"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" - the words of Janis Joplin...freedom is something we all seek whether conscious of it or not.... the ultimate expression of the Divine, in my understanding......

FREEDOM

A silent stillness fills the air
One breathes the smell of roses
heaven's scent is heaven sent
wafts in, in many doses

A golden ray of sunshine
a silver ray of moon
together woven perfectly
a platinum-winning tune

Pure symphonic harmony
each instrument as One
many making joyful song
like children having fun

Wind it whispers gentleness
blowing through the vales
moving yachts upon the sea
by breathing through their sails

Gulls they fly on currents high
they fly, they glide, they soar
floating like the clouds above
they practise more and more

Waves they chase themselves to shore
uniting on the beach
racing back to where they came
they're learning what they teach

Effortless the life as One
the Now's the place to Be
coming, going as the flow
the joy of Being free

WILD AND FREE

Inspired by the Assisians

The sea out my window runs wild and free
blown by a wind that does dare all to Be -
chaotic wave patterns frothing and foaming
onto the shoreline now home from their roaming

From far yonder shores where they've been a long while
they break on the rocks and they give all a smile
the pilgrims' return is a great celebration
yet within the chaos magnificent creation

Each wave a perfect reflection of You
cosmically conscious - a universe in view
divinely perfected in limitless apportion
universal bigbang of endless proportion

Freedom so powerful yet with grace and ease
an ocean of consciousness in sweet zephyr breeze
expansion beyond ever that which seemed possible
makes walking on water no longer impossible

As stars let's adventure in deep outer space
imagine all's possible and with ease and grace
within inner realms is the truth to behold
a story so ancient but breathlessly bold

Creator creating creations supreme
releasing them into the lands of one's dream
returning to Self as one's origin as Source
a great mighty mover of Creator force

So back after 'dreaming' I see my sea view
is All in reflection as Me and as You
as One in all glory so no more be weary
accept we're magnificent 'yond One big-bang theory!

SOUL ENERGY LOVES FREEDOM

Soul is the love that expresses ItSelf
with a gentleness, beauty and calm
free-flowing energy tranquil, serene
its presence a soft soothing balm

Like the river of life in its natural flow
moving on down to the sea
the Soul is the Self in original form
and as consciousness ever so free

Soul Self so pure like a crystal snowflake
unique as in joy it floats by
then melts into Oneness with all other flakes
a breath of sheer magic on high

Soul Energy Loves Freedom of limitless kind
unbounded in order to be
the Self full expressed in unlimited expansion
such love everlasting flies free

LIKE A WAVE ON THE SHORE

Like a wave on the shore is the wave of creation
the in breath and out breath of time
yet all simultaneous in Now, Present Moment
the anchor of Source is a blessing sublime

Self surfs the waves as each rolls to the shoreline
then back once again to the deep
once more to the ocean to surf once again
the wave that is waking us all from our sleep

Source is our anchor which keeps us afloat
as we roll back and forth with the tide
it pulls us and pushes with gentle persuasion
in order we see the true place we abide

The Source as the ocean is calm in its patience
yet times there's a current that's rough
so surfing these tides it behooves us be trusting
that all that is present is perfect enough

So as we move forward in harmonisation
the symphonic sounds of the sea
they rise up in pitch then do fall down again
right on to the shore where the waverider's free

To come and to go like a bird on the wing
as the currents they flow back and forth
the in and the outbreath of All That There Is
is the compass of Source that points always due north

With the wave of creation the time it is present
when All is together again
as One - perfect balance - in love, joy and peace
Self floats on the tide and full freedom does reign

KNOW THYSELF

Jesus says to "Know ThySelf"
'tis purest place to Be
and in so doing one is Being
living life so free

The more that one does know ThySelf
the Self is living Now
for imaged as the Source of All
one's life is magic

Self-realised as All There Is
One is the Presence Being
for Now is All There Is to Be
such Presence is so freeing

To Know ThySelf one loves One's Self
the perfect place to Be
living life as love divine
inherent sovereignty

ALONE AS ALL THERE IS

When Self as alone is experienced completely
a sense of deep peace is e'er present so sweetly
no mother no father no children no other
as One All There Is, there's no sister or brother

For these are just labels of material living
in moving 'yond such 'tis receiving and giving
as One all alone, one is whole as the One
creator, created, creation begun

Full freedom exists as the One, All Alone
self-sourcing at last, free to walk on One's own
as joy, peace and love, as creator creating
a carefree existence, OneSelf, recreating

NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

"Freedom's just another word
for nothing left to lose"
from the song that Janis sang
and perfect for one's muse

More and more in nakedness
when stripping to the core
one wonders who one really is
while stripping more and more

Inside out and outside in
with no place left to go
except allowing Self to Be
and going with the flow

Releasing all and everything
one's standing there alone
all by one's Self - full Self exposed
all bare and on one's own

Death is a birth of Self arriving
freedom's in the air
nothing now at last to lose
carefree and fully there

And here and everywhere around
a ray of golden light
expanding like a rising sun
a bright light in the night

Trumpets sound and angels sing
a cosmic celebration
resounding 'cross the universe
and 'yond to all creation

FREEDOM FROM THE INSIDE

Why does it matter when life is now liven
in perfected glory of all that is given
it's deep on the inside that matters the most
for here is the good of the Holiest Host

Such place is so deep in it's holiest sanctum
it's beat is so gentle in rhyme and its rhythm
it's peace is beyond which has ever been seen
and this perfect place it is ever serene

Sourced from the inside - from there looking out
such freedom this glory - it's love's greatest shout
imperfect's I'm perfect and All is so great
life's good in expression - no more now to wait

For here is the holiest sanctum of time
it's life's perfect rhythm and reason and rhyme
a love that's divine and so holy and pure
and here is the freedom of life's perfect lure

No more now be seeking or fishing outside
for life's perfect place is the heart - it's inside
the cosiest place is the heart of the home
for here is life's freedom - no more now to roam

FLYING WITHOUT WINGS

Vibrations rise, it's time to fly
into the stars, beyond the sky
the heart in perfect beat it sings
and so one flies now without wings

A feather light, all weight released
the past is gone and now the feast
as peace abounds in perfect light
for now one is in joyous flight

A heart its flame is bursting forth
a love explosion fills the earth
divine is present everywhere
for wingless flight's a soul affair

GOD IS FREE

God is free
there is no price to pay
and in this pricelessness
infinite value is afforded
a worth beyond measure
the greatest love of all is ours'
the truth that sets us free
accept this freedom
at its giveaway price

CROSSING THE LINE

Time now for drawing a line in the sand
like the lapping of waves on the shore
in crossing the line there is no turning back
the Divine now is calling me more

Leaving behind all that no longer serves me
there's no-one demanding of me
in walking this way now at last I'm Al-One
and can see I am now free to Be

Need only be present for Self, in so doing
the way of the free I can see
accountable now to mySelf and Self only
and the rest is departing from me

The past now has gone and no longer for me
instead now am present Al-One
no other being I need now consider
so simple is life 'neath the sun

Divine life of freedom continues to beckon
with my back on the past now I walk
have now crossed the line and there's no turning back
as I desire to walk now my talk

DANCE OF THE STARS

You and me we're stars that dance
that light the sky each cosmic night
as sparkling diamonds twinkling bright
we skip and jump in joyful prance

As stars upon the silver screen
we live our stories night and day
as lively oscars on display
open books and fully seen

Time to dance in merriment
in full release of joyous play
no matter whether night or day
as cosmic stars we're heaven sent

So dance the light and love of life
into the stillness of the night
where all is dark, yet perfect light
and no more living daily strife

How perfect is this madrigal
a song of sweetness pure and whole
of love so perfect suits the soul
to move 'yond all that's tragical

So now we dance as souls of light
in union as the wind doth blow
and like the river gently flow
as stars of grace we glow at night

IN SAND OR IN STONE

Footprints in sand or footprints in stone
either the way they're our's to own
some in the flow and some carved forever
no matter all's perfect despite what's the weather

The stone prints are those which will last through all time
and live on forever through challenges of clime
the sand prints will see us be flexible to change
and in there is freedom which may seem quite strange

It shows that all's perfect and nothing is "wrong"
forget all the judgement and sing the true song
of All being perfect and whole and complete
to know this we're able to sort chaff from the wheat

For while all is perfect as we do ascend
we come to a place and see some things need end
for while they are perfect and always will be
we constantly grow and desire to be free

Of that which is long past its date of use-by
and let go in the process of wishing to fly
create footprints in sand in the process of change
yet honour the stone prints of eternal range

NOW IS THE POWER

Time to be wacky, time to break free
time to be wild and different, so be
no more seek approval, nor care what is thought
no more be all stuffed up, run free, don't be caught

Crack open the bottle and celebrate afar
be free in this newness and shine like a star
new cosmic awareness at shaping One's day
unlimited power to live the new way

Leap beyond boundaries in freedom and joy
utilise Source that is our's to employ
be as the full Self, expressed in full bloom
its spring now so let OneSelf spring from the womb

In birthing as newborn One's now free to play
experiencing all life in the new light of day
so be like the wild child awhile in this time
this new life's unknown so enjoy - it's sublime

Who says it's insane to be wild and be free?
it's leap year folk, so it's time now to be
expanded to fullness, the Source of great power
the new day is here and Now is the Hour

IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS

'Tis leap year folks, so time to leap
drum does beat from way down deep
sounding out the call of time
to move beyond to all sublime

Like Big Red who moves with ease
tail in balance his bounds do please
forward momentum to places new
unknown is now the common view

Yet he does in leap and bound
have a perfect flowing sound
like a river flowing fast
Kanga's leaps are n'er his last

He's always moving on his way
his leaps and bounds are his display
that life is balanced, rhythmic, joy
all together as one employ

So like Big Red it's time to move
in leaps and bounds the perfect groove
why not embrace this perfect time
to move beyond to life sublime

OUT ON THE LIMB

Out on the limb the breeze waves the branches
yet this is the place now to be
for out on the limb is where life's fruits grow
and to eat of this fruit one is free

This fruit is now ripe for the picking and eating
by the goodness one's perfectly nourished
so walk to the end of the branch where the fruit is
be rewarded by how one is flourished

So what are these fruits at the end of the branches?
they're love, joy and peace, my dear friend
such pure delights are these for the making
and so worthy are they in the end

So be a risk taker and move into spaces
n'er 'fore you have known in the past
for in these new places expansion's occurring
and life becomes magic at last

AND I AM FLYING FREE

It's a new dawn
in this world of ours'
reflected by the shining stars
and golden springtime flowers
yet come what may
the carpet's walked
towards a shining sun
the past's behind; the moment's now
and I am feeling good

It's a new day
and life is opening wide
perfected by the joy and love
that's deep, so deep inside
the path was narrow
the river's crossed
and paradise is here
co-created with the One
and I am filled with light

It's a new life
an expanded universe
consciously the soul's expressed
and all at last converse
as brother, sister
love abounds
such wonder in our midst
arisen now to walk as truth
and I am flying free

MY NAME IS WILL POWER

My name is Will Power
and now is the hour
to be now the Master I Am
with intent of my will
and my power to be still
my lion lies down with my lamb

'Tis within my might
to be sovereign of flight
and fly like the eagle on high
with call of the breeze
my wings spread with ease
as I soar and I dive in the sky

In being a Master
one's life forwards faster
and frees now the magical child
to laugh and to sing
with the joy that it brings
one climbs up the heavenly spiral

Magnetic attraction
and free from distraction
of all the mundane of the past
as Master I'm possible
and nothing's impossible
as Now's all that matters at last

With heart like a fountain
I'm on top of the mountain
a view of magnificence I see
I'm happy to know
as I go with the flow
all's within my grasp now to be

At One with divinity
I live in infinity
I laugh at the whole cosmic joke
in current uplift
I shape and I shift
unburdened no more by a yoke

My name is Will Power
and now is the hour
to be now the Master I Am
with intent of my will
and my power to be still
my lion lies down with my lamb

I WANNA BREAK FREE

I wanna break free now from all limitation
and move through the air as perfected vibration
I know that there's nothing to stop this creation
like Don Juan and Jesus my perfect relation

Divinely perfected we all are this knowing
and many accept now; it's good that it's flowing
for being the truth that sets one on going
sees one now reaping the seeds of one's sowing

We're born to be free and it's our's for the taking
if we wanna break free then no more be forsaking
instead make a life that's no longer heart-breaking
the power's within so life's our's for the making

Fly free like wind or proverbial bird
shout from the roof-tops, let one's joy now be heard
allow love to flow from the heart in each word
and let go and expand for there's nothing absurd

Break free and explore beyond where one's been
move out of the zone that is comfort - be seen
to take a few risks and do chase the dream
and know that life's magical, peaceful, serene

O WHAT A FEELING

O what a feeling to be free now at last
living life's magic of love 'tis a blast
mystical, magical, perfect rendition
the essence of sound in such high definition

Singing one's life it is pure harmony
symphonic bliss now to eternity
unlimited freedom to do what one will
understanding all is serene and so still

For in this pure stillness is knowing supreme
creator we are now creating the dream
of love that's so pure as essence of life
with joy and such peace it moves one beyond strife

Realisation that one is divine
perfect reflection of all that is fine
attracting to Self as creator are we
the secret of life manifests now to see

Joyfully feeling and singing the truth
nothing is fixed so with freedom comes youth
in eternal now is such graceful perfection
the result is the magic of one's resurrection
