Awake, Aware, Alive
Awake, Aware, Alive
(Friend or Foe, Dead or Alive
by our Definitions,
thanks for being here
as I journey through Galaxies,
Ethereal, Astral, Physical,
through Destinations and Destinies
appearing solid and daunting
on a Ship of Questions to Remember
what it means To Be Truly Free.)
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive
or are our days merely a dream,
a haze, a maze of perceived illusions,
mistaken assumptions, erroneous conclusions,
distortions and confusions
about Life, about God, about Us?
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive?
From Childhood on, are we fed
and educated by our systems,
our families and societies
in what may by some be called
our Local Prejudices and Propagandas-
Cultural, Political, Religious-
as Blinders and Binders
through which we view
Life and God and Us?
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive?
Do we really know how Life works,
how Interconnected, how Interdependent
everything is everywhere
in The Larger View, The Grander Vision-
of this Universe, the Earth and even
The Great Beyond- Life Beyond Death
connecting All, including you and me?
Do we see how we’re part
of this multilayered Universe
of particles, waves and densities,
consciousness and frequencies,
even this Earth, this World
of waters and lands, elements and animals,
trees and plants and All That Is?
Do we understand even now
how our Well Being is Interconnected,
Interdependent, part of the All
and as we do to This, we do
to ourselves as well?
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive?
How do we Awaken to Oneness?
How do we Live in Awareness?
How do we value Life and being Alive?
How do we state, demonstrate,
to the All who we each are?
Who do we choose to be?
In large or small measure,
what do we contribute to Life
whether selfish or selfless?
Who do we think we are?
Do we see Life as a Name for God,
Life Itself and Freedom too?
Do we see Life in Us as Us,
a Process, a Force, an Energy
constantly moving, changing,
sustaining, recreating ever
in every Here and Now?
Do we see Life Itself Present,
Alive in Us, as Us, as All
even when some are not truly Sentient-
Awake, Aware, Alive?
I seek out New Definitions.
I leave Lesser Truths behind.
(So here I am enjoying the journey
on a ship of Questions flying
Beyond my past understandings
of Life As It Is into Mystery
and what it means To Be Truly Free.
Thanks One and All for joining me!)

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.

Writing To My Future Self
Sunlight Through Raindrops:
Writing To My Future Self
I am writing to my Future Self-
another time, another place,
another name, another race,
another shape, another face,
another version of Real Me…
Make Love and Compassion
your Constant Companions
in all your Earthly days
with those you’ve ever known
and even those unknown.
You’ll never truly be alone.
You’ll never feel alone.
When Change Appears as Monster Fears
feeding on Calamity, Catastrophe,
Conflict, Confusion, Disaster,
Danger, Destruction and Loss,
no matter what else you do-
remember the Love inside of you,
the Compassion and Love
all around you too.
That Love will see you through-
and you may come to find,
given time, the Blessings in Disguise.
Give Thanks and show your Gratitude.
That Attitude will help you live
in Inner Peace, Resilient Joy and Care
through anything that comes your way.
You will not feel Despair.
Life here is Constant Change.
Embrace it without Fear
of what may or may not Appear.
Accept what you can’t Change
so you can Let Discordance Go
with Past Regrets, with Ifs and Buts,
so you can Grow in the Flow
of how You Now Choose to Change.
You know the purpose of your Soul-
your own Evolving Self- Mastery Aware.
Despite Appearing Circumstance,
you’ll know you’re in control.
You are Spirit and Life’s Beloved Soul.
Remember your Real Me…

You Can Tell
Flowers For Children:
You Can Tell
What makes a Happy Child
or Person in Old Age?
Is it a Heart of Hate?
Is it a Mind of Rage?
Is it a Heart at Peace?
Is it a Mind at Ease?
What makes a Happy Child
or Person in Old Age?
What makes you feel Bad?
What makes you feel Glad?
What makes you feel Ill?
What makes you feel Well?
It’s so easy to tell. You can tell.
Your Heart and Mind will tell.
How does Shouting make you feel?
How does Quiet make you feel?
When you drink Clean or Dirty Water,
how does your Body feel?
When you breathe Clean or Dirty Air,
how does your Body feel?
When Others want to Hurt you,
how does your Body feel?
Your Heart and Mind will tell
when Others mean Ill or Well.
All Animals can tell
and you can tell, you can tell.
