Discovering Soultide

It’s strange how the answers were there
Beating against my blind eyes
Like the wings of a dove
 
Clues everywhere
Wanting and needing notice
Blockages in my head trying to win
 
The devil tries to infect my heart
But I’m being watched over
By a loving being who wants what’s best for me

My destiny has been calling
Waiting for me to recognize its voice
But [...]

Unlike the callous oak tree
Am more the palm that bends
And sways, adapting to the wind
Of change, able to withstand
The almighty wind with my understanding
Of pain, the oak stiffens
Happy in its strength yet the
Rain and powerful wind wins the
Contest, as the Oak breaks
And is swept to death

Revel in the beauty of now.
The twinkling eyes of your child
The sound of the wind in the trees
The smell of freshly baked bread.
The feel of a soft blanket on your skin.

There was a lump in my heartA knot in my shouldersA heaviness about my personA strained look on my faceAnd then I learned how to forgive.

No Confidence

Why not just
Be me? 
Instead of 
Labels
Describing who I’m supposed
To be? 

The boat of motherhood, filled with both love and guiltDrifting upon the water of life
As one vessel floating among many vesselsVying for a position of importance and note
When it shouldn’t have to. 

Sometimes I wonder If my little baby boy Can hear mummy say "I love you" When he is deep in sleep 
Can he feel me stroking his brow? And kissing his little cheeks? Can he feel the love That I radiate towards him From the deepest part of me?
I hope he feels something So that when [...]

Sometimes I feel lostIn this journey of the heartWhat twists and turns do I follow?Where do I let my heartstrings lead me to? 
Can this river be the only thingStanding between Love and Hate?Why should we spend our lives swimming back and forthBetween each shore?
If there is only this,The fire and the cold will weaken meUntil [...]

As I meditate on my own struggle for inner peaceI meditate on the world’s struggle for its inner peace
Inner peace translates to outer peace
So many angry peopleNowhere to channel their energies
The hate and anger stir up inside,eating away all that is conscience and good
There is no releaseFrom those who are intent on keeping the [...]

I crept along the tunnel
Until I reached a door
I started to pound and pummel
Until my fists were bloody and sore
 
Splinters pierced my skin
But I didn’t dare stop
I needed to get in
I wouldn’t give up
 
Behind me there were scrapings
Slidings and some shufflings [...]
