Memory

Memory

Memory reaches far and buries deep,

carries us to Yesterdays,

lifts us up and brings us down,

enriches us in many ways,

reawakens wisdoms found

like buried treasure

some of which we keep.

Memory holds the V.I.P.s *

and V.I.I.s and V.T.I.s **

beyond all mental measure

that gathers through our lives.

Even in Timeline Replays

paradoxically the Same and Different,

we Recall, Invoke, Create

through Fractalizing Energies

moving, growing, changing,

kaleidoscoping complex Patterns

forming and reforming,

creating and recreating

as our Soul freely plays.

Even Purposeful Forgetfulness

of our Soul Memories

creates even more Possibilities,

more Realities, more Ways,

more Spaces in those Patterns

multi-layered in All Directions-

Connected, Whole and Holy in Essence,

God’s Spirit in us at play.

Faith

Faith

Faith is Hope with starlit wings.

Faith carries Courage above

stormy waters of events,

circumstances, forces

that push us hard and pull us down.

Faith lifts us high in troubled times

from Worldly cares to Heavenly realms

of understandings beautiful and sublime.

Here Higher Powers appear in glory

of awesome Wonders, enlightening,

communicating the power of words

to calm, with comforting assurance,

any fears in hearts and minds.

Here Peace is crowned and Joy is found

a Heavenly Treasure beyond all measure.

Here is where Love abounds

as Love unbounded,

not bound to limitations,

fully free in every way.

When Faith rests on things untrue,

on tangled webs of lies, held tight

in dark deceptions, conspiring agendas

linked and bound by chains of silence

holding down what’s truly true

then Faith falls through such ground

of decayed, unsound foundations,

Faith’s Trust is broken, illusions shattered,

though Faith may yet still cling to these.

Faith deceived has no Freedom,

disempowers us through Fear,

creates confusions, distorts perceptions,

warps world views, spins false news,

enslaves and carries us away

from Love as God’s True Light

to guide our lives in many ways.

Faith corrupted steals and slanders,

torments, tortures, exiles, kills,

becomes the Opposite to Love

while justifying Deadly Games

of Destruction in God’s Names.

May our Faith be ever free

to grow and change, evolve,

to lift us ever higher

to higher truths and wisdoms,

to help us see ever more clearly

Life, our lives, our planet World

and what is truly true.

Turquoise Dreams- I Float In

I was looking at some of my art this morning and thought to share my old poem once again. ‘What’s old is new again’ I think the saying goes.

Turquoise Dreams

I float in turquoise dreams…

turquoise and gold…

water and sun melting into memories

wrapped in gold and turquoise veils…

I am Osiris of the distant dawn,

dismembered and remembered…

I am Isis, divine wife and mother,

co-creator, equal, empowered…

I am Horus, the offspring of vision,

the knowing one who truly sees…

I am the golden history ship

that floats on forgotten turquoise dreams…

lives mythologized in pieces…

civilizations ship-wrecked in sands…

mirages floating in hot, still air…

I bury the staff and rod,

the robes, the spices, the treasures

of gold and turquoise dreams

and wake up with a smile…

What shall I wear today???

(Shelley Audrey Wilson- September, 2006)

Glories of Nature

Written today as best I can in isolation now in my son’s holiday trailer I now call The Writer’s Retreat. The garden gate is a liberty but I experienced the rest last night. I’m happy to focus on creativity at this time of vacation limbo. Stay well.

Healthy Growth

P

Healthy Growth

Deciding to make a difference

Reshaping the ‘status quo’

Creating good will as defence

With compassion for a foe

Seeing the suffering of violence

Choosing ways to let it go

Caring without pretense

Living the wisdom we know

Each one making a difference

Thriving through what we sow

Of kindness as common sense

Helping each other grow.
