Laugh Full Out

From the bottom of the heart

Let the voice be clear and loud

Please arise above the ground

Dance and sing and laugh full out

From the depth of the soul

Turn on the engine of hope

Don't let the darkness float

Jump and run and sprint, don't mope

Close your eyes and be in silence

Hear the birds in the morning's aliveness

Stretch out your arms in grandest kindness

Smile with the sun and bow down in genuine gladness

For this brief life is full of surprises

Real Simplicity

come here everyone and everything
lay down in my lap and be at ease
shed all the tears you've gathered through your life
sit still, my darling creatures, and relax

there is no need to hurry to the line
and no room to worry of what's mine
my hand has long been open to you
just take it with no fear- nothing to do

look deeply in my eyes and shed your walls
and fall completely and utterly in love
forget that which you think you want to be
stay close, really near, in real simplicity

Continual Process

a muse an inspiration a pretty dancer
a maze an inquiry a process of manifestation
a dress and skirt and pretty pink bracelet
a sage an angel a true connection
behind the eye a revelation
below the surface a world of nations
beneath the skin a salvation
bewitched bedazzled a desired formulation
to be transformed into the grandest creation

Simply Be

creating a longing
that's deep and true
realizing the work
that is still left to do
sitting down in pleasure
with open hand
having the wisdom
to know when to dive in
and the rest?
that will simply be
