Life exists in a lucid paradise.
A place without time or space.
A place within my mind’s grace.
Lucid, so clear, so easy to see
The truth within me.
A lucid mind creates thoughts with reality.
A lucid mind I don’t fear to see.
So clearly defines my verity.
From the confused and clouded spot
I once lived,
I now understand how my thoughts give.
Lucid…clear…transparent is how I see
For the truth of God has clarified me.

****
Everything within the world is a reflection
Of the beauty and love of God’s perfection.
All that live on the earth
Is a birth of God’s loving worth.
Regardless of form, breathe and thought
The creative God gives life
To air, water, and rock.
You are looking into the eyes of the Lord
When you see your reflection
In the watery floor.
All the life that grows from Thee
The stone so rough, polished or pressed
Is formed within God’s breathe.
Upon the stone where the water crawls
The reflections of the land stands so tall.
Clear into the sky you see
While looking down
Is the eyes of God
Beholding all.
Beneath the rock
Is the heart of the Lord.
With vibrations of love,
The ethereal land
Is God’s celestial span.
While on this earthly plane
There is no atom
Without God’s Eternal Flame.

It is early spring
The birds sing the Lords song.
The sun sneaks up over the lawn
Warming the new life that’s born.
The dew covered grass
Glistens in the light.
A little rabbit nibbles in delight.
The bees go buzzing bye
To find a sweet flower
On which to dine.
The butterfly dances across the sky
In all this I see
The Lord’s Smile
Spread across the clear blue sky.
(1976)
For as long as I can remember the beauty of nature has always moved me. Even as a child I would love to watch the dawning day from my bed room window. In the dark I would sit and listen to the sounds of the night. The rain and snow falling has never stopped engaging me. It was and still is in these sounds and sights… I see God. This particular poem I never named. So today I will call it “God Needs No Name.” As god is Omnipresent.

****
There is a city of the Lord
Built upon the rocks.
Below the water flows
As a road for
Travelers to come and go.
In the city of the Lord
The lights and lamps set it a glow.
It is a city that has withstood
The furry of nature and the
Lives of millions
Who walk the stones
To the shore.
In every city across the world
Is the divinity of the Lord.
It is within the buildings.
Within the shops
And within the churches
Standing on the rocks.
There is always light that shines
Where ever life exist.
It is the people who know the light
That bring peace and love
To the land.
It is the children who play
And smile to bring
Joy to the town each day.
It is within every town
That the eternal light of God
Can be found.
It is within every heart
To grow love from a rock.

****
As the Spirit flies in the sky
Above the cannon and rocks so high,
The cascading flow from the water source
Ebbs and course through the core.
The world so grand is created
By the One Spiritual hand.
In a land that flows with
God’s eternal light
Is the land where life exist
In perfect harmony.
Grace between air, water and dirt
Is the inherent nature of the earth.
The water moves
Across the rocks
And leaves a gorge in the core.
The river way
Spawns life and breath into
Those that swim and
Animals that play.
While the trees and plants grow
From the earth’s floor.
The sunlight ignites
The beauty of the Lord.
All life in and beneath the sky
Is a reflection of God’s creative side.
The Spirit that flows through
Air, water, and rocks,
Is the beating heart
And the breath of life.
It is throughout the land
That the Lord’s love spans
Within every molecule
Of air, water, and dirt.
Within every living creature
That roams the earth.

Under the willow
A mother weeps
As she buries her child
Beneath her feet.
The Queen of Heaven
Stands at her side
As she wipes
The tears from her eyes.
The shoots of the willow
The mother ties.
With a wish in her heart
She pleads to the tree
For the release of her grief.
An enchanted tree
The willow weeps
Its limbs hang low
With the heavy leaves.
The shoots whip when the winds blow.
As the priest and priestess pray
For ills to fade away.
As the poet lays to sleep
Beneath the willow the dreams do grow
As the words of the poem start to flow.
The magical tree the willow heals
Those who weep.
And eases the pain
From their tormented sleep.
To bring serenity to the sea of tears
To bring harmony within the earthly sphere.
With the sway of the willow shoots
The mother releases her fears.
Beneath the moon
The willow grows
In love the tree bows it head
To the souls of the dead.
With its arms it embraces
The mother who stands beneath the tree.
And cloaks the poet who lay to dream.
****
Several weeks ago when I was meditating the Blessed Mother came to me. She took my hand and we buried a seed and from that seed grew a big, beautiful willow tree. The limbs so heavy were laden down with the gifts it brings to me. Each day and night I thank Mary and the Lord for this beautiful image now permanently etched in my mind and heart. Several days ago, I was googling the spiritual meaning of the willow and I had to read more on the origins of the Mary. After reading several sites I sat in silence and the poem flowed. I dedicate this poem to all the mothers around the world who have stood beneath the willow tree. For it is said there is magic and healing powers within the willow tree and for thousands of years Mothers around the world have stood beneath the tree in grief…And so the willow weeps…And so the willow heals.

“One of a Kind” – Zhangjiajie National Park, China–Thomas Dawson- Featured Photographer

****
Within a land of hills and trees
Stands mountainous rocks
That tower above the valley low.
Greenery that grows into the misty sky
Above the clouds that drift by.
It is a place of mystic joy
A place of peace
In an earthly plane.
It is an exotic land
That spans the ancient
Space and time.
It is one of a kind
Locked into the
Universal Mind.
It’s uniqueness
Is for all to see
A place of mystery
Of the old and new
China entwined.
The beauty and intrigue
Of such a spot
Is a haven for a heavenly lot.
A place where time has stopped
As the world swirls out of control
The Lord creates a place
For spirits to play.
And man to comprehend
The holy scrolls.
It is a place that takes
Your breath away.
A place to kneel and pray.
A place where ancient spirits lay
The path of God in an ancient land.
A path of the old and new entwined
A place for all people to see
Their own inner Divinity
All One in God…
God One in All.

Dew Drops upon the rose
Glimmer in the light as the sun rose
The freshness of the day filled the air
As a crisp wind was blowing through my hair
As each moment slipped away
So did the silence of the new day
The sweet music of the animals and birds
Was giving dimensions to a story with no words
It was in the silence that I knelt and prayed
As I thanked the Lord for the coming of a new day

I wrote this poem in 1976 when I was on a teen retreat with the Catholic Youth Organization. I sat on my balcony of the lodge and watched the sun rise. It was a very touching moment for me as I felt so connected to the universe and God in that moment.
It is sad but true when I wrote this I loved it yet, was so afraid to share it. I was afraid it wasn’t original. Maybe I read it somewhere and just remembered it. Over the years I shared it a few times but always said “Author unknown.” So today I share it and no matter whom on this earthly plane wrote it…the Author is always God.

In a land of cold
With a floor of ice,
Where the winds
Can freeze a living thing.
There is the breath of the Lord
Creating more than we can see.
In a temperature so cold
Is the reflection of the Divine Soul.
The Soul that lives in everything.
The Soul that burns with the light of God.
The Soul that creates with strength and might
The Soul that extinguishes
The day and ignites the night.
The Soul that treasures all there is
And sees the beauty in the ice,
Can find joy within its life.
For no water, cold or ice,
Can extinguish the burning Soul.
No creature warm or cold blooded
Lives outside God’s fold.

I dance within the heart of the Lord
And In his thoughts I play.
It is the essence of Spirit
That washes my fears away.
I am cradled within the womb
The womb of creation
Where I stay.
With the warmth of Spirit embracing me
I know this is where I want to be.
I lay in the bridal bed
In my naked truth
The truth of my Spirit
With the flow of Eternity.
In earthly terms I am old and gray
In the spiritual world
I am iridescent lavender today.
In my Spirit’s glow
Is the strength of the Lord
And the loving energy that is God’s Core.
While I lay my head
In the arms of my groom.
The breath of life
Fills the spiritual womb.
The womb so vast
It expands out beyond the physical plane.
And far beyond the celestial reign.
Every morning I start my day with meditation. This morning I let my mind rest on the thought “I am one within the Lord…I am in unity with the One.” I quickly felt engulfed by the love of God. It was during meditation these words and images started to swirl in my mind.
I thank the Lord each day for all the gifts he has given me. The words of my poems are from the Spirit and I am so blessed to be the scribe and the one who shares them with you. I wish you many blessings today.
