Despite All
Despite what you see in the streets
Or in print
Despite the sorrow
Despite the destruction and death in unjust wars
Despite the politicians’ quibbling
Or the frivolity on your TV screen
Despite the greed, the fraud, the lies
Despite, and in spite of these
A change is coming
A long-awaited awakening is happening
Despite the confusion
Despite the emptiness
The fear
An aspiration is awakening
A thirst to know, to see, beyond the seeming
Beyond the illusion
We are caught in and live
We want, we need it
And a change is coming
A new consciousness, a higher us Is slowly manifesting
The new paradigm
The shift we’ve waited for, yearned for Is happening
Reach out, take part,
Manifest,
Intend the change
****
When vibrations of fear cancel out love
and greed prevails
from insecurity born
we lose our purpose and our part here

Dis-identify
Dis-identify
You are not this inescapable chatter,
this tedium,
this mind
You are a lot more sublime.
Reject this notion
with all its commotion
This erroneous notion
This downright lie.
You are not this
You are much more
sublime.
You are not this whiteboard
Scribbled on by many
With the writings of
conditioning
Disown this notion
This erroneous notion
Defy this emotion
You are not this
Dis-identify.
Neither are you this body
but in it live
Nor the fleeting emotions are you
Perpetuate not this notion
You are much more than these
You are divine.
You are a mighty light
A mighty love
A clear creative mind
Know it
and live the knowing
You are divine.
*****
It is by the light we lighten up
and by love that we let go
to release
to trust, to flow
to find our nature
our truth
our wings

Wall
I see you
with a wall
all-around
saying
I am alright
look at me
I’m fine
I’m doing well
I’m OK
And within
I see
an aching heart for love
When will the barriers come down?
topple down?
breakdown?
When will you let me in?
