Float free – A Dandelion
No sense of
Self-aggrandisement
Self-entitlement
Arrogance
Hubris
Anger –
Float free.
Edges fraying
Unravelling…
A lightness I feel
As I float free
Melting in the gold dust on sunbeams
In the abundance of the universe.
The webs springing around my edges
Are not chains that contain me
But home to others who thrive with me
For we all live together
This world is yours and this world is mine
For whatever time we are in it.
Float free
Free in the golden sunshine
Free on the breeze
Free in my being
Free in the Universe of love.

Joyous Dance of Life
In time…
People go away,
Shedding their mortal coils.
A lifetime lived like
A glorious grain of sand
On the vast beach of life
Whipped to life
by the breath of the wind
And dancing there ecstatically
Its dance of life!
And when the wind stops…
From its ecstatic frenzy
It comes to rest
Once again at one with the beach
Mingling with the vastness of the Universe
At rest on the beachfront
To be swept away with the waves
Perhaps deposited on other shores.
And, then one day again
When the wind plays hard
The grain of sand shall rise once again
To dance its euphoric dance of life
Perhaps on those very shores
Or even distant ones
For it is its nature
To rest and dance
Dance and rest!
But until it rises again,
All that remains is
Golden memories of the gold dust on sunbeams
Rising from the sands of time
To joyously, gracefully
Dance its golden dance
Swirling to the lilting tunes of the wind
Whirling like a dervish on the beach.
Gold dust on Sunbeams
Floating in the sunshine…
Warming the heart
With the warmth of memories
A smile here, a laugh there…
Some heartwarming words
And the warmth of actions past
Warming the heart
like golden sunshine on a winter morning.
