Elizabeth's Poetry Haven
a place of peace, love and freedom of expression
Poetry in this series continues on from the "Through the Mists" phase of the transition in my life which began in July 2005.
(This page is dedicated to my dear friends Eirwen and Helen who are both helping me magnificently in my current phase.... thank you both. I love you)
A PATCHWORK QUILT
A jigsaw of parts
Being pieced together
Its beauty revealed
Moment by moment
As the pieces are
Fitted into place
In the process of
Coming together
Chaotic times seem
To be prevalent
Yet, orderliness
Prevails within chaos
Slowly,a big picture
Becomes evident as
Each piece is lovingly
Fitted, sown firmly
In place to reveal
For all to see.....
The sheer beauty
And magic of life
As a patchwork quilt

GOLDEN HARVEST
It's a small world
In which we live
One of love
With much to give
One where hope
Is ever bright
Beyond the past
Into the light
Light of heart
And sunshine rays
Glowing brightly
Through our days
Child-like innocence
Trust complete
Forward moving
No retreat
Into a present
Of joy and peace
Yesterday's sorrow
All released
Changing heart
And changing thought
Has seen it happen
A new day brought
Time to gather
Reap the sown
Field of wheat
So carefully mown
A future now
Before the eyes
A star of hope
To realise
Imagination
The ground is tilled
Golden harvest
Dreams fulfilled

LIFE IS SO SWEET
Life is so sweet
There is no retreat
Now knowing this
I feel the bliss
Of newness and wonder
The rest now asunder
No longer the past
The present at last
The goodness in all
I choose to recall
No longer is sorrow
In my tomorrow
Love now my choice
In this I rejoice
The sun is now shining
I feel the reclining
All struggle is gone
Past now anon
Future is brewing
Now choices reviewing
Attitude gratitude
No more platitudes
Life it is planted
No longer for granted
There is no retreat
Life is so sweet

ALWAYS ONE MORE....
Always one more mountain to climb
Always one more river to cross
As a child of the light
My flame is burning bright
Coming home to the stars in the night
I give thanks for the love in the world
I give thanks for the grace in my life
All I see on my way
As I move through each day
Is a wonderful view on display
What a joy it is to be here
There is nothing further to fear
For the past is now behind
And I'm no longer blind
In the present is now where I find
I look out at the view before me
All I see is the sunshine on me
And the mountains look a breeze
And the rivers crossed with ease
And the world is free of disease
So my heart is bursting with love
And the joy within comes from above
And within I feel at peace
'Cos my soul has found release
I now know this will never cease
Always one more mountain to climb
Always one more river to cross
As a child of the light
My flame is burning bright
Coming home to the stars in the night

OUT OF THE SHADOWS
Out of the shadows
And into the light
Truth of all being
A glorious site
No longer a need
To hide one's beauty
Joyfully being
Moves one beyond duty
Nothing to hide folks
For in purity lies
The bliss of experience
One's then free to fly
No more inhibitions
As all is so well
Just being the truth
By example it tells
Openness freely
Allows one to trust
That all is ok now
For this is a must
No more then is life
A secret, but open
No more a struggle
The joy is now copin'
With ease and with freedom
Nothing to hide
For all in the open
Out there, not inside
Come out from the shadows
And into the light
The glory of being
One's truth now so bright.

ALL IS WELL
Oh God how I love you
I know all is well
If not look within
It contributes to hell
Examine one's choices
Thoughts one creates
For current situations
Collectively made
The past manifests
In the present is known
The future now certain
By choices, now own
It's all down to choices
Not responsible for your's
Time to examine
Result of the cause
Hallelujah - the wonder
Of love so supreme
The focus important
Resultant the dream
Tragedy results
If that is the focus
Collective or one
The winners the locusts
Compassion I'm willing
To take on the chin
The big picture perfect
'Tis always the win
God He doth look
From above it does seem
His distance removes Him
And thus get the dream
The challenge is seeing
The truth of the call
In loving one sees
The true freedom for all
For me I choose goodness
And hope in God's love
Of joy and all that is
Peace from above
Happiness, freedom
Focus of present
No longer suffering
The past bygone recent
Whatever the journey
One chooses to go
Important to realise
Responsibility shows
All as it should be
Regardless perspective
For me I am happy
Big picture perspective

RELEASING THE SPIRIT
Releasing the spirit
How joyful this is
No longer the holding
Much freedom it gives
Laughing and wonder
Serenity too
Stillness and beauty
Depth now the hue
Glorious feelings
Tranquil and calm
A blissful existence
A wonderful balm
Child-like innocence
Pure and sweet
Depth of maturity
Inner sense meet
Happiness lasting
Being complete
Releasing the spirit
No longer defeat

BE STILL AND KNOW
Be still and know
Allow it to show
Image of Goddess are we
The beauty within
Without now begin
To be for all now so to see
The spirit we breathe
The body our sheath
Soul is encompassed inside
'Tis right time to let
The truth no regret
The beauty of soul now outside
In practically being
The truth for all seeing
The best now that we truely are
In showing the Goddess
It's time for the redress
To balance with caution and care
So know and be still
For this is God's Will
Image at last; all is peace
No more inner conflict
In fact all is now slicked
Bringing forth such a release
It's all about balance
Much more than a side-glance
In being the truth we are doing
Expressing our best
In this we are blest
Rightfully so, no more ruing
The spirit released
Soul's beauty is pleased
In stillness and quiet is love
Knowing and seeing
The truth of our being
Below and within and above
