Heaven Sent (2)

Two people who meet,

And share a precious love,

Like a graceful dance,

Never danced before,

A beautiful song yet unsung,

A sunrise witnessed,

From a unique vantage point,

Where no one ever stood…

Two souls who “get” each other are,

A rare find!

Maybe for just a blip in time,

Or perhaps a while more…

The love of a mother and child,

Two lovers, two trusted friends,

A four-legged friend,

Or sweet Jesus?

The who, what, where, when and why,

Pale in comparison,

To the precious gem of love,

They found.

Unruffled by time and space…

Sent down once on angel’s wings,

Now in heaven waits.

Still, Surreal Life

Second chance life,

Surreal!

Here now surviving…thriving?

Still.

Cutest doggy love,

Sweet music playing,

Life’s surreal backdrop,

Still.

Soft breeze felt,

Sunlight streaming down,

Face tanned & warmed,

Still.

Unique opportunity,

Meet God within,

Find peace, solace,

Still.

Surreal chance,

Peace wins,

Calm settles over presence,

Still.

One second,

To the next…to the next…

Surreal, dream-like!

Still.

Spiritually touched,

A life, surreal,

Yet beautifully

Profound,

Still.

Diary entry of a wounded warrior

Not perfect

The perfection of God set me free.

The perfection of God carries me.

Not just dead words written across the page,

Nor stale air, nor inflated wishes,

Or tricks to mislead…

Just my imperfect attempt to convey,

God’s deeply felt love for me.

If not felt, then not expressed!

Highest light, touching deepest heart core.

Humble? Then I would not say.

Perfect, trendy, glamorous, proud?

Thankfully need not be,

Nor any soul seeking God‘s close proximity.

The perfection of God set me free.

The perfection of God carries me.

More prayer and less blame,

Puts the perfect Will of Creator,

Before any lesser attachments, smaller wills,

Or imperfect creations.

Gift of Darkness?

Sometimes we need the dark to see…the light

100,000 twinkling stars easily escape our view,

When hidden behind the thick white blanket of daylight.

So on the next crisp clear evening,

Why not thank God for darkness?

With treasured wonders revealed,

And beauty that mystifies,

Seen with just the naked eye,

Transfixed and mesmerized,

As we stand beneath,

The starry, starry sky.

Born To Eat Dirt?

Why would I accept a caterpillar lifetime?

Dirt in my face,

Ears, eyes, mouth,

And all around…

Dreams lost, buried over,

Left for dead…

Then acceptance came,

A divine timed rebirth.

There!

I just answered my own question.

A chance to rebirth,

For my spirit to fly freely,

Into God‘s kingdom!

So grateful my Butterfly soul,

Was once willing,

To eat some dirt.

Stardust Prayer

FOR CLEAN AIR

Dear Higher Spiritual family in the stars,

Thank you for showering us with your love, as always

And for shining your light down upon us,

Under the direction and will of one loving God,

May you please take a magnificent net of love,

Filled with your healing starlight,

And forgiving stardust,

Then tossing one end,

May we catch and anchor it down on Earth.

With great sweeping motions,

May we then move this net across the skies with you,

Back and forth, back and forth,

With an ever-widening girth,

A net of love so whisper soft and whisper quiet,

As to be invisible to us,

Like those dangerous particles in the air,

Yet a gazillion times more powerful,

Sweeping, cleaning, and clearing the air above us,

And the air below you,

Carrying the smoke, ash, dust, and debris out to sea,

Or to wherever the highest good may be,

All the while transmuting, healing, and clearing each one of us.

With deep sincerity and starry-eyed appreciation,

For your heartfelt kindness and help,

Offered freely to us,

Your younger relatives,

Here on Earth,

We thank you!
