THROUGH THE MIST
This page will feature a series of poems being written as part of a major transition phase in my life....beginning mid-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)
THE MASTER MIND
Be transformed by the
Renewing of the mind
The mind of the human
Becomes that of the master
For each of us is
Our destiny's master
And this being so
Let's master it so
The mind of the master
Is the mind of the victor
Connected to Source
As One Being moving
In harmony with All
In this moving
One discerns with ease
Being one's own master
The mind of the master
Moves with, not against
The universal flow
All moving forward
Harmoniously being
The renewed mind
Masterful in discerning
True from false
Be transformed by the
Renewing of the mind
Masterfully overcoming
The past and moving
In tandem with life
In love and peace
Silently knowing
The master is you

MILKYWAY DANCE
Dancing in the light
Of the milkyway
Twinkling on tiptoes
So come what may
Polkas and waltzes
Foxtrots supreme
Freely do flow from
One's feet like a dream
Milkyway dancing
Is ever so good
The freedom of being
As ever one could
Come on then all peoples
Let's cosmically dance
Together harmoniously
As deer we do prance
Dancing like angels
With stars in our eyes
Has us all reeling
We soon realise
The beauty of swaying
And swirling with ease
Engages us joyfully
Life then a breeze
The light of the heavens
Sends us all twirling
As loving each other
Continues unfurling
The milkyway sky
Encourages our glance
As moving through life
Do the milkyway dance

CENTRAL STATION
Central station
Place to contemplate
All the happenings
Of the heart....
Central station
Of life and love
Coming and going
Too-ing and fro-ing
A heart of light
A heart of pain
A heart yet bright
To love again
A heart that feels
A heart that dances
A heart enjoying
Loving prances
A heart of matter
A heart that cares
A heart so central
To all we share
The point of centre
Central station
Heart of the matter
Matters of the heart
Mirroring, reflecting
Above and below
Within and without
Our central station

LIGHTNESS OF HEART
Lightness of heart
Joyful it plays
Warm ray of sunshine
Brightening our days
Golden as sunflowers
Countenance divine
Glorious sunlight
Maturing red wine
Free as an eagle
Soaring on high
Closeness to Spirit
High in the sky
Sacred magician
Exploding with love
Pouring out glory
From heaven above
Heart that is golden
One that is fair
Wondrous lover
Breath of fresh air
All that is light
N'er keeps us apart
Lived in true being
The light of the heart

LIFE - IT GLISTENS
Life - it glistens
When we listen
Silently observing
All around
The magic in the air
The love, abundance
It's all there if open
To receive the view
Of life as it is
And always has been
Beyond the material
In the ethereal
Seen with eyes
Wide open, ears tuned
Arms out-stretched
Heart expanded fully
Truth that sets one free
Waiting to be claimed
By all willing to move
Beyond limitation
Life - glistening magically

THE GOLDEN HARP
The golden harp
Like the heart
It sings a tune
Running scales
Twinkling tones
The harp strings
Pulled and plucked
The music light
And angelic
Touching gently
Soothing calmly
Magic wonder
Joyful splendour
Shape so heart-like
The golden heart
Like the harp
It sings a song
Of loving splendour
Pouring gratitude
Shining light
Playfully being
Child-like joy
Heart strings
Pulled and plucked
Like a rose bursting
Rising high in love
Sharing, caring
Shape so harp-like

IMMACULATE VIRGIN BIRTH
A slip and a slide, we're here
For some a joyous arrival
For others rather painful
Yet in the process of birth
A new opportunity arises
To live life higher than before
In a new way; as a new day
The severance takes place
And the birth scar heals but
The navel is there to remind us
Of a connection to the past
The time comes to consider
Why this scar never heals
And disappears like others
Perhaps this gives a clue
About the true birth
The rebirth to freedom..
The truth that sets us free
The possibility of overcoming
The cycle of reincarnation
Moving beyond physicality
To infinity, eternal life
The generational connection
The navel scar is healed
Through giving birth to Self
Bringing the inside out
Self-renewal, regeneration
The God/dess within, manifest
Alchemy in practise,
The immaculate virgin birth

CLIMBING EVERY MOUNTAIN
Climbing every mountain
Moving to sacred heights
We have right there before us
The big picture in our sights
In the searching high and low
We leave no stone unturned
We then are more determined
In finding what we've yearned
In following every byway
Learning as we go
Through all of our experiences
The more we come to know
In taking every path we know
The view becomes so broad
The process of the gathering
We need no longer hoard
In fording every stream we see
Another view is served
For looking back the wisdom is
That life is very curved
In following every rainbow
We discover all the magic
So all the many paths of life
No longer need be tragic
We've held so long a vision
Forever it does seem
It's there for us to realise
It's time to be our dream
In living every day of life
With all the love we've got
It will ensure that our dream
Is given our best shot
In following every rainbow
Crossing every stream
Climbing all the mountains high
We're sure to find our dream

SOLAR CORE
The solar core
It gives us more
Than we have
Ever been before
Within us growing
Without our knowing
The burning bush
Of the all-knowing
The central flame
Core soul became
Our central sun
The power to tame
With imagination
Then magnification
Our soul perfected
Now purification
DNA's expanded
So single-handed
Our power's restored
We're fully branded
Like once before
There is once more
A burning bush
Our solar core

O GOD WITHIN
O God within
I need your help
A prayer I send to you
For just right now
I feel the pressure
Of more than I do choose
Yet I do know
That I'm equipped
To bear a heavy load
The choice is mine
Am I prepared
To go along this road?
I guess it surely is the best
To honour what's enough
I share the load
With you I do
I give you all this stuff
In doing so I feel
Much lighter than
I did before
Somehow I feel much more real
You seem to have the score
Why is it then that
Some expect that we
Must bear their load?
Somehow I think the message is
To show them that it's their road
O God I do recall you saying
I'm only charged with me
All others are responsible
For their own victory
So God I thank you
For this chat
It's nice to know you're there
For sometimes I'm in such a state
I really couldn't care
Yet this is not a state of grace
Of one who wants to be
A liver of the life of God
In state of victory.

INSIDE OUT
It's time to bring the inside out
Allow the glow to shine
Flame of life and heart and mind
No more let it recline
Behind the shield of flesh; instead
But see the light of day
And gently like the butterfly
Stroke the tears away
A smile, a laugh, a joyful grin
Uplifts the mass of life
So all can come to see at last
No longer need be strife
In the image of the Source
We're created for to be
All are like the Mighty One
Glimmering like the sea
The flame inside is flickering
Let's light the flame so bright
To burn the dross of yesterday
So all that's left is light
The light it shines just like the sun
The flame doth keep us warm
The inside now is viewable
Our love and joy the form
At last the side of all of life
We've hidden for so long
The Source of life that's been within
It sings the Kingdom's song
©Elizabeth A Feisst 15 August 2005
DOING WITHOUT DOING
Doing without doing
All that needs gets done
Being in the moment
Joyful as the sun
In the world, not of it
As the saying goes
A comtemplative process
Yet fully on one's toes
Being in the moment
A very present action
The doing, it just happens
No more is it re-action
Doing while just being
Allows for all to be
Attentive but not holding
Results come naturally
Doing without doing
A countenance supreme
Being fully present
The day is then a dream

PURITY OF HEART & MIND
Purity of heart and mind
Worthy aim within to find
Observing carefully what is thought
Feelings to in time be caught
A thought creating future life
Best be one not causing strife
Feelings also best to be
One's of love and harmony
The pure heart is full of grace
A loving, kindly, gentle space
A mind that's clear will ever see
The truth as it should really be
Mind as one creates with ease
Living life becomes a breeze
Adding then a heart of love
And so within is as above
Vesting in this pure aim
Becomes a joy for all to claim
A pure heart, a pure mind
Pending future peaceful kind
Pure intent to gratify
End result will testify
Purity of heart and mind
Worthy aim within to find

EMBRACING THE GOOD
Embracing the good
Let go of the rest
This now has become
The challenging test
The time is now ripe
The mind to renew
For in not doing so
Will see truth askew
The image of God
We are so it seems
The god of us all
The god of our dreams
This image is real
Its time for to be
Manifested as form
The truth for to see
If God equals good
Then why do we wander
We are all there is
No more time to squander
The good is divine
This image is ours
Lets claim for to be
The magic it flowers
Embracing the good
Let go of the rest
This now has become
The challenging test

SEEING IN A LOVING LIGHT
Seeing in a loving light
A joyful way, so ever bright
New beginning ever magic
Left behind is all that's tragic
In present moment all is well
The present moment life doth tell
Now to be and always see
With eyes of love, a beauty spree
A new day dawns, the sun is warm
The past is gone for ever dorm
Moving now into the new
This way of being is the hue
All is well, the voice doth cry
The heart it gives a joyful sigh
At last the being is now seen
Yet this is what its always been
The focus is the true and good
No longer seeing as one "should"
Instead one sees the good in all
This is the one and only call
Accepting goodness only now
I wipe the past thus from my brow
In doing this my heart expands
For now the present's in my hands
A gift of light and love and joy
A smile in heart and mind my toy
To play and share with all around
This visual beauty so profound
A joy to see the light of day
Is ever loving this new way
It is the way with eyes of love
Natural, joyful from above
The picture now is open wide
Embracing all, no longer hides
Naked truth for all to see
This way becoming heavenly
Seeing in a loving light
Heavenly vision, what a sight
New beginning, ever magic
Left behind is all that's tragic

ABOVE, BELOW AND WITHIN
As above and so below
That is how the story goes
Yet too we find that all's within
So story true; let us begin
We fly up where the eagle soars
In doing that we do see more
From there the view is easy seen
The bigger picture we can glean
So as above we see below
That all is music, light and show
And from below as we look up
We see expanse for us to sup
Next let us go within to find
One huge picture of joyous kind
For too we find therein the spark
Divine encounter within the dark
Awaiting light of day to flame
So bring the inner joy to reign
Then let us light our spark divine
And burn the dross of human kind
The story true that all within
Is like the truth we outer glean
Divine we are that inner glow
Is as above and so below

HOLY INSTANT
The holy instant
Is the sacred moment
Of being fully present
In the presence of God
From moment to moment
Each one an opportunity
To experience the magic
The blessing, the glory
The joy and the power
The love, the honour
The compassion,the beauty
The holy instant -
In this is wholeness
No separation from One
God of All and All of God
Not alone, but All-one
Whole, complete, holy
Life is an ongoing
Series of holy instants
All are sacred if so viewed
Just as is all life
The holy instant
Now and each following now
Moment, an instant -
The gift we give (and receive)
Of being fully present
In the presence of God
All one, all now, all wholly.

AN ODE UNTO TOMORROW
An ode unto tomorrow
Is being present now
The past is resident present
The future chosen now
Yet unto tomorrow is brought
The past from yesterday
To create the future moment
In the dreams of now today
So while we dream of future
Yet now there is the time
The yesterday the now
Tomorrow the now clime
Now the only moment
Reality all the way
Let's experience tomorrow
In present now today
An ode unto tomorrow
The presence it is now
For today becomes tomorrow
And yesterday is now
© Elizabeth A Feisst 30 July 2005
SO NOW
So now do I follow
No more that is hollow
Preferring the fullness
Of all that is wholeness
O why is it necessary
To repeat anniversary
The past it is gone
It's time to move on
Forget the repeat
It's no longer neat
The lesson is learnt
Do you want to get burnt?
The future is now
You wanna know how?
Just check your now thoughts
In doing so, fear nought
For your thoughts are tomorrow
You want no more sorrow?
It comes down to choice
In this your rejoice
A future to nurture
It then cannot hurt you
By being the present
There is no more recent
So now is the time
No better the clime
To choose to be present
This is the best lesson

THE GROUND ON WHICH WE WALK
Is the ground on which we walk
Secure and all sound?
Yet does it really matter?
For all within is found
The process of the journey
Is developing within
The beauty of soul
That's where we begin
O how the joy becomes desire
Moving in the rhyme
Heaven is the haven
The rest is all divine
Walking in the harmony
The beauty of the soul
The ground on which we walk
Becomes the one, the whole
Let the path on which we walk
Become a solid stone
Yet flexible and durable
In this we are as One

TAMING THE WILD SIDE
As the horse whisperer
Whispers to his charge
To gain its trust
Get cooperation
Calm it down
So too,
A gentle whisper
To one's wild side
Will encourage it
To be less fearful
More trusting
Cooperative
Calm
In order to see
Clearly that all is well
No need to panic
But instead
Far better flowing
Working with
Rather than against
Life and being
The wild side in us all
The rage, anger, fear
Gently handled
Becomes one's ally
And friend
©Elizabeth A Feisst 27 July 2005
BEYOND THE PERSONAL REALM
In moving beyond
The personal realm
One has the advantage
Of Spirit at helm
One soon comes to see
That guidance divine
Takes one to places
Of the heavenly kind
In lining our will
That has been our's to use
With Will of the Spirit
We not longer abuse
For beyond being doers
We're really deciders
And the choices we make
Show just who is our guider
Becomes then imperative
That decisons are made
With a pure intention
We then make the grade
We soon come to see
Whose image we are
The power of Spirit
Thus taking us far
So being at last
Complete realisation
The truth of our being
Full manifestation
We then shine our light
Doing marvellous things
Actions sincere with
A joy they do bring
What once was a miracle
Or p'haps supernatural
It now seems to us
Just supremely natural
Our lives then do flow
Like sweet gentle breezes
We're past all the challenges
Of hiccups and sneezes
Surrender to Spirit
Then gives us such peace
Contented reliance
And splendid release
So moving beyond
The personal realm
One has the advantage
Of Spirit at helm

A CHARIOT OF THE DIVINE
As a chariot of the Divine
When clear and open
One freely allows love
And light to flow where
It is divinely needed
In humility one walks
A channel in cooperation
With the infinite
Harmoniously being
At one with the Light
A divine chariot
Allows and accepts
Willingly the Will
Of the Divine; thus
Through free will
The choice is made
To be in the divine flow
As one, in agreeance
Peacefully contented
As a chariot of the Divine

ON THE EDGE
I stand on the edge
Ready to fly
I stand there
Admiring the view
The valley below
The distant hills
The afternoon sky
With its glowing sun
I stand there
I consider my options
Do I stay or do I jump?
I remember Jonathan
That bird of adventure
Fearing nought he flew
Faster and longer and
Further than any gull
I stand there
I remember that
To not fly would see
Me recycle the past
My option is clear then
I must fly freely
No longer contented
In materiality, but
Free to be, knowing
That I have all within
I am a free bird
I am ready to fly
It's take-off time !!

I SHUT MY EYES
I shut my eyes to meditate
And all I see are words
In type-face bold and Arial
I wonder what is heard
Words of distance yet reveal
A future in them is
This point at least I know not how
Somehow not yet my bizz
A further depth then I do seek
I wait upon my guidance
I realise how much I want
To be with this reliance
The mists are yet in front of me
So patient I must be
Awaiting till the time is right
In synchronicity
The curtains they will part in time
Revealing all I need to know
To where my life is leading me
And which way do I go
For now continuing presently
To meditate on when
And how and why the words will be
My future with the "pen"
I shut my eyes to meditate
And all I see are words
In type-face bold and Arial
I wonder what is heard

RECEDING MISTS
The gentle mists of time
Have clouded one's
Understanding
Now they are receding
To reveal the clarity
Of perfection that
All is in order and
Always has been
The receding mists
Expand one's
Horizons of experience
To see infinite
Expression of all
In the understanding
Of now being all with
Time the illusion
Mists have gone at last
The veil is down
Crystal clarity prevails
Sovereignty reigns
Lives now lived in
The glorious Truth
For all now present
Perfect understanding

STILL WONDER
Still wonder
On blue forget-me-nots
In timeless passages
Yet born
But who said
A new tomorrow
Would not come
A 'morrow of peace
Whoa betide those
Who come what may
Consider the day of now
Doth not exist
Still wonder
All be doth perfect
Ins and outs of hope
Peace and love
'Tis here, look, see
Being in the now
Of existence blissful
Ecstasy
Still wonder
On plains of expansiveness
Time now yearns to be
Present moment
No waiting, just being
Still wonder
