InBliss, a state of being

Poetry

I try to see the Beauty in everything 
How could you not
 when God's creations are everywhere 
The sun in the sky
grass beneath my feet 
Feeling grounded
Rooted in the I am, that I am 
Nature is what I am
InBliss is where I tend to be 
InBliss I am free 
flowing through life with a stillness 
joy meeting me at every turn 
peace within mind
a heart filled with gratitude 
InBliss is where I want to be 
here right now 
find bliss 
when my mind strays
or a cloud overhangs
I remember InBliss is where I want to be 
so I say hello to the clouds
embracing the now, what is
 instead of what I wish not to be 
InBliss I find peace in my reality 
no stress, just happiness
through Faith in the most high 
God holds my hand as I walk along my path 
Keeping in stride
InBliss is where I Am

InLove, an open heart

Poetry

To be In Love
 Recognizing the light within and all around you
To be In Love is to exist within a state of constant Loving awareness 
Loving everything that you are aware of 
To be aware is a gift 

To be In Love is to melt into this awareness
Our spirit knows Love
In Love fear has no home 
An open heart welcomes truth 

God is Love 
Feel the wind, see God 
Feel the sun's rays, see God
Look at yourself, see Love 
Look at yourself, see God
God is within and all around 

To be In Love is to be Green
Heart chakra emanating light 
Energy flowing freely 
Extending your Love
Receiving Love
To be in Love is to return to nature 
Our true nature, a state of being

To be In Love is to be unique
we are all unique in our ways of being

I am Love
I am Loving awareness 
I am loving Awareness
I am awareness

Writers (Un)block

Creation, Poetry

*A windy Moonday afternoon, the fall has arrived*

Words long overdue, gone a bit long without writing

Felt like I’d forgotten how

Words aren’t overdue, just gone unwritten. You’ll never forget how as long as you truly listen 

Words come to me when I welcome them through 

Listening to words of affirmation replenishes my youthful spirit, replaces the doubt and “lack” of vision 

Words within my imagination waiting to be written

There is no such thing as the perfect time, only the now

Just listen

Words within me will not go unwritten

Words within me are not stuck 

Put pen to paper or hands to keyboard

No matter the medium, keep writing 

The more you write, the easier it will be
