KNOW I...


 KNOW I... 

"Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it.”  
~Nikola Tesla

Know I, beyond Fear there is FAITH, beyond Doubt there is DELIVERANCE, beyond Trepidation there is TRUST, beyond Dismay there is DIVINITY…

Man in freedom so born is he
Yet shackled he sets himself to be
Oppression dark upon heart yet be lain
The echoes of emotion still held profane
The mind to silence daunting echoes of time past
And free the self from binding chains cast
Memory called to free mind, heart and soul
Alchemy to ring its welcomed toll.

Powerless Be the Taunter... a calling...



Powerless Be the Taunter

Fear and suppression no longer take hold
So be the glory of spirit and soul
Life and valor fill chambers of heart
From which anger and hurt do depart
God's power and reign within abide
Powerless be the taunter, the one to chide
Mind to fathom trove and treasure
Fulfillment and abundance in whole measure
The gift of knowing to mark this very day
Beauty, grace and truth, for blessed be The Way.

 a calling..

Free

free from shackles and binding chain
free of oppression and the inane
free from daunting echoes of taunted souls
free from deception and imposed tolls
free to BE the Creator hails
for Beauty and Truth within prevails.

This Bond


this pain of heart be it borne no more
free be my soul from the bondage of illusion
free be these shackles upon mind upon spirit
free be these binding chains of judgment
this bond upon self be it borne no more
no
more.
