When…

When your tears become a river
Washing out to sea
She will shed hers too
Alone so you cannot see

When harsh darkness shrouds you
And with pain and anguish cower
She will hold back the shadows
In this your darkest hour

When you need a beacon
To light a pitch black path
She’ll be right there beside you
The light of love in her heart

When you are tired and weary
And the demons starts to rise
She will slay them for you
With the fury in her eyes

When you feel you are deserted
And that you face this world alone
She’ll reach out and take your hand
And guide you safely home

My wish for you

My wish for you

My wish for you is freedom
From the cage which you are in
To live a life you choose
In a place your heart can sing

My wish for you is happiness
Seated deep within your being
The kind that breeds contentment
Which you have rarely seen

My wish you is peace
May you find it in this life
Away from pain and suffering
Anguish, fear and strife

My wish for you is love
That eternal burning flame
To glow bright within your heart
And make you whole again

Lion and His Mate

Lion and His Mate

A storm brews in the distance
Hear the thunder roar
Lightning streaks across the sky
The stillness I absorb

The atmosphere electric
My senses come alive
Winds begin to blow
Stinging my weary eyes

I love these precious moments
When my energy ignites
Nature’s special gift to me
I accept with delight

The Universal provides
As and when we need
Like the raindrops falling gently
On the thirsty seed

A lion appears before me
Majestic, alluring, proud
I raise my voice in pleasure
Call to him out loud

He will not come toward me
Just stands and holds his ground
Untrusting and wary
Of where love can be found

With each lightning strike
I see deep within his soul
The hurt the pain the anguish
From experiences untold

The storm abates around us
Please don’t hesitate
Let’s face life together
The Lion and his mate
