Time to reflect

eases the confusion

of the world

around you

time to reflect

opens the

natural order

within you

time to reflect

opens

the heart

and the mind

Have you looked towards the new world?

The one over the far horizon?

The world beneath the pollution of your worries and anxiety

to the far and distant place

where a new republic

can be made in your own

quiet space

infused with all the good things

that show you your humanity

and divinity

where the coffee is always fresh and smells like its just been made

where the birdsong hangs like dew in the air

and there is no room for

conflict

it is there if you look

deep in the valley

between anxiety and meaning

Quiet comes the Time

when silence will descend into its noisy end

and all the worlds we have

will be washed away

in the afterglow of knowingness

the rushing of the times

are wind kissed chimes

for when quiet comes the time

the time will be the sign

the human race will no longer run

or strive, there will be beating

a panopticon, fleeting

earth heart beating

Have you heard the tremor of your own thoughts?

Thoughts that came from your inner world?

Thoughts that urge you to know who you are ?

Thoughts that make you sit up and pay attention

to who you are not?

Is there salt in your tears

when you recall your hardships?

In each of us there is an inner prayer

calling us to be whole

stop and listen

there is salt in your fears

look to the wisdom

borne in ancient times

call to the singers

who sing the constant song

and they will share the melody

and the refrain

there are 61 trees for every person alive today

but there a millions born in a day

less air to breathe?

hybrid cars, electric cars

a greener world by design

no just by luck

greener cars are not about saving the earth

but saving the motor industry

a breathing space

will be prime real estate

where will you find yours?

Judging, assuming

deliberating, acquiring prejudices

spreading,smooothing

plastering gossip

all of these are part of the clinging

aspects of human nature

glossing over, flossing over

embossing over

engraving,ingraining

exocorating

people are afraid of the honesty of silence

Words are remembered long after they are spoken

they merge into the substance of things everywhere

speech dwells as energy in everything we experience

even in the folds of silence

words and speech linger

their impulses and intent

creating countless unseen actions

and reactions

as the sky is mirrored in the sea

and sun in the moon

so are we in our words and speech

Give them a Logo

to belong too

there is an entire generation

who feel left out in the cold

a logo will keep them warm

and well spent

in times of financial crisis

luxury goods take the place of religion

while religion takes the place of spirituality

logo and brand awareness

leads to isolation

and a tired soul

worn out by consumerism

Time

does not wait

Time does not give

Time does not remember

Time is only a fog

transient in the material plane

time is an echo of the order of love

that finds its way through all things

If you want to know the patterns of human behaviour

study the sea and its patterns

if you want to know the emotional patterns of humanity

look at the cycles of birds, bees and all flying creatures

if you want to know the nature of human love

study the patterns of human folly

if you want to know your Self

study your own heart
