Her calling, her calling...

Her calling, her calling...

Torrential rains upon roof be they heard

Thunderous calls be this night’s word

Storming skies dark and shadowed they be 

The dawning, and alas, light anew onto thee

What secrets does Mother Earth yet bare

Heed her call for our grace, for our knowing care

Her bounty, our harvest, with sun and rain, blessed be

Her calling, her calling, from mountain tops, sea to sea.

Thunderous Sounding

what be this awakening sweet
where grace and intention meet
what be this thunderous sounding in heart
where all that is has its knowing start
what be this soaring of spirit and soul
where vision is one with heart and goal
this be the Self, the TRUTH to embrace
where all that is blessed in knowing I place
where judgment, reprisal, illusion and demise
be cast aside by Spirit, an awareness wise
beyond the drama and lies yet heard
is the beloved glory of the divine WORD
joyful gratitude to fill my days
so be the embodiment of SELF in PRAISE.

Shadows Cast Gold

night thunder and torrential rain
warming winds do blow
the morning light now to rise
above the darkened clouds
shadows cast gold
alchemic grace I to behold.

Sounding Light

Sounding Light

thunderous was the night
rain in torrential flow
the sounding light fills my room
gray overcast sky in lightning array
the hour comes to pass
the violet ray dons the sky
and I to behold the wondrous beauty.

Thunderous Awakening

In the castle of my mind
In the kingdom of my soul
A thunderous awakening is what I feel
All thought and vision pulsing real
Lightning strikes deep within
Echoing Spirit to deafen the din
A resounding plea in heart be heard
A calling, a calling for TRUTH'S Word.
