Poems



Our Constant Life Constant is the rhythmic eternal heartbeat of mother earth, resounding in my soul like an apache drum. Constant are the tall mountains of hidden treasures yet to be discovered, untouched mysteries as they reach up to God s kingdom. Constant are the stars that shine as the wise ones who once walked the earth and gave their knowledge, now watching over us, lighting our path, guiding our way. Constant is the fiery flame that is our sun, the illuminate glow that is our moon. Soft is the wind that moves the clouds, that lifts the bird, that blows the hair softly from my face. Constant is the water, the rain to cleanse our earth that pours from the heavens above and replenishes the soil. The mighty ocean, forceful powerful waves, like immense walls of steel; only to be calm again feeling its own ever flowing peace of the tides that wash away the times that were. Constant is the lake so still as I drop a pebble; each ripple reflecting the changes in my life. Constant is life Constant is Gods loving imagination and creation. Constant am I.

There Might Come a Time There will always be good and always be evil, so they say, and it is the innocent who suffer and the innocent who for the sins of the guilty pay &. But how I wish that there might come a day, a time, when evil is banished forever and the innocent walk strong and free in a world full of peace and joy, and as we move slowly towards judgement day I wonder could it ever really be that way? Written by Nikki Reevely in 1985 and sent to Earthways to be placed on the poem page, Thankyou Nikki. Love IS A pink rose, touched by the morning dew, Love IS A baby, fresh from source, and born anew. Love IS The laughter of a child, like a rippling stream, Love IS The love of like-minded souls, working as a team. Love IS The love of a mother caressing her child, Love IS Dancing to the heartbeat of drums, and going wild. Love IS The warm touch of summer and the fresh kiss of spring, Love IS Music, that thrills our ears, and makes our hearts sing. Love IS The colour autumn, when leaves start to fall, Love IS Beautiful,Love IS Forgiving, Love IS Joyous,Love IS ALL.. Written by Lizzie Stockwell when asked in Thursday s morning meditation group "what does love mean to you?"

I would also like to dedicate this to the group of people who help to create Earthways. You all make me feel whole and give me hope, may we continue to shine and illuminate the planet with LOVE. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Pen, Trace, Jayne, Suze, Ped, Mand, Woo, Ali, Nik, Kev, Rob, Robo, Phil, Jake, El, Rose, Win, Helen, Sallyanne, Lizzie, Lesley and Noreen Om Shanti

Unity At times like these… Be Strong. Strength is not holding back your tears, Nor withholding your emotions Or standing alone to fight your fears. For strength is within unity, And unity we possess. This bond it is unbreakable. Our family, with Love, Blessed . This Love bond held in family, Upholds the brightest light To guide us through another step A journey not a fight. For many warm reflections Follow on from times like these Experience testing moments Forget the trivial things. A reminder of the Love we have The Real strength that is here. Often overlooked but ne'er forgotten Because it's always there. A reminder of the dreams we have Our hopes and aspirations, To take another view, A few moments contemplation. A reminder of the Love that's here And not to get complacent Nor to take for granted The dearest to you, past and present. To give an extra meaning for The people close to heart. Take care of every aspect of the family And it will never be apart. Don't fear what is unknown to you, But grasp it by the hand. Support, Love, Light surrounds you, On your feet you're bound to land. Discover new perspectives, Walk never travelled paths, Learn from them, then gently lay them down As lessons learnt and past. For from this we'll all be stronger Reality check on route For all that really matters Is LOVE is absolute.
