Wish the Wishes
I love the heat upon my feet warmed through from the sun
The sun I greet every morning, a new day already won
The fact we’re here, it’s really clear, life proves our wish to be alive
Living fulfills this very wish because without wishes we wouldn’t survive
Our minds, our thoughts, our feelings do, manufacture the life we live
Whatever the emotions we hold onto, manifest around us it seems forthwith
Wish the wishes we wish to wish in the sunniest part of the day
Wish them in the happiest moments, so those are the ones that come your way
Our minds are surely wishing masters
Our feelings propel them through
Our minds are surely wishing masters
To our feelings our minds invariably follow true

Raindrops on Roses
Raindrops on the petals of a rose
How is it, do you suppose?
That nature becomes even more beautiful
From the blessed act of gentle rainfall
Increasing beauty whether young or old
Capacity to appreciate is yours untold
In our eyes is the ability to see
Magnificence all around, take time to observe a tree
Raindrops on the petals of a rose
A fleeting exquisiteness, nature’s spontaneous prose
And, focuses our attention on minute things
The wonder that raindrops on roses can bring

Thoughts
Lush, lush, lush and ever green
So many thoughts; before portrayed they are unseen
But, do we know our next thought before it appears?
Cascading from an unknown source, a total mystery
Best to observe the thoughts constantly flooding through
Contemplate their creation and what they’re guiding us to do
Do they come from inspiration or old-worn memory?
Do they lead to salvation and the life we wish to see?
Lush, lush, lush and ever green
May we act on ideas and insight
Filling our days with liberty

Perfume
What are you doing to share the real you?
Your inner you bursting to come flowing through
The layers of the skin, too much emphasis we’re giving
True beauty is revealed by what we’re doing
Compliments are determined by how we make people feel
Sensitivity and optimism are really big deal
Actions portray what our hearts have to say
Uplifting others is profound in spectacular ways
The only dazzlingly beauty that never does fade
Is making a difference by what we do and we say
Doing something a full breath affords us to do
Living authentically as only oneself knows how to
What are we doing to love a lot?
Starting with ourselves and everyone on top
Tender as roses, we all are human
Soften any thorns
Celebrate the perfume

Eyes to See
When I was young, wild and free
I didn’t have the eyes to see
Didn’t have the eyes truly to see
Beautiful diamonds glimmering back at me
Not only jewels but people too
Shimmering their brilliance, showering their good
Each moment was special
If only I understood…
The preciousness of nature
Its fragility too, so fleeting and passing, to all not a few
Now I have grown I am learning to perceive
The magnificence in moments and in all that I see
A Good Day Goodbye
Before the sunset colours the sky
The sun shines its brilliance, a good day goodbye
Beaming over grasses, casting shadows upon trees
An exquisite, fleeting beauty if only we see
Before the sunset colours the sky
Take a moment to breathe the beauty
A good day goodbye

Trees
How many leaves on trees on our earth?
Impossible to estimate, impossible to tell..
Although the count is beyond the mind…
Never enough trees to sustain humankind

Invisible Thief

Behind Closed Eyes
Resting quietly behind closed eyes
Mindfully sitting without disguise
Observing the senses
Observing myself
A detached state of being
Where the truth of life dwells
A pounding sensation pumps through my veins
An inner drummer constantly plays
The heart’s four chambers conduct life
The lungs, our organs, breathe life bright
Resting quietly behind closed eyes
A limitless landscape to realise
We are eternal, there is no end
Connected to everyone
Only to love we’re meant
* * *
Healthy Living
It’s a special kind of feeling
Lightness in the breeze
Lightness in your limbs
Moving one’s fingers with ease
A special kind of feeling
Heading towards real gold
Spiritual wealth and thriving health
Treasures and riches untold
An invaluable, precious feeling
Life as it’s meant to be
Breathing with the full confidence of being
A healthy body enables a life worth living
An exceptional state of living
The condition of living is giving
With every breath of life we’re giving
Empowering life on earth with healthy living
* * *
Shining Inside Out
May the sun really begin to shine
In the hearts of all humankind
May we truly begin to be kind
In the understanding to others we actually bind
May ours eyes begin really to see
It’s in our responsibility
All that’s happening in the world is a part of us
We’re not separate, life goes on within us
May insight enlighten our thoughts
The world is where we walk our walk, talk our talk
There is no other place to spread our love
Starting within our own hearts lifts everyone above
The daily grind, heartaches and misgivings
Misdeeds in the world that should not be occurring
May we hear the magnanimous voice in our being
Send loving thoughts to all people living
