Greeting Dad

Dad slipped away quietly in his sleep today. He was 88. Now he and Mom are reunited and as joyful as two butterflies I watched circling each other as they rose straight up towards the shining sun. I wrote this poem in April 2003.

Greeting Dad

I am older than that Trickster Time

and his mercurial Mother Nature-

older than the stars and Earth

in continuous, evolving creation

with its dramas of rebirth.

I am part of ageless Spirit-

even in this ever-aging body of mine.

Yet when I greet my Dad

I become a child of three

with love-bright eyes and trusting hand.

He’s a humble man of inner strengths,

inspiring and reminding.

I’ve watched his quiet patience

master time and circumstance.

Dad is the northern wilderness to me,

the forests, the water, and the land I love.

Like a little child I see

through my heart when I greet Dad.

Go Within

 

 (my digital music composition ‘Every Winter Ends With Spring’)

Go within. Go within.

Close your eyes.

Let ‘Busy Thoughts’ rest.

Let ‘To Do’s sleep

for there are Treasures

in your deep space within.

Rest your mind. Rest your mind.

Just be aware.

Now you’re aware.

You are aware

of Treasures there

so deep within:

your resources,

your riches,

your wealth within,

Life’s wealth within.

Spend Time within.

Open your chest.

Open your heart

to wondrous Treasures,

transforming Treasures

you’ve carried within.

Treasures to value

are buried deep within.

Here’s Life Itself.

Here’s Brilliant Love

and Beautiful Peace,

Precious Freedom

and Sparkling Joy.

It’s all within.

Feel the wonder

of Life’s presents

in Its Presence.

…Breathe It in…

Then…breathe It out…

This is what

your life’s about.

The Shift

(my digital music composition created through purchase on Catooh/Magix Music Maker- I called it ‘Love Only Love’)(I created this painting in the photo as well:)

We read the News and wonder Why

Humanity is so Impoverished, Desperate,

Oppressed by Fear, Enslaved by Greed,

MOST living without Basic Needs,

while Cultures of Violence spread everywhere.

Our News is ‘Old Stories’, History Repeated, ‘Renewsed’.

Dinosaurs of War STILL Dominate Earth.

Reptilian Gods of Aggression and Deception

with Technologies and Psychologies

STILL Command Human Blood Sacrifice,

feeding Energies of Terror and Pain

to Parasites of this and other Dimensions.

Their Global Agenda: Control the Masses-

Scripting Traditions, World Views, and Tragic Events

to bring themselves Great Wealth and Gain.

POWER OVER is the Name of their Game.

We are Deceived and made Hollow

for Reptile Hearts and Dragon Minds

UNLESS Love is Strong and Hope Remains.

Now Humans Must Learn to Question and Discern.

We Must Adapt, Grow New Senses More Aware,

to Grow in Love and Show we Dare

Be More than Fodder, Feed, and Toys.

Our God is LIFE, with Reverence for Life.

Our God is LOVE, with Respect for Life.

Our God is FREEDOM, liberating Life.

Our God is PEACE, sustaining Life.

Our God is JOY, creating Joy through Life.

We Value Life, THE PRIME VALUE, LIFE.

We are United in Values of Life’s Worth

as Energies SHIFT to Earth’s Rebirth.

Names and Numbers

 

(my digital music composition ‘Fragile Thread’)

 

How Humanity loves to Name and Count,

Name and Count, Name and Count.

We Name Numbers and Count Names.

From Birth to Death we are Names and Numbers,

Names and Numbers, Names and Numbers.

Without Name and Number, do we Exist?

Did we ever Exist?

We Measure and Weigh our Beingness

through Names and Numerical Scripts.

We see all Life through Lenses of Name and Number.

Everything must have a Name. An I.D.

‘Flora’, ‘Fauna’, the ‘Elements’, ‘God’, et al…

We Multiply Languages. We Multiply Names.

Everything must be Counted and Measured.

Observe. Record. Teach. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat…

Memorize. Computerize. Robotize…

Through Filters of Prejudice we Create and Destroy

using Powers of Numbers and Names.

The Civility of Civilizations is Measured

by Names and Numbers. Tested. Observed.

And so it is with us

and all Species who Name and Count

among the Nameless, Countless Stars.

 

 

History As Story-Telling

 

   my digital music composition ‘The Prejudices of Geography’

How we love our Stories,

Old and New,

even with Facts and Fictions

mingled too-

Histories, Hi Stories,

both False and True.

What to Believe? What Not?

Do we Question? Or Not?

Bright ones Dare. Most do Not.

Our Storytellers know

to Repeat…Repeat…Repeat…

Our Story Writers know

their Power…Power…Power…

How we love our Stories,

Old and New,

even with Facts and Fictions

mingled too-

Histories, Hi Stories,

both False and True.

Like A Spaceship

Like A Spaceship (my digital composition-thanks Magix/Catooh)

Like

a spaceship

to the skies…

Like a spaceship to the skies,

we shall rise. We shall rise!

With a love of all Humanity,

we’ll be free. We WILL be FREE!

We’ll cast off thoughts of fear and strife

for a true, sustaining LOVE OF LIFE.

We’ll leave the realms of Fear behind

to explore the best of heart and mind.

We’ll journey far amidst the stars-

not to bring old plagues of wars

or exploit with all-consuming greed

(disguised dark deeds as ‘justified’ need).

We’ll be the best that we can be,

offering LIFE our service with integrity.

We’ll embrace THE GREAT UNKNOWN

remembering the SPIRIT OF LOVE as ‘HOME’,

showing the Universe how we’ve grown.

As we go humbly, deeper, to Grace within

we’ll forgive ‘guilt-trips’ of shame and sin.

We’ll bring to the heavens, Heaven within.

We’ll bring to the heavens, Peace within.

Like a spaceship to the skies,

we shall rise. We shall rise

to where we all can clearly see

LIFE as one vast and glorious Unity

experiencing ITSELF in wondrous Diversity.

Differences and similarities, we’ll celebrate,

leaving behind all fear and hate.

We’ll rise to free ourselves at last,

moving beyond our primitive past

and the shadows it once cast.

We’ll save the best of LOVE EXPRESSED

and just let go of all the rest

with gratitude for lessons learned

through consequences of Karma earned

by nations and persons put to the test,

finding their way to LOVE at last.

We shall not fail in our ascent

when LOVE OF LIFE is our intent.

Great adventures await Humankind

as limits and boundaries no longer bind

to slavish world views we will outgrow-

beyond beliefs that we now know-

evolving and creating as we go.

To higher truths we will ascend-

no lesser dogmas to defend.

Like a spaceship to the skies,

we shall rise. We shall rise

to where we all can clearly see

LIFE as ONE, a wondrous UNITY!

Like a spaceship

to the skies…

we shall

rise!

Dancing Galaxies

Dancing Galaxies

swirling galaxies dance

divinely dance

the sacred streams

flowing through space

sacred streams

of subatomic particles

and waves

singing frequencies

planets and stars

moons and comets

singing frequencies

with such divine

emotion, e-motion

creating and evolving

beauty evoking bliss

power evoking awe

the cosmic dance

of Source Energy

veiled in layers

layer upon layer

countless transparencies

of lives and forms

moving, ever-moving

ever-changing

through, throughout

the watery layers

that flow ever

from the Source

as whirling galaxies

singing and dancing

these sacred streams

all made of Love

boundless Love

flow

flow through space

ever-sacred space

Evocative Scents

Evocative Scents

phlox blossoms

and watermelon

open to whisper

their presence

with evocative

cool sweetness

scents

so like the

subtle scent

that whispers

through woods

and fields

foretelling

Fall’s first snow

the mind begins

to wonder

but the senses

already know

the mind begins

to wonder

will we let

our greed

consume us

as we breathe

polluted air

when does need

transform to greed

when is

so much more

enough

what fragrance

will we gift

our future Earth

to wear

phlox blossoms

and watermelon

faintly whisper

when is

so much more

Enough

Love Applied

Love Applied   (my digital music composition)

Is Race, Religion, or Country your pride

while all others you deride?

Do Cultural Prejudices rule and guide

the Social Laws where you reside?

Do Ancient World Views and Feuds divide

and lead to Human Rights denied?

When will you, you, decide

too many have suffered, too many have died?

When will you, you, provide

your World with hope of Love Applied?

Life creates each and every form

in constant change. You’ll be reborn.

Perhaps into all you now despise.

Perhaps into all you now deride.

Then will you, you, decide

too many have suffered, too many have died?

Then will you, you, provide

your World with hope of Love Applied?

(Shelley Wilson   May 24, 2015)

Ridicule

Ridicule  (my digital music composition)

Ridicule, the Fear of Ridicule…Look how

Ridicule, that Slave Driver of Humanity,

whips and beats us into silent submissions

with merciless cruelties, betrayals, rejections, deceptions…

That sneering Face appears on countless faces,

male and female, in every land throughout the Ages.

Ridicule, that Enemy of higher perceptions,

new understandings, truths to be told,

scorns and mocks with poisoned laughter to uphold

Planetary Powers, Traditions, Structures of Control…

Ridicule, that proud Servant of Human Insanity,

works tirelessly to keep us ever ‘in our place’,

to keep us obedient and fearful and ‘under control’…

“Keep silent ‘or else’!”

“How dare you question!”

“Who do you think you are?!”

Condemnations. Justifications. Ridicule’s lash.

Warnings and Threats. Alienation. Exile. Death.

Yet there are ever those who ‘see beyond’,

who evolve and explore untamed truths that unfold.

Ever those who choose to be free of Fear.

Do you have the courage, brave heart,

to watch Ridicule approach, yet still go on?

(Shelley Wilson   May 23, 2015)

Nature of Earth

earth

Nature of Earth (my digital music composition)

Blessed and beloved Nature

birthed and sustained by

this great and glorious Being

we call our Mother Earth-

we are one with you

and you are one with us.

Our Species, our Humanity,

our growing awareness,

our evolving sentience,

is but part of your Story,

Sacred Nature of Mother Earth.

Your health is our health.

Your well-being is ours.

We are ever and always one.

Our bodies are part of you.

Star-seed and Earth-seed,

we’re all a part of you-

breathing your Air,

drinking your Water,

consuming the food of your Soil.

Our Elements are part of you…

part of all Creatures here,

both great and small.

What conditioned insanities

continually create harm

to our minds and bodies,

our Sacred Nature, Mother Earth?

Help us release our fears

to you, our Beloved Mother Earth.

(Shelley Wilson-March 9, 2015)

Message To Self

Message To Self (my digital music composition)

Message to self:

You are what you eat-

that tasty and delicious meat

of creatures legally tortured in life

and terrorized in painful death

-without conscience or integrity-

-without mercy or gratitude-

-an insatiable greed for sacrifice.

You are what you eat.

Can you face this truth of all that you’ve become?

Investigate and educate yourself.

You’ll see there’s so much more.

Your body has no true need

to be a human carnivore

when Nature offers so much more

healthy fare to feed your body’s need.

Your cells will sing with gratitude.

Another one free of the heartless tyranny,

all Nature will sing with gratitude,

thankful for what you eat

and all you’ll now become.

Not About You

Not About You  (my digital music composition)

Not About You

When all is said and done,

‘your life is not about you.’

What effect did you have in the lives of others?

What do you see as you review?

How did you touch the lives of others?

How did you make them feel?

What did you offer to the lives of others?

What do your days reveal?

When all is said and done,

‘your life is not about you.’

(Shelley Wilson/December 2014)

why i understand

why i understand   (my digital music composition)

i have feasted in Palaces of Power

and starved, powerless, In The Streets…

i’ve been exalted in Victory’s Hours

and denigrated in Days of Defeat…

so many Lives, so many Griefs-

so many Lives, so many Beliefs…

i’ve shouted the loud, angry Battle Cry

and used a small, soft Voice to Question Why…

i’ve seen this World through many Views

and acted (sometimes) on Love’s Clear Cues…

sometimes i ignore or attune to my Soul

whispering ‘Only Love’ as the Glorious Goal

(not ‘Stuff or Status’, Wealth or Fame)

as i travel Life’s Journeys and play Life’s Games…

i’ve explored many Values, both Dark and Light,

to find Understanding and gain Insight…

sometimes i Remember, sometimes i Forget

but each Life is precious and none i regret

whether Human or Other- as in Lives yet to be

Creating and Evolving through Love’s Energy…

judgements

Still Silence   (my digital music composition)

was Narcissus enchanted

by the Beauty of his Reflection

like Philosophers, Poets, Thinkers even today…

was he deep or shallow as they say…

did Narcissus clearly see

the Wonder and Beauty of God

reflected in Life’s Mirror,

every Atom created by Love…

was Narcissus stuck in vanity

or was he simply enraptured

in A Moment’s Eternity

seeing All Life as being Love…

what say Ye Love…

(With Love, Shelley)
