Listen. There is time in every life. Take time. God gives it to you. Don’t run from it, don’t hide; stop pretending to be so busy. All those things we do. They’re not what it’s all about. God is the only real and he loves you, more than you can possibly imagine. He’s calling your name. Slow down. Listen.
Like a Seagull
•January 27, 2012 • Leave a CommentHowever many times you walk the road you travel
However many ways you kiss the sky
Don’t you let them fake you, take you or forsake you
Even undertake you, with a lie
Freedom is in your soul, like a seagull or a newborn foal
There ain’t nothin’ gonna ever bring you down
You walk the walk of a travellin’ man
Talk the talk only wisdom can
Your troubles fade like bootheels in the sand

Sunbathing in the Rain
•January 27, 2012 • 1 CommentYa got storm clouds in front of you
Ya got free fall inside-a-you
Open plane of desert tongue
Where demons feast on souls so young
Rainy ‘n wild, splash the ground
On the ledge, baby, don’t look down
I see your fear
Tangle in the rhythm of a fragmented mind
Jangle with the beat of a bitten design
Jam with the fever till it feeds your vein
Hold it all together till you know you’re…
Sunbathin’
In the rain

Follow Me
•January 26, 2012 • Leave a CommentFollow me, up on the coloured moonshine
Up, like a bird, to the hungry, red sky
Where the unicorn meets the surfin’ lion
And mythical friends are just learnin’ t’ fly now
Can you feel the pain go?
Can you feel the sunglo’
Yes and I’ll take you to a mystical land
For playin’ love games an’ feedin’ on rhyme
An’ you can watch the monkeys dance in the sand
And nobody’s ruled by old father time
Can you feel
Can you see
Can you agree
What it is
To really be
Free?

Holy Spirit
•January 25, 2012 • Leave a CommentHoly spirit is God in us
Burning into our souls with tongues of fire
Tearing open our hearts with cosmic light
A healing, feeling thing
Conquering the night

The Wave
•January 22, 2012 • Leave a CommentThere is peace here, inside this wave
Like a cave
Where light penetrates
Another world
Where ancestors dance
And sea-gypsies trance
And mermaids chant
Their dulcitudes of love
One board, one body
One lionic roar
White foamed
Salt faced
Love laced
Core

Freedom Breeze
•January 22, 2012 • 1 Comment- Not very sensible ideas about God have thrown up walls between Christians, splattered some 4000 denominations about the place, most of them claiming to be the ‘one true church’, and driven a wedge between the heart and mind of human ‘being’. Fourteen years old, trying to worship, so hard, through the disturbance of liturgical, sermonic noise, I remember well the sanctuary of Ilston woods after the climb, over backs of pews and eye, mouth congregants ducking suddenly beneath my urgent feet. I remember the forgiving breath of grass and trees, soothing river, gentle rain, the freedom breeze of God given wonder’s return.
