The Game of Life

The Game of Life 

Awake...

Remove the pennies from your eyes!

You have travelled here through blinding light

Its time for you to rise

You've come forth from the ashes

Like a Phoenix through a flame

Completing all your challenges

 In life... The learning game

Although there are no winners

Therefore... There are no losers too

The game of life is just a test

To see what you would do!

Your choices! Not important

But more the reasons why!

And what you did to change the wrongs

As every day played by

The body that you acted in

From birth until its end

Needs to die to set you free

So your spirit it can send

And now a journey opens wide

A vast and wondrous land

Your soul may roam eternally 

With loved ones close at hand

Guidance

Guidance 

A journey of miles starts with only one step

A foot on the pathway ahead

Where that path leads, is your journey of life

And the path you've been chosen to tread

The path is a challenge, a series of goals

A track laid before you to try

It starts on the moment that you were conceived 

And continues long after you die

When your path comes to a junction 

And your direction is left to a choice

You may hear someone directing you

Intuition says... "Follow that voice!"

As somebody placed every footstep

And they helped you to choose the right way

You may not believe in a spiritual guide

But they helped you through every day

Secret Promise

Secret Promise

I whispered to the earth

I whispered to the trees

I felt them both within my palms

As I knelt on my knees 

I asked for their forgiveness

I told them I had tried

I watered them with teardrops...

As I hung my head and cried

I wondered if they'd heard me?

I wondered if they knew?

I wanted them to cradle me...

Like mothers like to do

I heard a silent answer

That was spoken in the breeze

I raised my head and thanked them

Then I got up from my knees

I brushed myself of sorrow

And before I turned to go

I left them with a promise

Just for them and me to know

A Lighter Path

A Lighter Path

If it feels right... Then go with it!

Try it now and never quit

A journeys start however late

Begins with choice... don't hesitate

Whatever happens down this road

Take with you your heavy load

Carry all that weight inside

The mass of past can't be denied

On your journey rest awhile

Leave your guilt right there and smile

Then carry on... leave guilt behind

You've already gained some peace of mind

Now let go your human greed

You don't need wealth to help succeed 

Each step from now will count as two

As gravity releases you

This road before you... Stretching out

It's twists will soon be straightened out

By letting go of all your hate

The poison that holds back your fate

Raise your head with confidence

The path before you making sense

Why carry so much weight around

Throughout life's journey burden bound

Theres still time... let those worries go

If you don't dwell...then they can't grow

And once set free your mind will clear

As stress and turmoil disappear

Your journey lighter... right on course

Continue on without remorse

Trouble free and now of worth

Mapped out for you at birth

Every journey from a start

Is one of courage, one of heart

And from that first step that you take

A new you you'll awake

Time to Bloom

Time to Bloom 

Broken children, troubled start

No one hears a broken heart

No one takes your pleading hand

As none of them could understand

No one listens to your prayers

Look around you... no one cares!

All of them have lives to lead

Them the flowers, you the weed

From this time of dark despair

It's now time to repair...

Damaged adults gather round

Listen... Hear that broken sound?

A broken heart... it can be heard

And some took note of every word

Every prayer you whispered true

Was given as a gift to you

But as a child you could not see

Your gift was but a key

Find the lock and turn that key

Its time to set your darkness free

Only you yourself can change

It's possible to rearrange

Your clock of life you can now wind 

To leave your broken past behind

And as the hands begin to turn

Its not too late to learn

Use your life as help for those...

The ones that think that no one knows

Hear their hearts and help them mend

It only takes a smiling friend

Make their hand fit like a glove 

Within your hand they will feel love

And in life's garden give them room

A little extra time to bloom

In Her Nature

In Her Nature

Nature with her open hands

Gives away her precious lands

Beauty free for all to view

Evergreen and ever true

From her soil all does rise

Reaching for the higher skies

Fruits that ripen under sun

Are labour foods for everyone

She gives all... yet we want more

We poison what was once made pure

Taking all her offerings

Destroying all the gifts she brings

Nothing given in return

I wonder if we'll ever learn?

That nature too can confiscate 

... And she decides our fate

Magpies

Magpies

We are just like magpies

Searching for our find

A little shining glint of hope

That twinkles in the mind

Maybe we'll find treasures!

A piece of past once lost

A broken part of history

Left lying in the dust

Being just like magpies

But without the means to fly

If only we could spread our wings 

And search now from the sky

We could see the earth below us

And thats all we need to see

As nothing is more valuable

Than something that is free

Human Stains

 Human Stains

Rain from the heavens, cascades from the sky

Falling on soil, from clouds ever high

Bathing the earth in a shower so pure

Cleansing the scars, of a world beaten raw

Cracks in her make-up, beginning to show

The rain travels swiftly... and knows where to go

Easing the hurt and then soothing her pains

Washing away... All the human stains

Rhymes from the Rain

Only Gods Children Shine 

Only gods children shine...

Yet deep within this heart of mine

A kindled spark just wont ignite 

To catch and make me bright

In my darkness angels wait

To guide me from my destined fate

Their stained glass eyes refuse to see 

They will not fan the flame in me

So I travel down a darker road

And struggle with my heavy load

Yet... I just want to shine for you

Like all gods children do

Faith in Me 

I want to be the one to catch you...

Like I promised I'd always do

You who has put your faith in me

As if somehow you knew...

That I would be the one to be there

With these hands that would hold you tight

And so far in our existence 

Your believing in me has been right

But... what if I can't make it?

Due to failing eyes and health

How will I ever save you?

When I can't even save myself

But as long as you stand by me

And your shadow walks always with mine

I will do my very best to catch you

... Each and every time

Brighter Times

The sky had mentioned a light would shine my way

It said that if i looked above I'd see it on this day

I sat and asked the clouds if they might move aside awhile

They did and I said "thank you" and I gave my friends a smile

I gazed in silence waiting... and i waited even more

Where was this light of promise that I'd sat and waited for?

I lay on grass and wished the light be possible to see

And then I saw your smiling face just looking down at me

I understood right then that all I really had to do

Was when i needed brighter times... I need only look at you

A Good Day Begins...

A good day begins... As with everyday new

No matter the weather... when I'm close to you

The sun shines so brightly whenever you're near

Lighting my world  just because you are here

Your heart close to mine plays it's magical song

How can my world darken or ever go wrong!

As you are my strength and the lightening in me

By my side is the place where I want you to be

Just to witness your smile at the dawn of a day

Hear every breath in the words that you say

I paint a minds picture and keep it with me

So when my eyes close it's still you that I see

Dancing on tiptoe through dreams etched in hearts

Wrapped in my soul... 'Til another day starts

Sunshine

She is dressed in sunshine

Golden and free

Swaying in summer

A place born to be

Rainbow hair

And a heart like the sun

Warming the soul 

Of the luckiest one

Her light shines brightly

She arches in the sky

A vision of beauty

Reflects in my eye

Fore she is my gift

From the heavens above

And with her I fell deeply in love
