The new day dawns.....

A NEW BIRTH

Such goodness of the heavens of flowers with rain
where sometimes it's springtime and summer again
yet too doth the autumnal winds blow this way
when almost upon us is winter's display

It's cold and it's wet and the storms they do gale
with winds shearing the treetops on hilltop, in vale
the times they are changing in depths of unknown
where seeds of the future are gestated and grown

In warmth of the hearth is the flickering flame
while outside its snowing, on the inside we're game
to reflect on the moment when all's still and calm
and the silence of the yes'day's embraced in the balm

Of love which is pure and pristine and white
like the wonders of snowflakes so shiny and bright
and the future's gestating inside of each heart
waiting for springtime's new birth - a new start

STORM RAGE

As the storm rages a stillness pervades
detached from the process observed
just like a wild fire out of control
the balance of both is preserved

Circumstances like this 'tis best let unfold
full wrath of the storm let's embrace
for not to allow express purpose it poses
let's not the full cleanse to take place

There in the centre of all the disruption
a calmness pervades everywhere
like the One up above who sees the big picture
it not matters what's here nor there

Detachment from all the discomfort unfolding
as each one does journey their path
the central unfolding of lessons of life
is the essence of One at the hearth

Releasing the charge of the energy blockages
allows one to move on one's way
now in full blessing of perfect relation
with Self and the rising New Day

So let the storm rage and observe its significance
it's only a drama aft'r'all
the play it is ceasing with much more releasng
as we finally answer the call

No more let the storms that rage all around us
become the focus of life
forget all the chaos, allowing the beauty
to be present and holy and rife

COLLAPSE OF THE MATRIX

The mould of the old it is now falling down
collapsing around us each day
the matrix upon which we've based each our lives
we're leaving to find a new way

It is now the best to leave past behind
for it's past the date of use-buy
and now is the time to be love and joy
and peace where the free now can fly

Inevitable it is to surrender it all
and be in the presence of now
where one is as one with the matrix of new
and life goes along with a

What one resists is bound to persist
so best to release all and move
into the new day of heaven on earth
enjoying the rhythm and groove

Chaos will be in the present awhile
as we flow through the process of change
but worthy of trusting the way of unknown
for new order brings home of the range

The new paradise we now are creating
is perfect when visioned in mind
for given this power it will manifest
and trusting the new we will find

That life is no longer the way of the dual
instead we do find all is One
at last we're united and working together
with the power of the great central sun

FINAL COUNTDOWN

Today is the first of the rest of your life
make it enduring and free of all strife
newness surrounds us for now is the time
it is final countdown and love is the clime

Move beyond judgment, no more entertain
that which divides one, together remain
in unity life it does happen with ease
when all work together we're free of dis-ease

'Tis joy when one cares and one shares with the other
we're all one big family as sister and brother
yet in saying this it's important to note
that each choice that's made affects all in the boat

Be kind then and love with a genuine urge
in doing this sees each one's freedom emerge
no more need to fight for one's joy and one's peace
for working together in love sees release

As new day now dawns there'll be many choices
acceptance, allowance sees many rejoices
but caution is urged as we go 'long our road
discernment required for a peaceful abode

Collapsing of past that required us to be
controlled by a system where we were not free
so in this collapsing much chaos will reign
yet see in this process new order we'll gain

It is final countdown for new day is here
the past be forgotten, was driven by fear
let love be the answer to life's perfect way
'tis time now for heaven on earth to display

BIRTHING NEW BEGINNINGS

She struggles she does inside this cocoon
from inside she looks out from this balloon
wondering what the new life would bring
when all of a sudden she heard her heart sing

"It's time now to leave this place so inviting
and move on out to the world so exciting"
so following her heart she gives her permission
and birthed herself fully into her divine mission

From places secure yet tightly reined in
she's now fully birthed to let new life begin
it's newness so gentle and loving and kind
she chooses slow movement till wings she does find

A butterfly now, she flies gently by
touching all gently with love from the sky
elegance and beauty on sweet gentle breeze
she flies into new life with hardly a sneeze

She's calm and serene in this newness of spring
her beauty and love with her does she bring
a touch, a sweet kiss on the cheek of the one
who wishes her well on the new life begun

DARK BEFORE DAWN

O beauty of dark when stars shine so bright
the perfect reunion in midst of the night
yet moment demands that soon does the sun
shine so much brighter for everyone

O God how I love you and in this admission
I see that it's right now to give you permission
to be in the now of my life so all's well
in making this gesture I thus toll the bell

The moon and the stars they add magic and mystery
yet part of the moment is past which is history
and there lies the beauty of life in the 'morrow
for sorting the now there is no more sorrow

So moments there maybe the dark before dawn
no reason to let life become so forlorn
instead see the goodness in all that there is
and know that the process it moves us to bliss

A JOURNEY WITH MERLIN

Merlin my friend it is so good to see you
I've been waiting awhile; now at last
we're together to enjoy such a fabulous ride
of a lifetime away from the past

For into the presence your plan is to take me
for there one does find peace and joy
and love everlasting of paradise type
and laughter and lightness - oh boy!!

With child-like innocence together exploring
the newness of all the surrounds
within me there's something which deeply is stirring
something so deeply profound

A love that's so deep like a mem'ry renewed
from far ancient times long ago
it's surfacing quick like a pure ocean wave
to pour out as the lava does flow

Stunned and in awe and with wide-eyed amazement
my heart feels the love everywhere
such Merlin-like magic I see all around me
such beauty my heart wants to share

O Merlin I thank you for bringing me here
to the presence of Now where all glows
where the sun never sets and skies are so blue
and my heart like my cup overflows

NEW BEGINNING

The end of a chapter
who knows what now
there's a new beginning
just over the brow

On taking a peek
I see golden glow
'tis necessary for me
to go with the flow

Rather than forcing
'tis better to be
allowing the best of life
to come to me

Challenges yes, I know
are always there
approaching them joyously
the best affair

So with ending chapter
a new one to write
life's n'er-ending story
the slate's clean and bright

EMBRACE THIS NEW DAY

The sun is now up
embrace this new day
the winter's behind us
spring's here to stay

Along with the sun
there comes April showers
the fresh breezes blow
and there's joy of spring flowers

Summer is coming
for now it is spring
embrace this new day
and the smile it does bring

BEFORE THE DAWN

When change is near
and all seems dark
a night-time scene pervades
Yet now's the time
to soldier on
to see the everglades

The darkest time's
before the dawn
of golden rising sun
So don't give up
when all seems "dark"
for soon will see the fun

The challenge seems
to see the good
within the darkest time
For in the night
the stars do shine
Their twinkling is sublime

The moon it gleams
in dark of night
to lighten up the way
It moves across
the night-time sky
to set 'fore dawn of day

Surrender then
unto the dark
knowing all is well
Trust the way
will open up
and soon will ring the bell

So in the depths
of darkest times
so much is mystery
It's good therefore
to let the light
make dark soon history

Eventually
the dark of night
becomes the light of day
An outlook change
perhaps the key
to show us on our way

With light turned on
there's no more dark
Forever shines the sun
Life is now
for living well
The new day now begun

BRINGING THE INSIDE OUT

Deep within there lives a love
The greatest love of all
Divine potential lightly burning
Waiting for the call

This flame of love now wants to show
Its beauty and its light
It gently pushes and it prods
In order to gain sight

This greatest love inside us all
Desires to be seen
The time is now for love divine
To be the One supreme

So let us bring the inside out
And be the love divine
No greater gift can we bring forth
A toast to all mankind

WALKING THE TIGHTROPE

Walking the tightrope
In pure, perfect balance
Eyes focussed forward
No sideways or back glance

Keeping the eyes
On the dream straight ahead
Sees forward movement
Ev'n when one's in bed!

The big picture view
It helps one to see
That all that is happ'ning
'Tween you and me

Is part of the whole
A jigsaw supreme
Each piece it fits perfect
To bring home the dream

So please hold the vision
Of living one's life
Then walking the tightrope's
Will see end to strife

Easy and flowing
Direction is bold
Loving and living
A joy to behold

THROUGH THE BIRTH CANAL

The earth is giving birth
The space of birth is small
Transition phase is at this time
Reflects new birth of all

Dangerous times perhaps
Exciting times as well
For when a birth is imminent
It's time to toll the bell

Through the birth canal
A tighter squeeze there's not
Space expands and envelopes
The new life form we've got

Contractions happen readily
Then one needs to push
A new life form is coming forth
There seems to be a hush

So during this transition
Through the birth canal
Feel the squeeze yet let the breeze
Blow gently; toll the bell

New earth birth approaches
Same for all of life
Celebrate this time with love
At last forget the strife

Surround yourself with love
Be gentle and so kind
'Cos as the inside turns outside
Such beauty one does find

Giving birth to self
One's true divinity
As One at last, no more divide
One Love - Infinity

TIME IT IS DEAD

Old Father Time
No reason or rhyme
He's dead now, you see
After pleasuring me
For eons of measure
Being at your leisure
He decided enough!
Considered it rough
For being so planted
And taken for granted
So then when he chose
To rise like a rose
He switched off his clock
Became like a rock
Solid and still
And now at his will
All moments are his
To use as his biz
Now we are tested
And very well rested
'Cos all is now one
Each moment is fun
No clock to race
We set our own pace
And now smell the roses
Enjoy all life poses
And Old Father Time
Forgotten his clime

A DAWNING OCCURRED

A dawning occurred
In the wee small hours
Like the sun in its rising
A lotus did flower

Total surrender
And trust in the One
Let go of the holding
A 'pop' like a gun

A glistening light
Much brighter than day
A glow like a fire
Its flames are at play

In moving beyond
Where one has e'er been
A blissful rejoicing
The true home is seen

Dawning of Now
No longer is time
Joy as in Oneness
Feeling sublime

A dawning occurred
In the wee small hours
Like the sun in its rising
A lotus did flower

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNIN'

"Oh what a beautiful mornin' "
The song it does brighten my day
The sun it is rising o'er yonder
As I look out my window and pray

I give thanks for the joy of the mornin'
I give thanks for the beauty around
I give thanks for the glory from heaven
The joy in my life's so profound

So..it's "oh what a beautiful mornin'
Oh what a beautiful day"
Such words are so very uplifting
As I happily go on my way

Such a wonderful life I am living
There's beauty of love in the air
I breathe deeply this joyous refreshment
Then frolic and dance with a flair

"Oh what a beautiful mornin' "
The birds they are singing with joy
The gentle wind blows in the treetops
There is nothing I cannot enjoy

COSMIC SUNRISE

The great sun rises
Cosmically radiating
Illuminating brilliance
Flooding warmth
Awakening souls
To rise and cross
The rainbow bridge
To waiting paradise
Ascension imminent
Crystal consciousness
Radiating beauty
Love, peace and joy
The sacred birth
Of magic and mystery
Celebrating new life
Of wonder and awe
The golden day dawns
The cosmic sunrise
Welcomes the New Day

RESURRECTION TODAY

The New Day dawns
A resurrection occurs
The dark night behind
A shift of dimensions
A dynamic change in
Life focus to Today
Love, light, peace, joy
Lived increasingly
A quiet revolution
Of grace occurring
Moment by moment
Embracing the Divine
The New Day is Today
A bright light shines
Leads the way Today
Showing its majesty
Glory, magnificence
Wonder and brilliance
Omnipotence, omniscience
Omnipresence Being
Today is the Day to Be
No yesterday, tomorrow
Today, Now, One whole
Divinely resurrected
Eternal Now Today

NO LONGER TIME

The dark night of time is now over
The golden dawn now it is here
A new day of now is exhalted
Praise be, it is now everywhere

Now is the time of our being
And now it has thus always been
Now we can demonstrate beauty
Now is the time to be seen

Time as we know it is folding
The end of the future and past
For now we can live in the moment
The presence of present at last

It's the way it has thus always been yet
We forgot this great truth deep inside
At last it is rising to meet us
So now see the door open wide

A wonderfully quiet insurrection
Is happening all round the world
As we let go of time and be present
We are hoisting the flag as unfurled

Giving thanks for this realisation
Welcome life with a wonderful wow
With peace, love and joy our hearts, yes
For the day is Eternally Now

MOUNTAIN HIGH

Expanding heart and joyful mind
Dreaming dreams mountain high
Flying free to heights beyond
As eagles soaring in the sky

Flowing like the ocean wave
River currents gentle flow
Over rocks and through ravines
To meet the sea at sunset glow

High and wide the journey goes
Deep and through to yonder shore
Dreams reflecting life expanding
Visions growing evermore

Life to heights n'er been before
Mountain high and ocean deep
Reaching for the stars of night
Dreams now in the heart ot keep

In the light of golden sun
Dreams now lived so coming true
Embracing life with heart of gold
Peace at last the wondrous view

POUR THE SUN

Pour the sun into your heart
See how you do shine
Then please pour it out again
And you will make fine wine

Pour the sun into your heart
Open up the door
In doing this you cannot miss
Receiving more and more

Pour the sun into your heart
Then circulate the glow
Now the world can't help but smile
The wonder of the flow

Pour the sun into your heart
Then as a golden ray
Warm the hearts of everyone
The dawn now the New Day

SEED OF WINTER

Seed of winter
Inside gestates
Springtime birth
For this it waits

Nurtured gently
Soul renewal
Loved so deeply
Tide of Yule

Quiet slumber
Rest assured
Tender love

New day dawns
Birth assured
New soul born

Stretching now
Awakened love
Expanded soul
Heaven above

Within, without
And Everywhere
Seed of winter
Spring affair

'TIS THE JOURNEY

'Tis the journey
Not the destination
That sees us come
To realisation
For all is well
The past is gone
Play the part
Become the One
The future Now
The choices be
What one decides
We come to see
Creating 'tis
A thought away
What do you wish
It comes what may
The present now
Is past created
Living, being
Celebrated
Happy? Joyful?
All is well
The journey being
Heaven? hell?
Choice is ours
Blame no other
Responsibilty ours
All our brother
Enjoy the journey
Forget the end
It's going the road
The rest portend
The journey is
For our's to be
Result becomes
Eternity

THE VALUE OF MURK

Out of the murk
A lotus is born
Pure and contented
A new day has dawned

Pristine perfection
A joy to behold
Serene and so tranquil
Pure love as was told

The journey of life
With its hills and its dales
Sheds all the dross
And pulls back the veil

Revealing the glory
A radiant light
Awesome in wonder
A magnificent sight

The moral is seeing
The value of murk
The birth of the lotus
The result of great work

BE YE TRANSFORMED

Like yew tree of old
The story is told
Renewal of life is profound
With regeneration
Comes manifestation
Of love, peace and joy all around

The power and the glory
Of this ancient story
Transforms the dual mind into One
So be ye transformed
And fully reformed
The job it is then fully done

Be ye transformed
And fully reformed
In order to see the true way
At one with God's Will
Proved perfect and still
The presence of Now is Today

WHAT IS THE QUESTION?

Love is the answer
What is the question?
Love is the answer
There is no question

Through life and its journey
There's many directions
There's this way and that way
And your way and my way
And the way, the highway
But often there's byway's
As we drift on sideways
Distractions and factions
And this -ism and that -ism
The cycle of rebirth
And death on a treadmill
But spiralling upwards
Each time we re-enter
Eventually making it
Back to the centre
Of balance where it all
Becomes seemingly clear
Addressing the challenges
Makes it appear
That while the journey
Of life is in question
If love is the answer
Then there is no question

REMEMBERING THE PRESENT

Remembering the present
The gift of all gifts
Where peace and love reign
In all majesty and glory
Presence Divine
Harmonious melody
Shimmering harp-like
On heart strings
Plucked ripe to taste
Sweetly savoured
Everlasting joy
Rising surface-ward
To breathe again
In silent gratitude
Softly, gently
The pure air
Of Eternal Love

© Elizabeth A Feisst 11 November 2005

SILENT LOVE

Silent love
Within you'll find
A tender whisper
Of loving kind
A perfect blend
Of harmony
Quietly being
Eternally

Silent love
So ever true
Waiting there
For me and you
A gentle touch
A warm embrace
A happy smile
Upon the face

Silent love
Serenely shared
With one so true
A friend so fair
Greatest love
Of all is found
Within the self
'Tis so profound

Silent love
Is quietly being
Patient waits
No more fleeing
Inner softness
Inner peace
One at last
A sweet release

SEEING WITH REAL EYES

Seeing with real eyes
Is the realisation
That reality is
Realising that
Real-eyes-a(c)tion
Is the true state of being
That is - a real-eyes-ed being

LISTEN TO THE SILENCE

Listen to the silence
It doth call you still
Gently to its presence
One with Divine Will

Listen to the silence
Can you hear its voice?
Place of union with the One
That is the perfect choice

Listen to the silence
Listen to it call
Stillness, knowing, being
One and that is all

SEIZE THE DAY

Rise up, rise up
And seize the day
Now's the moment
Come what may

We live in times
They're changing fast
Purging, cleansing
Perhaps at last..

We'll see there is
Big picture bright
In doing this
We'll see the light

That all is right
If we did share
As brother, sister
C'mon let's care

No matter what
Our creed or skin
For truth it's so
We're kith and kin

No more greed
No rich or poor
Instead let's sow
And reap some more

For what you give
You will receive
Tenfold or more
So why do grieve?

A heart-felt touch
For those out there
It's wise to give
It's wise to care

Let's take the reins
Of life in hand
Let's shake and shunt
And be the brand

Of a new day
Where all will be
As one in joy
And harmony

The new day dawns
Let's seize it well
Let's grow as one
Let's toll the bell

Rise up, rise up
And let's display
The will to work
And seize the day

ISN'T GRACE AMAZING?

Isn't grace amazing?
Its loving and its peace
Through grace we are exalted
Through grace we are released

Isn't grace amazing?
Allowing one to be
Yet silent watches over us
As we search to be free

Isn't grace amazing?
With arms all open wide
No longer lost when realised
That truth is found inside

With grace is a surrender
A grateful attitude
Softens hearts to tenderness
For grace is gratitude

Isn't grace amazing?
Its loving and its peace
Through grace we are exalted
Through grace we are released

PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY

Physical immortality
Truth of life's reality
Moving beyond material
Living in the ethereal
In this world, not of it
Surely let's not fob it
Life as multi- dimensional
Now is comprehensional
Our DNA is upgrading
No more be evading
Impossible at last being
Now is possible seeing
The truth of life's reality
Is physical immortality

DIVINE IMPRINT

Divine imprint
Upon our soul
This is the proof
That we are whole

Many books
Inspired by Source
State this fact
Get off the horse

And walk awhile
As whole and One
Display the truth
And have some fun

Lighten up
For all to see
This truth it is
Reality

Divinely be
Exemplify
That all is One
So verified

WALKING IN THE FOOTPRINTS

Walking in the footprints
My Creator Soul and I
As one and One together being
United eye to eye

Walking side by side we are
My Creator Soul and I
Partnership in peace and love
As Now and days gone by

Walking forward boldly now
My Creator Soul and I
No more looking back to see
The old I've said goodbye

Walking in the moment now
My Creator Soul and I
As One at last, the union grasped
In Love so purified

LIKE THE ANDROGYNOUS ANGEL

Like the androgynous angel
The perfect blending
Of male and female
Harmony and balance
Gentle beauty as light and love
Attained through one
Being Divinely One
Self-renewal continuous
No longer two to create one
But one being One eternally
Wisdom and understanding
Freely flying high as Truth
Crowned in glory
Cloaked in majesty
Omnipotent presence
The culmination of
The Great Work
The alchemical moment
Like the androgynous angel
