Elizabeth's Poetry Haven
a place of peace, love and freedom of expression
The beauty of the soul is ever-present and expressed in so many ways... through kindness, tenderness, gentleness, serenity, stillness, silence and inner peace for example, but most of all through love.....
ELEGANCE
An elegance of heaven sensed
on tulle with blossoms white
a butterfly does stretch her wings
while doves a pair so white
a purity of newness felt
within the midnight air
tomorrow dawns a perfect day
it is a spring affair
the seasons come, the seasons go
and life evolves anew
each time one sees a butterfly
or doves in loving hue
such gentleness the scene expressed
serene and innocent
light and dark together now
the fragrance heaven-scent

BREATHLESS BEAUTY
Beauty of soul
breathlessly being
as silver-lined cloud
of moon-like quality
beyond which the sun
golden in hue
shines its light of day
glowing as life
merging as platinum
lifting up life's essence
to heights n'er fore known
the ever-evolving spiral
of eternal purification
ebbing and flowing
a butterfly touch
gentle as a zephyr breeze
soft, serene - a tranquil air
elegance of movement
surreal beauty
the nature of soul

TRUE COLOURS
Cyndi Lauper she sang
in years gone by
a song of renown
no question of why
the song was entitled
" True Colours They Shine"
not quite the original
but surely that's fine
you know what I mean
it's important to see
the original colours
all glistening free
for we were created
magnifico
powerful, unlimited
it is surely so
let's no more question
but now let's accept
the perfect creation
that we do reflect
instantly manifest
all that we can
such elegant quality
the perfected brand
true colours of glory
unique quality
do come from the heart
as soulful beauty

SOFT & GENTLE
It blows ever so gently
this breath of sweet air passing me by
swirling softly through my hair
as I walk the path I almost fly
Such a lightness of step I walk
o'er the hills and through the vales
what views before my eyes
this breeze so gentle sets my sails
No more adrift instead with purpose
I move right on towards the sea
where as the drop is to the ocean
I'm one at last with life as Me
And You, together we do flow
with breath of life that passes through
each of us now softly being
gently glowing, rainbow hue
Eyes which sparkle like the stars
a smile lighting up the face
a depth of soul whose beauty shining
gives to life a loving grace
O sweet air I breathe your moisture
whisp'rin' softly in my ear
how I love this new-found freedom
sounds of song so crystal clear

SPIRIT OF THE WIND
The Spirit She blows as gales and gusts
asserting Her power for in She now she trusts
claiming Her balance - no longer submits
the past is now gone and Her Presence exists
Her presence is evidence that Goddess is here
equanimous now and no longer She fears
and She is in balance at long last with Him
Her Holiness recognised from deep down within
She Holy Spirit the feminine Divine
Goddess of wonder the Now perfect clime
re-membered with reverence and given Her space
Beloved of All in her right sacred place
Breathe Her in deeply each time you inhale
and share Her now widely each time you exhale
for She is the balm which exudes love and peace
and in Her is found such contented release
Miracles abound when She's given her dues
all is now magic and mystical hues
Goddess Divine is now honoured, respected
no more need to blow as the gales reflected
For now She is given her right place in life
her gentleness, calmness and power are now rife
the nurturing, caring of Spirit that is She
as Oneness which brings us to be fully free
Honour the feminine within you and All
for now is the time for equality's call
breathe now with depth, in the wind is She blowing
Her Spirit is Holy and Her bright light is glowing

GOLDEN LIGHT OF THE SOUL
The soul its rays await the call
to shine just like the sun
when at last one sees the light
the victory has been won
For now's the time to see oneself
as "I, the pure Soul"
when with a body harmonised
one then can function whole
At one without the pendulum
which swung one to and fro
one now is free to be at one
in balance with the flow
The golden ray of sunshine
is available to all
within the heart, within the soul
'tis now the perfect call
So let one's soul at last be dressed
in clothes of rays of gold
for then be sure that one is free
to fly as love so bold

That spark of light within us all
the soul our inner flame
desires igniting as the lamp
to burn away the shame
the blame, the conflicts of the past
it's now the time for peace
such sweet remembrance of the truth
our perfect full release
Ignite one's soul, the light of life
eternal way of being
connecting to the One Supreme
of Love forever freeing
surrender all the past for good
and breathe the depth of presence
of Now the time of endlessness
and timeless effervescence
Such light of soul now burning bright
and shining like the sun
no longer darkness of the past
all's light as was begun
the way of light's the way to be
for wonders never cease
reflecting now the Soul Supreme
of love and joy and peace

SOUL SPEAK
Heart it speaks in soulful ways
through breath connected pure
intention one in holiness
and sacredness the lure
Love as one such beauty sought
such perfection known
supremely being naturally
for 'tis the way back home
Peacefulness and joyfulness
and love the truth to be
beyond the known environment
the way to live so free
Speak in tones so gently soft
for then one knows the way
along the path of life that leads
to love in full display
Breathing deep one feels the truth
that all is well and whole
for then one lives from depth of heart
and speaks from one's pure soul

On wings of soul where angels fly
beyond the clouds to yon blue sky
towards the light of timelessness
one's free to be in peacefulness
of silent stillness n'er for known
experience that one's now at home
at last to be in truthfulness
set free to be in joyfulness
where love divine of essence pure
surrounds each soul, the perfect cure
released at last from worldliness
enjoying rewards of fruitfulness
so flying free on wings of soul
one's home at last where all is whole

SHE WHO IS HE
She who is he and he who is she
united in oneness as it's meant to be
androgynous angel, genderless soul
now fully conscious as purposeful whole
Nurturing goodness in loving expression
beyond the five senses to perfect succession
that's soulful awareness, full beauty exposed
true nature that's peaceful, 'tis such sweet repose

O Goddess desireth me ye
thou hath been away long
I feel ye presently
thy beauty doth shine forth
thy gentleness caresses my soul
thy serenity graces my day
thy touch, as the butterfly, nurtures me with love
unite ye me as One
Now - all ways

ONE'S ORIGINAL NATURE
One's original nature is soul
loving, peaceful and wise
positive, good and contented
such nature to now realise
Beautiful, gentle and tender
yet joyful and happy at heart
surrender to this way of being
the way that it was from the start
Lightness of soul in expression
is humble and modest and kind
qualities lived in day-to-day life
becoming much easier to find
So thankful for realisation
this brings to the heart as we walk
the path of full soulful awareness
it's time to move beyond talk
Revealing at last now our origin
one's soul is inherent divine
express it assured of one's worthiness
such beauty deserves now its time

COMPASSION'S SONG
The Magdalene she comes again
this tender one will now remain
to join again with Love Divine
to air her beauty so sublime
E'er so kind is she to all
she lives and breathes her loving call
merciful with heart that cares
her love is one with all she shares
Benevolent this one indeed
her beauty shows in every deed
she understands the human way
which feels her touch both night and day
So soft her tenderness is yearned
uplifting life with heart that burns
away the dross of life's past wrongs
to sing at last compassion's song

THE SACRED BREATH
The simple act of breathing in
the sacred breath divine
the sweetness of the breath of hope
enlightens as fine wine
Filling hearts with sounds and smells
of love magnificent
the gift of grace that lifts the soul
a breath that's heaven-sent
Words on wing that evermore
will breathe into the heart
the truth of love's remembrance
that's been there from the start
Eternal spring of love there is
forever flowing free
within the heart of love in all
Soul's gift eternally

TREAD LIGHTLY
Tread lightly in beauty
as one walks along
graciously giving
to all in heart's song
Joyfully render
in light-hearted way
the song of compassion
and love of new day
Touch life with softness
to melt hurting souls
with tender persuasion
all then becomes whole
Surround all in peace
with heart open wide
embracing in love
that wells from inside
Serene and so gentle
the life walked in light
honours the Soul
and gives pure delight
