INTRODUCTION. About The Author.

Alexandrina was born in Glasgow, Scotland being of Sco sh/Jewish origin. At the age of four and a half she immigrated to New Zealand with her adop ve parents to live in Tauranga, training as a hairdresser from the age of fi een un l mee ng her partner to be, Mark, at Ridgeway’s Circus in 1984, where he was the trapeze ar st, animal handler and clown. Upon Mark leaving the circus the couples own menagerie began.

“For the last 15 years I have been intermi ently wri ng poetry, I feel living with and caring, for Animals and Nature, gives a unique awareness of what life really means.

I feel that this is our purpose, one that is so worthwhile when you look around and see how wonderful the beauty of Nature truly is, something to be shared with all.”

“Some of my poetry has been wri en for family and friends, whereas others have just evolved.

Each have their individual story to tell, many iden fying a problem, then working through the issue, to arrive at a possible conclusion.

I have approximately 200 poems in my collec on which are separated into three books, as the poems are quite diverse in content and would appeal to different types of people, some poems are included in each book as they are of a more neutral theme.

Please know these poems are not in any way meant to cause hurt or offence, They are simply, A Gi of Words ”.

Alexandrina. {My non-de-plume being given by my birth mother whom I was re-united with in 1994} BOOK 1. THE NATURE OF LIFE. In this book the poems encompass life situa ons and the wonders that Nature has to offer.

BOOK 2. PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE. In this book the poems cover a wide range of topics including Atlan s, Egyp ans, Horizons Beyond and Theories on life.

BOOK 3. THE GIFT OF LIFE. In this book the poetry is of a more “Chris an” theme.

From the me of Christ, our 4

A BOOK OF LIFE. Now I have a book to write, A revised edi on, A Book of Life, To relate to others, In this genera on, Awakening, awareness, To the wonder of Crea on, To know this Planet, Is not lost, To prepare ourselves, Whatever the cost, For what we know, Is what we give, The messages are wri en, In triplicate, Once for the Scep c, To open their eyes, Twice for the Non Believer, Who may be surprised, Thrice for everyone, So there is no doubt, To trust for yourself, What Life is about, So delve within, To find the meaning, To know for yourself, The Gi of believing, The words translate, In overview To reveal to yourself, The Ul mate You, Of beauty within, Throughout all me, For the words all relate, 5

A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES. The world is a place full of possibili es but do we choose not to no ce?

Has it become too much of an effort to realize our poten al?

What has brought about this state of apathy?

Have we lost the ability to care for our planet and ourselves?

The Earth is crying out, being deprived of all it needs to survive.

We reap the benefits it has to give but how much do we give back?

The consequences of our ac ons are becoming more apparent.

We pollute the atmosphere and the oceans with our waste, smothering the filtra on system Nature provides.

Time is running out. What example are we se ng for our children; they are the ones who will inherit what we have begun.

Will there be anything le if we do not end this destruc on?

Nature is figh ng back with earthquakes, bizarre weather pa erns, when will we own up to the responsibility that we are the cause of our planets demise?

Power - what a diverse word. We all have this within ourselves but it is the direc on in which it is channelled is that which we have to be aware of.

Knowledge does not necessarily mean wisdom for it within the understanding of discernment that leads to an inner knowing of who we are and what our purpose in life really is.

We are placed upon this planet as Guardians, the caretakers of the Earth, the creatures and all here that dwell. It is not ours to own - we are merely the tenants.

Why do we have to claim it all for ourselves? that was never the inten on.

To look a er means to nurture, not overcome with our own sense of importance.

The me we spend on Earth is limited-we cannot take with us the materiality we acquire. Hoarding leads to stagna on-it does not sa sfy the inner need of the soul.

For it is Love that we are really searching for, something that cannot be bought or sold, but the joy that it brings holds no boundaries.

We all need to be loved and to love ourselves as each individual is special in their own uniqueness. Everyone has a part to play in the journey of existence but why do we take it upon ourselves to judge others, looking for fault, not apprecia ng that we all have something to give in this interplay of life?

Nobody is perfect; each one makes what we call mistakes, but are they?

Or is it a way of learning and developing who we are.

It does not ma er the colour of our skin or status-we are all one people and it is in this unity that we can succeed, to work together to bring about a change, to stand up for the planet and ourselves, making a conscious effort to save all that is worth saving.

For if we do not our existence will cease to be. Is this what we want to eventuate?

The answers lie within, in the thoughts we project, in our ac ons every day.

We all have the ability to give, and when we do, the richness that it brings will provide an inner peace-that of fulfilment of the soul.

It is me to break down the barriers of conformity and open our minds and hearts, knowing that we can rebuild and re-create an environment for perpetuity, As it is up to us to make the challenge our own, Guided by Love and Faith for the key to survival is Belief.

SANCTUARY TO BE REGAINED. On this planet there needs to be, More people who are environmentally, Caring about the land and the tree’s, The animals the plants, the bird’s and the bee’s Crea ng a world to co-exist, With balance and harmony, That we seem to have missed, A s man has strayed, Being caught up in society, With all the demands and consequences, Of modern technology, Looking out the windows, Of concrete ci es, Where once stood the forests, Oh, what a pity, But the more who can realize, The value within, Changing the process, Not giving in, Wan ng to allow, Nature to flow, By finally giving back, Plan ng more tree’s to grow, As this is the way, It was meant to be, For the whole world was created, As a sanctuary.

7

RHYTHM OF LIFE. Peace within the quietness, the breath of the moment, Sound echoes with care,

Abundant wisdom, reverberates with the vibra on of tenderness, Heralding the awakening, the resonance, the embellishment of love,

Des ny, fortuitous in the embrace, bedazzles with lingering touch, Pathways meld and retract, awakening the light within,

Keys are drawn near, to those whose pitch is a uned to the challenge, Listen to know, the understanding of the threads,

Connec ons magne se the boundaries, the doorways, the memories, Past, present and that which may come, merge in the energy of the bridge, Guilt le unspoken, fear, trepida on once forgiven, Has no substance to surface again,

The polarity of emo ons within, are duelling with weapons held high, Densely amassed with posi ve and nega ve cells, Dependant on the energy charged,

The inten on reveals the purpose, for thought transmits the rays, Interlacing through the projec on of all that we create,

Drawing through, the earthing of the elements, The stability of the heart to encompass the fulfilment, The harmony, the balance, The Rhythm, That is Life.

8

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. If you were to stand, On the edge of the universe, Would you let your spirit fly, To be carried within, The vibra on of light , Across the great divide,

If you believe in yourself, Trust in yourself, Don’t let fear, Take a hold of you, To your own self , Be true.

Or do you, Turn around, Just not willing to see, Al that is out there, Wai ng for you, So many possibili es,

The answers, That we seek, That seem so hard to find, Dilemmas of choice, The quest of the mind,

If you believe in yourself, Trust in yourself, Don’t let fear take, A hold of you, To your own self, Be true, Believe in yourself, Unsure uncertain, Of the unknown To see beyond the veil, Is to have grown, Shimmering confusion, Creates a haze, Within the spiraling con nuum, Of life’s maze, Love ignites the spark, As we all have our part, In the me beyond, The me beyond the space,

Limita ons conquered, When your steadfast In resolve, As life does flow When we evolve, Each step is a journey, Each emo on, Is a gi , The lessons that we learn, Are what it is, To exist, So believe in yourself, Trust in yourself, Don’t let fear, Take a hold of you, To your own self, Be true, Believe In Yourself .

9

ESSENCE OF LOVE. What does the world mean to you?

Which journey does your life, lead you to?

There are many pathways, in this life to take, It is up to you, which decisions, you make, As long as you listen, to your inner voice, To lead and guide you, with your choice, The inner s rrings, a purpose revealed, Preparing des ny, in your chosen field, For everyone has a gi , in this life to offer, Once this is known, we can only but prosper, Challenges accepted, challenges faced, If you listen to your heart, you will find the grace, For the goodness and purity, of your own true soul, Will overcome life’s obstacles, as long as you hold, Onto the values, of the right way to live, Knowing that some mes, we have to forgive, For not everyone has learnt, the basis of caring, That comes with the acceptance, of life preparing, To help one another, and not inflict pain, As there is no measure, no profit, no gain, Everything you do, will come back in me, When happiness is within, it will always shine, Radia ng the joy, the love and the light, Overcoming fear, living life right, For your life is a nursery, to learn the skill, To believe in the essence and love ins lled, Within your being, throughout eternity, To rise above situa ons, wrought from adversity, For if we live life, in a way that is true, Abundance and prosperity, Will ul mately come to you.

10

LIFE’S JOURNEY. What is it we are looking for, when we reach the age to seek?

The why’s and the wherefores, seem just out of reach, Do we have a purpose?

Do we have a goal?

How can there be completeness, When there is emp ness of the soul, Func oning, exis ng, struggling to survive, Dri ing in abandonment, feeling unsa sfied, Constant pressure, no direc on, the mind becoming lost, In a turbulent frenzy, that ul mately bears a cost, Of vision being fragmented, with sha ered illusions, defeat, Twis ng like a knife, if we con nue to keep, Inflic ng our inadequacies, upon our present point of view, Limi ng possibili es, that may be right in front of you,

Be careful what you ask for, be true to yourself, As unpleasant thoughts, nega ve words, can affect your health, Crea ng a distorted vibra on, one of disharmony, Caught in the net of the doub ng self, desperate to be free, But we all live with restric ons, that is how life is, It is the strength that lies within, that conquers the abyss, To reach beyond the boundaries, prepared to take a fall, For it is the journey, that ma ers most of all,

Success it comes in many cloaks, which one do we choose, Therein exists the vulnerability, of all it is we have to prove, To ourselves, not others, it is always a personal choice, In the s llness, in the silence, we hear our spiritual voice, To derive from that oneness, the essence of all that is pure, Is the light within the darkness, Of this you can be sure.

11

LIFE ITSELF. Just what are our thoughts?

When we retreat into the s llness of contempla on, Momentary glimpses, Parallel views of that, which might have been, Reliving memories, Perhaps in recrimina on of past ac ons or words,

Guilt and pain, Carried within the silent place that no-one else can reach, Indignity rises to the surface, Blame suffocates with its own tormented veil, Smothering the true iden ty, For how can we hope to be all that we can possibly be?

If we surround ourselves in distrust, Nega vity expands and creates the vibra on of disharmony, Collec vely gathering like elements, Intensifying with self destruc ve power.

This does not have to be!

The freedom of choice is an inherent gi for each individual to exert, Each decision containing its own consequence of ac on, To forgive ourselves and others, Is the Key to transmit the frequency of atonement, Allowing the peace of the true inner being, To flow within the con nuity that is, Life Itself.

12

PARADOX OF LIFE. Life is but a paradox, A phase in me, a reality, Brought into forma on, All by the ancient deity, The cycle of existence, Con nuing the force, Wai ng for the outcome, When life has run full course, The Aztec, the Inca, The Egyp an and the Jew, History has spoken, In many points of view, For all our different cultures, The message s ll is clear, As the eternal being, Is forever near, For this is the mission, Comple on of the goal, Awakening inner wisdom, The basis of the soul, But many s ll are sleeping, Oblivious to the signs, That have been foretold, As spirituality’s not hard to find, By profit, or by Shaman, Wise Man or by Sage, Throughout many life mes, Till the dawning of an age, An age that’s now upon us, The closing of an era, When life itself will be revealed, To the true believer, For life is but a paradox, A me, a phase, Of reality.

13

BEFORE THE BEYOND. The illusion of infinity, Beckons beyond the boundaries, Of innermost anxie es,

Transmi ng the con nuity, Unlocking the barriers, Of conscious predictability, Necessita ng the observance, Of the unknown essence, That is subservient, To benign the senses, Un l the reality of awareness, Parallels the margin, Of con nuum within the being,

Processing harmony, Radia ng the abundance, Of the quality of existence, Contained within the knowledge, Of the Ul mate purpose, That equates to des ny, The measure of development, Needed to complete the understanding, Of the transmission of life, Throughout, eternity.

14

SCHEME OF LIFE. Beyond our imagina on, There lies a crystal land, Residing forever wai ng, Since me it first began, Fragments of existence, Shards of light dispelled, Out into a universe, It’s purpose for to meld, Into abstract pa erns, Combining to exist, Rising out of the darkness, Filtering through the mist, In conscious thought reali es, We can not comprehend, Where is the beginning?

Will we ever find an end?

We all have the capabili es, To reach beyond our dreams, To connect with possibili es, That some mes can’t be seen, We all have constant anxie es, Problems for to face, Thought transmits the energy, Far reaching into space, Aligning in perpetuity, Pieces for to fit, Into the scheme of life, Evidence to exist, For we cannot take for granted, That, which we don’t know, As acceptance leaves no challenge, To prosper and to grow, Into another dimension, That is always there to find, When we unlock the secrets, The des ny of the mind.

15

THE BLUE STAR. Descending through the obvious, those who come in flight, Hearing the cries of Mother Earth, grieving in Her plight, Depleted of Her riches, contained within the core, Warning signs being given, sadly being ignored, Those who choose to enter, into our atmosphere, Maybe go unno ced, ll they choose to appear, A golden glow of illumina on, heralding their advance, Emerging with surety, the me has come at last, To cleanse the world of impuri es, echoing out in space, Filtering through destruc on, neutralising toxic waste, Some are here to protect, being Guardians of mankind, Others will take advantage, of those corrupt in heart and mind, As choices must be freely given, not forced under control, The vastness of the Universe, has abundance to unfold, To those who truly listen, to the awakening of a dream, A fragmented picture, beyond that which is seen, In another dimension, with harmony and peace, Where man can interact, with beauty and with beast, For trust within the species, of animal and man, Was created in the beginning, when des ny began, To live a life with unity, minds focused as one, A paradise for all to share, a sanctuary for everyone, That is what we yearn for, to emerge and start again, A world filled with no hatred, a planet with no pain, The me is soon approaching, for those who do observe, To re-connect the link, our consciousness has earned, In lessons throughout life mes, to prepare all for the day, When the non-believers accept defeat, The believers are on their way, To re-unite in spirit, in body and in mind, With the Ul mate Creator, The Source of Humankind.

17

LAW AWAKENED. Lost in an quity are the forgo en words, That some me in the future, Will eventually be heard, For hidden in their messages, Is that which is essen al, Guidance and knowledge, For everyone being plen ful, For the secrets that are foretold, Contained within this Planet, Speak of the origins, And the One whom began it, For once again, As once before, There will be an awakening, Of the Law, The one that rules, Within our grasp, Accep ng life’s lessons, From the past, For the future contains, A brand new start, For all of Crea on, With Love in their heart, To congregate, And share a place, In co-habita on, For the whole Human race, The species of this Planet Also have to go, To a place of Existence, In me we will know, For the gene cs contained, Within them the cell, To re-create the Paradise, Where forever, We will dwell.

18

THE CHOSEN TIME. Silhoue es of mystery, Beckon with intensity, Can we ever find the clarity, To see beyond reality?

Lighten your spirit, Unclu er your mind.

As we enter, The chosen me.

A new beginning, A dimensional shi , The world as we know it, Will no longer exist.

The speed of the change, In conscious thought, Will meld the pieces, As has been taught.

The pa ern of existence, The merging of me, Within the expansion, Of humankind.

19

LIFES LESSONS. Within my fear of failure, I shut myself away, Not believing it is possible, to succeed in any way, My talents I keep hidden, so no one else can view, Not realising that unto myself, I am not being true.

My own worst cri c, I am no good, I always used to say, Un l the dawning of realisa on, came to me one day, That it does not ma er, what others think of me, If I focus thought and do my best, I can make it eventually.

Branching out, taking steps to bring about a change, The person I now am, is prepared to start again, Learning how to cope, with situa ons I used to dread, Turning nega ves into posi ves, Constantly within my head, Not allowing my insecuri es, to be brought into mind, Knowing that I am capable, That confidence grows in me.

Looking back I am so grateful, For the lessons I have learnt, Acknowledging that credibility, Is something, I myself have earnt.

20

ME. I gaze unto the stars, within the realms of night, Con nually denying myself, the gi of inner sight, To look beyond the obvious, in all that I can see, Reaching out and finding, the wonder of tranquillity, That exists within the heart of me, which so o en I neglect, Believing only in my inadequacies, denial of self respect,

Life is full of choices, some temp ng in allure, But o en I do not no ce, never being really sure, And with my indecision, I falter and hesitate, Some mes leaving opportuni es, un l they are too late,

For life it is for living, not to be passed by, Knowing that however painful, o en we have to try, Travelling a different pathway, into unknown territory, Maybe for the first me, allowing our true selves to be,

Experiencing emo ons, that as yet have not been known, Fulfilling our inner purpose, accep ng that we have grown, Into a new person, ready to move on, The shadows of our past regrets, finally being gone,

Forgiving those who have hurt us, those who caused us pain, Knowing that it is always possible, to begin again, Now I look into the darkness, that no longer has a hold, For I can see the Light of Hope, And I know that I am Whole.

21

TIME. Take me out, From your busy day, Open your mind and see, A world within a world, For we create our own reality, But have we forgo en how?

Can’t we remember why?

Are we just exis ng, Not really living, As each day passes by, Take me, Make me, Take the me, To make the me, To appreciate, Why do we wait, And try to complicate, All that it is, To be alive, We are all just travellers, Upon the journey of the soul, But do we know our purpose?

Have we found our goal?

Change is experience, Choice is the gi to discern, Each step on our pathway, Is a chance to learn,

A universe parallel Are we one of many, Under the spell, Premoni on, déjà view Wisdom is revealed, To a heart that is true, But it is so easy, To become a puppet, With strength of will, You are your own puppeteer, The threads we weave, They do connect, When there is no fear, For me is but an essence, Of reality, To look beyond the obvious, Is to find des ny, So take me, Make me, Take the me, To make the me, T o appreciate, Do not wait, Or complicate, All that it is, To be alive.

Our thoughts project an image, Our consciousness sets the stage, A kaleidoscope of emo on, Is the passage though each phase, So make me, Take me, Make the me To take the me, 22

THE LAWS OF LIFE. Atlan s was a place, back in me before, Misguided and misinterpre ng, the essence of the Law, The one that was wri en, in me beyond the space, The me of iniquity, a very different place,

For the knowledge that they contained, was an element to transmute, But it progressed much too quickly, and had to be rebuked, For the freedom of the mind, in link with one and all, Can become too powerful, submission had to befall, For their control to manipulate, forge ng the Law of Trust, Became their own worst enemy, corrup ng them with lust,

As the Laws of Life were wri en, in me back at the start, With guidance and with wisdom, for humanity to embark, On a journey of existence, to one day realise, That Love is so important, for in our mind there lies, A piece of the memory, to communicate in thought, To evaluate the lessons, throughout history being brought, Out into the open, for this world to comprehend, To live our lives with honesty, not wishing to pretend, That we have it all, as there is always more to find, When we are in touch, with the Laws of Life, Forever within our mind.

23

JOURNEY THROUGH TIME. The projec on of thought travels through millennia, Existence depends on the process, Of expanding consciousness, Beyond your imagina on.

Thought travels faster than the speed of light, It flows through eternity towards your dreams,

Peace of mind and inner wisdom, Relates to all things you create,

Inner wisdom is the journey of all people, To understand their des na on in life,

Thought transforms the images, Spirit transcends the form, Revealing to you the des ny, Beyond your Ul mate goal.

24

NEW DIMENSIONS. Life is like a chapter, of a con nuing saga, Un l the me has come, for the life herea er, A new phase of existence, on a different level, One day we will know, just what this will herald,

For me is differen al, From what, we do not know, Where shape and form have no significance, When life itself does flow,

The weightlessness of existence, Becoming a being of the light, Beyond the veil of me, When the moment comes for flight,

Into a dimension, the level that we reach, Necessita ng the outcome, Are the values that we seek,

The day it will arrive, For each and everyone, In the me beyond the future, A new horizon has begun.

25

KNOWLEDGE WITHIN. The age old Egyp ans, and their Pharaohs, With knowledge being more, that we are aware of, As they had the power, to open their mind, In direct communica on, with the One Divine, For they had been taught, within technique, Ways of thinking, that we cannot complete, Back from Atlan s, to try again, But the essence of corrup on, s ll remained, From the Tree of Knowledge, throughout eternity, Civiliza ons wrought, from their own adversity, Contained in their ci es, the basis of Truth, But there are always those, who try to dispute, From the Creator, their guidance was given, Again and again, but they would not listen, Interplanetary concepts, forever to grasp, When the secrets of the world, are unmasked, For the me will come, when all will be known, The end of an era, as des ny has shown, For in the me phase con nuum, that we know exists, Are the answers within, our Heavenly gi s, For man is more complex, in thought and in mind, The missing link, is the connec on s ll to find, For when we are in touch, with all our capabili es, Searching within, accep ng with certainty, That there is a power, controlling all elements, Throughout the genera ons, of human development, For the knowledge that remains, right unto this me, Is contained within the memory, Of all humankind.

26

TIME TO RELATE. The spaceships are deigned, to transcend me and space, Superhuman quali es, inherited within their race, That of the occupants, containing the hidden gene, Thoughts being unravelled, the state of in-between,

The human form resembles, to a certain degree, Elements being revealed, when the mind can see, Concepts and objec ves, determining the shape, For there is more than the human eye, can ever contemplate,

For those that come to visit, their purpose to assess, Just why the human species, is crea ng such distress, The life forms on this planet, are sending out the signals, That help is needed, to right the wrongs, of so many individuals, Radia on, nuclear waste, the damage is being done, Crea ng the hole in the ozone layer, Diminishing the protec on from the Sun,

There are those who watch, and grieve this grave mistake, Wai ng ll the me is right, so as to relate, To those who are so different, we should not be afraid, For the future may determine, that they will come to save, As they have been upon this Earth, intermi ently, me a er me, Wai ng ll the memories are unlocked, those within our mind.

27

HORIZONS BEYOND. Planetary influences, guided by the light, Dispelling radiance, brought into sight, With a view to imagine subliminal force, Technology advanced, transmu ng the source, Energy amassed, and brought into being, To the confirma on, that we are all seeking, For the unknown worlds, they do exist, Like the reali es in life, we some mes miss, A split second in me, a full moment in thought, Drawing conclusions, reasoning sought, Time in dimensions, horizons beyond, Forming the structure, containing the bond, That of existence, crea ng the chain, Of life concurrent, being ascertained, Focusing energy, transmi ng the beam, Brought out of the light, remaining unseen, Till the levels of acceptance can recognise, The reali es of existence, not being surprised, For beyond our comprehension, Beyond our conscious mind, Is a configura on, defining the line, Separa ng one world, from that of another, The unanswered ques ons, yet to discover, The passage of energy, from one stage to the next, Comple ng the cycle, of what to accept, When the galaxies emerge, their status refined, Allowing freedom and expansion, of the mind, Without restric ons, of life led before, A new beginning, of me, The unknown to explore.

28

LIFE’S DESTINY. Deep within the memory, Ins lled within your heart, Is a new acceptance, of this world to be a part, Of the coming awareness, the renewal of the gi s, Taking into account, the lessons that are missed, For when we are too busy, With life’s mundane chores, The things that we have planned to do, Some mes become ignored, When the me is right, The pathway begins to form, As this is life’s des ny, Da ng back, To when you were born, The combina on of the forces, Commi ng to the plan, To relate to one and all, How to understand, The Beauty of Crea on, The sharing of the Way, A chance to begin again, A chance for to repay, Not taking for granted, The world and all it holds, But opening our eyes to the wonder, Progressing to unfold, Realising the inten on, Our des ny to perceive, As this life me was created, For the Awareness to Believe.

29

CITIES OF GOLD. We come from a place called Atlan s, Back in me long ago, Our lands and our people perished, Down into the oceans below,

Our ci es of gold existed, But came to their own demise, Our people forgot their teachings, Lust came into their eyes,

Victory became important, Like pride before a fall, Not listening to their hearts, They could have had it all,

The Powers that Be, Redeemed them, And took them to a place, To learn their lessons once again, Corrup on to be replaced,

As once hearts and minds are focused, The journey has begun, When me and space merge together, When you believe, In the Ul mate One.

THE MEANING OF LIFE. Forgive yourself, and let the past go, And you will find, the energy flow, Time in mo on, enhances the good, Believe in yourself, to be understood.

My name is Bardok, I come from the light, We’re here to help the planet, get it right, If we can save, the species of old, A whole new chapter, will begin to unfold, We came in a spaceship, so long ago, To seed the Earth, with the essences we know, We bred with the humans, to further the race, As condi ons were not right, in the realms of space, For the ships from the past, came down from the Sun, The Ul mate journey, of life had begun.

Our descendants are here, their wai ng in line, When des ny leads us, to the awakening me, But we are afraid, You don’t understand, The meaning of Life, The journey of Man.

As Man is a Guardian, tried and true, He just needs to understand, what to do, We’re here to help, just reach out and know, For the Balance of Life, just needs to flow.

31

PASSAGES OF TIME. The way to go, Is beyond your control, You need to experience, The wonder of the mind, Control, You know the feeling is there, Trust the way, It is your des ny.

Prepare yourself, For the rest to come.

Beneath the Tree of Life, A garden grows, Beyond the edge of me, A forest grows.

Wander through, The passages of me, Delve the secrets, Yet to be told.

Wonder how, The make-up is, People find, The way to go, Help yourself, To make one, With yourself.

32

THE LIGHT WITHIN. Images from the past, Are they real?, will they last?, Travelling on a journey, To eternity to be free, The Old Ones, watching over us, Beyond our sight, Giving choices, of wrong or right, Humankind faces challenges, Learning lessons day by day, Karmic debt, is ever reaching, Awakening those, who need to pay, Inner voices within the soul, Hearts of wisdom needing to unfold, The gi of love it has to shine, Reuni ng with the One Divine, A New Age it will come, Li ing spirits towards the sun, Children of the light within, Behold the beauty to begin, Onwards you must now go, Accep ng guidance, of how to grow, Towards a me beyond all words, Where our thoughts and dreams, Are always heard, So lead the way, Of Love and Faith, Give unselfishly, And you will be saved.

33

SECRETS OF TIME. Concepts gathered, lost forever in me, Till we can unlock, the secrets of the mind, Hieroglyphics, the art of the form, Centuries old, civilisa ons born, With the knowledge, for to project, With pa erns of thought, we cannot detect,

For this gi has been forgo en, the image of light, The grasp of reality, the hidden sight, Transmu ng energy, from the solar ray, The essence, the power, was taken away, The link being diminished, elimina ng the source, Life itself, thrown off course, Pa erns of existence, shrouded once more, But transcripts remain, of the mysterious law,

Which lie wai ng, in the desert sand, Un l the me is right, for to understand, As evidence once revealed, cannot be denied, When mankind accepts, There is more to life than we realise.

34

THEORIES OF LIFE. The universal theories, Coming into view, Are a collec on of ideas, Some they may be true, But there is no way of knowing, Memories lost in me, As words conveyed, throughout the years, Lose transla on to define, The ancient symbols from long ago, Before the waters began to flow, Have a meaning we cannot ignore, For they contain the hidden law, Those in touch will come to share, With others, who have become aware, Opening the door, that knowledge abounds, Rela ng in thought, The messages to be found, For the world is remembering, seeking to learn, How forma on began, For we have to return, To seek and to find, a way to respect, The Beauty of Crea on, We are here to protect, For man has been given a unique gi , But with our modern technology We some mes miss, The plan intended for to be, As life is revealed, Through discovery.

35

EARTH REVISITED. The spaceships will come, When the me is right, To assist, With our flight,

Des na on planet Earth, On the dawn, Of our rebirth,

Transi on itself has no bounds, When peace and harmony are found,

Rejuvena on of the species, When we have found, All of the pieces,

To intertwine, The body and spirit, Being prepared, For the me of revisit.

36

SECRETS PAST. The Aztecs, the Indians, With their medicine men, Using ancient incanta ons, That we can not comprehend, For the energy that exists, Contained within the memories, We cannot explain the power, Of their age old remedies, For they have knowledge, To extract the essence, Remembering in thought, The transcendental lessons, Way back in me, Inherited throughout, The evidence for to show, Of which there is no doubt, For wri en on the walls, Of their caves and rock, Inscrip ons of unknown travellers, Never to be forgot, Egyp ans with their pyramids, The design within the shape, The construc on of a triangle, To exist with no mistake, For the three sided emblem, Rising to a point, The presupposing energy, Wai ng to anoint, For one day we’ll see the outcome, The stories will unfold, When des ny is revealed, Life’s secrets being told.

37

GUARDIANS. The shape of a pyramid, Is designed as a tower, Contained within, There lies a great power, The steps were made, To obtain a great height, Upwards towards Heaven, They started their flight, Egyp an people, Were close to us, The knowledge was given, For them to entrust.

To build a great na on, With freedom of thought, But the Guardians of Life, S ll need to be taught.

The lessons we learn, On our pathway of life, Encompasses our mission, And help us through strife.

Ci es of gold, Planets unknown, Eternal people, Once we have grown.

38

ITTY BITTY DITTY. The world with its bureaucracy, Overcomes the individuality, That exists in humanity, Crea ng the conformity, That suppresses spirituality, But it is our responsibility, To allow the possibility, Within the freedom of diversity, Reaching beyond mediocrity, That is present in our society, To extend our percep bility, Further than the eye can see, Joining in thought collec vely, Projec ng the image of harmony, With love inspired unselfishly, To make the effort consciously, To shine our light eternally, Knowing that our des ny, Is more than this present reality, It is the essence to be free, And realise what it is to be, A part of perpetuity.

39

CIRCLE OF KNOWING. The Nothing Becomes, A Something, When me is eclipsed, Within the illumina on of light,

The Source, Where substance becomes, And life begins,

The Knowing, Is the understanding of everything, Where subterfuge knows no boundaries, But cannot dispel the essence contained, Within the junc on of human consciousness, Li ing the spirit of freedom to encompass the All,

The Circle, With no beginning and no end, Interphasing constantly with the then and now, A parallel union with infinity, The des ny of comple on.

40

COMPLETION. Egyp ans and equa ons, contained within the source, Divisions and subtrac ons, bringing them off course, Spli ng the con nuum, degenera on of the power, Confusion of the elements, by moment and by hour, The gender they inherited, was of a lesser strength, Elimina on of the solar waves, deple on of the sense, That of the mind expanded, the ways and means of thought, The transcendental teachings, that they had been taught, Contained within their knowledge, back from long ago, The human race has to evolve, into a stage to grow, When we have learnt the skills, of pu ng together two and two, For when in life things add up, you will know just what to do, The dark-skinned, the light skinned and those in between, A final coming together, of that which is unseen, The pieces of the puzzle, are soon now to unfold, When the secrets of the world, are finally all told, As communica on emerges, coming to the fore, With so many messages, that we cannot ignore, For when man catches up, in me and at the end, When one and one unite, combining once again, For the coming of the year 2011, Signifies the comple on, prophesised in religion, When the date arrives, when the two halves can be added, Earth may gaze once more, at the vessels being landed, As those long ago, looked up with their mind, Their mission on this Earth, was to develop humankind, But man was much too physical, and the line itself depleted, Mistakes made once before, had to be repeated, But we are now evolving, to a me and place, Being revisited by the Old Ones, From the me beyond the space.

41

QUEST OF LIFE. Alone in the darkness, of life’s caress, Emo ons devoid, only emp ness, Overcome by the nothingness, chilling despair, Safe in the loneliness, afraid to care, Constant indecision, teetering on the bridge, Strength does crumble, when fear exists, For to venture from, the solitary nest, Requires the faith, to accept the test, To fly into the unknown, that of uncertainty, Opening the doorway, to vulnerability, Regrets, persecu on, the thoughts invade, But you cannot alter, decisions since made, Do we deserve to be happy?

That is a state of mind, In answering the ques on, Peace is there to find, For to realise self-worth, therein lies the key, To break down the walls, of insecurity, To love and to be loved, is our choice to make, Time is a constant medium, for no-one will it wait, Moments are precious, encapturing the soul, If we do not take chances, where is life’s goal?

Opportuni es are given; Some mes we choose not to see, Denying the power within, To create our own reality, To experience the warmth, Of being one, complete, Is that not the quest?

We do all seek?

42

LIFE’S FOCUS. Focus on that which we wish to achieve Is obtained by listening, to our hearts true desires.

Who Am I? What is my purpose on this Earth?

These are ques ons that we ask of ourselves me a er me, un l we can reverse the process of self denial and trust who we are, taking pride in our accomplishments no ma er how large or small.

For inner sa sfac on is not measured in superficial ways, it goes much deeper than this, for to fulfil ourselves we have to love ourselves, knowing that we are all worthy within our own individuality.

O en it is easy to become distracted, sca ering our direc on and wonder why our minds cannot concentrate, not realising that this in actuality restricts the flow of life.

For if we create turbulence within, our pathway becomes disjointed with complica ons.

But the ability to view life’s set-back objec vely and analyse instead, what it is that we are really searching for necessitates the understanding, that life’s lessons are in themselves, an acceptance of our own humanness’ not our inadequacies.

As how do we know that we cannot succeed if we do not take the me to try, combining our energies towards comple on.

Faith is the key to look beyond, to believe that we all have a unique part in this interplay called life. That there are those who exist in a higher dimension, who are wai ng to offer guidance, their wisdom being available to all that choose to listen, Within the s llness of the inner self, which in turn communicates, beyond that which is seen, to link in thought, with the Universal Source.

For if we can acknowledge and accept that there is a Creator we are never alone, even though doubt and anxiety shroud us within the shadows of despair, it is up to each one, to shine their own special light To dispel the darkness that is hopelessness.

Giving thanks for the gi of each new day and all that it has to offer and apprecia ng the simple wonder of what it is to be alive, as simplicity is the key to synchronicity bringing our abstract wandering thoughts together with focus, to believe that we can achieve and accomplish the purpose of our existence, our Ul mate goals, then it will be so.

Who Am I? I Am Whom I Allow Myself 43

JOURNEY TO GROW. Some mes the obvious eludes, Un l the veil of hindering thought is li ed,

Frustra on only sca ers the energy of direc onal focus, Anxiety reverberates within this disharmony, Crea ng an imbalance in the ability of the self to perceive the quest,

For as each one seeks to extend, The capacity to understand becomes more certain,

Every aspect of life that is appreciated for the lessons it contains, Fulfils in its given way that which is needed to know, For it is our journey to grow in all dimensions,

Fear is an accumula on of distrust, For if we do not break the boundaries, Those we so o en surround ourselves with, We negate the possibility of a aining, That which is just beyond our reach.

44

INNER FLAME. You are someone who exudes, the vivaciousness of life, Do not let another’s ac ons; allow this to be sacrificed, Love is such a complex gi , that cannot be defined, How did something so wonderful, become so undermined.

The melody of sadness echoes, haun ng to the extreme, Happiness seems so far away, becoming as if a dream, The illusions some portray, themselves they try to hide, But the true self does reveal, for it cannot be denied, The power that is unleashed, within the controlling word, Truths revealed you never knew, your heart just never heard, Subjugated within confusion, drained unto your soul, The walls of darkness suffocate, entangling with their hold, When you ques on who you are, is there a purpose anymore, But the fire within is simmering, becoming impossible to ignore, As the resilience of the survivor you, during situa ons faced, Becomes the light within the darkness, to be the saving grace, A me for solitude, a me to heal, to find the inner peace, Forgiveness for the pain inflicted, finally being released, Igni ng the progression, accep ng that throughout change, That although being a difficult process, is a chance to re-arrange, To focus on each day, one step at a me, Regaining the strength of living, finding peace of mind, The sense of magic s ll exists, throughout the kaleidoscope of doubt, Flickering beneath the surface, striving to be brought out, Therein lays the inner you, with the zest and determina on to succeed, Having found the self assurance, for in yourself you do believe.

45

SHADES OF GREY. Shadows within the memory, of past existence dwell, A me, a glimpse, an image, forever for to tell, A picture now unfolding, but never quite enough, A dream or conscious thought, Which one do we trust?

Life it is so complex, seldom black or white, But the shades of grey determine, which pathway is right, For contained within the illusion, the passages of me, I the essence mankind yearns for, That which can never be defined.

A parallel con nuum, of choices to be made, Have we made them once before?

Or are we just afraid?

Of opening up the barriers, those that don’t conform, To the way of rela ve thinking, From the moment we are born.

For by blocking out possibili es, Shu ng down the link, Contorts that which is important, Constricts the way we think, Being able to project, beyond all we can see, Unveils our inner purpose, That called des ny.

For mankind walks this planet, so different yet so alike, As we all have capabili es, if prepared to fight, To step out of the darkness, where indecision lies, As hopes and dreams need to be believed, To eventually survive.

47

PROJECT AN IMAGE, LIFE ITSELF, IS LIKE,

A MAZE. 48

JOURNEY OF THE SOUL. There are mes throughout our journey, when despair it overcomes, No solace, nor comfort, can be accepted from anyone, Entrapped by the necessi es, demanding to be met, The subconscious mind is crying out, as ourselves we do neglect, Thoughts in turmoil, losing faith, personal sacrifice, Func oning, exis ng, surely there must be more to life?

Diminishing light, darkness invades, loss of self belief, Draining your very essence, filling your heart with grief, Con nually ques ng for answers, why does happiness elude?

Within the snare of nega vity, we can but remain subdued, As the pain that is carried, throughout life mes filters through, The inherent debt of con nuity, can be atoned only by you, The gi of empathy encompasses, others burdens you do draw, The collec veness of emo ons, their anguish you can’t ignore, As the media taunts incessantly, ins lling the grip of fear, Entangling within our energy, as we silently shed a tear, The mind does conjure scenarios, where percep on can be lost, Do we choose to suffer, to ul mately bear the cost?

Or forgive the world for all the wrongs, as man knows not what he does, Forge ng the simplicity in understanding, that life’s basis it is Love, For we ourselves are not the ones, who have the right to judge, We cannot see through others eyes, that is for the One Above, As each has their own weaknesses, as faults lie within us all, Change is but a moment away, if we but listen to the call, Igni ng the spark, the inner flame, that aches for to be free, We cannot change the past; it’s me to let it be, The protec ve shield needs to be restored, for life’s dilemmas to be solved, As we are constantly tested, in strength and in resolve, To break the bonds that restrict with guilt, to finally release, Reconnec ng your inner being, to find the en rety of peace, To focus your inten on, to strive towards your goal, To feel Love’s warmth, to crystallize, the journey of the soul.

49

LIGHT OF LOVE. Life is a precious gi something to be cherished not taken for granted.

It is a journey, an experience, to exist upon this planet, un l we have learnt the lessons that this life me has to give.

Many dwell on the finality when we pass from this Earth, their morbid fear overriding the zest for life, but when something has ended it allows the opportunity for something to begin, if we let it be so, for to believe is to expand our consciousness into the dimension where faith is revealed, where the Source of Light, awaits our arrival, to guide us home. where our soul is re-united once again with our Creator who assists our passage to the existence of knowing our con nuance, into another phase of growth and awareness that leads to enlightenment.

Each individual necessitates their own purpose, for to achieve, is to understand the steps to take, eleva ng our direc on beyond our limita ons. to project an image, for life itself is like a maze, an abundance of choices, that determine our pathway to use our free will, but it must be tempered with the ability to discern.

Tempta on is forever in our path; life teaches us the consequences of giving in to this demise. for when we can resist, this signifies our inner strength. to rise above that which is alluring knowing that sa sfac on within, is more important than to possess and is essen al for our advancement.

Guilt is something that should not be allowed to fester, as the ramifica ons spread and become distorted. for if our lives become ruled with the inability to forgive ourselves, it will result in our own destruc on, allowing the manifesta on of dis-ease.

Stress a reality of our environment, we strive to succeed, but overlook that, which can be lost in obtaining the goal of prosperity, un l the me when we realise that those years have passed, and cannot in this life me be replaced.

Each day that passes has a significance all of its own, to be appreciated and valued for all that it is worth. if we can learn to be benevolent to ourselves and others, happiness is created for all concerned, but if we close our hearts and shut out the ability to feel empathy and compassion, won’t this surely ex nguish the Light of Love?

That which is at the very centre of our existence, The essence that is, To Be Alive.

50

ILLUSION. Glistening with entanglement, the spider casts it’s web, With form and with structure, within the silvery thread, Unsuspec ng prey may fall into its midst, Causing life to perish, ceasing to exist, Some mes we do not no ce, what there is to see, Being caught up in a world, full of mediocrity, The illusion of a func on, mo on to portray, Not devia ng off life’s course, programmed day by day,

O en it is a gamble, to step off the beaten track, Life may slap you in the face, but it’s never a step back, For lessons that can be earned, with heartache and with pain, Are those that are never forgo en, memories do remain,

As the challenge of transgression, is the hardest one to face, Your conscience being awakened, Is your heart in the right place?

For we all have deep inside ourselves, a power of mind and will, But some choose not to listen, and remain soul s ll,

For it is inevitable, that the silver cord will merge, But life it is for living, not dwelling on how we’ve erred.

51

IT. When you think about it, Don’t, If you say you will, I bet that you, Won’t, Don’t,, think about it, Irra onal Thought.

What is it?

Does it exist?

Well that’s just it, I don’t know, Do you?

Informa on technology, Life’s not what it used to be, Is Big Brother watching me?

Or is this just conspiracy?

To extend, Beyond the norm, To choose, Is to be born, We are our D. N. A. In every moment, In every way, Our iden ty, Is a code, Programmed, To upload, A number, To fit, A name, Upon the list, Data ascertained.

All part of the game, Explain?

Irra onal Thought.

Records kept, Plas c currency, Each step leading, To conformity.

Network control, Satellites observe, Is the voice of the people, Ever heard?

Nega vity invades, With all its different shades, Within fear, Nothing is clear, Posi vity creates, To believe, Is all it takes, Within faith, Doubt is erased.

To share, is to care, To know, is to grow, To feel, is to heal, As we spin, On life’s, emo onal wheel, The answers, Lie within, The spark, The origin, As we play, Life’s game Can integrity, Remain?

Fantasy?

Reality?

Just what is des ny?

Do we walk in the darkness?

Or choose to be free?

Messages subliminal, 52

THE LIGHT OF HOPE. Haun ng depression, the blackness of mood, The chill of apathy, self abuse, Devoid of emo on, an empty shell, Unable to break, the intrinsic spell, When the substance of life, appears to be gone, Inability to connect, unwilling to belong, Ensnared in the mindset, of turbulent thoughts, That smother with intensity, purpose ma ers naught, Whispering voices, that taunt with zeal, Confusion in dis nguishing, just what is real, Searching for answers, percep on lost, Do we submit, or bear our cross, Terrors unspoken, the embodiment of pain, Behind our mask, we choose to remain, Reluctant to burden, anyone else, As this individual conflict, is the ba le of oneself, The sense of hopelessness, insecure, afraid, Within the soulful yearning, to be saved, Therein the realisa on, the analysis of truth, Necessita ng fear, to be removed, Dispelling the delusion, the embodiment of despair, Accep ng the touch, of another’s care, Venturing forth with assurance, clarity of mind, Becoming accessible, when we seek to find, The strength of will, to conquer doubt, Resilience within, to a ain the way out, As the bridge across the abyss, is ours to project, Founda ons being laid, are those of self respect, To forgive oneself, to judge no more, finally at peace, The shadows of remorsefulness, can now be released, To understand with trust and faith, That life is sacrosanct indeed, That there is a light, within our darkest hour, When in ourselves we do believe.

53

CHOICES. Fragmented pieces, of sca ered dreams, Lost opportuni es, there have been, Too many moments, locked within doubt, Unsure and unknowing, where is the way out?

Emo ons in turmoil, secrets we keep, Denying the pain, that is buried so deep, Too afraid to express, how we really feel, Losing the grip, of all that is real,

When suddenly life itself stands s ll, Out of control, beyond your will, Anger takes over, frustra on and fear, Lashing out at those, whom you hold dear, Not knowing the answers, pu ng up a wall, Displaying the facade, of not caring at all,

A lonely existence, but it can all change, If you rise to the challenge, beginning again, With focus and courage, one step at a me, Knowing you have found, Your own peace of mind.

54

ESSENCE OF LIFE. That which is seen with the human eye, Is the world of superficiality, Created by man,

That which is seen through the spiritual eye, The gateway to the soul, Is the true essence of life,

Which, once understood, Reveals, All, That is wai ng, To be found.

55

PURPOSE. What is my purpose?

Why am I here?

The ques ons are many, Answers unclear.

So many voices, With their version of truth, Which are real?

How do we prove?

Evolu on, Crea on, Betwixt, between, The symbols of Life, Are here to be seen, Pyramids of Egypt, Paradise lost, We all bear the burden, Therein the cost, Whispering thoughts, Lingering doubt, Reasoning abstract, Can’t work it out, Trust with your heart, To lead the way, Don’t let the spell of illusion, Lead you astray, The ba les of the Fathers, The wars of the Sons, In the name of religion, Just who has won, Who are we to judge, For we cannot see, Other’s percep ons of reality,

Diversity of culture, Race and creed, We live in a world, Where we need to believe, Life is a vessel, To experience, to know, The skills of the Warrior, Con nue to grow, The flight of the Spirit, Materially bound, It is in giving, We can be found, Reach within to appreciate, It is our choice, Which path we take,

The vibra on of forgiveness, Trea ng others as one, Opens the Gateway Towards the Sun/Son, Emerging from an quity, The images portray, The Truth being revealed, The coming of The Way/Yahweh,

I now know my purpose, Of why I am here, The meaning of Life, Is the light beyond fear.

56

MYSTERIES OF THE PAST.

The Sphinx of Egypt, the lion and the man, The mysteries within, s ll to understand, Knowledge, we cannot comprehend, That somehow, was ascertained,

The pyramids, with their hidden power, Towards the heavens, they con nue to tower, Radia ng their magnificence, up to the sky,

Beyond our imagina on, Beyond our reasons why,

They were built, so structurally sound, With construc on techniques, as yet unfound, For the power of the mind, is not fully used, As the connec on, has been diffused,

Un l we can learn, to look within, And realise our poten al, then we can begin, To unlock the secrets, from the sands of gold, Interwoven in me, history foretold.

57

MEMORIES REGAINED. The beat of your heart, Memories within your soul, The basis of existence, Life’s des ny to unfold,

As the breath of Life is given to you, Beginnings created that are brand new,

To travel the journey, Throughout me, To live Life as intended, By the One Divine,

Learning and experiencing, As me passes by, Till we are re-united, With our Friend in the sky.

58

SUSTAINABILITY. The conclusion, determines the outcome, The process, of inevitability, But the stages of progression, Limit, uninten onally, By not no cing the pa ern, The cycle, of all that is meant to be, Environmental pressures, Invade, constantly, Trapped within the boundaries, Of, technology, The freedom of the natural world, Suffocated by society, Abstract landscapes of clu er, Where forests, used to be, Progress is developing, So, very rapidly, Balance is the compounding fact, The core, necessity, Needed to re-create, All that’s lost, con nuously, Where is the space available?

For Nature, to be free, To exist as intended, ecologically, Re-genera on of the species, To live, in harmony, To think beyond the confines, of, rigidity, Unleashing mind’s that are locked, Within their own capacity, To evolve with insigh ul wisdom, That, of clarity, As there needs to be a focus, Towards, security To create a sustainable future, One that remains, In perpetuity.

59

PARANOIA. I gaze into the mirror, who there do I see?

The illusion I portray, or is it really me?

For I doubt my credibility, to exist as others do, Trapped within my wandering thoughts, anxie es forging through, To leave me in a state of mind, where it’s difficult to cope, For surely I am not worthy, to believe that there is hope, Con nually I do analyse, pu ng myself down, With intelligence that appreciates, its me to turn my life around, Struggling with indecision, I surround myself with fear Shu ng out the inner wisdom, my heart longs for to hear, My discernment understands, to realise the focus of my dreams, I have to overcome the confusion, the conflict my mind does scheme, But in this process, this venturing out, beyond my comfort shield, I have to face my vulnerability, that I myself will be revealed, The real me with all my faults, naked and exposed, The side that no-one sees, that no-one really knows, For if I allow this person, to take over me, I cannot hide behind the subterfuge, that is insecurity, I'm scared, I tremor with inner rage, my heart begins to pace, I cannot cope with failure, of making s ll more mistakes, I allow my fear of loneliness, to find solitude inside, Playing out life's dilemmas, within the complexity of my mind, The ques ons they are endless, as I search to find the truth, The answers seem to contradict, ll each one is disproved, I know that I have quali es, that are true and just, But within my nature, I find it difficult to trust, That I am truly capable of achieving anything, Just what is my purpose, should I end everything, A feeling washes over me, a sense of inner peace, The freedom unexplainable, my past I have released, The state of my existence now, will never be the same, For Myself I have forgiven, Myself I love again, These words they tell a story, that does not have to be, If we believe in our poten al, not our inadequacies, And reach beyond the point, the fine dividing line, And accept ourselves, for who we are, When our true selves we find.

60

FREE SPIRIT. Direc onal focus, towards your goal, O en becomes interrupted, paining your soul, The more you give out, you yourself become drained, Your heart understands, but the physicality pains,

A crossroads of choices, to stay or to go, No one can guide you, for within you know, It may not be easy, but your strength will prevail, Venturing forth, as your dreams you set sail, Hesita on restricts, with doubts and fear, Confusing the pathway, that awaits to be clear, The light in the darkness, is calling your name, Des ny in mo on, to begin again,

Horizons expanding, once the step has been made, Prepara on is essen al, in so many ways, In body, in spirit, in soul and in mind, You know yourself, That now is the me.

61

PERCEPTION OF THE SOUL. True happiness, have we lost touch, of the significance therein?

To be aware, of the purity within the moment, the unobtrusive subtly, of vibra on aligned, resona ng in thought, transmi ng through the boundaries of reality, Emo ons vary in degree and intensity, fear and regret, take their toll on the inner self, anguish intensifies, surmoun ng beyond reason.

Irra onality breeds contempt, within the inability to focus, direc on becomes maligned, subjugated by the constraints, within the void that is indecision, Scenarios constantly invade our conscious mind, transient des nies interwoven in me, projec on of hopes and dreams, to encompass the warmth of comple on, that is only to be ascertained, when the heaviness of doubt and guilt can be li ed, The minefield of life, ever-present in the explosiveness of pain, within choice we learn the consequence of ac on, knowledge gained can be u lised in various forms, it is within the intent, that our conscience is revealed, when we reach the depths of despair, the resilience, of the survivor you emerges, suffering being released in the acceptance of truth, For how can we achieve that which we seek? if the limita ons of our innermost anxie es, con nually punish and control, The point of sorrow unleashed, becomes the prerequisite, to the freedom of the mind, to allow ourselves, the percep on of the soul, That waits, Within , 62

TRUTH. Diversity, Is the culmina on of self, For to differen ate, The necessi es of existence, From the distrac on, Of the superficial, One can realise, The understanding, Of free will.

Decisions processed, Without reason, Will eventuate, In the sense of failure, Objec ves sought, With the balance, Of consequence, Will necessitate, The awareness, Of truth.

SWITCH. I li my vibra on, I raise my frequency, I choose to create, My own reality, Filled with abundance, Full of love, I give thanks, To the One Above, Who watches over me, Now and throughout, Eternity.

Step out of the darkness, Into the light, Unlock the gateway, To inner sight, For to visualize, Is to realize, That your hopes and dreams, Will not be denied, If you reach for the sky, And let your spirit, fly high, Our thoughts transmit a signal, Unto the universe, Just what is the message, Being heard, One of joy and happiness, Or is it fear and emp ness, if so, This, is the me, To SWITCH, S ay W ith I ntensity T hat C hange H appens If you allow it to, The decision lies within, The choice is up to you.

We are here to learn, How to perceive,

The angels of the elements, Earth, Water, Fire and Air, Surround with love, A healing glow, Inner peace, they share, This is a gift, For all mankind, If you seek, You will find, To release negativity, Is to spiritually see, The light does crackle, The pitch does change, Life as we know it, Cannot remain, Dimensional shift, Emotional rift, The awakening of, Our consciousness, We can all make a difference, If we choose to listen, The truth is within your soul, Waiting to unfold, So ignite the spark, Open your heart, The journey has begun, Give unselfishly, To be free, Have faith, In the Ultimate One, And lift your vibration, Raise your frequency, Choose to create, Your own reality, Filled with abundance, Full of love, Give your thanks, To the One Above, Who watches over you and me, Now and throughout, Eternity 64

REALMS OF EXISTENCE. Around the corner for one and all, When we have heard the inner call, To once again search and see, What is revealed throughout eternity,

Dimensions beyond our very eyes, Des nies awai ng beyond the skies, Like a sha of light emi ng a beam, Throughout horizons yet to be seen,

The light of Love is forever prepared, To help and guide those who care, About the world and truly know, That the realms of existence, Just need to flow,

Towards the acceptance, That we are not alone, But part of a universe, A place to atone.

65

THE VALUE OF LIFE. So many in this world, Have lost touch with reality, Forge ng how to look, With the eye that cannot see, Caught up in the rat race, Driven to succeed, Just what is the difference?

In what we want or what we need?

Where is the focus?

How o en do we smile?

Are there magic moments?

To make our life worthwhile, Simplicity in essence, Love being the key, The choice it is our own, In whom we allow ourselves to be, Do we have a purpose?

Do we even care?

Exis ng but not listening, With a heart that is unaware, Each day is a blessing, Just to be alive, If you give unselfishly, You will not be denied, Ac ons of integrity, Compassion and empathy, Life’s truths revealed, The essence, of purity, Thought provoking insight, The validity of truth, Brought forth from the darkness, Superficiality being removed, The uniqueness of vulnerability, As each is touched with pain, The tears within our being, Only we can release, or retain, In the acceptance of our weaknesses, The decision to make a change, Percep on being renewed, For self worth to be regained, To value all we already have, For in thankfulness, we find peace, 66

THE DAWN OF TRUTH. The major event Is yet to come, When darkness, Overrides the sun, Heralding the arrival, The dawn of Truth, Do we acknowledge?

Or dispute.

Those who seek, What is there to see, Remain within this present, Reality,

For those who seek, From within the soul, The golden age, Will begin to unfold.

67

FRAGMENTS OF TIME. The circle of stones atop the hill, twilight sets the scene, Their stance is interchangeable, with that which remains unseen, Silhoue es of magnitude, against the backdrop of the sky, Do they have a purpose?

Will we always wonder why?

A breeze caresses with gentle touch, swirling to and fro, Gathering in momentum, those who seek to know, Ancient wisdom subtly aligned, des ned to transmit, Fragments of the puzzle, therein lies the split, The elements of vibra on, remaining self-contained, The secrets of the Old Ones, as yet unexplained, Portals of des ny extending, into the far beyond, Is it where we are heading?

Or where we have come from, The Sun within its cas ng, sha s of direc onal light, Focused illumina on, upon a chosen sight, But have we become ensnared, within the obvious signs?

Or can we re-establish, The capacity of the mind?

The shadows befall, allowing a chill, to intercede and overcome, Do we rise unto the challenge?

Or has the ba le been already won?

A flickering remnant s ll exists, to ignite the inner flame, When we step out of the darkness, to begin again, Memories of life mes past, the lessons that we learn, Are the pages of our des ny, con nually they turn, As the freedom of existence, emanates the All, Awakening the inner spirit, to perceive the call, A universal beacon, that resonates the sound, To be earthed by Crea ons beauty, becoming spiritually found, A melody plays an inherited tune, echoing throughout me, A pa ern within the structure, of the individual line, Connec ng the circle once again, to become the whole, 68

VISION. Vision, Is the foresight, Of expecta on,

Hindered only, By the delusion, Of mistrust.

69

SURVIVAL OF HOPE. Shadows within the memory, of past existence dwell, A me, a glimpse, an image, forever for to tell, A picture now unfolding, but never quite enough, A dream or conscious thought, which one do we trust?

Life it is complex, seldom black or white, It is the shades of grey that determine, which pathway is right, For contained within the illusion, the passages of me, Is the essence mankind yearns for, which can never be defined, A parallel con nuum, of choices to be made, Do we listen?

Do we ignore?

Or are we just afraid?

Of opening up the barriers, those that don’t conform, To the way if rela ve thinking, from the moment we are born, For by blocking out possibili es, shu ng down the link, Contorts what is important, constricts the way we think, Being able to project, beyond that which we see, Reveals our inner purpose, that called des ny, For mankind walks this planet, so different yet so alike, As we all have unique capabili es, if prepared to fight, To come out of the darkness, where indecision lies, As hopes and dreams need to be believed, To eventually survive.

70

REALITY. There is a world, Within a world, If we choose to see,

That which lies, Beyond the veil, Of all that is, Reality.

71

DESTINY. The King will finally, Lose his crown,

When he tries to set, His anchor down,

For what the eye, It cannot see,

Will reveal, Humani es, Des ny.

.

72

CIRCLE OF LIFE. Fortunes are made, Fortunes are broken, With lack of knowledge Being the token, That exists To pay Karmic Debt, Back through me, Till we can respect, The gi s of abundance, That comes from sharing, The most important of all, Being the gi of caring.

Too much me wasted in acquisi on, Too much me lost in repe on, As you pass through, Each phase of life, Another lesson, Is learned within strife, That, which you acquire, Won’t last forever, But Love is eternal, So let’s work together, Having pureness in thought, Reflected in our ac ons, Will eventually lead, To the inner sa sfac on.

Life is a cycle, It will come and go, When the circle is completed, Forever you will grow.

73

TREASURES OF THE PAST. Crystals, stones, gems and rock, Their hidden proper es, have been forgot, The powers they contain, the mysterious element, Unlocking the key, to personal development, For they sparkle with a radiance, emi ng a glow, With knowledge that was lost, a long me ago.

But more and more people, are star ng to find, Expansion of thought, interphasing of mind, Using these treasures, from the past, With their healing energies, so far advanced, The beauty of the crystal, the refrac on of light, The colours of the rainbow, brought into sight.

Topaz, Agate, Amethyst, Jade, From civilisa ons before, these gems have been saved, To provide an awareness, that there is much more, Value to be learned that should not be ignored.

As there is a reason, for their purpose to be shown, Memories regained, from horizons unknown.

74

PARADISE FOREVER. Ancient tribes, Lost to man, People from another land.

Eternal warriors, Through and through, To teach us what we have to do,

God’s of Forests, God’s of Light, God’s forever, In paradise

75

LIGHT OF ETERNITY. Centuries ago, in the me before the night, Interplanetary forces, began an age old flight, To circumvent stability, aeons to create, The opening of the Doorway, The opening of the Gate, Portholes of significance, guidance towards the key, Beginnings of possibili es, becoming reality, Gases melded, projec on formed, solid ma er gelled, Par cles s ll remaining, from inhabitants that dwelled, Upon this very planet, one of many more, In different stages of development, Awakening to the Law, That governs accountability, in phases we come and go, Un l forever remains, for those who’ve come to grow, Being a complete unit, with no lust for the things of man, Aware of the overall picture, that we all need to understand, Infiltra ng energy, above the conscious plane, Help is being directed, by the Old Ones once again, Who have been listening pa ently, as the Planets call is great, Echoing throughout the Universe, The consequences of man’s mistakes, But their interven on, can only be recognised, By those of mankind willing, to look beyond their eyes, With hearts of subtle surety, by ac ons to portray, That a me is coming, heralding the way, A me of re-uni ng, for those willing to see, The light of inner wisdom, Encompassing humanity.

76

INDIVIDUAL TRUTH. Faith, Creates, The Outcome, Of Thought.

Reality, Becomes, The Projec on, Of Time.

Belief, Culminates, Individual Truth.

Existence, Transforms, Clarity of Vision.

Essence, The Journey, Of the Soul.

Comple on, The Union, Within, All That Is. 77

LIFE BEYOND. Pixies, fairies, dwarves and elves, In another dimension, they do dwell, Concep on broken, just a glimpse, No concrete form, or evidence, Was it real?

What did we see?

Another version of reality, Are we really not alone?

Have other life forms, Been also grown?

In worlds beyond, Our conscious mind, Another existence, A parallel me, Visita on granted, to observe, Quiet whisperings, have been heard, In the shadowy mists, In the s ll of the night, Just beyond, our visual sight, Unknown elements, do abound, Without a movement, barely a sound, To help or hinder, How do we know?

What proof do we really have to show?

That there is more to life than this, The answers are wai ng, If you believe they exist.

78

FORTRESS OF THE MIND. Within the castle walls, the recesses of the mind, Doorways to unlock, the passages of me, The corridors of des ny, to seek is for to know, Within each advancement, a chance therein to grow, Meandering through phases, becoming lost in the maze, Throughout all situa ons, mirrors constantly gaze, Reviewing the pieces, in life’s puzzle for to fit, In defeat, in despera on, do we choose to submit?

Trapped within the dungeons, the tormentors do twist, Sanity unbalanced, is it necessary to exist?

Rooms that are entered, those of pain and regret, Overwhelming emo on, lack of self respect, Confused by the issues, as so many do invade, In the truth of the moment, we become afraid, A place where in the nakedness, the bareness of the soul, We reach for our purpose, searching for our goal, The drawbridge is withdrawn, the inner Gates we seal, Allowing ourselves the seclusion, the me for to heal, Exhausted, unburdened, but resolve ascertained, Renewed in the acknowledgement, ready to play life’s game, To ba le, the defender, gathers for tude, The advancement of the challengers, can now be diffused, Founda ons being laid, are solid as rock, Lessons truly learned, will not be forgot, The lonely knight, the warrior, Atop the fortress, now stands, Secure in the knowledge, That strategy is in hand.

The shield of truth, He grasps 79

EXPERIENCE. Life’s not meant to be easy, If it were we not learn, As each step towards enlightenment, Is something that we ourselves, Must learn.

As life’s not meant to be easy, If it were we would not try, But within the struggle, There is something, We cannot deny,

Look into the mirror, Just what do you see?

Everything you have achieved?

Or insecurity?

That challenges make you stronger, Emo ons allow you to feel, The complexity, Within diversity, Of all that is real.

The inner being, The outer shell, The web of illusion, Casts it’s spell,

Have we been, On Earth before?

Can we remember, Who we once were?

Past lives travelled, Within the realms of the mind, Secrets unveiled, At the chosen me.

When acceptance is renewal, When des ny seeks you out, But are we ready to begin?

The symbols of our D.N.A. Vibra on of frequency, Being the gateway, The strands connect, To form the chain, That which has been lost, Can now be regained.

The code that does exist within, Is the basis of our origin, Alignment is the hidden key, To be all that we can be,

For life is experience, As our soul journeys on, Throughout the Time/ space con nuum, Of which we all belong.

80

THE GIFT OF LIFE. Life is like a flower, that's planted as a seed, With tender love and care, essen al to succeed, Establishing the roots, the basis for to grow, The groundwork for the lessons, in life we need to know, The sun it brings the warmth, a light of golden ray, To herald the arrival, of our chosen way, The rain it brings the nourishment, replenishing the thirst, Of all the new found challenges, we experience from birth, Emerging through the ground, this new shoot does appear, Not knowing what to expect, an emo on we call fear, Upwards and onwards, this flower con nues to rise, As we have to give life a go, We have to reach for the skies, The darkening of the clouds, a storm is on its way, It might be just a karmic debt, needing to be repaid, Some they may be swept away, being lost way out of sight, Others their strong founda ons, will help them hold on ght, The beauty of those remaining, blossoms to unfold, To show to each and everyone, their beauty to behold, The colours of the rainbow, in different form and shape, As we all have unique quali es, if we choose to contemplate, The me it is now ending, this cycle of the seed, But remember life it is a precious gi , Something to be grateful for indeed.

81

THE BEAT OF LIFE. Listen to the rhythm of the beat, Listen to the rhythm of the beat, Listen to the rhythm as you tap your feet, Listen to the rhythm of the beat, One step, Two steps, Three steps, four, Just what is it?

Are you looking for?

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Time slips by, Do you stop to think?

Or wonder why?

Where are you going?

Where have you come from?

What is your purpose?

Where do you belong?

Just what are the secrets, You keep?

That in the s ll of the night, Do creep, Guilt, never-ending pain, When yourself you con nue to blame, Allow the shadows, Of the past to be gone, As it is me For to move on, Within forgiveness, There is release, The serenity, Of inner peace, 82

Listen to the rhythm Of your soul, Strive towards your goal, Do not hesitate, The future, Does not wait,

The cycle of life, The wheel does turn, With each passing phase, A chance to learn,

Are you a warrior, Of the Earth?

Or is your life ruled, By material worth?

Power, glory, The desire to control, Or to you does, The beauty of life unfold?

Compassion, humility, Unselfishness, It is within giving, We find true happiness,

Appreciate, Quest for the truth, Within choice, Fear is removed,

83

Tick,Tock, Tick, Tock, Time flows on, In the blink of an eye, A moment is gone,

The vibra on of life, Exists, The tone of which, Does shi , Expanding, Contrac ng, Adap ng, By thy will, The pitch intensifies, As you fulfil, Your des ny, To be free, Unto eternity,

When you listen to the rhythm, Of the beat, Listen to the rhythm of,

THE BEAT OF LIFE. .

84

BATTLE OF THE SOUL. Each one, Has the key, To unlock the doorway, Des ny waits,

The choices, We make, Determine, The pathway, Of our journey,

Light and dark, Surround, Constantly rising, Within,

The test of faith, Is the ba le, Of the soul.

85

ALL THAT IS. (Wri en a er reading the Da Vinci Code.)

Held within the Va can ght, Surrounds with all, beyond sight, Betwixt, between, walls of steel, Secrets tremor, to reveal,

Buried deep, co-ordinates of me, Interwoven, to align, Chambers glowing, the fires of man, Shadows of transparency, yet to understand,

The le , the right, the paths intercede, Tempta on quavers, to deceive, The fruit is borne, the seed is spread, Pa erns of choices, manifest,

Aeons of darkness, shrouded by fear, Ancient symbols, to reappear, To reverberate, in conscious thought, The line of des ny, being wrought,

Pathways of light, shimmering to redeem, The guiding touch, remains unseen, Love transcends, the link, the key, The veil is li ed, when we choose to see,

Entombed with power, hidden truths, Unspoken knowledge, therein the proof, The soul of wisdom, to exist.

The essence of, 86

THE JOURNEY. Warriors of the Earth, Spirits of the Land, The Ancients, Are among us, Since Time began, The Chosen Ones awaken, Beyond the veil, They see, Into another dimension, Of Reality, Where do we go from here?

Our pathway is not clear, Un l we, Release the fear, Of all that is yet to come.

The Ba le then is won, Our journey has begun.

87

TRUST AND BELIEVE. WE ARE THE NOW, Do we know how?

To walk in the light, Prepared to fight, For all that is right, When you’re in touch, With the Universe, Your thoughts and dreams, Are always heard, The bond, within, is s rred, Beyond the spoken word, We resonate a frequency, Unto the realms that you cannot see, The tone, the beat, the pitch, Is the essence, to exist, Love transmits energy, Unto all humanity, That, which you give, You will receive, The mind determines fate, The opening, of the Gate, Do we choose, to step through, To begin life brand new?

Or do we wait, un l it is too late, Trapped in nega vity, Unwilling to break free,

88

Materiality, ensnares, Do we even care?

To control, to possess, Only leads to emp ness, Fear is the chain, Allowing darkness to remain, Freedom is the choice, When we listen to our inner voice, Look for the signs, This is the chosen me, The awakening of the soul, To all that will unfold, So walk hand in hand, Within the Brotherhood of Man, It’s me to understand, That we are all part, Of the Ul mate Plan, Faith is the Key, To fulfil des ny, The lesson of Life, Is to Trust and Believe,

WE ARE THE NOW!.

89

SUBSTANCE. Pathways connect, Intertwine, The melding of moments, The chosen me.

The future, Is an extension, Of the imagina on, For anything, Is possible, Within the minds eye.

Fear, Is the weapon, Of darkness, Faith, Is the sword, Of truth.

Grace is the essence, Of integrity, Solace, The forgiveness, Of self,

Life begins, When substance, Is, Revealed.

90

THE LITTLE THINGS. If your feeling sad and blue, There is something, You can do, Take the time, To unwind, Happiness, is yours to find, Remove the clutter, Release the doubt, Then you can begin, To work it out, For if your mind, Is filled with fear, Nothing, at all, Does seem clear, Think about, What makes you happy, Remember what it to smile, Often it is just, The little things, That make life, So worthwhile, But are we absorbed, By the pressure?

Will we sink or swim?

The game of life, Is ours to play, Belief is the key, To win, We all have, Our own lessons, Some difficult to bear, But with each experience, We become more aware,

Think about, What lifts your spirit, Remember what it is, To laugh, Break free from, The illusion, That is the material path, For to love, And to be loved, Is the fulfillment, Of the soul, The richness that it brings, Has more measure, Than that of gold, So reach out, a helping hand, To those that are in need, The joy it is returned, For all you give, You do receive, Meditate, To create, An inner sanctuary, Connect with the Oneness, Allow your true self, to be, So when you wake up, In the morning, Take a deep breath, And say, I am so very grateful, For the gift, That is each new day.

91

THE INTRINSIC WEB. Two travellers walk, The path of life, So very different, Yet so alike, Both with passion, Both with desire, The inner flame, Ignites the fire, One of darkness, One of light, The seeker sees, Beyond the night, Beneath the veil, The mask of me, The intrinsic web, That is the mind.

92

SECOND CHANCE. This poem was wri en the night I talked to my Natural Mother for the first me.

I know the decision, You had to make, Was the hardest of all, To undertake, To give away, A child so precious, But I understand, And do accept it, This was something, That had to be, You gave me your love, And set me free, Into a world, That you were not a part, But a special place, Remained in your heart, For the li le one, That was born unto you, This was something, You just had to do.

There have been moments, There have been mes, When you have entered, My heart and my mind, Wondering why, And who you were, Emo ons in my heart did s r, But now we have, A second chance, To make up the pieces, From the past, I now know why, These things were done, The gaps been filled, I’ve found my Mum.

93

WISPS OF TIME. Within the circle, The tunnel of light, The depths revealing, Inner sight,

Throughout the spiralling, Wisps of me, We search for, Ourselves to find,

All the parts, To make the whole, The cycle of life, For to unfold.

NATURE’S PLACE. Nature has so many benefits, For all of us to share, But do we really no ce, Are we unaware?

That conscious responsibility, Needs to be revived, To appreciate the value, The beauty before our eyes, As each and every one of us, Has the ability to plant a seed, Giving back to Nature, The chance for to succeed, The concept that we aim for, Is to establish and create, A peaceful Sanctuary, So we can relate, That which is important, Being to live in harmony, With the animals and the birds, In surroundings where they feel free, Interac ng with the species, Le ng future genera ons realize, Just what we can all accomplish, If we take the me to try.
