“Soul-fie, Not, Self-ie”

The day has arrived.

As sun rises,

it has

dawned upon you,

that Now,

is the Time,

to heed the warning.

Time,

to take your stand,

against

any woman or man,

who tries to

ride, roughshod,

over your

Super-Nature.

Oppose,

those,

who seek to

use, confuse, abuse,

your

Goodness.

Reject

the misappropriation

of your meekness…

through accusation,

of its weakness…

For this,

is

a,

blatant,

lie.

You,

are power,

under control.

In Divine defiance,

of anything,

their words seek

to imply.

So,

hold your ground.

Face forward,

to the Light…

…and,

in this position,

find your rest.

Select,

only, the best.

Stand,

poised,

as you pose,

to take a Soul-fie…

…and recognise,

within your Spirit,

how richly,

you are

Blessed.

“Head, Full Of Butterflies”

Head,

full of butterflies.

Filled with ideas,

flitting,

from flower-to-flower

of

vivid thought.

Antennae,

dip into

the bells of imagination…

Ring the colours

of changing intention,

with ease,

through liberty

of expression.

No bones of contention,

lodged in the throat,

nor abstention,

from

Reality.

Set,

to swim the channel

of ingenuity.

Morph,

into the new creature,

of nascent creativity.

Wings,

can, now, unfurl.

Like oysters,

made to form

Unique Purpose,

in every,

delicate pearl.

“Know Your Worth”

Know your worth.

Know,

that with your birth,

came, increased value,

to the Earth.

Hear this Truth.

Hear, that you are valid.

Without you,

the World would just

be pallid.

Take this in.

You are sunshine,

in one,

cheeky, grin!

Get this,

into your system…

Without you,

sunsets,

would just be

distant memories..

But,

with you,

they are precious moments..

with you,

we will never

miss them.

“The Definition”

Something,

about your being there,

made sense.

Made sense,

to the granite stalks,

keeping watch,

over us,

as we negotiated

docile pavements.

Gave context,

to the skyline,

as its turquoise cover

blanketed us,

in echoes

of evening shade.

Turned the Crucible

of Life,

into a series

of detailed lessons…

…and demystified blessings,

to be stored,

in wait,

for silent miracles.

You,

changed it all.

Caused effects,

affecting every Mission.

You,

prised

the doorway,

beyond, open.

Now,

Existence,

has new

Definition.

“Colour-atura”

You speak,

in spectrums.

Sliding arcs

of notated narratives,

glide,

from your

glistening chords,

to tell tuneful tales,

in arpeggios of

sonic art.

You bring

the jewel-toned Promise

of your rainbow-stave

to life,

with dots,

of many colours.

As your

Creative Covenant

appears,

the dawn chorus chorale,

has longer to lie-in,

whilst

air-to-surface soundscapes,

cast soulful hues

of emotional clues,

from

your vocal palette.

This is how

you make the World

to smile.

By

coating hearts,

in primary-red crescendoes,

where once,

they sang the blues.

“Come, Unity”

Come, Unity.

Let us commune,

as One.

Ride

the tempestuous waves

of Life,

in Fellowship.

Leaning,

upon the Everlasting,

fasting from the

false economy of

fear-stained living,

let us

learn, upwards.

Be the

Cadence of Kindness

and Giving,

that begets

acoustics of Caring,

phonetic footprints,

of Sharing,

left,

on the sand dunes

of memory….

…and

let us bond,

our Celestial tunes,

of

Spirit, Soul, Mind and Heart,

and bind together…

so that we never,

ever,

fall apart.

“Strength To Love”

Beyond reason,

your Love

sees me through every season.

Set apart,

from understanding,

your Truth lights my Heart,

as Life, is landing.

Separate,

from knowledge,

your Strength

seals my, struggling, Soul…

..as negativity tries to take control.

For,

in You,

I am,

Peaceful and Secure.

Therefore,

Eternally,

whole.

“Mirror, Mirror”

Not what you know,

but whom.

Sitting, in the middle

of your living-room,

you face

the doom and gloom,

with newfound strength.

For your Peace,

you go to lengths

which, before,

you would not dare.

Instead,

into the eyes

of fear and pain,

you, boldly, stare.

Realising,

that you will not

stay there.

Simply,

handle some

emotive business,

you had, quite, forgotten.

Ready,

to assess, into the night.

Not frightened to do so,

to put the past, to right.

But this is no pity-party.

You did not “r.s.v.p”

the invite!

This is looking back,

from the Present,

with 2020-insight.

Holding up the mirror

to reflect.

Taking down the books

of Truth and Wisdom

from the dusty, Life-shelf..

you acknowledge,

that you’ve won the battle

and the war..

So,

punch the air!

For

you’ve realigned,

with Spirit,

Heart,

Soul

and Self.

“One Giant Leap”

Somersaulting into day,

with obstacles,

mere, things of play,

that give you rise,

to jump ahead..

because

your confidence,

is supersized!

Embracing skating thin ice..

Navigating new routines,

with triple saltos,

of higher altitude.

Letting go of

what has been…

The result, of reaching out,

in optimism,

and stretching from

the top of your aura…

A multi-coloured prism,

the peak of your glow.

Sketching out

a brighter future,

with the permanent marker,

of your

iridescent energy flow.

You’re living life,

in the ascendancy…

at light-speed…

with authenticity,

your founding creed.

Scaling

mischievous mental mountains,

in single bounds.

Making paradigm shifts

of positivity…

Flying over them,

where, once,

you used to, laboriously,

climb.

For now you know

it is the time,

to stride,

rather than step

and

see your limitations break.

You have no doubt…

one, giant

leap of Faith,

is all it, really, takes.

“Intentional”

Once made,

the decision brings

profound Peace.

A profusion of placidity.

An ocean of release.

An intentional choice,

to authenticate Life

through collective

moments of “Now”.

The timeless Voice.

No longer, at the expense

of dreaming the Future.

Accepting

the Divine consequence

of proactive Faith,

determined Hope.

Ready for the best

of Destiny…

To,

once more,

answer the Call

of sharing

the Abundance of

Unconditional Love

and

Eternal Charity.
