Susan Allen, thanks for your loving service

I want to thank you for

Your dedication , determination

Devotion of  love through service

In the arts, music and song.

You give my  life a deeper purpose,

a mission, a meaning

I can hear you singing

in my heart

all day long.

In the tiny chapel,

 you trained and laboured

You practiced tirelessly by the hour.

Your voice  to me a heavenly choir.

At-one-moment,

your Spirit took flight.

The song  came alive in your voice.

The pitch,  the tone,

the melody  were perfect .

Just  right. 

Then ,

your loving devotion shone through…

as together we rejoiced. 

I began to listen…

falling deeper into the tone

I floated deep within the song.

I was no longer alone. 

My spirit soared.

My joy along.

I want to thank you for your beauty

your devotion to your craft

as you sing your song. 

You have given me a gift of love…

I feel I should ask for your autograph.

Before,

 the world comes crowding in.

Before,

the fame takes you away.

I want to thank you

for being an instrument of healing…

deep within my heart today.

Love Love Love (Photo credit: Gregory Jordan)

I have been waiting to hear
Because I love you so much
That the Source has sent you the One.
The One, with the touch
Of grace in their speech
With love in their eyes
The One, your hearts reach.
The One, you have longed for
Loves own surprise.
Beloved, I long to hear
of your Beloved Friend
May you walk together
In laughter,
In joy of the Spring
In courage regardless
Of whatever life brings.
In Divine bliss,
In Gratitude`s own kiss.
May you love always
till your Journey`s end.
I love you Beloved…
I am always here
Sending love to you and your friend.

Authors Note   This poem I wrote a few moments ago in response to a contest…but the joy I feel on hearing my young friend`s news about their beloved….is cause to share with the world.   I want to shout from the Mountain top that the Source has brought two loving Souls together.  All three  of us love chocolate milk and cookies, comfort food, warm fire pits and shared secrets.

Brother Lawrence I aint

Image via Wikipedia

I can clean

anything

that has ever been invented:

I can clean your clock,

clean up my vocabulary,

clean my home

clean my mind.

I can scrub

 clean wax and polish.

Today I discovered

I am no Brother Lawrence.

He gave his life in serving others

by washing dishes

scrubbing pots

for years

all day long

   all his life.

As his gift of loving

service in devotion to God

he scrubbed pots

for the other brothers

Image via Wikipedia

in his monastery.

Brother Lawrence is a saint.

Brother Lawrence I aint. 

((However, he practiced the presence of  Spirit.

He was diligent, devoted and determined.

He is a great role model. ))

The table is set, the candles lit

The table is set,

The candles lit

I await your arrival

There are no rivals.

You are my own one true love.

I have waited for you for forever…

I am with you in the skies above.

I am with you in the sunset,

I dance with you in rain…

Hold me in your heart dear till I am in your arms again…….

Meet me in the sunset
Dance with me in the rain.
Hold me in your heart dear
Till I am in your arms again.
We have waited many life times
We have travelled many miles
We have waited for each other.
I guess we can wait a little while.
So until I meet you in the sunrise
Until we kiss as lovers do
I will send love to you my darling
Knowing love will see you through.
Meet me in the sunset
Dance with me in the rain.
Hold me in your heart dear
Till I am in your arms again.
Your eyes hold so much laughter.
Your heart is so full of pain.
Do you not know I am waiting
To be with you again?
I know not the time or season.
I only know you will receive.
I know only this my darling…
You only have to believe.
There is always someone caring.
There is always someone who knows.
There is me my little darling.
Who cares wherever you go.
Meet me in the sunset
Dance with me in the rain.
Hold me in your heart dear
Till I am in your arms again.
So, tonight, in your dreams my loved one
Be sheltered in the love
Of all of those who love you
Both here and up above.
Meet me in the sunset
Dance with me in the rain.
Hold me in your heart dear
Till I am in your arms again.
I will wait for you forever.
Our love was meant to be.
I love you so much darling
That I will always let you be.
Your freedom is my gift to you.
Your laughter yours to me.
So in the twilight of your life
You can come home to see
That I loved you since forever.
Forever, yours I’ll be.
Meet me in the sunset
Dance with me in the rain.
Hold me in your heart dear
Till I am in your arms again.
