The Gift of Christ-mas

Jesus Your Presence,

Is the greatest present.

You are pure love, peace

And understanding.

For me, you would sit,

And wait for eternity…

This Christmas, may I not forget,

Take for granted or overlook,

Your enduring peaceful Spirit,

Which surpasses the human understanding.

May I not get too caught up, 

Or lost in the holiday craze…

Forgetting You are the true 

Reason for the season!”

You may not come wrapped in,

Ribbons and bows,

Your subtle, quiet Light,

May not glisten as bright,

As the Rockefeller Center tree,

In New York City…

But as for peace and understanding,

Nothing matches the Light,

Of Your Loving Presence…

Christmas, the gift of

 Christ living within our souls.

Life Preserver

Your God protected soul,

Never grows old,

Never withers away,

And dies…

Or gets washed up,

With the rising tide.

 

Your soul,

Is with you,

Through life’s changing seasons;

Sailing the highest highs,

And surviving,

The lowest lows…

 

At times you may feel,

Lost in an endless sea,

Of indifference,

Or crushed by,

Fearsome waves,

Of anger…

 

But God’s love,

Is your built-in,

Fool proof Life-Preserver.

Just let go,

Hold on…

And wrap your weary soul around.

Love’s True Precision

We think “Divine love for all,”

Sounds generic and bland,

Not nearly special or unique.

But this is far from the truth,

Of God’s plan.

God knows us each personally,

Every heart string counts.

He travels to those hidden spaces inside,

Revealing our hope, desires and wishes…

Then echoes them right back, “no strings attached.”

Nothing is impossible,

Or out of reach…for God,

The most loving “Soul Doctor,”

Providing love for us, so precise and true,

A perfect match.

Souls-are Powered

Soul to soul,

Heart to heart,

Rays of love energizing humanity…

Sending streams of serenity,

Hope, joy and unity.

 

Souls are strengthened by,

Spirit Power,

Ending need for,

Artificial power surges,

Of ego and vanity.

 

Accept the One,

True-Power-Source,

Get free,

Endlessly available,

Fully accessible Love…

 

God estimated you’re already deserving,

Of a Spirit-Powered soul.

Your last bit of will, 

And hope need not be drained,

Before making that call.

Death’s Illusion

Waiting for the shoe to drop,

The ax to fall,

Walking on egg shells,

In tentative anticipation.

Can I see the door yet?

Hear deaths call?

Loved ones may die today,

Tomorrow or next?

Misfortune written,

In humanity’s script,

With permanent indelible ink.

Many faiths believing,

The day, minute,

And final hour preset,

In immovable stone.

What a heavy cross to bear!

 

So how is it,

We sometimes see people who,

Involuntarily laugh at a funeral,

Smile through tears,

Continue loving,

When they know…

All will be lost,

In a moment’s time.

Perhaps eternal soul knows,

Something more?

Beautiful Eternal Soul

Loser, winner,

Why identify?

We can still be happy,

Since neither is who we are.

Lose or win,

Is only what we do,

Sometimes up, sometimes down,

No reason to be proud or blue.

 

Who you are will always be,

A truth set,

In the fabric of Infinity…

Much stronger than earth’s stones and bones,

Soulful child of Eternal Mother,

Blessed accompaniment,

For God’s graceful symphony,

Love’s chosen one.

 

Life’s only joy,

When you are happy,

Cherubim spread wings,

And angels sing!

Incredible Shrinking Souls

Did you ever stop to wonder,

How a baby’s smile,

And glistening eyes,

Can brighten the lives,

Of everyone in the room?

 

I imagine their soul, ten feet tall,

Uncontainable, shining

Light stretching out,

Far and wide,

To touch even the saddest soul.

 

Precious and rare,

As a flower in full bloom,

Accepting sun’s rays,

Trusting, loving,

No judgements perceived.

 

Joyful and carefree,

Loving without restraint.

Tell me, can’t you feel,

The brilliant light,

They emanate?

 

Often as we age,

Our light grows dim.

 Souls shrinking up,

Curling in tight,

Small as a baby.

 

Many souls shut down completely,

In protection,

From all they know and see,

Avoiding painful blows,

Of disappointment, dishonor, despair.

 

The world we live in,

Is not known,

For maintaining,

Larger than life,

Open wide souls.

 

The next time you see a baby,

Stop to soak in their light.

Be reminded what it means,

To live with grand exuberance,

Heart and soul open wide.

 

Know you are witnessing a miracle.

 

I do believe,

Souls shrink as we grow,

So remember to keep sending extra love,

To everyone,

Everywhere you go!

Beyond the Labyrinth

With all life’s twists,

And all it’s turns…

 

Labyrinth…

Of failed attempt, of dreams lost,

Back bent, broken,

By exhaustion, sorrow, confusion, regret.

 

With healing, forgiveness, love,

I found this place…

A beautiful, peaceful space

Inside my soul…

 

HEART SANTUARY.

 

For this, God,

Eternally grateful.
