Poems
When Inspiration Arrives
Accompanies the article in Messages and Archive.
A clap of thunder,
In tumultuous Skies,
Nature holds its breath,
The pause in silence.
The space between the words,
Saying more,
Darkness in our lives,
Merely a door.
The way is clear,
To move ahead,
For storms and trials,
Put rest to dread.
A lightning flash of Inspiration,
Burns eagerly, in anticipation,
For through the crack a way is made,
Surrender and we see the change.
Forces gathered rally round,
Time stands still, yet energy abounds,
Act now and follow – seize the day,
There’s never been a clearer sign,
Come forth my Children,
Embrace the Divine.
From awe-stuck observers,
Warriors we,
When acting through the power
Of certainty.
Not contemplation,
Nor rational act,
For truth resounds,
From a deeper tract.
Hidden places within our form,
Do cause a tremble,
And then reborn –
Aware of what we’ve brought to Light,
The way Illumined,
We gain our sight.
Insight we may call its name,
From darkest hour
To burning flame,
A flash to heed, a sudden spark,
A welling-up
Within our heart.
Head aside, for all is lost,
When thoughts do gather – at our cost,
For everything we hold most dear
Is ours already, despite our fear.
Banish all the clouds away,
And Dazzling Realms are ours to claim.
Mention we our worries and woes,
Or dwell on enemies and foes?
Dull edged sword now broken lies,
When Victory is ours to cry,
Hanging head in mortal shame
Or standing Proud and Tall again.
Called upon to raise the flag,
Beacons lit when spirits lag,
Inspiration takes central stage
And banishes despair and rage.
Go within this darkest hour,
Transform, transmute –
By way of fire,
Breaking silence, once again
A clap resounds
And lo – comes rain.
Washing all the sins of Men,
Bathing Beauty, renewed again,
Nature’s Eye does wonders keep,
Look if you will, for secrets most deep.
Draw them up from blessed well,
From purest Source, drink deep, ye shall
Taste the joys life offers you –
The glistening of the morning dew,
The Sun upon each golden bough,
Arcadia – I see you now!
No matter what befalls me
Inspiration guides the way,
Announcing dreams, the Light of Clarity
Illuminates the path to Eternity.
Each step, a footfall,
Careful now,
Listen, wait,
And you’ll harness its power.
Determination cannot match,
The Voice of Love that lies within,
Dormant, lest we do begin,
Whipping up the seas, the wind.
Crying out across the waves,
Frenzied spray, the Sirens call –
Rocks now pressing
Crack we fall.
Humpty Dumpty, seeping out,
Composure shattered – a final act.
An opening most vulnerable,
The façade now rendered malleable
For flow we must and form again,
Changing shape – becoming.
Our heart laid bare,
Our soul exposed,
Our essence revealed,
The Emperor’s New Clothes.
Naked in our Glory we,
As Nature made us, forgotten it seems,
Remembering we do so well
For programmed into every cell –
The Master Plan,
The golden keys,
The flight to freedom
For you and me.
None immune, or left alone,
Equal – brothers, sisters, throne.
Distinction lies not in role,
Nor race, nor creed – divided we fall.
We’re all the same, for underneath,
We feel, we love, we all want peace.
And so do mighty storm clouds part,
When rule of mind gives way to heart,
An opening, with shaft of Light,
Does pierce the ether, does penetrate night,
Inspiration flooding in, is ours to share –
Let the show begin.
