Serenity

I will never tire of the trees

They are my friends 

And speak to me

They wrap around me 

As I meander the path

The pines stand majestic

Tall and proud

While the others are resting

Awaiting Spring

Their barren branches

Will soon have buds

But the sap is still flowing

Inside their trunks

Their presence brings comfort

From the snow and the cold

Their steadfast stillness

Soothes my soul

I eagerly anticipate

When they are in bloom

But I savor these moments

Of sweet serenity

When they share their secrets

Silently with me

MAL 2/3/19

Written mostly while walking (12 small laps) and transcribed to paper from memory and completed after the walk. 

Sun Kissed

The Sun rises gently as I tread
Casting streaks and shadows
Across the icy snow
It greets me cheerfully
As it peeks through the trees
Rising higher with each step
Shining brighter with each lap
The trees shield it from my eyes
Creating beauty as I pass
I never tire of its views
I get a thrill from each glance
I try to capture every moment
But lenses never do it justice
The peace and joy it brings to me
Can never be expressed fully
My images and words
Are my best attempt
To share with the world
The pleasure that I feel 
When it kisses me

MAL 2/1/19
Reflection upon my walk on a sun kissed morning. 

Indulgence

Indulge your senses fully

In all that you do

In every movement of your body

In every rhythm of your breath

In every image your eye captures

In every taste upon your tongue

In every scent that you smell

In every object that you touch

In every moment of your life

Take the time to soak it in

To feel the pulse of your heart

Alive and exhilarated

Inspired and excited

Awaiting your awareness

Of life's marvelous mysteries

Rest in Peace

Make me a channel of your peace

Saint Francis was your guide

You always lived that motto

Peace be with you and also with you

was said at church and as we shared 

a glass of water after getting home

May your eternal soul rest in peace

and may we find peace in our loss

Your love never dies even though 

you are no longer with us

Spread pieces of peace 

down upon the world

and do your work from on high

We love you Mom

We feel your love as we share 

Our final goodbye

Rest in Peace 

with your parents and sister now

Reunited in spirit

Lovingly remembered

Forever cherished

Now we lay thee down to rest

Memorial for my Mom at the burial of her ashes back in her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My sister asked me to write something and I wrote it right before the service as tears streamed down my face. Everyone else felt it as I read it. 

I love you eternally Mom and feel you always with me. 

She passed on February 15, 2o20 and her funeral was

on February 22, 2020 

(2/22, 2020 - 22 and 222 are her signs to me)

My friend said my Mom's soul was the loveliest pink rose. Perfect.

Tired of Trying

To Avoid the Inevitable

Keeping busy Postponing

Cannot Escape the Reality

Weary of Waiting

For a Vaccine or

The Miracle Cure

For the Decree

That will set us Free

That will bring back Me

MAL 4/19/20

This was written in the midst of the stay at home orders that kept getting extended and I thought would never end. As an extrovert it was slowly killing me. This was about a month in. Thankfully we were eventually allowed to socialize with restrictions. My life has been slowly returning to as normal as can be in these times. I will take it. 

Discovery

I see the man that you are and the man you will become
I know the thinker and can sense the dreamer
What dreams dwell inside, waiting to be realized?
As I delve deep into the core, uncovering more,
I put together the pieces of the puzzle of your soul
What lies hidden within is revealed to me
The true image is reflected back as in a mirror
The key is found, unlocking the chamber,
the walls part, and the inner sanctum is achieved
The rare treasure is revealed,
Beheld only by one worthy of its discovery

Ascension

The elements are gathering
The storms are brewing
Transformation is happening
Alignment is imminent
Ascension is upon us

The planes are converging
The light is brightening
Darkness is dissipating
The frequency is facilitating
The change is coming
Embrace the inevitable
Or be lost among the living

Earth is shifting
The ground is quaking
The poles are preparing
The universe is shaking
Sifting and sorting
Examining it all

Supporting and enlightening
Nourishing and nurturing
Generous and giving
Be grateful and thankful

Allow it to awaken you
To enter every cell
Hear its call in your core
Resonating truth to all

Synchronicity

To enhance their awakening
He is a marvelous magician
and his timing is magnificent.

He will call in the followers
When it is time for the quickening
Space and time will bend
and the result will be significant.

The New Earth is coming
The clock is now ticking
The signs are all around us
The numbers are clicking

111 manifesting miracles
222 trusting the universe
333 connecting with the masters
444 angels are awaiting
555 change is coming
666 finding balance
777 accepting blessings
888 attracting abundance
999 the cycle is completed
1010 enlightenment is evident
1111 dreams become reality
1212 alchemy is achieved

For Kyler

United

From far and wide
  they'll hear the call
From whence he came
  to where he's come
United they will stand as one.
Without borders, without fear
What separates will disappear.
Uniting tribes from every region,
Their numbers will become a legion. 
Connected hand in hand
They will spread across the land.
Without judgment, without hate
And which no force can devastate.

The Calling

They are drawn to him
  for more than his looks
They sense in him
  that which is to come.
He will be tempted
  but not abuse his power.
He will be gifted
  when it is the hour.
He has been chosen
  to unify the youth
  to persuade the persistent
  to convince the cautious
  to reward the responsible
  to benefit the believers
  to fortify the faithful
  to expand the elusive
He will publicize the prophecy
  as far as it can flow.
His followers will be multitudinous
  and band together upon the land.
Their connection will be impenetrable,
  strengthened by the will of God.
Their light will be magnetic,
  and brighten inexhaustibly.
Attracting those in need of guidance
Comforting all in need of rest.
Giving hope to the helpless
  and respite for the weary.
Protected by the Cloak of Wisdom
Defended by the Tower of Truth
Increasing Immeasurably
Its bounds unlimited
Until its mission is fulfilled
  and Heaven reigns upon the Earth
Renewed and Reimaged,
Awakened and Aware.
