Eyes so bright in the misty morning opening fresh and new,
basking in the sun in all its glory,
Opening my arms to the sky above,
Revealing my heart and my love,
The world arround me born anew,
Nature's embrace sure and true,
each step an adventure,
every mile closer to journeys end,
one more day within nature,
my life without end.

I was watching birds fly around my back yard yesterday morning, and....

Come wild things, bid me your time
The day is new, and the world is fine

The sun shines down on the grass wet with dew
The air is clean, and the sky fresh and blue

Come to this place by land see and air
Take your pleasures here, and this day we will share

Hi Rebecca

I love this poem! I read it several times this morning, and it inspired me. I am new to this belief, but writings like this make me want to learn more.

Blessings be with you
John

We are Divine,
We are God,
We are Goddess,
We are the Buddha,
We are the transcendent light of the World,
We are the Universe,
We are the Divine Energy that meditates within us all,
We are the peace of stillness and comfort,
We are the Love of warmth and happiness.

With each smile,
We radiate our luminous Energy.

With each laugh and cry of joy,
We sing God’s song.
We dance the Goddess dance.

And in your comfort,
And in your stillness,
Go deep within the darkness of your mind and heart,
When you find the light of Divinity begin to glow,
Breathe,
Smile,
And Allow.

Know you are never separate from God.
Never separate from the Goddess
You are always Home.

Know you are never separate from the Universe,
You are forever.

With every breath taken,
With every tear that falls,
We bless and honor the union of body and soul.

When we shed our skin,
When our flesh falls away,
When only our souls remain,
Energy will be there,
All will be with you,
The Buddha consciousness,
The Universe,
The Light which was and ever will be,
We are the Light,
We are now,
We are.

Whispers







I sit and watch



The ocean waves



Mesmerizing, colliding to the shore



Like the heart beat of the earth, rhythmic and strong



Repeating again and again, tumultuous upheavals



Each one slightly more powerful and elegant than the last



Watching, anticipating, waiting, for the next curl and crest



Beyond the crashing and swelling sound as the sea breaks



Harmoniously onto rock and sand







I sit and hear



The ocean whisper



It is a quiet, confident, steady voice



It floats on the breeze, rides on the waves



As the sound reaches me it brings stillness



One sigh of the sea brings a lifetime of knowledge



Each breathe speaks directly to my soul



The reverberation is sweet, comforting, familiar,



Eternal, dependable and infinite







I sit and feel



The ocean live



Each wave and whisper frees me



My heart beats in time with the waves



My breathe becomes the melody to the ocean song



I am flooded with a serenity I have never known



I exist somewhere beneath the stars, above the earth



Merging with sea spray and sand



Knowing my essence belongs to the sea



Knowing I will continually rise, swell, crash and return



Beckoned by the whispers

the sea is beautiful
As I sit here on the boat
I wish to be on it
forever
in this life.

I am not sure what
draws me to the ocean
But, the need to be
on it
is a powerful source
that I do not
understand.

To be on it is like
a drug
always pulling me
tauting me
wanting me.


I never fishing this poem, maybe someday I will......PLEase DON'T finish it yourselves.. thanks, I will in time
It also at this time doesn't have a title.... I might call it "a drug" but not sure yet.

THE OBSESSION

THE SMELL TAKING ME
BACK TO A PAST LIFE THAT
I ONCE LIVED LONG AGO.

THE CALM RELENTLESS
OCEAN,
PLAYING WITH MY
MIND,
SINGING IN MY
EARS,
WHISPERING TO MY
SOUL.


THE WAVES AND WATER BEGGING
ME TO SWIM.
TO BECOME THE MERMAID I LONG TO BE.

THE CALM RELENTLESS
OCEAN,
PLAYING WITH MY
MIND,
SINGING IN MY
EARS,
WHISPERING TO MY
SOUL.

THE SEA, IS WHERE I BELONG
I AM COMPLETELY AT PEACE
ON,
IN,
AND
NEAR THE SEA.
I AM OBSESSED.....

Like secretary birds stomping on their prey which are snakes
The tyrants of this world destroy freedom and raise the stakes
But like the snakes that shed their shiny, shiny sleek skin
We will rear our heads and begin again and again and again

Rise and regenerate
We can collaborate
Make a new way of living
Free of greed and hate

The Bush administration takes over the whole entire earth
Taking without asking the rights of mothers who give birth
Taking away rights of gays to marry and be of equal worth
It takes away blessings and turns them into awful curses

Rise and regenerate
We can collaborate
Make a new way of living
Free of greed and hate

Insatiable
Dylan E Cook
June 8 2008


Insatiable hunger
Gnawing at my insides
A co dependent lover
That I can't abide

Worms crawling in me
Inside my brain, inside my veins
I've got to break free of this misery
Or I'll go certifiably insane

Insatiable hunger
Gnawing at my insides
A co dependent lover
That I can't abide

This hunger controls the earth
Even people that I seem to despise
It seems create, to give birth
To all kinds of greed and lies

Insatiable hunger
Gnawing at my insides
A co dependent lover
That I can't abide

I pray to my higher power
To get a daily respite from this
To set me free to deliver
Me from this decadent darkness
