Climb, Dear Wanderer

Meaningless, so meaningless

are the common distractions

Too clever to look beyond,

Beyond our own sight.

So cruel is the world 

For those trapped in the mind

Shallow and hollow

Sunken and shriveled 

Dark and desperate.... 

Climb, dear wanderer, 

Climb that mountain

Lift up and out, up and out

of that tangled mess

Hold that mirror and look,

Look so deeply into your soul

Stare into your eyes

Feel that pain, horror and sorrow

For that is unique to you

Live that treacherous memory,

For we all have our history

Dwelling there in the mind

You will never climb that mountain

And the little beauty you will find

will be only fleeting....

On the mountain, having climbed it

You distantly look at your life

Those trivial problems in the mind

Float off in the cool breeze 

Golden sunlight on your face

You can smile the smile of gratitude

For you've learnt how happiness will succeed

Dearest wanderer, climb up, climb up

Lift up and out, up and out,

Your life awaits you.....

I Touch You

With intentions in my hands

I touch you

With love in my heart

I touch you

With a prayer from my soul

I touch you

With the flames burning suffering

I touch you

With eyes alight

I touch you

With energy flowing

I touch you

To touch the lives of others

Give a spark of light

Give love to where it's needed

And help others with their plight

It is all up to you......

Deep within is a calling

Deep within is a song

Deep within there is a place

Where you belong

Where beauty is on the inside,

Where you can be free

Where there are connections,

Without fluctuating emotions

There for you just to be....

Don't change a thing,

Not the makeup you wear

Or the style of your hair

Don't buy another handbag

Or another pair of shoes...

Don't eat that chocolate

and hate yourself when you do

Stop the distractions

and get to know yourself

Know your pain to know your happiness

It is all up to you....
