Tidal Waves of Light

 

All around you

Are forces unseen

Tidal waves of Light

We can ride forever

On crashing powers of ecstasy

 

Running through you

Are tornadoes of sound

Roaring columns of power

That we can spiral higher on

Into the vibration of Aum

 

Deep within you

Is a sublime lake of bliss

Vast and mysterious

That we can dive silently into

To find sparkling pearls of joy

 

All around, deep within

Is the power of Creation

Light particles in and around us

Thrilling and vibrating

Electrifying life into being

Sound waves rolling

Intertwining, connecting

Humming the vast matrix of life

 

Our tiny bodies

Are mere specks of dust

In the silent presence

Of the unknown Infinite

Playing with us in all of Creation

Loving us, as Himself

Over the Seas

 

Over the seas, far away from Ireland

Where the land lay red and dusty

And koalas and kangaroos danced

A slow slow, hop hop dance together

 

A baby bird fluttered in its nest

As mother bird clacked and mocked

Its crazy bird song best

And the sun burned high in the

Bright blue sky, with cotton wisps

Of cloud, all burned to a crisp

 

A young man looked at the baby bird

Saw the mother with her knowing eye

And threw a challenge out to the sky

To tell two little girls, running free

In the green, rolling lands of Ireland

That they must be home in time for tea

 

Little girls dreaming all in the woods

Of red hot lands and a white rolling beach

And family presents, with kisses for each

Heard, or felt, or tickled, something

In their ear a whispering

 

They had been out late, playing in the woods,

dusk creeping down, shadows all around

fairies and queens, were sleeping

but elves and goblins

Were bopping and popping

 

Run home they would

What were they thinking?

To be out so late

Yes, maybe they should

 

They scampered away, hair flying

Arriving home in time for tea

And never knew, the baby bird

Laughed and cackled its first song

As the long hot day wore on.

 

The young man laughed

Turned and walked away

And so began, another

Gum tree, bright blue

Surf and sand, Australian day
