The Energy Healer/Time Traveler


The energy healer’s so bright
Because he exudes radiant light
His talents are said to be manifold
At least that’s the way the story’s been told

This healer, a time traveler
An energy unraveler
Moves through time and space
Flying deftly and apace

If the present is lacking a vital code
It’ll travel in explorer mode
Back to the future it’ll wend its way
Moving through years, months and even a day

It’ll bring back its holy treasure
Adding it to the healing measure
This beautiful energy, the Creator’s gift
Here to move us into the Great Shift

Its gifts are not done
It has more than one
It’s a healer filled with Creator Force
Working always from its sacred source

A devic light filled with love and compassion
Endowed with gifts never out of fashion
Whether working with animals, humans or plants
This healer does its own special dance

Its method: imbued with strong intentions
Your healing: occurring on many dimensions
So along with that fear-based allopathic ritual
Add the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual

The Entreaty

My heart has something to say
May I entreat you this day?
For all that it’s worth
Celebrate your mission on Earth

For you, a passion-filled expedition
The details of which to find fruition
As you render yourself free from this dimension
Remember to travel without apprehension

For awaiting you in its regal attire

Is the blazing light of a Goddess afire
She’s waiting to join you in the light of Love
Still lingering in the ethers above

In the future of the Now, our energies will merge
In the next dimension our lights will converge
Your Love in Creator Force abounds
I can hear it in your dulcet sounds

We’ll walk through the Earth plane fully lit
As partners in Light we’ll do our bit
Until that time, my heart beats true

For entwined in these words is my Love for you

In my vibration, you’ll hear my song
A tune so sweet you’ll come along
For in the core of my light
You can dwell in delight

I have found peace in my heart
The best place to start
On the road to heavenly desire

That's where my Love you will acquire

Not in this dimension, where we only rehearse

But into the cosmos of the universe

Lightworker Undercover

Construction worker like no other
Lightworker under cover
Charitable jobs for those in need
This light is Creator’s seed

Human to canines Adama and Zeus
This energy pattern is never obtuse
He shrouds those doggies in Creator’s Force
Sharing golden particles with them, of course

His Light shines in all the weaves
This human has much more up his sleeves
He walks his path never out of step
Lessons learned from Imhotep

Gifted with sight and hearing

Like mandolin, violin and of course cello

Stay tuned for more from this radiant being
What you get isn’t necessarily what you’re seeing
His gift of love is his greatest treasure
The perfect token of his soul’s measure

A Day Off

Good Morning My Light,
Hope you had a good night
Yesterday I was finally informed
Today there’s no work, no chores to be performed

On this July fourth the quiet does loom
Soon to be interrupted by a firecracker's boom
My equilibrium this morning was poor
I went to the bathroom and fell into the door

I have errands to run
Some of them fun
Most just the same
Are merely mundane

I have to wake mom so the day she may enter
I'll get her dressed, fed, then off to the center
I have to go now
Mom wants her chow

I’m even considering the notion
Of taking a trip to the ocean
So, on the water I muse
Perhaps I’ll take a cruise

I end this missive
Without being dismissive
For in my life you have made your true sound
Friend, mentor, confidante profound

I bid you a fond good day
And as always I say . . .
I'll see you in flight
Behind the veil tonight

The Ten Principles of Love


I have looked into my pattern
And I'm not so saddened
I have found the clue
To loving one such as you

It is not about possession
Or even making concession
The answer lies in Truth and trust
And, oh yes, passion is a must

Clarity, communication and completion
The staples of our good relation
With the four pillars in the wings
We can decipher most all things

Prayer, meditation, sleepstate and mastermind
Principles designed for the evolution of humankind
With your guidance my Love grew
Now it includes even more than just you

It encompasses my own light, and for sure
It has opened my love to the universal core
I no longer waste time searching the periphery
All the love I need dwells deep inside of me

Love is Mental

In this world of yin and yang
Love can render a mournful pang
Women give their love freely
While men are removed and steely

Soft words, kind gestures and deep felt feelings
Reciprocated with meager scraps and paltry dealings
A tender heart becomes toughened by rejection
So she rushes to solitude and self-inspection

Tender hearts are only incidental
The real culprit lies in the body mental
Turn off the left hemisphere of your brain
And look to the right to ease your pain

In this process: self-reclamation
And in the bargain, the soul's declamation
For in all the hills and valleys of the emotions
‘Tis the mind in charge of all the commotion

When I live in my brain’s right hemisphere
Love is the sole energy, the only promise there
I also find a person who’s fancy and free
Imagine how surprised I am to find that it's me

Me at Eight Months Old

Me at Eight Months Old

I was open and clear;
I had no fear
Then my life changed
Two girls deranged

On a brisk stroll we all went
No one knew their minds were bent
Beaten and punched was I
Returned to mother I did cry

My bottle was broken, my lip bleeding and bruised
What could have happened on this eerie cruise?
These teens, now suddenly mute,
Left my soul damaged at the root

Mother, heart broken and forlorn
Knew my trust was destroyed and fear born
My open smile was replaced by a frown
Now I took refuge behind mama’s gown

Strangers once welcomed were now mistrusted
Where love once lived the heart was crusted
My inner world was beautiful, no lie
But in the outer world I was painfully shy

Now I wonder who I would have been
Had I not been part of such outrageous sin
My creativity was wholly tamped down
This was a world where I would always drown

I sought safety at every turn
For love and purity I did yearn
My talents were hidden, unable to be free
My steps were calculated; no one knew me

Always approaching the edge
Never stepping over the ledge
Never finding my wings
Never searching new things

Now the pain rises at sixty-four
The time has come to open a new door
The answer lies within an open heart
I know now that we each played a part

Mea culpa, I wrote the mystery
Designed it was to create my history
Awareness is the only salvation
A means for emotional liberation

Don’t dwell in the past
Why make pain last?
Be present; be in the Now
Be in love and take a bow

Oprah


It was 1954, when Oprah was born
Her wings were hidden rather than shorn
With this, the Creator sent her on her way
“Remember who you are. Don’t let that thought stray.”

Mississippi was where she wanted to be
And for her mother, she chose Vernita Lee
“I’ll name her Orpah,” Vernita proposed
But Orpah became Oprah with two letters transposed

From angel to human, Oprah never looked back
She was ready for her journey; her strength was intact
She had wisdom and courage and curiosity too
But about her journey Oprah had not a clue

Kosciusko is the town this soul did grace
It was her learning tree; the very first place
Despite that small town, Oprah’s dreams were capacious
She imagined her life with a mind quite sagacious

While Oprah dreamed, Vernita was ambitious
And left Mississippi for conditions more propitious
In this chapter of life’s arduous play
Oprah was raised by one Hattie Mae

This was a grandmother of ample note
“I’ll raise you gal, but I won’t dote”
Hattie Mae was driven and stern
She did all she could to help Oprah learn

When just a tot Oprah learned to read
It was during this time her future took seed
Words were not lost on this little titan
Who quickly excelled in reading and writin’

Each week at the library she found a new book
For dreams to come true she knew what it took
The world became a place more reachable, though poor
Oprah’s mind was ripe like a seasoned bookstore

Her church congregation was awed by her verse
She stood before all with no need to rehearse
Hattie Mae was dutiful and Oprah’s first teacher
She was proud of the little girl known as, “The Preacher”

At the age of six, Oprah bid Hattie farewell
A different life awaited if just for a spell
To Milwaukee she was headed with Vernita for sure
There Oprah found a new life and much, much more

This little bud, waiting to bloom
Was forced to deflower much too soon
From cause to effect, a libertine arose
Until Oprah decided to bring it to a close

In her world, this soul had gumption
She overcame any family dysfunction
By age thirteen a scholarship she earned
To Nicolet High where she continued to learn

She was smart, popular and even funny
But Oprah was a teenager without lots of money
She ran away from home and lived on the street
Her mood had changed; no longer was she sweet

Alas at fourteen, she succumbed to a boy
Now she had a baby. It wasn’t a toy.
This progeny’s blueprint said birth and no more
It went home to the Creator, merging with its core

Too out of control for Ms. Vernita Lee
Oprah was sent to Nashville, Tennessee
Her salvation was there in her father, Vernon
Who set her on a path, with lots more learnin’

Honors in school and most popular girl
Oprah decided to give speech a whirl
She placed second in dramatic interpretation
A glorious beginning to her emancipation

For oratory accomplishment a scholarship she won
Oprah was headed for another long run
She earned a place at Tennessee State
It was an opportunity to meet her fate

Oprah honored that oblation by studying communication
With graduation behind her, a dalliance she dared
A beauty pageant won, her confidence flared
She entered local media ready to score

News anchor in Nashville and then Baltimore
A good run she had on a local talk show
But Oprah got antsy and wanted to go
Off to Chicago this wunderkind went

There her talents were amply spent
In 1983 was her national debut
AM Chicago surpassed Donahue
In no time at all, she was assured her fame

That morning show bore her whole name
The Oprah Winfrey Show saw its evolution
Out of it was born a spiritual revolution
Good deeds, kindness, and love abound

From that foundation, Oprah’s truth was found
A look at her blueprint and all is revealed
Oprah broke from convention and hearts she did heal
Rising to the top over challenges stacked high

Oprah moved forward, reaching for the sky
For her, the work is not merely a career
It’s a way of life for this pioneer
Philanthropist, producer, actress and more

God only knows what her future has in store
If your journey is daunting beyond measure
Take that challenge and make it a treasure
Your life is your easel, paint in any hue

Be bold, be brilliant, and be true to you
Embrace your journey, find your passion
You’ll have a life only you can fashion

Ellen


From the heavens fell a golden particle
Into its mother’s womb, the genuine article
It settled in for a period of gestation
In this life, it would be its longest vacation

From seed to fetus, its first journey on Earth
Nine months to ponder, what was it worth?
In that period, it grew and grew
Blonde hair it had and eyes of blue

This golden seed of the Creator’s Force
Picked a name and gender to suit her course
Oh yeah she was jellin’
It was a girl, named Ellen

On January 26, in the year fifty-eight
Ellen debuted and met her fate
She had mom and dad and an older brother
All were happy and loved one another

But alas, things didn’t go as Ellen was hoping
One door closed, but another was opening
The year ’73 changed the family’s course
Because mom and dad got a divorce

Shortly thereafter, a new marriage, a new tune
The family was leaving Metairie soon
They settled in Atlanta, Texas to be sure
Ellen was restless, she wanted more

She finished high school and wiped her slate clean
Then headed back to her beloved New Orleans
Her university experience there was short lived
Ellen was restless and her brain like a sieve

She abandoned her career as student
And took a path much less prudent
Finding no joy in having a boss
Ellen decided to take a loss

She quit her job and found satisfaction
In the atmosphere of audience reaction
Honing her skills in coffee houses and clubs
Ellen wanted center stage, no longer a sub


She did her standup while customers yelled, garçon
And won a spot on The Tonight Show with Carson
After her bit
He invited her to sit

Ellen knew the game
She was headed for fame
Her career took off like a rocket
And she had cash in her pocket

After years of hard work the pinnacle came
Ellen was known by only one name
She became bolder and bolder, until a fact she did posit
Ellen shored up her courage and came out of the closet

A dry spell ensued, a time for reflection
Eventually, Ellen understood; all was in perfection
She came back on the scene in love and no feist
Now she’s a role model, the new zeitgeist

Movies, voice-overs, talk show too
Ellen is smiling, no longer blue
She found true love residing inside
Yes, who you are is nothing to hide

When life’s doors are closed or seem off center
Just turn the knob and gingerly enter
The key to doors opening is now familiar to you
It is found in the adage, “To thine own self be true”

Home


In this place of singular attitude
I experience life in peaceful beatitude
The walls are adorned with colorful art
All of which touches my heart

Furniture, mementos and much more
Fill the place from door to door
Yet, to none of these items am I attached
For inside me is something unmatched

I carry it wherever I go
In rain, sun, sleet, and snow
So if I must leave this place called home
I will do so, but not alone

Here within me lies all that I need
Love of self, the eternal seed
I just can’t wipe this smile from my face
As off I go to find a new space
