Coexist on earth as it is in…

Here on earth, for as long as Ever
Everyone fights to prove “what’s right”
But I wonder if I should tell them
What I know is in my heart…
All our God’s like to party
And it’s been that way from the start!

Buddha’s playing on the Bongos
While God and Allah tell their jokes
And the one whose name can’t be spoken
Laughs so hard he almost chokes

Mother Earth and Sister Mary dance while reading poetry
Gandhi watches chin in hand pondering all possibility
Pagans plant aromatic gardens, blooming with all that delights the eye
While Wiccan’s stir the soup for dinner and Jesus makes the apple pie

Krishna, Shiva, Vishnu and Ganesha
And their 300 and 33 million friends
Hold a class in Paradise yoga making up all the latest bends

The monks are passing out the ale, the orange robes, the honey wine
And the rabbi’s stoke the blazing fires to light the charcoal for hookah time.
Mother Teresa smiles at everyone finally feeling no more pain
While all the saints are playing poker and even trying to “win” in vain.

Confucius passes the peace pipe while White Buffalo Lady sings a song
And Zoroaster gets a tattoo, wondering why he waited so long
In my heart I see it clearly, all the deities get along
In my heart I know it truly all religions do belong

Paradise, Sanctuary, Heaven, Hell,
Really, who gives a damn?
What I believe is way more fun
Then killing others in the name of them

All are healing, all are healthy
All promote the way of love
And when I die I hope to party with the greatest gods above!

Tears of Grief and Hopes for Healing

I was with him when he died
I cried

I was there barely breathing
He was breathing barely
But I sat there squarely
Frozen in my chair

It was not my duty
Nor demand
But I stayed and held his hand
And I cried

Not aloud
Not in vain
But I cried all the same
A slow severe internal pain

For me
When he died

His lips were chapped
His mouth was dry
Somehow off limits
For a kiss good-bye

And as his coldness seeped into me
Numbed my arms
And froze my soul
For one split second
I felt I failed him
But still I refused to let go

I prayed for peace
I prayed for freedom
I prayed for God to let me know
Had I shown I loved and honored him
As life left him did he know?

I was there not by duty
I was there out of love
A grieving daughter
With her father
Seeking guidance from above

And may God hear me
Shed His mercy
Help me heal this pain inside
As I was with him when Cancer took him
By his side when he died

I cried

I still do

~ August 19, 1999 ~

Written because it just was inside me.

Kindred Spirits

Kindred Spirits

If we should touch, hand to heart
You would feel my soul within you.
Knowing not, from where we end
The start of melding flesh and sinew.

Magical and mysterious.
Illogical and curious.
Beyond the present state of mind
A kindred spirit can’t be defined.

But gentle as the morning air
And consistent as the setting sun.
A kindred love is always there
Predestined to the other ones.

We know no space or time constraints
We see and feel internally
We somehow sense the others thoughts
We share these bonds permanently.

Once touched by a kindred’s love
You’ll recognize them everywhere.
They have no gender, age or race
Or length of time set for you to share.

The purpose of this special bond
Has yet to reveal itself to me
But kindred’s have helped to free my soul
Teach me love, guide and protect me.

Found a kindred in your life?
Cherish your luck, offer your time
No deeper moment will you know
No greater blessing will you find.

August through October, 1997

Written in an attempt to define the spiritual and intense friendships and acquaintances I have had over the years that happen without effort but seem to have great purpose.

One World, One Peace

One World, One Peace

Peace begins within

Like a simple silent prayer

To want quiet for the world

To wish release from despair

And food for the many

Requires nurturing your soul

To give to others

In spite of what you know

Religion is division

Let your “one” god go

Acceptance above all others

Is a holy valuable

Reach out to the masses

By loving you and yours

A simple act of kindness

Can spread to foreign shores

~ Wednesday, August 06, 2008 ~

Written because I believe peace is more about shifting the human compassion meter up quite a few notches and less about waiting for governments to do what’s right.  You may not be able to change how government reacts but you CAN change how you act.
