Moments with Beulah

momentswithbeaulaIt’s been 6 years now since you passed
How you loved your stories and TV lives
And your living room filled with pirate’s booty
I am your oldest grandson
A nexus of generations

I hear you in the kitchen calling Sue
I see you buttering that awful white bread
With that killer spread
I remember your red cups

Those moments on the pier
Telling me, “Watch your pole now!”
Laughing at the smelly fish and shrimp
They always got away
I was not born for that

I loved your soft Tennessee drawl

Bingo!

I used to love to watch you play
How could you juggle all those cards so well

I remember the smell of the pines and tar
All those cigarettes, phew
As we pulled into the drive
Of your little cinder block house
My stomach jumped for Joy
It was always a mansion to me
And you were the fair lady of the tower
My protector
I wish I had not slipped away in the buzz of life
I wish I had remembered you on the important days
I live a life of Love and Light now
I have put childish things away
I promise to live with no regret
And burn brighter than the sun

I promise to always keep you in my heart
I will watch out for them
And help when I can
I’m pouring this one for you
And wishing your beloved Cowboys
Victory at last

Be at peace with Jim
I know you found each other again
In that cold place
And filled it with your love and warm embrace
Free from the chains of life
I look forward to one day joining you in
The Light

But not yet
I have a thing or two to do
I learned no one is promised tomorrow
So in this moment now I reflect best what I
Learned through your humble life
And know I feel you in the beat of my heart
Thank you for hands at my back

Peace

You are loved Beulah

Alone In The Light

Nothing exists where there is no truth and no falsehood

therefore, a prudent human being dismisses

nothing but examines everything.

Love leads to Belief

Belief leads to

Wisdom,

because this leads

to the recognition of the Light

No more shadows and secrets

All brought into the Light

The end leads back to

The Beginning

Alone

What Is My Religion You Ask

I seem to hear that more and more these days
And disappoint with my wayward ways

Could I have found the Truth I always sought
You All know how hard I have Always fought

In the end I want you All to know
I have found my peace lost so long ago

I wish you well on your way
And hope to see you another day

All you need to know about my Religion

Is that it came to me from within as a Dove
And that All I Am is Love

Dawn Rises

I feel the calm rising

The crashing waves ebb

I see the essence of us in the moon lite clouds

The old fears and passions slowly fade

They were set on my ending in defeat

I no longer chart this course

I see a bright dawn

At the Gate Of Humility – T

image

“Only a person who has passed through the gate of humility can ascend to the heights of the spirit.”

To all of those who helped me on my journey
What can I say
I will repay my debt to you with my open arms
I will fan the flames of truth wherever I see them
I will love with abandon
I will give all I have
I will never turn away one who seeks the truth
My life for them
My life for you
See with my eyes
See your son’s broken heart mended anew

I am naked before the world
I am a foolish man
I have fallen for the oldest tricks
Who can I trust
No one
You can only trust in what is within
I always doubted my voice
I was always pushed away or out
I always asked too many questions
I let myself and others down following my lusts and passions
I lived in fear for my very soul
Then, at the right times, seeds were planted
Embers flamed
And I found myself at the Gate of Humility
Many hands pulled me forward
Doubts melting away
Shedding fear
And feeling boundless love
I found something so true and so precious
I wish I could shoot my heart upon the world
So all could taste of the sweet truth singing in my blood

I see a great darkness creeping at the fringes of our world
An ancient foe
How can we contain such darkness
Only with the cleansing purifying fire of the light
You must be righteous and true to walk this path
There is no room for the old ways
If I don’t let it shine
Who will
You
Please, come and throw your life into the only
Fight that matters

It is time to rise and shuck off the shackles of ignorance
It is time to love your brother
It is time to resist in love
It is time to learn what you truly are

I am on the edge of a new dawn
It makes me laugh with joy to see and know myself
I look over my shoulder
With the wonder of a child
How can this be real
Because this is destiny

I am no one
Damaged goods
I make people uncomfortable
I delight in tipping them over
I try to show them the absurdity of life with no spirit
I have such raw power flailing out of me

I heard a voice singing in my soul

I saw how beautiful I was
I saw how amazing and unique I was in all the Universe
Perhaps I am the only real person in the Universe
I created all of you to share this with me
I love you
This is the way I feel about the world
I feel a stillness rising
I feel the warmth of the sun
I see the hummingbirds enjoying their nectar
From my chair
The soft sweet breeze blowing
I feel connected in new ways
The nano fibers of my being begin to connect
I feel myself expanding across the dimensions
I feel time speeding up
I see things I can never explain
Is that not evidence enough

I confess my need for something more than myself
I walk with no faith or belief
I begin to rise and move without knowing
Where will this path lead
I wish you well on your journey
I can not help but share my foolish words with the world

If you are at the end of yourself
You are closer to the truth than ever in your life
What a dumb thing to give up now
I’m telling you from one who knows
Press on and push through
Start your heroes journey
Seek in love of all
And you will find your way

The Dancing Blue Girl

I had a blue dream
I saw a flowing blue river
Lapping on the shores of my doubt
I lept into the rushing waters
Leaving all behind
A problem
I never learned to swim
Another came who saw my thrashing
Patiently he reached out a hand
The stranger pulled me into his boat
I looked into his cosmic dark eyes
Ageless wisdom probing deep
Stripped naked
The dark night came and overtook me
I almost lost myself
The stranger spoke a tongue I’d never heard
Slowly I began to understand
He dried me off and began to sing
I seemed to know this song
I felt it rising from deep within
My whole body vibrating
I made a sound
I was singing in our small boat with my new friend
As we shared our hearts in song
In our little boat
I looked to the shore
I saw another dancing there
Familiar, I asked her name
You know me she said
Slowly the realization turned in me
Like a screw into my heart
I began to weep and then I remembered
We met long ago and agreed
To meet on the river’s shore
As I heard the song on my lips
The stranger pushed me out of the boat
I struggled to reach the shore
The beautiful blue glowing girl dove in after me
She came at me fast as I spun in the eddie
We lunged for one another
And down we went
Slowly I found her eyes with mine
We shared our breath under those blue waters
We stopped thrashing
And floated to the surface
We clutched for one another and held tight
The swift river pulling us forward
Slowly we awoke together and found ourselves
On a blue ocean shore
What did you dream my love
I saw you dancing on blue shores

Sometimes It Hurts

Sometimes you may need to stand alone
Love can be threatening
How can that be
It hurts

Sometimes you have to follow the Light
Love knowing the pain in others
Hope that dawn will break
Never avoid the Truth

Sometimes you have to pursue
Don’t be a martyr
Always speak in Love
Take it

Sometimes you have to be the fool
Let the chips fall where they may
No longer live asleep
Always be true to yourself

Sometimes you have to be bold
The ones closest can have great fear
It comes from doubt
True love always stands beside you

Sometimes it hurts too much
How when a life is opening like a flower
Can they turn their eyes
Giving all seems not enough

Sometimes you have a moment of clarity
The path unfolds before you
Have courage and hold tight
When no one understands

I Love you all now like I never could

Always forgive
Always keep reaching
Always carry them
Always Be Love

Standing Beside You

I wrote this for a friend in hard times. Be well T!

You are a painted masterpiece
Your splendor shines from you
Be connected to calm things
And places you love
Walk old joyful times past
I met you on the road to destiny
I feel your pain
Let my words wash over you
And I will snatch it from you
Lay it on other’s shoulders who can bare it
I stand beside you and whisper
You are Loved
