Awakening
Beautiful You
Thank you for being your beautiful you
Whatever that is, to yourself be true
In the face of fear and uncertainty
It's hard to know your own verdancy
You're truly magnificent
Glorious and brilliant
Just as you are
A shining star
Only bigger and brighter
A warrior, a fighter
With the heart of a dragon
Singing your exquisite song
So follow your joy and keep good faith
The Universe loves you with all it's Grace

Zip Up Your Chakras
Zip up your chakras
There's a knock at the door
If it's not amazon
Then prepare for war
It's usually Howard
On his way home
Wanting a coffee,
an audience, a moan
Zip up your chakras
The telephone rings
An 'unknown' caller
Loaded with strings
'How are your windows?'
'You've won a prize!'
'What's your password?'
...as they traumatise
Zip up your chakras
Don't let them in
Your energy is precious
Conserve it within
Unzip you chakras
For those who care
But always discern
With whom you share

ALL IN!
There is no flow
if you don't let go
Every wave
is a chance to be brave
and embrace the space
of Space, it's Ace!
It's there for the taking
So why are you waiting?
Life is so short
so laugh till you snort
and have LOTS of fun
with everyone.
And if you really, really want to win
then fuck the odds and go ALL IN
Nothing to spare
last chip and a chair.
The Universe is a joker
and we're all playing poker
So whatever you're dealt
Make it heartfelt

Step Into Your Power
Oh shit!... I've just made a tit of myself
What was I thinking? as I feel myself sinking
into the abyss, as I reminisce
about what I just said, as it came into my head
No filters to hide behind when losing my peace of mind
In truth, I was just speaking my truth
Strewth!
Why is giving birth to our own self-worth
Such a trial and tribulation?
It's no big deal, yet I make such a meal
of it
and get carried away by frustration!
It's fear,, dear... just fear, and let's be clear
It's all of your own creation
Just let it pass without much ado
and you'll come to this realisation
Making the choice to express our voice
Is the greatest cause for celebration
So let go of your doubt, it's time to break out
from being a wallflower
and
STEP INTO YOUR POWER!

OMG... You've joined a CULT!
"OH MY GOD! You've joined a Cult"
is often the result,
and the disparity
when we question our 'reality'.
All I'm doing is thinking outside the box
of the orthodox,
away from the norm,
but it creates a shitstorm
of offended views, so carefully constructed
and dogmatically instructed,
but fragile as glass, if my little ass
can invoke such a crash
and vehement backlash,
for simply asking...
"what do you think?"... over a drink
with a longstanding friend,
who I now seem to offend...
"And what the hell's That?
What does it mean?"...
he shockingly screams, at the newly seen
ink on my arm, as it causes him harm!
And up pop his doubts, and I feel his fear,
yet he doesn't want to hear,
let alone query
what he holds to so dearly.
But with love my dear friend,
we ARE allowed
to change are avowed,
and take a peak behind
our mental confines
Besides...
"The unexamined life is not worth living"
So you have to be willing...
and curious,
...but you just seem furious
that I'm different now
and happier somehow.
I thought you'd be pleased, instead of aggrieved.
So lob that insult and say I've joined a 'cult'!
It's your way of caring
so thank you for sharing.
Now I really must go
and let you go too,
I have an appointment
for another tattoo...!
So I bid you farewell and say adieuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Stormy Seas
Bobbing around on the ocean of life
It's easy to get lost in strife
But calm seas do not a sailor make
In maelstroms from our slumber we wake
Some storms are worse than others
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
Take your pick, they're all a lesson
Gifts of Grace for our ascension
And if we're lucky we find a tribe
Who raise us up to a higher vibe
And as we journey into the realms of dream
Our ship becomes a submarine
Exploring the depths of life itself
And all the stars in the Universe
And magical creatures our companions
Unicorns, elves, angels, dragons
Sharing in the Grand illusion
Playing a game with no conclusion
Up and down and side to side
So buckle up bitches and enjoy the ride!

Gratitude is an Attitude
Gratitude is an attitude
Which comes from the heart
If it's only a platitude
You may as well fart

Yeshua is a Hedgehog
Yeshua is a hedgehog
He's a disco dancer too
Whatever you love doing
Is when he visits you
If taking care of nature
Or twirling round the room
Is your joy and passion
He'll be with you very soon
So have a little faith
And follow your desires
Make sure they're from your heart
Is all that it requires

Dark Night of the Ego
When your Soul says "hello", it's often disturbing
And comes with a message you may find perturbing...
"I'm here to tell you that you're not really you,
and everything you thought you were just isn't true"
"But what do you mean?" says the Ego with dread...
"I know who I am!" to the voice in my head
"You're so full of shit, leave me alone,
I'm NOT giving up on everything I've known"
"Then let's play a game of Truth or Dare"
says the Soul to the Ego... "and see how you fare"
"So tell me, truly, who do you think you are?
Your name? your job? your flashy sports car?
Or where in your body is the part you call 'me'?
Your head? your finger? your heart? your knee?"
"Don't be so stupid! I'm all of those things"
I YELL, as inside me an alarm bell rings
And I start to see that they're not really me
Just a bunch of stuff called 'personality'
I concede I'm not happy, though I've really tried
But nothing makes sense in the world outside
And here in my mind I've got things sorted
Even if I know they're a little distorted
"So if that's not me, then how do I find...
...and who am I talking to inside my mind?
I must be nuts, crazy, insane!"
I tell myself as I feel the pain...
Oh yes! dear one, you must furlough your pride
And know that you're in for a hell of a ride!
It's bumpy for sure, and you have to let go
But trust that you're MORE, and dive into the flow...
Take a leap of faith into the vast unknown
It's scary as hell out of your conform zone
And seeing the truth is no small feat
But have courage brave soul, the victory is sweet

How to Say "Hello" to an Alien?
When aliens land, if they're not already here
What would I say? Fancy a beer?
How was you journey? Have you come far?
Which route did you take? Was the galaxy clear?
Where are you from? What's it like there?
Tell me more, do you breathe air?
What do you think of our strange little home?
Would you come back? Or go elsewhere?
Us humans! not everybody's cup of tea
We've fucked up the planet and polluted the sea
We're a bunch of numpties making the best
It was nice to meet you but feel free to disagree
Are you taking over? Or just staying a while?
Catching your breath for the next trillion miles?
Thank you for calling and blowing my mind
And if nothing else you made me smile

Dance of Triggers
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the biggest twat of all?
Is it me? Who blindly lobs
judgey thoughts at all the knobs
Or is it them? For falling short
of expectations finely wrought
When moralising in my mind
and smugly searching their faults I find
And off we skip, in self-deceit
Twirling to our Ego's beat
Pumping out disharmony
to blaring sounds of 'You vs. Me'
And as we waltz this dance of triggers
The gulf between us just gets bigger.
But maybe you are just reflecting,
Illuminating my projecting.
What if outside comes from within?
The light, the dark, everything.
Then our meeting becomes a greeting,
a chance to see with clarity,
my persistent resistance
to the shadows inside
from which I hide
So thank you friend, you're heaven sent
A gift of Grace for my ascent.
No more black, no more white
no more wrong and no more right.
No more you and no more me
Only us in symmetry
And together we dance in Unity
P.S. Lesson learnt, but I have to admit
With deepest love, you're still a twit!

Here and Now
There is nowhere to be... but here
There is no when to be... but now
And if your mind starts to tell you otherwise
Then simply ask it 'how?'
'How can I not be here?'
'How can it not be now?'
This truth is yours to embrace
If only you allow

Tick Tock World
Free yourself from the tick of time
Rush, rush, rush, is our paradigm
Where's my centre? Where's my Soul?
Down a fucking rabbit hole.
Too much pressure, not enough thanks
A puppet slave to all the banks
Those gutless wonders draped in gold
and the rest of us in their stranglehold
But why? I cry, it's just an illusion
A collusion of delusion
Designed for our confusion
...and despair...
it's just not fair
Without balance, there is no peace
And the wheels of greed will never cease
But what does it take to just say no?
To step away from the striving
paying the conniving
when you're barely surviving
STOP... and breathe, just allow yourself to be,
Then trust... and let go, life will still flow
Only slower, and slower, and slower till
You find yourself, and learn to chill
Then nothing can touch you when you're in the zone... armour plated
The centre piece of all you've created
And make no mistake, it's all down to you
So stand in your Power
and say "Bless You"

Ego My Friend...
Ego my friend, you're such a bore
Making everything into a chore
A party-pooper and paratrooper
of fixing it, changing it, rearranging it
You think you're my boss, always in charge
But I'm here to give you an honourable discharge
Because I NEED do nothing, at the start of the day
It's actually my choice of how I play
The freedom is mine, despite the stress
And you're the master of making a mess
So leave it with me and we'll get things done
Just by being me and having fun

The Split
What do you value? what DO you hold dear?
Are you rooted in love? or bound by fear?
The Split is happening, and for what it's worth
The choice is yours... a New Order or
... new earth
It beckons us all one way or another
To rise above or perpetually suffer
Be tethered to hell and polarity
Or free as a bird in complete harmony
So reclaim yourself from the 'powers that be'(*)
and take back your Divine sovereignty
Or...
Pull down the hatches and blame all the 'others'
And feel the weight of the world as it crushingly smothers
You have free will, no matter what 'they' say
It's yours to have fun with, so have a play
In a world full of rules and too many 'No's'
How much fun could you have? if you went with the flow
So ask yourself 'what's the worst that can happen?
If I take back my power and break the pattern?'
No more drudgery, curmudgery and calcification
This life is precious, so raise your vibration and make it a vacation
(*) powers that were... but it didn't rhyme
