Being Human
All that I was
All that I am
All that I will be
A body of flesh, bone and blood
A mind like a roller coaster of highs and lows
A river of emotions ebbs and flows
Ability to see, hear, scent, feel and touch
A spirit that soars beyond this world.
We co create and exist with all life
Overcome challenges, serve those in need
United together we help one another
connect our hearts worldwide at lightning speed
Yet now we have a mountain to climb
A new threat to sentience we’ve given our power to
Hidden seduction, influencing our minds
Voices which tell us it’s all for our good
Where did human survival skills go
As technology blinds us to what we know
How did we get to this point of losing
The greatest power we haven’t even untapped
Being human much more than appearance
Quantum power lives in mind, body, spirit
Heartbreak watching humans discarded
A new era of tech marches unguarded
Minds in distress, identities debated
Machines dictating, creative lives disabled
Joy, love, laughter and tears
Dies off by the second with minds in fear
Please tell me I’m wrong, my tears are not warranted
being human will prevail
no longer then, a need for this tale.
Unseen Mind
Inside me is an unseen mind
This mind is me, the real me
Its not what I think is my mind
It is who I am, not what I think I am
Thinking is my downfall
Thinking masks my real mind
Yet my thoughts work with this mind
My body acts for this mind
My soul sings for this mind
This mind strengthens me
This mind gives me courage
I write from this mind
I create from this mind
I am calm with this mind
I am still with this mind
I heal with this mind
This mind Knows who I am
Loves who I am
Is who I am
I am life
I am love
I am my beautiful
unseen mind
Finding Me
It all seems a blur
childhood to adult
life’s trials, tribulations
challenges and issues
celebrations, commiserations
highest of highs, lowest of lows
Black clouds, Sunshine
rain, snow or hail
life’s maze, the will to prevail
without darkness
I would not know light
without pain
love is not a gain
life my teacher
greater than school
its gifts an artist’s palette
colouring my adventure
no one can teach
Wisdom and Grace
nor reveal Truth
staring in your face
I took the spade
I started digging
created space
where new could replace
the worn out me I thought I was
and like the seed germinates in soil
the real me sprouted
I grew from the toil
my buds came forth
blossomed in the sun
the cycle of life now begun
death and rebirth
each new bloom
given room
to keep on shedding
keep on growing
living the journey
the circle of life
in finding me.
