passages
moons and seasons have different phases
they are a reflection of each of our faces
how we learn, grow and evolve
as we pass from one into the next
we keep some things and cast others off
there is nothing frozen in time
like the black holes travelling in space
we are continuously drawing to ourselves
something new, and we cleanse ourselves
of what is false and harms
let goodness and care be your north star
guiding you through these passages that
are leading to the next spoke in this great circle
if it hurts it's worth examination
seasons of pain are not to be ignored
they are part of the chain
don't let them pass too quickly, and benefit not
lest you doom yourself to future seasons of the same
when the new moon arrives, be ready
to stay in the current referred to as time
all the answers you search for will not manifest
that's not the goal
it is to become better by next phase, than
you were in the last
others may not see changes so slight,
let it be
the seasons that bring us to who we are meant to be
aren't always obvious to the outside,
because they happen internally
take heart, follow your star, accept
the gifts of each phase, pain fades
as you walk, try not to be so serious
that you miss the point
as we come and go, we are meant to shine
as we move into understanding that life is
bigger than our own and when we care
for one another, is when we shine brightest, so
remember to laugh and love often
don't be afraid of change, freedom is just a concept
we are all free to be who we were meant to be
think of your path as a beautiful stream
no matter where you are, if you get lost,
just look up to the heavens and find your star
you don't need refuge, you're exactly where
you are supposed to be
every path is different, and in every one you are free

book of life
nestled between the pages are the single strokes
framing the who, what, when and where of who we are
and the story of the road that has led from where we've
been to where we now stand, flipping the pages, chapter
after chapter reveals what has been only ours, no pair
of eyes, save one, have travelled that journey with
us. in the moments when we felt most alone and of greatest
despair, certain that no one was there, quietly... patiently
waiting, the gentliest of spirits, the most loving heart
of all stilled in our grief sends down that which he alone
can give. there in sorrow, there in joy, lonliness, depression,
and boredom he waits for one thing, that which only we can give,
acceptance of him, who alone loves us when no one else will,
acceptance of him who's asked for nothing more than that we return
his gifts and love by loving others when nobody else will, in this
way we show our love for him is real.

meeting with the maker
alone in the dark with the rustling of leaves
there's a hush and contentment in moments like these
let it go quiet, and rescind all light, i call to myself
the creatures of the night, the owl, the bat, the
wolves who cause some fright, bring to me
much delight, i love how they prowl, and the
sounds of their howl, that to others sets in their bones
like a chill, brings me peace and harmony, as if the world
went still, as i drink them in and gather them near
i know in my heart, that my world is here, there is
nothing else like this anywhere in this place, where
i can come to meet with the maker of all things
face to face, i know He is here, he's in all of these.
when i come to meet Him through all of my friends
its a chance to renew and begin again, He's always
here, the meetings up to me, whenever i'm ready
i need only look for the rocks, the tree, the stream,
open my heart and mind and soul to receive,
because He is here in moments like these,
giving me his care and taking away all reasons
to flee
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
