.
To wander far, from the sweetest nest,
Immeasurable miles, yet never had left.
Thus, the mystery, ever to solve: What is this Constancy that does not evolve?
The stories spin, weaving the web,
The gods and angels dance with the dead.
The choices we make are not who we are,
Yet may lead us home from afar.
And through our pain, illusions crack,
What fear has stolen, love gives back.
Thus, the mystery ever to solve:
What is this Love that does not evolve?
There we stand together in form
An Almighty canvas cannot long stay torn.
What appears to be, may not be so
As all is rent, this we know.
The Ocean breathes a mighty sigh,
Cosmic waves are surely nigh,
Are you ready for what must be?
The fruit must fall from the mighty tree.
Thus, the mystery ever to solve:
What is this Peace that does not evolve?
We are what we are and forever are held
No matter the beliefs to which we weld;
There is a fire to melt this false bond,
Within your heart burns its sacred song
What now seems solid, in chains of fear
Like candle wax, will disappear.
Thus, the mystery ever to solve:
What is this Light that does not evolve?
An eternal garden in which we play,
The children dream another day.
Forever the wonder together we spin
Until we let go, to that which we cling.
So off to the stars to spread the good news,
The perfect gift we never could lose.
Thus, the mystery ever to solve:
What is this Purity that never evolves?
From pure love, spirit unfolds,
The story of love now is told;
You and I, a dream come true,
What the future will we sculpt anew?
This the gift, ever to cherish,
The Love we are never can perish.
Thus, the mystery ever to solve:
What is this Compassion that does not evolve?
And so, the mystery through us revealed
The seeds of God, in a cosmic field.
To feel Love in unconscious mobs
Express Itself, against all odds.
The world is poised, are you ready to see?
To know what you are, what you always will be?
Thus, the mystery ever to solve:
What is this Wonder that does not evolve?
51The News
When you have had enough
Of your eating and drinking
Look up and see
the great human ship sinking.
Run aground
on the rocks of greed
Loaded with too much
Of what it don’t need.
Driven by captains
Monsters in disguise
And political pigs
Writhing in lies
The whole thing stinks
Can you smell it yet?
Better wake up quick
To place your bets.
What are the odds
Of the hypnotized masses
Finding a pair of Spirit Bird glasses?
And see what it is
This counterfeit version
A “made in China” reality
Of Everyone’s hurting.
The story is deep
And ever so old
Full of things you never been told
Parasites live
On a rotting Carcass
The family tree
with its roots in Tartarus.
As the old shell sinks
Drowning in fears
Take a Holy Breath
And be of good cheer
Nothing as false as this survives
will you let it go and come alive?
The spiritually dead are rocking the beat
Lost in busy ness and 5G streets
Well we’ve fucked it here
So, let’s move to Mars
We can drink plastic water
And drive electric cars
Who needs the spirit
When you can have your phone?
Who needs Unity when You can be alone?
As they manufacture
The insect society
Upgraded with
Technological proprietary
Remember one thing in your new Nike shoes
Monsters and pigs are running the news
52The Penguins
Just because you have found a great big iceberg
And are busy on the surface taking all your measurements
Calculating everything
Doesn’t mean you have made a great discovery
90% of the thing is under the water
The penguins know more than you
And they don’t have any of your scientific equipment.
53The Silent Lovebirds
What do you say to someone who has lost the keys to his house and forgotten where he lives?
Arriving in the next town, like an American tourist making too much noise
shouting in the street “I am the man!”
All the noise you make only disturbs your silent lovebirds in their nesting.
Every time they flap their wings, you have a new idea.
All your busyness is like a little boy
throwing stones into a pristine lake;
the stillness is where the secrets of the moment rise.
All this fussing around trying to hide your broken cup
what do you think will happen
when the ocean pours into that little thing?
All those glues you are using
trying to fix the cracks
are like a very ugly woman caked thick with cheap make-up
as long as the lights are low and the men are drunk
she might get laid
but in the morning?
Throw the glue away
and use the brokenness to set you free
and go and dance in bare feet
and bow to the rising sun inside of you
but do it
without disturbing the nesting lovebirds.
54The Silent River
There is a Silent River in our lives we must surely follow
With courage and knowing
all is well
On and to tomorrow.
Carried we are, never alone
By Its Perfect Force and tide
Try we must
to have the strength
To let go and flow with the ride.
Born we are, One and All,
Into and from Its Nature
Boundless and free like The River are we
If we go to where It would take us.
Sisters and brothers
we have but lost
All sight of the invisible Force
And sit on the banks
Of our dry souls
Wishing for something to direct our course.
But all the while we live and breathe
In the waters of eternal knowing
The Silent River runs wild and free,
Unknown... It feeds our growing.
If we all live in this mad world
Unaware we are part of The Source
What new world shall we create
When we open to Its beauty filled Force?
Sisters and brothers open mind and heart
Let The River flood without from within,
Arid the valley old ones have left
Young fish now have to live in.
And we, no better than their like,
If we wait to be shown The Way,
Now is the time to join the many
Learning of Truth today.
The River is Life, the essence of all,
Never ending and natural change
That is our Nature
Baptized in the waters,
All become The Saved.
Acknowledge The Spirit,
The Source of Life,
The only thing that will Always exist,
No one can discover
The Force of Life
If Its current they try to resist.
Just sit in peace
By the banks of Self,
Listen to thy waters run
Calm the flow of your thoughts,
Let a Silent River come.
Breathe and know
Trust that you are,
All a Great River should be;
Alive and pure,
Clean and strong,
Wild and truly free.
55The Strange Man
Sitting next to this guy
On the plane
One seat between us
But far more separates us I hope
What a reflection
Like a man with fleas
He is scratching and twitching disease
Strangely enough he keeps banging his crotch
Sending a shudder through the seats
Nervously on his phone
Swiping
Texting
reading
Watching
Scrolling
Feeding something beneath
An invisible mystery is being fed
Something with insatiable appetite
And as I survey this very strange reflection
I am right glad it’s a very short flight.
56The Sunshine
If you take the time to wake up early
And stick your head above the fog of human confusion
You will feel the sunshine of the pure spirit of Life
And you will be illuminated by its Light
And that Light will awaken flowers of understanding
And bees of inspiration will buzz in the clarity of the dawn
And you will radiate the fragrance of the Pure Goodness of Life
But if you don’t wake up early in the morning
And stick your head above the fog of human confusion
You will live in the misty world and be just like the rest of them.
57The Way of Things
Civilisations come and civilisations go
They make a lot of noise and a terrible fuss
Yet, in time
Become nothing but dust.
And you?
What are you going to do in all of this?
Make a big noise and pretend you know what life is?
Or merge with nature
And become like water,
Closer to the way of things?
58Therapists who don’t know about the Soul
Until you know you are dealing with a soul
You are like the mad scientist
who has been given a whale trapped in a bucket
The bucket has a very small hole wherein pours the ocean in tiny drops
No matter how much you shake that bucket
You will not understand the problem of the whale.
59Warrior Poets Arise
Did you cave into the pressure they gave you?
Or did you stand in the fire and burn?
And walk the lonely road
Towards that which your soul doth yearn
Are you drowning in the chains they made you
Or did you find the lock and key
And refused the mask that they gave you
With hands that now are free?
Did you bow down to the mass of conformity
That floods like a bloated tide?
Or did you swim with the currents inside you
That brings you truly alive?
Are you struggling along on the surface
Obsessed
with image and looks and porn
Or are you diving deep in the depths
Boundless and free of form?
Death awaits for all around the corner
A potent medicine, enemy or friend?
Defined only by the moments of kindness
And in the blessed stillness
Of Divinity you spend.
60We Belong Together
The lizards are looking for something to eat
Chasing each other around
Climbing up on smooth white stones
And catching the early morning sun.
The hotter it gets the faster they move
I’m a bit like that. Are you?
Everything is enjoying the early morning light.
Oops! A big fly just buzzed off a stone
When the lizard came to eat him.
Now the lizard is on the stone
Just enjoying the sun.
The spider’s webs are glistening
Some tiny insects are quietly floating about.
The pine cones are opening
And everything just seems to belong together
If only we didn’t make so much noise and fuss
Maybe we would as well.
61What else are you here to do?
Burn the walls of your mental prison by pouring the
gasoline of love on your tiny glowing soul flame.
Come alive and blaze.
Come alive and live! For God’s sake live!
What else are you here to do?
62What You Were Born to Do
The world is a mirror. It always has been.
A virtual reality made of energy
for consciousness to awaken within.
That’s it.
If you don’t know this is true
You are dreaming a happy dream,
a nightmare or, a bit of both.
Either way, one day, maybe when you die,
You are going to have to wake up.
Our unresolved traumas
And non-integrated shadows
Appear outside of us
As shocking global events we can watch on the news
Calmly stuffing ourselves
With whatever it is
That keeps us from feeling
The dark truth inside.
Wake up and take a deep dive
And open your heart eyes.
It isn’t what you think it is
And only the thing you need to expose is frightened.
If you are looking for the Light out here in the mirror world
And can’t see it
You can bet your boots
It’s hidden under your own inner darkness.
So, before Life does it for you,
rip up the floor boards of the house
You have built for your persona,
Open the dusty old trap door underneath,
follow the stairs down
And Go and find it.
It’s what you are born to do.
63When Shit Hits the Fan
Are you wondering whether to buy crypto?
Invest in silver or gold?
Get a neural link fitted quickly
Before you get too old?
But none of this really matters
As you will see in the end,
It’s the twin forces of materialism Dancing
Like two old
And, intimate friends.
Confusion reigns supreme
Because energy boundaries have all disappeared.
It’s the confluence of the ages
And time for the sheep to be sheared
Energy is only a container
For the living being we are
Focus on the centre
Like a tiny shining star
And if you can handle emotion
And ride the waves of change
And find the centre of peace
Ever fresh, yet always the same
Then you have found the key
To the glorious heavenly door
Let’s dance across the threshold
And leave behind before.
64Who Would You Be?
Who would you be if you were not the you in the mirror?
Who would you be without all your stories and memories?
Who would you be without your worries and fears?
Who would you be if you just released that grip?
Relax. Surrender. Breathe.
Close your eyes. Smile. Look up and find out.
65Who You Are
While you are stuffing yourself with all that food and drink, news and high- tech gossip
Ever wondered why you are still feeling empty?
If you were only a physical-body
the thing would be stuffed full by now
But you’re not.
Take a deep breath and feed your soul what it is starving for.
Talk as much as you want
you are never going to be able to say it
Think as much as you like
you are never going to be able to figure it out
What you are looking for is who you are
It was with you before you were born
and will be with you after you die
Sit still, be quiet
And listen
Who you are has nothing to say and thinks no thoughts
And lives in a perpetual state of gratitude and wonder.
66Your Greatness
Your greatness lies inside of you.
Buried under fears
Guarded by yapping doubts and barking, snapping negative beliefs
Beyond the swamp of lack of self-belief
And the emotional landscape impressed upon you in the womb
Under the giant castle of your worldly achievements,
through the tomb of your self-loathing
Deeper,
Guarded by the strange creatures of yourself,
A tiny child is patiently waiting with the key to a supernatural door.
