The Rap Of Change

Change I adore.

Just to open that door,

With it's bright shiny hue,

To walk pastures new.

To breathe pure fresh air,

With wind in my hair

Looking eagerly ahead

To adventure be led.

‘Tis the breath of all life

Whether sunshine or strife.

The Link

They said it wouldn't last.
Those who stood in silent disapproval
On the sidelines out of sight,
With limbs and lips so still, unmoving,
For they know not what they see,
Those un-evolved freewheelers
Screwing face and soul together,
With no concept of the freedom
That is yours, for with no ego,
You walk hand in hand,
Through sun and wind and hail,
And remain as one within throughout this land
Of dimensions they will never see.
Levels they will never hear,
For they know not what you have
Nor all the things that you hold dear.
They know not who you are.
They cannot see and breathe your air.
Understanding not, the unbreakable link,
Forged many lives ago, in rain and fair.

Woman Of The Wise

I hear your words from down the years
Old woman of the wise.
Since last we met, I've had my share
Of laughter and of tears.
My mind when still, will enter space
Wherein you counselled me.
' Discretion is of valour best'
I clearly see your face,
Those words you uttered long ago,
Still live with me always,
And as I have quested o'er the years
I now know that they are so.
Now I plough my furrows deep and long
Always to myself be true.
I remember as I walk through life,
How you taught me to be strong.
You showed me how to shine my light.
No anger or judgment hold,
I've come to live this concept true,
For justice alone to fight.

Love Me Love My Dog

Love me, love my dog.
'Will that be hard'? I ask.
'No' you laughed in merriment.
'‘Twill never be a task'
For loving her is easy.
She has such a ready 'wit'
She keeps us laughing constantly,
And doesn't mind a bit,
When the joke is yet at her expense.
For she loves to play 'the ham'
On a daily basis constantly,
She's very good at 'sham'
But then with twinkle in my eye,
When I 'sternly' say 'old girl,
'You may fool others, but not I',
She says it's worth a whirl..
Pure as gold is my old dog,
Putting humans all to shame.
As honest as the day is long,
She will always take the blame,

The Male Menopause

The menopause is changing life.

It brings many women enormous strife.

The shifting change of the ground we stand,

Often feels like a different land.

A time for growth you know t'is true.

A golden opportunity, don't be blue.

Go with the flow, accept the change.

Embrace the difference; don't think it strange.

Look at the positive side of the page.

You are slowly growing into a sage.

Til We Meet Again

Beside the bonny lochs of blue
I walk this time alone.
For once I walked along with you,
Joyous, happy, in this my home.
I wander on in solitude.
My thoughts are still with you.
Sighing in the misty dew,
My tears they fall anew.
If only you were here my love,
Walking by my side again,
We'd clasp our hands as turtle doves,
There'd be no hurt or pain.
I hear your mellow voice, it sings,
To tell me I must be strong.
You live your life with pride that rings,
And I know we still belong.
So I take your counsel and your love,
In renewed energy to walk.
I see the mountains tall above,
And I know to you I talk.

In The Name Of God

In the name of God, you prophecy.
In the name of God you cry.
Down the centuries you've had your say,
And loudly you shout it still today.
In the name of truth, people hear you yearn,
For the peace that from the Lord you'll learn.
But is fear the way to smooth the path?
With coffers full, I hear you laugh.
Come out and stand in your own truth.
Look at yourselves, and raise the roof.
Not to the idols on bended knee,
But for balance and love for Eternity.
It's not in the name of God, I cry.
Come on all humans, open an eye.
Follow the path of truth and sight.
Be blinded only by Universal Light.
Don't be drawn to the ego of men, not God.
Look only at where your own feet have trod.
Don't be afraid to see what is here.
God, Goddess, Eternity, joyous and clear.

The Land That Time Forgot

Where the dinosaurs lie sleeping,
In the land that time forgot,
Save by the loyal crofters,
Whose lives abide atop,
Those magnificent white mountains,
Whose mood can turn so fast.
To know them is to love them
With their awesome graceful past.
Imperious, they'll forever stand,
Amidst the secret glens.
Withstanding ever, test of time.
Towering over brooks and benns.
If you enter through the gates of time,
Expect them to enfold,
You, with an Energy unique and pure
Where time is liquid gold.
Moments they spell hours,
And days turn into years.
The mighty mountains tall and true
Will wipe away all tears.

Peanuts And Promises

You promised me the world, the sun and stars.
You promised me a journey straight to Mars.
You promised me you'd catch the moon,
And present it to me on a spoon.
You promised me a mansion large
With numerous cars in the huge garage.
As our minds surveyed the rolling fields,
You promised me that they would yield
Equine, Canine, Feline friends,
To walk beside us to the end.
When you saw your promises turn to snow
In summer sun to melt and go,
In rivulets along life's lane
Despairingly you spoke my name.
In torment did you turn and say
"I promised you all beauteous days.
All my promises did through our lives wend.
And I gave you just "peanuts" in the end"
I smiled at you so tenderly
As we sat together knee to knee.

Earth Mother Wolf

The wolf she keens on hilltop high,
Howling her song to the moon.
The secret that she carries is nigh,
And she needs to share it soon.
But who will listen with good intent,
To the truth that she only knows
Will you or me, with our busy lives spent
Complaining of our woes?
The secret is carried down the years
And is ours to have and hold.
Could we truly hear with our inner ears,
And stride with spirit bold.
Putting ego to one side,
Feeling love so true and gold
Will we lift our faces to the wolf outside
Or leave her in the cold?
The choice is ours; twill ever be nigh
Will we waste the precious hours?
Will we hear the wolf on the hilltop high?
And let her secret be ours.
