Hush-a-Bye, Lull-a-Bye
O precious babe let your drowsy eyes sleep, Let go of your woes and relax into peace. Mother is near to protect and keep peace, Guarding your cradle all while you sleep. Dream, sweet darling, of angels aglow, Keeping you safe, surrounding you whole. O dear child, of pure, white soul, Rest in quiet, tranquil [...]

I Align Within
Quiet stillness, I align within, manifesting calm descends; O awareness rising slowly, inscrutable love now ascends. This mountain glade does inspire, Lifting my soul ever higher. Nature’s essence, a soothing transcend. Find your core, your soul’s content, Through intervals of malcontent, A state of lenity you can acquire; Quiet stillness, I [...]

As If Were Lost…
As if were lost, I searched for me,Many years so long have come to pass. -Outside myself I thought would be,As if were lost, I searched for me.But soon I found ‘twas not decreed, Light within soon shown at last.As if were lost, I searched for me, Many years so long have come to pass! [...]

Healing
The layers are peeling And my heart is healing Because I’m willing to look Unwavering at what’s afoot My eyes are unflinching I won’t look away At even the darkest, shadowy Places within Healing takes place When I acknowledge the truth No pretending what I’m not But embracing the facts No deceiving myself Shine a [...]

Quiet
In the quiet of the evening When all is still and tranquil I breathe in deep and sense my essence Pure, everlasting acquiescence The gentle silence of the night Soothes me into peaceful harmony No thoughts invade to bring discord Turned within, I find serenity Sitting motionless, relaxed and steady I feel composed and undisturbed [...]

When the Moment Comes I Die
When the moment comes I die My breath will leave me with a sigh Ahh, at last I’ll be at rest All trials and burdens will be in the past I’ll be alone when I am gone– Alike the same as when I came This shell will be tired and withered worn And I’ll be [...]
