"We wish to walk with thee," they told the men and women there assembled. "We wish to guide your steps and hold your hands, to teach you many things- the divinity of grace and the beauty of love and the power of light."
"Oh Yes! Yes!" The people cried. "We wish to know these things." There followed a time of great transition for the humans, for though their hearts and their spirits welcomed the Angels, their bodies and minds knew turmoil and fear:
In becomic Angelic, guided by the Power of Love, they relinquished the Love of Power which had been for so long a part of their nature, and this raged as a battle for a time.
At last, the cycle was complete, and all was Harmonious.
The simplest of all is
The Power of Love
Upon the horizon
The sun 'pears above
The flow of the river
The blue of the sky
The purest creation
Allows you to fly
So look into nature
Take heed of your dreams
Trust in the knowing
All's not as it seems
For now we are calling
Remember the plans
That placed all our futures
in delicate hands
So all come together
To join into one
To finish the picture
The Ancients begun
Look into the faces
That you recognise
Hear clearly the words
of the Joyful and Wise
The days longtime coming
We find ourselves in
So dance in the moon and
The sun that begins
Its unstoppable journey
To illuminate
Every mind, Every heart,
Every voice celebrate
(Raphael)
]]>Sit before me with an open heart
Before me full of love
Before me with an open mind
Below, as so, above
For this is a reflection
of what hides within your mind
When you visualise perfection
That is what you'll find.
Rise up
You can rise
Rise up
You can rise
Let your heart go free
Open your wings
You can fly
Let your heart go free
Let yourself fly
Lady crying waiting at the station
Hasn't got a friend now in the world
All that she's known is humiliation
Hearts of stone
Rise up
You can rise
Rise up
You can rise
Let your heart go free
Open your wings
You can fly
Let your heart go free
Let yourself fly
Rise up
We can rise
Rise up
We can rise
written as lyrics for a friend in 1997.
As a song, it was wonderful!
When love flows from every soul in abundance
Without condition
Without judgement
With only truth
Then my work is done
When it is enough for all to exist in this one moment
With understanding
With wonder
Then my work
is done
When all is bliss
It is done...
And my hand is ever reaching
For my trust, it rests in you
But it seems you barely notice-
You have too much to do
Running round and round in circles
You don't even look my way
Your eyes don't even recognise
That colours start to fade.
My rivers turn to poison
As they flow into the sea
My air begins to burn you
While you stare at your TV
Will you eat the coins you're hoarding
Join the hands or wave the arms
Eyes and ears and hearts avoiding
The most wonderous healing balm.

Grandmother wisdom
Teaches us all
Let us make time
To listen
Beauty grows richer, though more lined
To be with you, to know I'll find
Wisdom within that cherished heart
To know my love
You play a part.
Strength of a thousand voices knew
The special one,
The special you
Inspired all who felt the kiss
of Ma enraptured
Steeped in Bliss
Joy you brought and Joy you bring
And joy will make our spirits sing.
Father sky
Summer rain
Washes over
Clear again
Waterfall
Catch the sun
Daylight starshine
Here again
Strawberries blue,
Orange and green
End of the rainbow
Near again
Trust the voice that is your heart
Comes from within
It is a part
Of all creation.
Just as you wiuld sit and doubt
The voice will grow into a shout
Demands attention
Must be heard
That thought, begun as fragile bird
A small inconsequential word
The inner voice that is your heart
Is very real
It is a part
Of all creation
There is love in the world
Though they try to hide
I know it is there.
I am. Loving you all tonight
My soul burns brightly
Know it is there.
This is the garden of my soul
I walk its paths in pure delight
The earth and sky that make me whole
The magic lives both day and night
No other place restores me so
This healing balm that satisfies
Will lift me up when I am low
My spirit soars its beauteous skies.
Every tree and every flower
Enriches this most lovely place
Minute to minute, hour to hour
Beloved vista changes face
The seasons cycle ambles on
How elegant the tireless ride
The falling leaves, the trailing frond
The gentle petals' vibrant pride
Within this place there is no star
No plant surpasses all the rest
From highest bough to sweetest flower
Is harmony beyond contest
Each shape, each colour, every scent
Combines to make this world complete
And this is why to you I'm sent
To feel the earth beneath my feet
BELOVED GARDEN, HEAR MY VOICE
IN YOU MY HEART IS FULL: REJOICE!
My heart could burst
It feels so full
The cleansing rain
The healing wind
The burning sun
All nourish my soul.
I ran so fast that I almost fell over
Made all my choices, Saw clearly the way
The dance that is life with her dainty hand beckoned
Her colours so vibrant, Unable to fade.
Of silver and gold were the rings on her fingers
The softest of leather let feet celebrate
The rise and the fall of the breath in her body
The drape of the fabric a madrigal played.
In mystical spirals her hair polka'd waistward
Revealing, concealing a hand that would ache
To hold in the palm all the fruits of the harvest
To sing all the notes of the song that she made.
Yet the greatest of all was the truth in her eyes
The fulfilment of every dream's efforts to pray
Defiant of word, separated from body
I watch, I wait, I participate.
My beloved! Passion still burns within my heart
I will return to you, Wishing we had never been apart!
The adventure of a youthful mind
Took me far away from home
I bravely fought to hide the tears
As I left you there alone
I look down from the mountain- the river flowing by
I can bear this separation
Knowing we still share the same sky.
My beloved! Passion still burns within my heart
I will return to you, Wishing we had never been apart!
To hear you sing like a child at play...
You smile, You laugh, You la la la
Your step has a spring, for on this day
An Angel came from a place afar
And now it grows within your heart
You are aware of a brand new start
It brings to you a dazzling smile
A glowing look, and all the while
You make the journey that began
With love from Angels unto man
I feel you
Like a warm blanket you wrap yourself around me
I hear you
Singing words of love and joy and encouragement
As I sleep
You rest beside me, our hearts joined as one
As I dream
We travel together hand in hand
I know you are there
For we made a promise-
Creation, me and you
Never to be broken, Sealed with a kiss and tied with a rainbow.
You know me
You know my heart
How could I ever not love you?
How could I do anything but smile at the thought of you?
How could I not sing your praises?
How could I fail to breathe your name on waking?
Dream of love
Springs making
With you?
My love for you will always be
A river of joy and excitement and anticipation
Because you are you
The key to my soul lies with you
My path begins with you
My path ends with you
I am you
I am all things as
You are all things
For we are one
This life is Perfect-
No need to
Prepare for the worst
of unrealised fears
Rolling and coasting
Slipping and Sliding
Crash-land into rapturous cheers!
I look around - in all I see
The joy of life smiles back at me
The melody of human voice
All Spirit sings as hearts rejoice
Let all that loves and laughs aloud
My eye seek out as it stands proud
Today this is a world at play,
experiments
or moulds as clay
What matters now, not what has been,
what this one said, what that one's seen
The future path is undisclosed
For all there is, is love enthroned
So take it in your open hand
Let it flow as soft as sand
See the love in every grain
It is not lost, it comes again,
Is infinite in magnitude:
Omnipotence of Love.
While the bloom was softly forming
like a blush you looked away
'til the heart revealed perfected petals
proudly greet the day
Passion in the heat of sunlight
Laughing out the purest joy
Innocent, irreverent screams of love
Yet the stem supporting beauty
thorns deterrent to your plan
Spilling blood upon the garden should you
take it in your hand
For she needs the root she grows from
While she shows her heart to you
You will never own the beauty of a rose
When the summer days grow short
The rose's petals drift away
And your heart will stir in anger at
Inconstancy at play
The flower's love was out of time
For you her beating heart
Cherish always, love, the beauty of a rose
