Love is being totally absorbed in creating beauty&lt;br&gt;
Love is heaven on Earth&lt;br&gt;
Love is to be given and received&lt;br&gt;
Love is walking in nature&lt;br&gt;
Love is something with which we must honour ourselves&lt;br&gt;
Love is an expansion of the heart&lt;br&gt;
Love is all that is&lt;br&gt;
Love is the greatest power in the universe&lt;br&gt;
Love is patient and understanding&lt;br&gt;
Love is the song of the nightingale&lt;br&gt;
Love is being kissed by an angel&lt;br&gt;
Love is planting a tree&lt;br&gt;
Love is sharing yourself with another&lt;br&gt;
Love is fearless&lt;br&gt;
Love is unconditional&lt;br&gt;
Love is infinite&lt;br&gt;
Love is free
&lt;/p&gt;

There was love and laughter for this was the beginning: a New Dawn.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;"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."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;"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:&lt;br&gt;
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.&lt;br&gt;
At last, the cycle was complete, and all was Harmonious.
&lt;/p&gt;

And all that you do&lt;br&gt;
We sit and we watch you&lt;br&gt;
We guide you to truth&lt;br&gt;
Be strong in your heart&lt;br&gt;
Be strong in your soul&lt;br&gt;
For all that we say to you&lt;br&gt;
Makes you feel whole&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The simplest of all is&lt;br&gt;
The Power of Love&lt;br&gt;
Upon the horizon&lt;br&gt;
The sun 'pears above&lt;br&gt;
The flow of the river&lt;br&gt;
The blue of the sky&lt;br&gt;
The purest creation&lt;br&gt;
Allows you to fly&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;So look into nature&lt;br&gt;
Take heed of your dreams&lt;br&gt;
Trust in the knowing&lt;br&gt;
All's not as it seems&lt;br&gt;
For now we are calling&lt;br&gt;
Remember the plans&lt;br&gt;
That placed all our futures&lt;br&gt;
in delicate hands&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;So all come together&lt;br&gt;
To join into one&lt;br&gt;
To finish the picture&lt;br&gt;
The Ancients begun&lt;br&gt;
Look into the faces&lt;br&gt;
That you recognise&lt;br&gt;
Hear clearly the words&lt;br&gt;
of the Joyful and Wise&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The days longtime coming&lt;br&gt;
We find ourselves in&lt;br&gt;
So dance in the moon and&lt;br&gt;
The sun that begins&lt;br&gt;
Its unstoppable journey&lt;br&gt;
To illuminate&lt;br&gt;
Every mind, Every heart,&lt;br&gt;
Every voice celebrate&lt;/p&gt;

A mystery concealed&lt;br&gt;
On remembering the question&lt;br&gt;
All will be revealed&lt;/p&gt;

Before me full of love&lt;br&gt;
Before me with an open mind&lt;br&gt;
Below, as so, above&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;For this is a reflection&lt;br&gt;
of what hides within your mind&lt;br&gt;
When you visualise perfection&lt;br&gt;
That is what you'll find.

In my dress of green and blue&lt;br&gt;
And my voice is always singing out&lt;br&gt;
A song of love for you.&lt;br&gt;
My heart is overflowing&lt;br&gt;
With a love worth more than gold&lt;br&gt;
But where you once reciprocated&lt;br&gt;
Love, the atmosphere grows cold.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;And my hand is ever reaching&lt;br&gt;
For my trust, it rests in you&lt;br&gt;
But it seems you barely notice-&lt;br&gt;
You have too much to do&lt;br&gt;
Running round and round in circles&lt;br&gt;
You don't even look my way&lt;br&gt;
Your eyes don't even recognise&lt;br&gt;
That colours start to fade.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My rivers turn to poison&lt;br&gt;
As they flow into the sea&lt;br&gt;
My air begins to burn you&lt;br&gt;
While you stare at your TV&lt;br&gt;
Will you eat the coins you're hoarding&lt;br&gt;
Join the hands or wave the arms&lt;br&gt;
Eyes and ears and hearts avoiding&lt;br&gt;
The most wonderous healing balm.
&lt;/p&gt;

And joy will make our spirits sing.&lt;/p&gt;

by puredawn @ 05 Nov. 2005 - 14:11:31&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Trust the voice that is your heart&lt;br&gt;
Comes from within&lt;br&gt;
It is a part&lt;br&gt;
Of all creation.&lt;br&gt;
Just as you wiuld sit and doubt&lt;br&gt;
The voice will grow into a shout&lt;br&gt;
Demands attention&lt;br&gt;
Must be heard&lt;br&gt;
That thought, begun as fragile bird&lt;br&gt;
A small inconsequential word&lt;br&gt;
The inner voice that is your heart&lt;br&gt;
Is very real&lt;br&gt;
It is a part&lt;br&gt;
Of all creation&lt;/p&gt;

by puredawn @ 30 Oct. 2005 - 10:28:26&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;This is the garden of my soul&lt;br&gt;
I walk its paths in pure delight&lt;br&gt;
The earth and sky that make me whole&lt;br&gt;
The magic lives both day and night&lt;br&gt;
No other place restores me so&lt;br&gt;
This healing balm that satisfies&lt;br&gt;
Will lift me up when I am low&lt;br&gt;
My spirit soars its beauteous skies.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Every tree and every flower&lt;br&gt;
Enriches this most lovely place&lt;br&gt;
Minute to minute, hour to hour&lt;br&gt;
Beloved vista changes face&lt;br&gt;
The seasons cycle ambles on&lt;br&gt;
How elegant the tireless ride&lt;br&gt;
The falling leaves, the trailing frond&lt;br&gt;
The gentle petals' vibrant pride&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Within this place there is no star&lt;br&gt;
No plant surpasses all the rest&lt;br&gt;
From highest bough to sweetest flower&lt;br&gt;
Is harmony beyond contest&lt;br&gt;
Each shape, each colour, every scent&lt;br&gt;
Combines to make this world complete&lt;br&gt;
And this is why to you I'm sent&lt;br&gt;
To feel the earth beneath my feet&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;BELOVED GARDEN, HEAR MY VOICE&lt;br&gt;
IN YOU MY HEART IS FULL: REJOICE!
&lt;/p&gt;

Remember the tasks that you set yourself&lt;br&gt;
And the path you wished to walk,&lt;br&gt;
Remember the eyes of those you have loved&lt;br&gt;
And the strength of the arms that embrace you.&lt;br&gt;
Remember all that you have known&lt;br&gt;
And all the lessons you have learned.&lt;br&gt;
Remember all that you are&lt;br&gt;
And all you have ever been.&lt;br&gt;
Remember the way.&lt;br&gt;
Remember the way is not what you expect it to be.&lt;br&gt;
Remember the excitement of an open heart-&lt;br&gt;
The exhilaration of change,&lt;br&gt;
Of trusting the unknown,&lt;br&gt;
Of confronting a fear, of knowing in your heart that you are the best you can be.&lt;br&gt;
Remember it all&lt;br&gt;
For it is all&lt;br&gt;
Is you&lt;br&gt;
Is...&lt;br&gt;
Everything.

by puredawn @ 27 Nov. 2005 - 11:18:41&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I ran so fast that I almost fell over&lt;br&gt;
Made all my choices, Saw clearly the way&lt;br&gt;
The dance that is life with her dainty hand beckoned&lt;br&gt;
Her colours so vibrant, Unable to fade.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Of silver and gold were the rings on her fingers&lt;br&gt;
The softest of leather let feet celebrate&lt;br&gt;
The rise and the fall of the breath in her body&lt;br&gt;
The drape of the fabric a madrigal played.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In mystical spirals her hair polka'd waistward&lt;br&gt;
Revealing, concealing a hand that would ache&lt;br&gt;
To hold in the palm all the fruits of the harvest&lt;br&gt;
To sing all the notes of the song that she made.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Yet the greatest of all was the truth in her eyes&lt;br&gt;
The fulfilment of every dream's efforts to pray&lt;br&gt;
Defiant of word, separated from body&lt;br&gt;
I watch, I wait, I participate.&lt;/p&gt;

Feeling Earth beneath our feet&lt;br&gt;
We laughed the way that lovers do&lt;br&gt;
Feeling joy and love complete&lt;br&gt;
The trees our only shelter- the river flowing by&lt;br&gt;
We both have earth for pillows,&lt;br&gt;
For blanket we will share the same sky.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My beloved! Passion still burns within my heart&lt;br&gt;
I will return to you, Wishing we had never been apart!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The adventure of a youthful mind&lt;br&gt;
Took me far away from home&lt;br&gt;
I bravely fought to hide the tears&lt;br&gt;
As I left you there alone&lt;br&gt;
I look down from the mountain- the river flowing by&lt;br&gt;
I can bear this separation&lt;br&gt;
Knowing we still share the same sky.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My beloved! Passion still burns within my heart&lt;br&gt;
I will return to you, Wishing we had never been apart!&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;To hear you sing like a child at play...&lt;br&gt;
You smile, You laugh, You la la la&lt;br&gt;
Your step has a spring, for on this day&lt;br&gt;
An Angel came from a place afar&lt;br&gt;
And now it grows within your heart&lt;br&gt;
You are aware of a brand new start&lt;br&gt;
It brings to you a dazzling smile&lt;br&gt;
A glowing look, and all the while&lt;br&gt;
You make the journey that began&lt;br&gt;
With love from Angels unto man

Like a warm blanket you wrap yourself around me&lt;br&gt;
I hear you&lt;br&gt;
Singing words of love and joy and encouragement&lt;br&gt;
As I sleep&lt;br&gt;
You rest beside me, our hearts joined as one&lt;br&gt;
As I dream&lt;br&gt;
We travel together hand in hand&lt;br&gt;
I know you are there&lt;br&gt;
For we made a promise-&lt;br&gt;
Creation, me and you&lt;br&gt;
Never to be broken, Sealed with a kiss and tied with a rainbow.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;You know me&lt;br&gt;
You know my heart&lt;br&gt;
How could I ever not love you?&lt;br&gt;
How could I do anything but smile at the thought of you?&lt;br&gt;
How could I not sing your praises?&lt;br&gt;
How could I fail to breathe your name on waking?&lt;br&gt;
Dream of love&lt;br&gt;
Springs making&lt;br&gt;
With you?&lt;br&gt;
My love for you will always be&lt;br&gt;
A river of joy and excitement and anticipation&lt;br&gt;
Because you are you&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;I look around - in all I see&lt;br&gt;
The joy of life smiles back at me&lt;br&gt;
The melody of human voice&lt;br&gt;
All Spirit sings as hearts rejoice&lt;br&gt;
Let all that loves and laughs aloud&lt;br&gt;
My eye seek out as it stands proud&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Today this is a world at play,&lt;br&gt;
experiments&lt;br&gt;
or moulds as clay&lt;br&gt;
What matters now, not what has been,&lt;br&gt;
what this one said, what that one's seen&lt;br&gt;
The future path is undisclosed&lt;br&gt;
For all there is, is love enthroned&lt;br&gt;
So take it in your open hand&lt;br&gt;
Let it flow as soft as sand&lt;br&gt;
See the love in every grain&lt;br&gt;
It is not lost, it comes again,&lt;br&gt;
Is infinite in magnitude:&lt;br&gt;
Omnipotence of Love.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;While the bloom was softly forming&lt;br&gt;
like a blush you looked away&lt;br&gt;
'til the heart revealed perfected petals&lt;br&gt;
proudly greet the day&lt;br&gt;
Passion in the heat of sunlight&lt;br&gt;
Laughing out the purest joy&lt;br&gt;
Innocent, irreverent screams of love&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Yet the stem supporting beauty&lt;br&gt;
thorns deterrent to your plan&lt;br&gt;
Spilling blood upon the garden should you&lt;br&gt;
take it in your hand&lt;br&gt;
For she needs the root she grows from&lt;br&gt;
While she shows her heart to you&lt;br&gt;
You will never own the beauty of a rose&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;When the summer days grow short&lt;br&gt;
The rose's petals drift away&lt;br&gt;
And your heart will stir in anger at&lt;br&gt;
Inconstancy at play&lt;br&gt;
The flower's love was out of time&lt;br&gt;
For you her beating heart&lt;br&gt;
Cherish always, love, the beauty of a rose&lt;/p&gt;
