Daily Bliss – July 30

Daily Bliss

For her next trick
She pulls her heart
Out of her sleeve
And places it in the hands
Of her yet unseen love
To hold until the time
When they can be as one

Daily Bliss – April 22

Daily Bliss

When dawn breaks
And her heart aches
She calls on the one
She knows will soothe her
The one who lights her sky
The one who sees her eye to eye
In her shame and darkness
And loves her anyway

Illusion

Poetic Healing

Our illusions need not lead us astray,
For though they seem real,
The only real is you
And me

And all that lives,
And nothing all at once
Except the fierceness of our own love,
The enduring spirit we call life,
The smallest notion in our own minds
Which we experience as aliveness

All as real as the next man’s illusion
And as unreal as the belief
That you are you,
And I am me,
When all we are
Is we

Daily Bliss – July 24

Daily Bliss

The Angels remind us that we never really know what someone’s life is truly like until we take the time to listen to their lived experience, without judgement or a desire to fix. Only then can we appreciate that their differences are ok, and so are ours.

{POEM} Life Above the Game

Poetic Healing

Sitting there on that sideline
Why do you not get up and play?
Why do you hang your head,
Beaten down by the world,
Beaten down by your own harsh words

If you lift up your eyes,
You might see the bigger picture,
Life above the game,
The matrix of all things
Laid out before you
And you there, a tiny speck in it all,
Swimming in your own self-doubt

But up here, it means nothing
Up here, this air is clear,
And so too is your view of yourself,
Your sense of loss, shame, and hopelessness,
Melded into the great pool
That is life,
Not alone in your doubts
But joined as one with all the others

Searching,
Longing,
Finding the strength to go on,
To raise eyes higher,
To see that all belong

In the matrix
In the maze
Finding their way
Up and out
Together

Daily Bliss – March 27

Daily Bliss

The Angels remind us that

a new wave is coming,

we’ll find it in the knowing,

that we are all one.
