​Being 'spiritual' is not about being nice

Forget puppy tails and sugar and spice

And some would believe that it's all sacrifice

By living in guilt and deferring paradise

 

But a Warrior of Light doesn't live in a cave

Or conform to norms or act like a slave

They shake things up, an Almighty wave

Of heartfelt truth, courageous and brave

 

A spiritual life is just you being authentic

And trusting yourself in front of a critic

Knowing that you are the one who is sane

In a world that is bonkers and often profane

 

So move past your fears and embrace all the love

You're a messenger of Light sent from above

To open others' hearts by exposing your own

Thus the seeds of change in them you have sown

​

The more I search, the more I find

A Hall of Mirrors in my mind

The eclectic, electric seat of my knowing

A stream of insights always growing.

But it's paradox after paradox

When opening Pandora's Box

Getting caught on the train of overthinking

The cogs in my head just won't stop clinking

 

So I go to my Soul

and turn over control

To the magnetic, Hermetic heart centred place

A sanctuary of peace in infinite space

And I rest in the flow of eternity

Knowing the while, that it's all just me

Tying myself up in the limitless net

Forgetting to remember that I chose to forget

The Truth that      I AM

An infinite, eternal hologram

Fractal by nature, ever expanding

Awareness and learning notwithstanding

The unconscious duality in which I'm entwined

But through oneness and love, my home I will find

 

In silence      and breathing

And simply being

​

Don't despair

You're nearly there

For what you seek

Is just in reach

You're nearly there

So don't despair

 

You've worked so hard

You're feeling scarred

The wounded healer

But always a believer

You're nearly there

So don't despair

 

It's always darkest

And things feel starkest

Just before dawn

When the veil is drawn

 

You've laboured well and almost healed

A lifetime spent on the battlefield

Of cleansing trauma, self-therapy

And you faced it all with dignity

 

Just one last hurdle then the war is won

And the internal fight is over and done

To forgive yourself that deepest shame

To let it go with no more blame

Release this weight and free your Soul

Accept your faults and make yourself whole

 

So don't despair

Cause you're nearly there

​

Nov 2024

It's truly tragic

That we've lost our magic

Our inner child's play

Buried away

And forgotten

 

Innocence lost

At any cost

So we can survive

In a world of lies

Which is rotten

 

But fear not my friend

You can transcend

And find your mojo

Your natural glow

Deep inside

 

Your personal grove

A treasure trove

Of wonder and joy

Imagination your toy

And guide

 

So reach in deep

And take a leap

Into the mystery

That is your story

And being

 

Let unicorns sing

And dragons spring

Up from you heart

So you can start

Your own freeing

​

Oct 2024

I'm a little dragon

Hiding in my cave

I'd like to change the world

But I'm not sure I'm that brave

 

So I go to see a wizard

And all my secrets tell

And round the woods we wander

As she helps me cast a spell

 

To dream a better earth

And bring it to fruition

There's no point being a dragon

If you haven't got ambition

 

And as I heal myself

My fire starts to glow

A little spark at first

Then the flame begins to grow

 

And when I find my voice

I really start to fly

Soaring in my truth

And lighting up the sky

 

Now a mighty dragon

Hear me roar and howl

No more meek and silent

As I step into my power

 

Releasing all the pain

Buried deep within

Wild and free and laughing

Hear my fire sing

 

As sorrow is transmuted

With truth and love and light

A blazing phoenix rising

In celebration flight

​

Oct 2024

The darker the shadow, the brighter the light

The lower we sink, the higher our flight

The weaker we feel, the stronger our might

The more we concede, the greater we fight

 

Our spiritual journey is fraught with tests

Facing traumas, often repressed

And just when we think that we're over the crest

Another wave hits us to add to the stress

 

But this is the path that we all chose

The one for our Soul to grow and transpose

Darkness to light through highs and lows

By finding our centre in the midst of woes

 

So weather the storm and persevere

They'll pass soon enough and it'll be clear

That these trials were gifts that you gave to yourself

To find more love and realise your wealth

​

Nov 2024

A squirrel jumps from tree to tree

A leap of faith it takes with glee

No thoughts of death or destiny

Serenely present, utterly free

Just doing its' thing

Spontaneously

​

Wolf Mother

 

The strongest wolf

Leads the pack

Not out front

But from the back

 

Her certain feet

Know the way

And from the path

Will never stray

 

She trusts her cubs

To do the same

She nurtured them well

With steady aim

 

And from her power

They move with grace

Held from behind

In her loving embrace

​

Sept 2024

I AM (your name) in this earthly role

I AM Source in Divine flow

I AM a miracle of my own creation

I AM witness to my emanation

I AM all things and all things are me

I AM love

I AM light

I AM harmony

I AM

​

June 2024

Let your light shine
For you are Divine
A being of love
Sent from above
To sing like a bird
And your voice be heard
Full of the joys
Over the noise
So don't be afraid
To serenade
And belt it out
With heartfelt clout

​

Am I enough?

How do I know?

Why do I care?

Is it all just a show?

 

Why am I here?

What do I do?

Is there a point?

Give me a clue

 

Is there a God?

Where is hell?

What are angels?

Please do tell

 

Life is so hard

It feels like a school

Each day a test

Unfair and cruel

 

How do I pass?

What if I fail?

Will I be punished?

Can I prevail?

 

When will I know

all of this stuff?

What is life?

Am I enough?

 

Well YES! You are

And so much more

If only you knew

Your vast splendour

 

It's ALL about LOVE

How much can you find?

Inside and out

In front and behind

 

There's only ONE TRUTH

To which you are blind

Open your heart

Unshackle your mind

 

Trust your own path

And doubts will cease

Just follow your joy

To inner peace

​

Nov 2024

Loving your enemy is easier said than done

Forgiving, forgetting and moving on

How do I get to this state of mind?

Which books do I read, where can I find?

That place in my heart where they can abide

In peace and harmony with all the tears that I've cried

 

They stung me with venomous insidious lies

Disdain and judgement their daily exercise

How do I take that which is not mine -

Their toxic energies, and then realign

What it means to be me in a world of hate

And not sink down under this weight

 

Since darkness and light are both of one nature

And each arises from the Creator

As two oppositions of the same coin

Somehow I need to make them conjoin

And then I remember the words of Thoth

That my purpose in life is to realise this growth

 

Because darkness transmuted is Light of the Light

So I open my heart and embrace all the spite

And with love and compassion as the master key

I use all my powers of alchemy

To break the cycle of unconscious assaults

Releasing all blame and finding no faults

 

And by letting go of all that pain

I free us all from our ball and chain

​

Oct 2024

The first leap of faith is always tough

Like quitting your job cause you've had enough

Or leaving your spouse

and moving house

Because things have stagnated

And you're feeling deflated

 

But these are all signs that you're ready for change

That your Higher Self wants to rearrange

All of those things that no longer serve

Your happiest path that you so deserve

And by clearing them out you make more room

So that you can prosper, grow and bloom

​

Nov 2024

When you Wake Up!

There's no going back

You just can't unsee

When you open a crack

To the light in your mind

That bursts through the fissure

It's a torrent of Truth

An inexorable river

Of insights, epiphanies

And revelations

That your Soul is infinite

Without limitations

And truth be told

It's quite overwhelming

But don't let that stop you

Or prevent you from delving

Into the expanse

Of you without end

So make peace with yourself

And be your own best friend

​

Nov 2024

We are trained to be slaves

From our first day at school

With our matching uniforms

And shiny shoes

 

To conform to the norm

And learn to fit in

Any uniqueness

Squashed from within

 

By fear of ridicule

And ostracization

A self-inflicted

Creative castration

 

To paint your own canvas

Is strictly forbidden

And any flare

Repressed and hidden

 

But just know this

When you feel the urge

To break free of the drudge and

From the grind emerge

 

That there's only one you

Supremely crafted

For your path in life

For which you were drafted

 

So make it count

Be bold, be brave

And unchain yourself

From Plato's Cave

​

Sept 2024

If you're ever in doubt

Then it's best to do nowt

Instead listen to your heart

For it will impart

The wisest choice

In the softest voice

Because it knows the right way

Out of any melee

And the Truth will be told

So your highest path can unfold

Which you can then roam

And find you way home

To yourself

​

Oct 2024

I am Sovereign and Free

No matter what they tell me

Because now I see

There is only me!

 

I've been trained to behave

like an obedient slave

to the nine-to-five

just to survive

in a world of woe

everyone my foe

and a prison of debt

in case I forget

The insidious lies

pulled over my eyes

 

But no more my friend

I will not bend

or compromise

to a life of lies

finely wrought

for my distraught

 

The bell tolls, but not for me

and it signals the end of the conspiracy

For I know who I AM

and I'm done with the sham

Besides, it's all just a Play

(of my own formation for my recreation!)

So I'll make my own way

and be the ultimate supreme

Dreamer of my Dream

​

Aug 2024

Warriors of Light

Rise up and unite

as emissaries of love

sent from Above

To stand in your Power

cause it's Happy Hour

And now is the time

To let your light shine

and show others the way

out of the fray

Just by being yourself

and knowing your worth

​

Aug 2024

It must be frustrating

When you're always waiting

For someone to offend

So you can reprehend

Often innocent remarks

Which for you are sparks

That ignite the flame

Of the urge to blame

And cast damnation

With the proclamation

“Woe is me!

And I want you to see

That you are the key

To all my misery”

It must be frustrating

When you're always waiting

For someone to save you

From yourself
