Can you see your beauty?

My lovely friend Maureen gave me a (written) talking to after this post.
She told me to stop wasting my time and talent on producing fluff.

Although the fluff helps me to focus on the beautiful, on the sacred in the ordinary, I did get her point.
So thanks to Maureen, as a starting point, you guys will be subjected to one poem a week for the rest of this year :-).


Here is the first one. It was inspired by Steve Rother and the Group, and their wonderful Beacons of Light.

can you see your beauty, darling?

 lost in time, stuck in your head, frightened and proud

but can you see your beauty?

always, always it is there

in your struggle

controlling and cowed

in your monotony

in your doubt

  in your blindness

lost in the crowd

and then:

the smile of a friend

a bird in flight

a long lost scent

a beautiful sight

your thoughts stop

you awaken

a split second

of recognition

a split second

of reunion

a split second

of Home

remembering

when you see your beauty, darling

the world will heal throughout

Lots of love,
