My story with you is rather short,
Five years of life gone in the blink of an eye,
A friend, a mentor, a grandfather past,
I knew our time to chat would not last.
You were there for me, guided me, and allowed me to grow,
The impact of which you never did know.
I only see you now beyond the pastures,
Across the lake I hear you in quiet laughter,
The part of me that knows the answer
To spiritual practice in everyday life,
Taking it all to brand new heights.
My friend you live on in all that I do,
Gather and climb, build fresh and renew,
At one and at peace a part of the call,
Safe journey to you at balance with all.
Thank you for the time in my life that we had,
Remembering it all makes me happy not sad.
For I wouldn’t change anything,
No regrets, no should have been, not one thing,
********************************************
I want to be in the moment clear,
To dance and sing and wiggle my rear,
Spiritually free to find the way,
The spiral path that I am on today.
Changes happen faster when you can see,
All the potential that there can be.
Listen to the birds sing, mystery,
The blowing wind through the bending trees,
The insects walking by on the ground,
The wisdom of life all around.
Wake to the beauty of the budding flower,
The fruits of life both sweet and sour.
Finding the passion in the simplest touch,
Especially so in those places we all love so much.
Keep the heart sacred,
Fulfilling and not wasted,
Sing, dance, be open, honest, respectful, and Free.
*****************************************
You can change the world one heart at a time.
Just be true to your self and you will do just fine.
Your action will speak of your inner nature.
Honoring spirits and respecting your makers.
Ancestors listen and taste your fears.
Walk with them daily, throughout your years.
They can help you,
They can guide you.
You can learn from their mistakes,
Their success and knowledge are the tools they make.
You can derive clues to your own path.
Discernment, involvement, evolvement, ride the waves and learn the past.
Opening up and finding the news,
Asking the questions about what to do.
Making mistakes, trying new things,
Go out on that limb,
Let your heart sing.
