Lightning Over Mount St. Helens

Mount Saint Helens, Washington

************* 

When the sky is so dark

And the rains fall.

The thunder roars

As the lightning strikes.

We look to the sky

Hoping to get a glimpse

Of God rolling on by.

The splendor of the Lord

Is visible for all to see.

It is easily seen in the colors of spring.

The magnificence of mountain high

And the ocean deep.

It is felt in the falling rain

That sustains everything.

Within the thunderstorm

Is the passion of the Lord.

It is his love that we hear

In the explosive roar.

The lightning strike

Illuminate the darkened sky.

Just as the Spirit is flying by.

And beneath it all

Is the land that sprawls

From the mountains to the

Fields below.

The flowers bow in homage

As the winds of the Lord blow.

A storm may feel for some

To be a discord in a God made space.

What I see is the divinity

That Heaven displays within this place.

In the garden I sit to meditate,

With the sun’s brilliant rays pulling me in.

The air so clear with a gentle breeze,

Is your essence Lord

Calling me to your Sanctity.

As I follow my breath I find you patiently waiting for me.

The chimes sing an Angelic song as you court me along.

The mental haze brings forth your loving grace.

As we stand in our Holy embrace.

Your essence Lord kisses my face.

It is in this very moment of tenderness,

The pureness of my Soul exposed,

That our Spirits meld within this enchanted place.

This spiritual dance an energy exchange strengthens me,

So I go on in this earthly plane.

Knowing the Divinity Lord

Of my Soul exist within Thee.

Your essences is all of me…the love of me…

The past…the present and future of me.

As I sit and meditate in the sacredness of this moment

A fierce explosive buzz interrupts our love.

I sit so quietly yet the Bee is sounding more furiously

Lord I hear you laugh and say, “Just will it away.”

With the power of my mind I spoke,

“Oh Lord, I do not want to go and chase this bee today.”

The aggressive bee zoomed closer to me.

Caught in my hair I had to jump out of the chair.

With a shake of my head and a swat of my hands

 I freed the bee from the head of me.

Now as I sit I have rejoined the earthly plane

With a bee in my hand

And All God’s love surrounding me,

Embracing me and within me.

Sorry Lord, I did not mean to swat so hard.

Night Dreams

Whispers of Eternity” – Adraga Beach, Portugal – Jorge Maia – Featured Photographer

Once upon a dream on a starry night

The land of God arose from the sea

Leaving the water to sit so tranquilly.

In the stillness of this night

The Spirit’s breath moved the earth

To divide the sea.

And now the darkness glows across the world

As the love of Spirit embraces you and me.

It is the essence of God that manifest

The world we see.

It is Divine Law that all created so perfectly. 

In the still of this night along the sea

There is Spiritual Splendor moving in the gentle breeze.

The mystical world of God’s Divinity

Is laid out across our universe

For all God’s children to live their life in harmony. 

In the life of a Soul

The day and night on this earthly plane

Is just a fleeting flash of light.   

God knows the struggles within the human race

Are thoughts without power nor grace.     

The wars between humans will fade away

As the world we know is transformed

By the Heavenly Glow.

The illumination of God’s Divine plan

Has been set in motion

It is Eternal Life for every child, woman and man.

So hear the Lord in the Whisper of Eternity

And watch the darkness glow

Into the life of love and harmony.

Oh God… My Lord.

It is of your accord

I awake to this sacred day.

And on this day I rejoice and say

There is great joy in my love of Thee.

Your light within is burning bright.

Your love is carrying me.

As I live within our union today.

Loving you Lord

Is a wonderful price to pay.

For a life so rich,

Abundant and free.

Within your consciousness

I can have anything that is good for me.

It is your completeness and gentleness

That allows my soul to express so gracefully.

The infinite God so good

Is here for all to embrace

For all mankind in our human race.

There is a land in which I dream

To climb the mountains and swim the stream.

A celestial place in hues of green.

Were the still water is a reflecting glass,

For all to see what is in their path.

It is a place of divine grace

That fills the empty human space.

A place to find the answers to your prayers.

As the color of the sky transforms the land

You know the Truth of God is at hand.

It is where God whispers in the quiet voice.

That you are deserving of all your dreams.

So look into the looking glass and grasp

The magnificence of Spirit and the beauty of Divinity.

Close your eyes and hear the winds as they whisk on by,

Feel the love from the One who embraces you.

You are cherished, loved and adored.

You are the greatest gift from the Lord.

Becoming a blogger has open my world from the small microcosm in which I live to seeing the diversity on this incredible earth.   And today’s poem, I dedicate to a blogger from Indonesia whose words echo within me as a statement of truth for where I have been, where I am, and where I am going.   It has taken me 5 decades to embrace life and to offer up to God each day the things that stand in my path of joy, love, and prosperity.  The words in this poem flowed with the image of Mei  in my mind and heart.   www.meirozavian.wordpress.com  Thank you for sharing your thoughts and world with me.

“Suspended in Light” – Pindus Mountains, Greece – Maria Kaimaki – Featured Photographer

www.photobotos.com April 11, 2012

•*¨*•¸¸¸.•*¨*•☆ •*¨*•¸¸¸.•*¨*•☆•*¨*•¸¸¸.•*¨*•☆•*¨*•.¸¸¸.•*¨*•☆

Suspended in light is a heavenly delight

A sanctuary that emergences from the rock and light.

A place of praise within the heavenly gaze.

This monastery a haven for The Source of the Lord

A place of healing for the spiritual force.

The great Angels and masters rest within this heavenly nest.

A place of worship for the yearning of a Soul

To evolve and grow in the Spiritual Fold.

It is within the eyes of the Lord

That such a great place

Is filled with loving accord.

It is here that I long to be

A Soul who wishes to be free.

A Soul on its journey.

The climax of this earthly life

Another opportunity to do things right.

In the end I will evolve

Within the Spiritual force as a completed Soul.

A developed Soul,

Who shines brighter that the stars on a blackened night.

A Soul so embraced by the Lord,

In a place where heaven and earth flow as one.

No borders, walls or bridges are seen

No division within this Holy Unity.

A majestic place to lay my loving Soul

In praise of God and all he calls.

Within the darkness

I hang my head in sorrow.

Within the darkness

I lose sight of tomorrow.

Within the darkness

 My love festers.

Within the darkness

My light is dim.

Within the darkness

Joy lingers.

Within the darkness

I raise my eyes to Thee.

Within the darkness

The old fades away.

Within the darkness

The new is born.

From the darkness comes

What I am looking for.

I find my way by the light of my soul.

I find my love still burning like coal.

I find my path you lead me so freely.

I find my words you gave to me.

I find my heart

You so embrace within me.

Within the light I shine

Within the light I dine.

I dine on the Eternal feast

You so graciously prepared for me.

Within the light I live

Where an overflowing joy abounds.

Within your source I exist

I exist within heart and mind.

I exist within my cells and organs.

I exist as millions of particles

And all in unity of one.

My one

A one of trillions within this universe.

And trillions within the One.

All within One Source

The One Power

The One Love

The One God and Force.

The Manifesting One

That lives within me.

There is completeness

Within this Unity.

A heart that is young

Will never grow old.

A heart that loves

Will never grow cold.

A heart that is rooted in the right place

Will always be kind and full of grace.

A heart that is always open

Will find itself in everything it meets.

A heart that reaches out

Will be a heart that receives.

(1974-1979)

Today I dedicate this poem to a dear long-time friend.  She is affectionately known to me as ShaSha and has been my best friend since we were 4 years old.  Even when friends don’t talk every day they often have a special bond that allows communication on different levels.  And Sha and I have that bond.   This poem is from my youth and I share it today with love for my ShaSha.  May the burden in your heart be lifted.  I love you!

I am one with Thee

Where my love and prayers

Live in Eternity.

Deep within your source

I reach out like the branch on a tree.

Reaching in love for all to see

My life is filled with Spirit’s divinity.

All I plant grows effortlessly

As the breath of the Lord nourishes me.

The Essence of God is all of life’s force

And loving Thee is the way for me.

In ecstasy I surrender with joy

And reverence for you to see.

Within your source

Love is the only way it should be.

Bounding through my heart

Your essence flows in me.

In silence I pray for all to see

A relationship with God is always free.

Free as the breath I breathe

And the sun that shines

The Love of God is always mine.

It is me Lord who forgets to embrace

The light that never dims

It is me Lord who forgets to see

Your reflection in all of humanity.

There is joy in knowing

You have blessed me with freedom to choose

And I rejoice as I pray,

 “Today Lord I am with you all the way!”

Rainbows and Dust – Bantayan Island, Philippines – Marc Hermann – Featured Photographer

Posted 04/06/2012 on www.photobotos.com

There is a path through God’s universe

Where light floods through the canopy of trees.

The prism of color floats in the smoky haze.

The children so precious and innocent

Ride their bike where only God will gaze.

A land of simplicity and divinity,

And the magnificence of the Lord’s creativity.

With trees so lush and fruit so sweet

A ground cover so green and soft beneath your feet.

A tropical place in heart and mind

A glorious spot for all souls to dine.

An ethereal land that spans beyond my human mind.

A place that signifies the reverence for life,

Within this heavenly sphere.

It is a sanctuary of God’s eternal love

And life without fear.

I am on my journey

And I pray that I walk this way.

To this path in such a holy place

Where I see your luminous grace.

(msuzanne April 6, 2012)

Since I started this blog (3 weeks ago) I have been very inspired by a website called photobotos.com Everyday they feature beautiful and creative photographs that have opened my eyes and heart to other parts of the world, that I have never seen, and now I plan to someday see. With every photo I am struck in awe by the incredible creativity of God. The beauty created in every part of our universe, the diversity in God’s creativeness and yet the similarity, all created out of love and with joy.  I am filled with joy to know I live in this incredible universe with inspirational diversity.
