Under That Same Tree

The pause is long enough to fit,
sixteen breaths, a yawn and a rush.
The breeze pushes to accelerate,
the steps of love, the mind is mush.

Approached with care, she sits
beside the woman with gray hair.
Calmer weather now, the love
has made its way into the air.

Listening and offering warmth
the only antidote for worry,
she watches the clouds as they pass
not one of them is in a hurry.

The loving soul who was there first,
took you under her wing and did,
what we are here to do and to be,
like family we all exist under that same tree.

Movement was a bit of a struggle,
so we called for more love
to come to our aid to provide some shade,
and it was a lovely cool break to lean on a new dove.

When we are entrenched inside the light,
we know and we see so brightly it shines,
from one to another, we swim in delight,
because without the braces it can be difficult to fight.

The energy will command you to slow,
even when you are blinded inside,
the flow – it has a way you know,
to send you messages in such a way, to abide.

One more step, one more breath,
there will always be love and change,
but we are nothing without breakage
and repair to remind us of our range.

Have thanks and gratitude for the gift
of your life. We came here in search
of a human experience and to broaden our light,
to soften the blows of those, and to uplift.

The trip was short we made it home,
with the help of the three wise men,
they brought love, kindness, compassion
and supplies to help us and for that, I give them a ten.

We are all under that same tree,
waiting, watching, listening,
loving, building, dreaming, singing,
dancing and laughing; it’s all that there is, you see?

Wherever You Are

I hope you’re reading this wherever you are.
I am thinking about you and everything that you are.
The day was weird today, I kept seeing you when I didn’t want to. 
I walked a lot, watched the ducks, sat in the sun, then it got cloudy, I did too. 

I hope you’re reading this wherever you are.
And that you’re on your way to me, you are, you are. 
Are you coming by train or plane or maybe by car?
Are you walking? It’s probably too far. 

Miles I’ve logged in my mind waiting for you. 
I know what I’m after, I know what I need and it is indeed…inside of you. 
The colour in those around me hold beautiful hue.
But the colour in you, a mix of all of the shades that turn flightless into flew. 

I hope you’re reading this wherever you are.
I’m thinking about the questions you’ll ask me, and how deep you’ll go.
I can’t wait for that moment, I will cry tears of joy that turn to snow. 
Light, fluffy drops, delicate white flakes they will flutter from my eyes, your sweet breath will blow. 

Blowing my snowflake tears away from my face, you will see the light and understand our fate. 
I think about all of the things I can’t wait to tell you, I’m making a list so I don’t forget. 
It’s long, it’s important, you need to know it all, and nothing can wait. 
I wonder where you are tonight, what are you doing, thinking, feeling, I hope you aren’t in regret. 

I hope you’re reading this wherever you are. 
I imagine a cool breeze, clear sky, and your eyes closed, face tipped toward the moon.
Waning crescent it glows on you, you are a star.
Are you getting closer, will it be soon?

I had an idea, in five years from now on the first of June, let’s meet here, at just before noon. 
Do you know where here is? I know that you do, you feel it with all of your might.
We are connected by a special force and it will bring us together when the time is right. 
Trust me dear soul, follow and stay entrenched inside the light. 

I hope you’re reading this wherever you are.
