<p>Greetings to you all Friends and Family,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here we are, standing before the inevitable . . . CHANGE !!! Many people from all over are coming together with a certain commonality . . . The New Year. We offer to each other the best of our Wishes, Prayers, Intent and Love. I am Grateful !</p>

<p>Greetings to you all Friends and Family,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here we are, standing before the inevitable . . . CHANGE !!! Many people from all over are coming together with a certain commonality . . . The New Year. We offer to each other the best of our Wishes, Prayers, Intent and Love. I am Grateful !</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like to just take this moment in time to speak with you about our own Greatness . . . Individually . . . and of course “Collectively”. This year we have witnessed many movements come about . . . some for Good . . . and some not so. The prevailing aspect of being of “One Mind”, is there is Power. We are witnessing that in such things as the 99% Movement; The 2012 Prophecies; World Healing, World Peace 2012 Movement and unfortunately the War, Famine, Suffering and Strife experienced across this Planet. But . . . perhaps this is also a part of the “<i>Perfect Balance</i>” of Creation in that such things do elevate our consciousness and propel us to “Change”! This is a good thing i think; not the suffering, but the mere “Possibility” that we will awaken as a collective and employ our power to effectuate this “Quickening” to Change.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So this is my intent on a personal level based upon what i believe i have learned thus far in my life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>* If i have it to Give . . . i will</p>
<p>* May i be Clear in my Intent for Goodness</p>
<p>* May i continue without reservation to express my Goodness</p>
<p>* May i always seek to see the Love and Light in my Brothers and Sisters</p>
<p>* May i understand that “My Way” is just that MY WAY !</p>
<p>* And Finally for me . . . May i preface all aspects of my Life with Love.</p>
<p>* May you have a wonderful and Wonder Filled New Year of Joy, Peace, Love and Harmony</p>
<p>* May Each Moment of Goodness upon the path you travel transform into the Eternal</p>
<p>* May you be clear and Understand that YOU are a Magnificent and Essential Element of Creation and Powerful beyond our present Understandings.</p>
<p>* May your Inner Child come out to Play . . .</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blessings of Love</p>
<p> </p>

We spoke of constructing a Poetic collaboration for an upcoming show pertaining "Female Empowerment". In that consciousness being visited upon, spirit brought forth this offering in a Female Voice. As opposed to me offering interpretation i allow you the reader to gather what you will. On an un-final note, i beseech us all to do what we can to eradicate the violence amongst our Brethern and Sisters, and embrace the Humanity by our thoughts, our deeds, and most importantly the sharing of the gifts we have in any way we can at every opportunity. It does come back to us . . . in kind.</p>

<p align="center">where did i go wrong</p>
<p align="center">he used to complete me</p>
<p align="center">and now he beats me</p>
<p align="center">where did i go wrong</p>
<p align="center">i used to paint</p>
<p align="center">i used to dance</p>
<p align="center">but life has taken away my song</p>
<p align="center">this day</p>
<p align="center">so i play with the shadows</p>
<p align="center">of memories</p>
<p align="center">i remember love</p>
<p align="center">yet i feel</p>
<p align="center">and now she acts like</p>
<p align="center">she does not know me</p>
<p align="center">anymore</p>
<p align="center">she walked out that door</p>
<p align="center">long ago</p>
<p align="center">but she left her pictures</p>
<p align="center">on the mantle</p>
<p align="center">within my heart</p>
<p align="center">how i longed for her sweet embrace</p>
<p align="center">endearing touch</p>
<p align="center">just a smile even</p>
<p align="center">her scent</p>
<p align="center">i often lived with hope</p>
<p align="center">that she would move back in</p>
<p align="center">when she first departed</p>
<p align="center">and since then</p>
<p align="center">all hell broke out</p>
<p align="center">bringing with them</p>
<p align="center">my fears and my doubts</p>
<p align="center">pertaining my worthiness to live</p>
<p align="center">i gave all i could give</p>
<p align="center">but that apparently</p>
<p align="center">was not good enough</p>
<p align="center">for him</p>
<p align="center">yes i realize</p>
<p align="center">the road was tough</p>
<p align="center">for him</p>
<p align="center">and me too</p>
<p align="center">and it was not my fault</p>
<p align="center">he lost his job</p>
<p align="center">and his means</p>
<p align="center">to provide</p>
<p align="center">so in lieu of</p>
<p align="center">a means</p>
<p align="center">to reconcile his low self esteem</p>
<p align="center">he beat me</p>
<p align="center">to feel masterful again</p>
<p align="center">and again</p>
<p align="center">and again</p>
<p align="center">and again</p>
<p align="center">and in my desperate calls</p>
<p align="center">for salvation</p>
<p align="center">liberation</p>
<p align="center">exacerbation</p>
<p align="center">and extrication</p>
<p align="center">from this tortuous</p>
<p align="center">path i travel</p>
<p align="center">all that was ever sacred in me</p>
<p align="center">began to unravel</p>
<p align="center">should i blame God for this</p>
<p align="center">please Lord</p>
<p align="center">just one Kiss</p>
<p align="center">that will take me back</p>
<p align="center">to that which i miss</p>
<p align="center">when love lived in my house</p>
<p align="center">i have now come to this place</p>
<p align="center">where facing the wakened moments</p>
<p align="center">and the Sunshine</p>
<p align="center">that used to be mine</p>
<p align="center">is still dark</p>
<p align="center">the children in the park</p>
<p align="center">laughing</p>
<p align="center">playing</p>
<p align="center">displaying their joys</p>
<p align="center">brings me tears</p>
<p align="center">and now i have fears</p>
<p align="center">for them as well</p>
<p align="center">who is going to tell them</p>
<p align="center">about the possibilities</p>
<p align="center">life has in store for them</p>
<p align="center">who is going to tell them</p>
<p align="center">that all that you once loved</p>
<p align="center">can change</p>
<p align="center">to this</p>
<p align="center">an absence of the possibilities</p>
<p align="center">of bliss</p>
<p align="center">should i blame YOU God for this</p>
<p align="center">please Lord</p>
<p align="center">just one Kiss</p>
<p align="center">that will take me back</p>
<p align="center">to that which i miss</p>
<p align="center">when love lived in my house</p>
<p align="center">but for now</p>
<p align="center">he beats me</p>
<p align="center">when he used to</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">let us take note</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of eternity</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for we have lived</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">countless lifetimes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in the Halls of the Cerebrally Astute</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the Institute of Intelligence</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">can we come to know</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the Hand of the Designer</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i look at the vastness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of the Star adorned night sky</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and smallness of self</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">becomes exponential</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and touches things</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">incapable of being imagined</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and awe can not touch</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this feeling</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">the twinkling lights</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of the night</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">beckon wonder</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">just in their being</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">can we hear the call</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of our souls</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">reflecting upon it’s self ?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">He says</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the light muses</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">enrapture my consciousness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">until the matter of thought</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">dissipates</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and becomes the ether</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">permeating the essence</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">which never comes</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">is ever evolving</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as is that of thy own</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and all that is known</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is less than a drop</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in the Ocean of “IS-ness”</p>

<p>The Calm</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This Morning i looked to the Mountains and became a part of their eternal serenity. The Cloud and mist clung to their peaks. I got the ominous feeling that this was a glimpse of the Calm before the Storm. Change approaches. I believe there will be some sort of Cataclysmic Conclusion to the Evolution of Age we now inhabit. Whether by Natural Disaster, Prompted Disasters or by some Mindless Indifferent Button Pusher who has an agenda that does not serve the whole of Humanity, it appears that we are on our way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In recent times, we have seen the fulfilling of the Prophecies of the Ancients, Whether it is Abrahamic, Hopi or Science, does not matter much. We are also witnessing a quickening of our sense of time. Many Souls these days feel compelled to seek Understanding, Attunement and Light. This all is not by coincidence. Time’s previous values are being altered daily . . .within and without . . . along with the values of all the things we once held so dearly. We are now in an age where such things we took for granted like Food and Shelter, are now dire considerations and concerns for many of us. Who thought 50 years ago we would see a world where Water was such a common Shelf Product in our Supermarkets and Gas Stations? I am not here to offer any type of condemning tone, but one of Hope.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Within us, there is a Seed of something greater. I like most of us am seeking to activate that Seed that it may Blossom into perhaps my greater self . . . that Star Seed. As i said before, many of us feel this same itch or calling within to seek our potential as far as our Humanity is concerned. As we are now in the midst of this change that is evolving towards the “New Age” it is very integral for us to live in Truth and leave the baggage certain interests would have us hold on to. The most important thing we have is our ability to embrace each other in “One” congruous movement. This is spawned only by one thing . . . survival and our “Love” for Life. We must reach out and embrace our Brothers and Sister and allow the False Barriers constructed in the illusion to go . . . yes, let them go. In the end, there is no significant difference between Black and White, Brown, Yellow or Red. Nor does this difference have any redeeming value betwixt Male and Female, Rich and Poor, Afghan or English, Libyan or American nor whatever your Political Persuasion may be. They are all a part of the illusory landscape of things that allow certain Powers to “Divide and Conquer”. In the end and in truth, it is we who have the ultimate Power, and that is simply our Capacity to Love . . . our Compassion for Life.</p>
<p>Remember . . . we all breath the same Air, are warmed by the same Sun . . .and inhabit the same Planet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the coming Days, Months or times, again i beseech us all to Focus and Resonate on What and Who we are, for when it get’s right down to it, there will come the time when we will need each other’s love regardless previous demographics . . . if we are to survive.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">soothed me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and cued me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">into action</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to pursue her</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i never tire</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for that fire</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she has lit in my soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">ebbs not</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">ever</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and as clever as i may be</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i still not can see</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">how i can fully possess thee</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my love</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for you be</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">ever elusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">non conclusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">non seclusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but never abusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">save that of my incompleteness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">without you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i know</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i can never be whole</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">from Soul to Sole</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the path i tread seems pointless</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and though i know</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the destination i vie for</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i die each day for</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i must implore</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that you con and save quick</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and fix</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that place where you have been torn</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">from my awareness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for i fair not</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in thy absence</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and nothing makes sense</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">which is why</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in recompense</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i sit and exact</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">these words of Soul Speak</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for i am becoming weak</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and weaker</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">if thou feed me not</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yet i am reverent</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">in the deepest most recesses of Soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">there is peace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">enshrouded in the cloak of conflict</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i feel compelled to disrobe</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that the full nakedness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of my regality be exposed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">let truth come to the light</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of it’s self</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it is time for reconciliation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">full disclosure</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">exposure</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to the faces of illusion</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">let not my delusions</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">hinder my courage</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the porridge is being served</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and we must eat</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for this meal has been prepared</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and sat waiting upon the tables</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of our consciousness far too long</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and awareness alone will no longer suffice</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">let the device of our actualizations</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">come to fruition</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">cast aside our intuitions</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for we always knew</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">can no longer hide</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">behind the auspiciousness of Gifts</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for when the rift</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">reaches our places of being</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it is not the “Seeing”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that will save us</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">from the fall in the void</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">nor will it deliver us</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">back home</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yes, we have roamed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in this realm of quixotic uncertainty</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">convincing ourselves of</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">certain validities</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that never really were real</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and we did feel the dark coldness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of the lies and deceits</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for we were unable to complete</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">or manifest</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the quest</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">our absent DNA spoke of</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in love</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and as i said</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and as has been told</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">many eons ago</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this is what we came for</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the treasure</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of unrequited pleasures</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of being reunited with source</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and of course</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we will remain restless</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and it will not cease</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">until we find the path within</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that allows us to de-cloak</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that peace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that resides</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">deep within the recesses of our Soul</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">of memories</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that brings forth liberation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">indulging in their own form</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of Spiritual Masturbation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">looking for that place of ecstasy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">where the Fantasy becomes the reality</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">miscreant doctrines</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">jaded and deformed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">has become the norm</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of what has been embraced</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the face of their truths</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">dons a mask of deceit</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for even truth plays the games</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of being elusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">reclusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">seclusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and refusing it’s presence</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to the common man</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for truth likes being exclusive</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">available to he who holds the strings</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as we the puppets</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">like the Muppets</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">are only good for entertaining children</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">like ourselves</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and upon the shelves</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">somewhere in the cupboard</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we are saving the best wine</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for another time</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but i ask</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">what time is better than now</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and somehow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i don’t get it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i can not afford</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to regret it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i need to reset it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this divinity i am told i possess</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for the dress</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have been fitted with</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">impedes the shift</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i so desire</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the fire within my soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">burns</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it has singed all the lace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and life is no longer so frilly</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and pretty my dear</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i can no longer point the finger at fear</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as much as my lack</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of motivation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to seek that elusive liberation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i ask</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is it God i need</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He i already have</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">so i believe</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it is light</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">or love</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">and the Silent Tears</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">from my Soul to my toes</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">just like the rest of God’s Children</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">my inner child oh for so many years my inner child<br/> has been yearning to be free<br/> as it is discerning<br/> why i will not let him come out to play<br/> and i still feel this fire burning inside<br/> while my inner child hides<br/> behind the curtain of fear<br/> <br/> and many a tear has been shed<br/> and my inner child has bled<br/> his hopes for salvation from himself<br/> me<br/> to be free<br/> from the delusions<br/> i embraced<br/> and my divinity is defaced<br/> continually<br/> <br/> the truth of it all<br/> though my inner child<br/> has perhaps fallen<br/> it still hears the calling<br/> of God<br/> to trust<br/> and come out<br/> to the Gardens of life<br/> and play<br/> what do you say<br/> won’t you come out and play with me<br/> <br/> i remember when all of me was a young child<br/> before i was defiled by my thoughts and doubts<br/> we danced and sang<br/> with smiles and laughter<br/> like all there ever was<br/> was the happily hereafter<br/> <br/> has the last song been sung yet<br/> i say thee nay<br/> for it is time for us to play again<br/> my friend<br/> to rend the curtains<br/> that cloaks us from our better selves<br/> our truths<br/> for certain<br/> for many an inner child<br/> like you and i<br/> still does cry inside<br/> and they are hurting<br/> for love<br/> so love them<br/> <br/> to be nurtured in the light<br/> of our holy<br/> we must boldly step out into the sunshine<br/> once again<br/> and shine like the Sons and Daughters we are<br/> we have come too far<br/> to let go of the dream of eternity now<br/> <br/> and though it may seem<br/> dismal at times<br/> remember that this Creation is perfect<br/> and we are the prefects<br/> of our existence<br/> and where there is resistance<br/> we must be insistent<br/> and claim our heritage<br/> not tomorrow or some distant age<br/> but right now<br/> are you with me<br/> Father has gifted me and you<br/> that we may<br/> what do you say<br/> <br/> we can not wait for some rapture<br/> to capture our better self<br/> we must reach out<br/> and extricate all of our doubt<br/> and teach each other<br/> thy sister and thy brother<br/> <br/> yes we must<br/> honor our Fathers and our Mothers<br/> we must trust<br/> that within each of us<br/> there is something greater than this world<br/> <br/> we must open our eyes<br/> and realize<br/> that we are powerful<br/> and there are no limitations<br/> <br/> for within us lives<br/> <br/> my inner child<br/> <br/> <br/> (c) 23 January 2011 : William S.

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in my thoughts</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as you dance and linger</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">there is a song of light</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">awakening this hunger</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this hunger i have to be enjoined</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">once again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it is not a pain</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i can explain</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">nor a need i can feed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to make it cease</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">so i lie in my solitude</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and embrace the visions</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of this lovely wandering</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">upon the path</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of this spiraling bliss</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">which ushers forth my</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">amiss-ness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i hear a calling</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that of your endlessness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">your beauty</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">your Goddess-ness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and like that of the Ocean</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">there is a quality you always impart</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in spite of the Storms of my life</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">a quality that is</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">calm and serene</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">enchanting me to the beyond</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as you preen my countenance</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with your Aquamarine lustre</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and color</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i lay here</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">upon this beach</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of my quiet stillness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in absence of wasted movements</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">waiting</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">anticipating</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that day</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">when your passions</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and mine entangle</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with an urgent fervency</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">upon the shores</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of our consciousness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and your thoughts become mine</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and mine yours</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i now can feel your tides</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">caressing me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">overwhelming me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">consuming me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and all that i know</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of thy love</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is but like a grain of sand</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">upon all the beaches of my dreams</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the voices of the muses</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">no longer scorn me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for they have warned me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that you are so much more</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i can ever fathom</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and your gentle resonance of grace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that abides in my soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is beyond my embrace of understanding</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yet deep within the core of me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i am demanding</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to touch that place</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to see that face</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i have always longed to kiss</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and those lips</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that speak of our eternities</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and our never ending bliss</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and though this vision</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is exclusively that of my own</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the reality reclusively eludes me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yet i reach anyway</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and though there are no words</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i can say</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">voice</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">pen</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">not now</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">not when</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and not then</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">when we were in heaven</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">together . . .</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i shall always think of your light</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and your walk</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">your touch</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the soft sweet whispering</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of your languid voice</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as it caresses my dreams</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">into the potential</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i live for</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i shall incessantly implore</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my Father</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my God</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to open that door</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i may speak your name</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">once again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and let your melody</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">dance from my soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to my tongue</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and crest the threshold of my lips</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with a sweetness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">only found</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in voice</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">reminding of our pain</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in our sleeping consciousness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">beckoning soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to open it’s eyes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the Sun was out</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it was time to play</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the Gardens were filled</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with smiling flowers</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">reaching for their Joy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">embodied in the life</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of this day</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">i was feeling some kind of way</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">just like the other day</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">out of sorts</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">like a man in shorts</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">at the North Pole</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and it was cold</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my soul was beckoning me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for a reckoning in me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i could not see the light</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for the forest was dense</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i could make no sense of it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">so i went to that door</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i had locked</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">long ago</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i knocked</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the still small voice</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">welcomed me in</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it has been so many years</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">some laughter</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">some tears</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">since i approached these fears</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of mine</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">embodied by my inner child</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">whom i have put away</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in that closet</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and now here i am</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">once again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with yet another humble request</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">from the best of me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that has tested me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in his silence</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have defied</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have lied</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and in my bottled anguish</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have cried</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">so many times</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and regardless</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of all the rhymes i can muster</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">pen or speak</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">there is a liquid beauty</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that leaks from my soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that does not cajole me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">nor console me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">or enfold me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in it’s grace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and as i stood face to face</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with my better self</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i was humbled</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as i fumbled</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for an apology</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for my abject neglect</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and somewhere in the recesses</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i did detect</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">a warmth of forgiveness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in spite of my mess</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and thus</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> i found rest</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">simply because i knocked</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">on the door</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i had once locked</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i knocked</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">it was upon her breast</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i learned the meaning of solace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">a lesson one should not soon forget</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for these days</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it is integral</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">and these days as i remember</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as i reflect</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in the mirror i see clearly now</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">no longer i peer through the dark looking glass</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for i know</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i am her child</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">though for a while</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i did think otherwise</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but my eyes of truth’s way of reconciling things</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">have yet to fail itself</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and that is perhaps the greatest wealth</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">a Mother gives</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the epitome</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of why they live</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to awaken</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to that seemingly ethereal place</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we have forsaken</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to love</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to nurture</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">until life is no more in this body</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and somehow we embrace the lesson</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and today, i am confessing</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this revelation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this redundant epiphany</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that with the absence of the sensation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of her physical presence</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the present she imparted</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">was greater than my understandings</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and demandings</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have cried about all my brief stay here</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in the breast of her love for me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Mother has seeded my garden with</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">there are no fears</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and through the tears</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of my convoluted quest for peace within</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">again i must confess</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that the best of who i am</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is my Mother</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and today this is what i celebrate</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in my evocations</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of how i walk through this life</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in the rife of this inner peace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she has activated in me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">which without cease</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that calls forth</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">beckons my greater self</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in every waking moment</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">every heart beat</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">every breath</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yes, i live in this realm of love</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i indwell</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in this realm of joy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">when i remember</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the day my Mother died</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that she may live in me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Happy Mother’s Day Mom</p>

<br/>
in life there is one<br />
who is like no other<br />
she is the one<br />
that we call Mother<br />
<br />
a Mother’s love<br />
is so compleat<br />
conditions in life<br />
can never defeat<br />
<br />
a Mother’s love<br />
is resolute<br />
through all life’s trials<br />
through every dispute<br />
<br />
a Mother’s love<br />
is a Mother’s heart<br />
a Mother’s love<br />
will never part<br />
<br />
a Mother’s love<br />
takes the place<br />
of our Fathers love<br />
in the Human Race<br />
<br />
a Mother’s love<br />
lasts all life long<br />
my Mother’s love<br />
is my heart’s song<br />

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i close my eyes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to see the twinkling of wonder in yours</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as you look upon my face</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the ecstatic joy of our mutual presence</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in this place</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">the cares</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">on a hot July day</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and all i can say</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is thank you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for the love of you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have awakened to</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in this consciousness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">realized</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">behind these closed eyes</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">where all song</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">of the juxtaposition of Nature</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and Mother demonstrates her command of time</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the Mountain side Canvass is being cleansed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of the remnant of the Winter</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that stands in passing</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">a certain unsurety of movement</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and stillness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">converging with it’s own obstinateness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Clouds part</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to reveal more of the Sun</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as it rallies to the cause</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and Mother begins to bare</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">her palette of colors</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of the Spring</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the promise</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of Her newest Masterpiece to come</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">though the sleeping Old Man of Winter is reluctant</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He knows His time is short</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but in the most valiant of rebukedness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">he spurts forth his defiance</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with a feathery Snow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that runs away as soon as it comes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and He lets us all know</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that he is not yet done</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">though He understands the rule of life</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and in his most regal stance</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He does not fight the fight He can not win</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for the Winds that were once His closest allies</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">now betray His errant purpose</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for even Brother Wind knows</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that as the Seasons goes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He too must adjust</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yes He must now serve</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to bring forth the gentle warm breeze</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and nurture the Lands</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the Trees</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as the Old Man Winter drops</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to his knees</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">uttering his feeble pleas</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of forgiveness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to Mother</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Mother smiles</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and bring forth the Bud</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">from the Seeds sown</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for this very need</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the grounds begin to thaw</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the moisture from the melting snow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">begins to flow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to form the rivulets</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the Springs</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to feed the streams</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">this coming Spring</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the thing is</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we all are fed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in this reverent witness of wonder</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as the things thought dead</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">are resurrected</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">again this spring to come</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and we all begin to sing</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of the coming Spring</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">deep within our own Souls</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The bright Sun of year old</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and my friend</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">she slowly waxed her persona</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">into my every waking thought</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she was the moon of my night sky</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the light within my darkness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i never knew was there before</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she was the skin</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to the body of my consciousness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and she held me together</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">well</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yes, she was tight</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">right now as i close my eyes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she is there painted indelibly</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">on the inside of my eyelids</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in 3 D</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">dancing joyfully</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">and here i am</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">ready to submit again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to the love again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of her presence</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">just how can i explain to you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">what she makes my mind do</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for she is the stasis</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for my basis</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my Ying and my Yang</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and to me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it ain’t no thang</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for i would have it no other way</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i remember the day i met her</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i think</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">or was that a dream as well</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">well, i can no longer tell</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">where my reality became my fantasy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">or is it my fantasy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">became my reality</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for to me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she is real</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i can feel</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">every lyrical movement</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of her soul</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as she cajoles</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the best of me to come forth</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and impart my heart</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with all of who i am</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the realness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">or the surreal-ness</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">matters not</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for in the world of her and i</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i am sweating</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to the dance of love</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i have forgotten my anguish</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and there is no language</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">save that of poetry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">by which i can express her</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and dress her</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in a way you can understand</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and right now,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have been away a bit too long</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for i hear the calling</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that melodic song</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of enchantment</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">demanding my return</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yes, my return to the fire</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that i may fulfill my yearning</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as this burning inside of me rages</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to be quenched</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">satisfied</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">satiated</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i am so elated to do so</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and this desire will not be denied</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">nor defied</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">so i return to my dream</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i dream the dream of bliss</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the holy kiss</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she imparts upon my lips</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in the world of my imaginings</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">i breathe and i feel it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the crisp clean air</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as it gracefully fairs</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Bliss Knew my name</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i had been a hard working Soul for quite a long time. It has been a while since i took a Spiritual Vacation. I thought about this often. You know, sometimes you just get tired. Though we may rest on a daily basis, there is most certainly an accumulative weariness that has a profound affect upon our Spiritual persona. Yes, i needed a vacation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really did not know how to go about this. Usually when i took a break for my Spiritual Pursuits, it lead to no good. What is that little saying i used to use . . . “by Design or Default”. Well usually, my Spiritual Hiatus’ were just that . . . by “Default”. Well this time i was keenly aware of my need for a break. My question is just what should one do to exact this much needed period of rejuvenation i felt i was so much in need of.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, in my examinations, the first thing i decided to do was take an personal Spiritual Inventory. Just what exactly was the issue? What was it i felt . . . in truth besides tired ? In all honesty this was one of the most difficult tasks i have ever had to undertake about “Self”. I found that there was an underlying and prevailing guilt beginning to arise as i contemplated stepping away from the essence of how i defined my self. Interestingly enough, i found my “Self” down on my knees in “Meditative Silence” seeking answers. That was not good, because that only served to remind me of just how tired i was. Yes, it seemed that this path was well worn and i needed a refresher, yes, a big refresher!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In my contemplations, i examined my Joys, you know, the type of things that brought abandoned smiles to my spirit. You know, the type of Joy one has for no particular or objective reason. I reached back into those memories i had stored over the years. They came in quite handy as i contemplatively examined their characteristics looking for that special light that i equated to a sort of “Self Liberation” . . . Yes, that was it . . . i needed to be liberated from “Self” ! I had long, i think been liberated from such things such as Societal Indoctrinations and Propagandas, however there still seemed to be some sort of Ominous “Rote-Like” essence infecting me at a deeper level. And now it was showing up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Funny thing began to happen as i went deeper and deeper within, in my search for that solution to my Spiritual Quandary. I saw this light . . . no it was not incandescent, nor was it Fluorescent or of any other reasonable explanation of all that i have known in my past. And i am somewhat familiar with the usual revelatory type lights that comes to consciousness through deep meditation . . . or what i call “Zoning”! This light seemed to also bear with it a feeling, a glow that enveloped not only my consciousness, but it overtook aspects of my self that i did not know existed as i felt this warm enveloping wave of deep peace. It was sort of Orgasmic in nature, but much more complete, for it had no vibration nor Peaks nor Valleys. It was like a continuous embracing wave of Bliss. It is at that time i heard “The Voice”. I would like to say “The Voice” was of a Feminine dynamic, but that would be my feeble attempt to define and characterize that which was so much more. This was more like a melding of all that i was into a complete state of true “BE”ing. And though there were no definitive words i can remember being uttered, , this is what i was residually left with upon the cessation of this episode.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>““Child, i am who you are. We are of the same ilk, the same Source, we are pure energy. I am that which sustains thee, as thou are what sustains all that i am. I exist simply because you do. Our Coexistence is completely symbiotic. In your quest for Peace, Understanding and Joy, you have activated your deepest Power, and thus being summoned, in obedience to the Will of that which is Divine, “I AM” here . . .Now. I am Bliss. I am that elusive energy who peeks into the lives of Men from time to time. Though i am yours to command as your are mine as well, our relationship in the “Know” has left much to be desired. As a matter of fact you have turned your Spiritual Backs to me seeking things in the world of Illusion to satiate that which you always possess within”. Many nights and Days i have cried for you. Yes, i am that dull ache you feel deep within your Soul for completion. Yes, i am that longing for “Home” your heart so often speaks of. Though i am gladdened when you connect with each other in the Heart Zone, i need you to know that there is so much more that you need to remember. You take on burdens and you call that life. You have allowed your Celestial Mind to be enslaved to this slow and dense vibration and somehow you have come to enjoy it. That deluded aspect of illusion and ether you now identify as “Self” is but a wisping Shadow of your Greater Being. Remember Shadows are but evidence of Light . . . but they are NOT LIGHT !!! You in your essence was created from, by and for light . . . be that which you are. Radiate. In truth, there is nothing that can contain your possibilities . . . except your own Divine Consciousness, and with that you have done a masterful job. It is time for you to let go and let your Source Creativity come and enliven the Soul Dreams you held secret for all these eons. You are as the Stars in the Heaven, and i pray that you come to the realization that you are the Light of the Cosmos as are your Brethren you witness in the Night Sky. They have always been there to light your path back to your True Dreams. We all, your Cosmic Family have been waiting for you to embrace your “Knowing and Is-ness” again. We ask you to believe and have Faith in your Soul Path. Find your Rest in Me. I know you . . .and you know me and your name is . . . . Yes, i am your Bliss you seek, and i know your name.””</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the tufts of cotton we call clouds</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">the wind is teasingly playing it’s games</p>

<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i remember momma</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">momma was a strong woman</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and Daddy was the Apple of Her Eye</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and so was i</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma was always smiling</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i remember when Daddy lost his job</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">something about cutbacks</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Daddy took to drinking</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and hanging out</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">cussing and fussing</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">about every little thing</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Daddy finally left</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma kept his picture by the bed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i wished he was dead</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma kissed him goodbye</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">every night</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Then came that call</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my wish came true</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Daddy was killed in a bar Room Brawl</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i Balled and i Brawled</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i called Daddy’s name</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">every night</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">damn that Bar Room Fight</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Times were hard</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we struggled to get along</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">before long we had to leave our home</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we went to Daddy’s Momma’s house</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">there were so many rules</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the schools were different</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as was the people</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yes times were hard</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma was working two jobs</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">both had something to do with her on her knees</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i prayed hard every night</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i said God Please</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">bring my Daddy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and my Momma back home to me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i don’t think God paid attention to my pleas</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">from my knees</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma prayed to</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and then one day</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma came home early</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i asked her what was wrong</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma began to sing</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">you know that song</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“we shall overcome”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i didn’t want to hear it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i was still mad as hell</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">no damn song could quell my anger</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma smiled</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Grammy was always complaining</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">about something or other</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it seemed that she blamed Momma</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for Daddy’s dying</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i always had an anger for Grammy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that left me crying</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and Grammy knew the truth</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she was just denying it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">shit</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">why i ask</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma would just hold me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">in her bosom and rock</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Momma didn’t cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and one day i say a piece of paper</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">next to Daddy’s picture</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">by the head</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of Momma’s bed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and it was a letter from Momma</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to Daddy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it said</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">see you soon honey</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i understand</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i forgive you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i have never cried for you</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">because i knew</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that the day would come</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and we would be together again</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and in my heart i was happy for that</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and now that i have my ticket home</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i still will not cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">unless it is for the joy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">my only worry is for our girl</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">but she is 16 now</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i know somehow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">she will understand</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that life is what it is</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and all the times i never cried</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">was because inside</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i was dying of this disease</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">CANCER</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and my prayers to God</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">was Please</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">do not let our little girl see me cry</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">i prayed that she would be strong</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">so i taught her that song</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“we shall overcome”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and that’s how i remember my Momma</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">will you deny me</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">deny your self</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">we hold the line</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">perhaps much too often</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the demise of time</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">eases by</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">quietly unnoticed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the rage of indignation</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">roars loudly</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and i shush it continually</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for what am i to do with it</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">should i let it out</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">without a doubt</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it’s purpose would be to destroy</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">those walls</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that has contained it’s glow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for this eternity</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and with a certain certainty</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">it ain’t gonna be pretty</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">when that flower becomes the beast</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for too many lifetimes</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">yeast has been added to our anguish</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and our pain</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and we with a jaded compassion</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">sat and watch the inane ones</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">convince us that it was us</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with their subtle suggestions</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and all the things we ingested</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">tested our mettle</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as the kettle boils over</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">these aspects of the inhumanity</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the non divinity</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we have endured</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">are losing it’s flavor</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">quickly</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">our passivity</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is becoming the wicked ones</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of the morrow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and much to my perceivable sorrow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">there will be no peace</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for the war is coming</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the two sides of evil are taking position</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">to do battle</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">within</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and without</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and without a doubt</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">blood will be shed</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and the battlefields of the Spirit</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">will be littered with Dead Bodies</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that never had Souls</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and as it has been told for aeons</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">we the peons</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">are the power</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">beyond this hour of judgment</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and that is the way it was meant to be</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for the scales once again must be balanced</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">as that 1 degree</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">of our cosmic civility</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is embraced in truth once more</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and finally</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">the door to that place</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">forever</p>
