When the mind becomes Hollow.

I have spend the best part of a couple of hours on WP this afternoon, not only catching up on some of your  blog posts which have appeared in the reader, but I have been sifting through my archives, looking for inspiration.. My mind is kind of blank at the moment.. And tiredness sweeps in like waves rushing in on the shoreline.. as my energy comes in short bursts… I am just allowing myself to go within the flow.

Below is a poem I wrote back in 2011.. I did repost it again in 2012. But I know I have many more new subscribers, welcome to you all, who it will be new to..

Often our minds hold all the images we can do nothing about.  So sometimes, Clearing one’s thoughts is all we can do, as we learn to let go of the turmoil we keep within.. 

Have a Beautiful weekend all of you..

Love and Blessings

Hollow is the mind as you shut out the night

Images drift in as visions across the screen as you fight

The torments of a soul suspended within the illusion

As you twist and turn in the jungle of confusion

Darts of blame

Spears of flames

Arrows of truth piercing the layers

As they burn into your soul, sending out prayers

To all who would listen

Hark, Hear that? As tears glisten

Rolling down, they fall through time

Tasting their salty brine

The silence echoes back across the void

What is this world in which we’ve toyed?

This Garden of Eden in which we play

Why do we destroy and cause so much dismay?

The Visions erupt clear and sharp

Each one like a new thrown dart

You erase them, scrubbing them clean

Your mind the blackboard…… the screen

You take up the chalk and in Big Letters you write

There is only one answer for this world ..

UNITE

A common theme, a running thread

To pull together all pounding in my head

Nations against nation Man against Beast

I see it all as the story is unleashed

And as the Hollow is filled with thought

The restless mind in-between Worlds is caught

Seeing the Visions of Natures wrath

And all who will suffer along her path

Is it any wonder as I twist and turn

The Visions of our future are of Peace I yearn

So close your eyes- close them tight

Hollow is the mind as you shut out the night.

We Are the Light!

I was listening again to this music and I was reminded of a what I wrote back in 2009, in the form of the poem below, I wrote it on the beach while visiting the ocean I looked on as children played in the sand. 

Our Children Learn by example

Lets set them some good foundations to Grow with.

They are our future and our Light in the world… Teach them the ways of Unity,  Acceptance, Tolerance, and PEACE..

And allow them to learn about Earth Law,  And learn about legal Law..I had drafted this post last evening and as synchronicites conspired, . Today  I read Paul’s post on Learning From Dogs . And found on his post a video about The Children’s Climate Crusade 

For it will be our children who have to pick up all the mess we adults are leaving behind us. 

I  hope you find time to go and watch the video posted there.

~~~~~

Let Our Children Grow

I breathe deep breaths of salt sea air

The breeze does blow, playing with my hair

Children’s laugh and play in sand

A moment’s pause, in make-believe land.

 

As time stands still, I watch unseen

As families join this loving scene

Where sandcastles are built, with children’s smiles

The ocean is clear and smooth for miles

 

All so innocent, all so young

Unaware of life to come

Moments so precious, never to return

As memories of yesteryear I yearn.

 

A time when my children full of life

Not knowing that heartache could cut like a knife.

A time when life was simple and plain

Not knowing we each carry this pain.

 

I see so much, yet dare not tell

Shaking away dreams, I must not dwell.

So for now I freeze this moment in space

Sending out prayers for the Human Race.

 

These children whose laughter echoes in my ears

Are our future and hopes for all we hold dear.

So teach them to live, to love, and be free

We each play our part, meaning you and me.

 

Teach them to follow what lies in their heart

For material possessions we shall soon part

The values of life are not kept in the bank

For soon they will know, to the depth man has sank.

 

Disarm them with kindness, make them aware

That the future is in their hands, we need to share.

Let them know this Earth needs to heal

That All things Are possible, where nothing is real.

 

Help heal our world, Let our children grow

With knowledge of Love.. Let hatred go.

Tomorrow comes around, to those who wait

Help Our Children, Let’s not leave till too late.

Melting Hearts of Ice..

I hope all of you had a very enjoyable Christmas?

 Each snowflake is unique, so too are we..

Hold your own crystal Lights steady, if you are experiencing a storm in life.. Know as we send and give out our love, we will eventually melt those hearts which are encased in ice.. 

And  that  United ~ We  Are One.. 

Silently falling stars of light,

Covering colour in blankets of white

Whipped up and spun they form into drifts

Each snowflake unique from heaven a gift

~~

We bemoan the winter with icy blasts

And forget how nature her winter chill casts

As snow falls deep disrupting man’s plans

Nature is chieftain of all of man’s clans

We forget her might that’s held in the flood

Her power and strength to uproot everything that stood

In tornado’s terror and deadly sting

Nature is indiscriminate –Nature is King

So as I look out the window at soft flakes of snow

Drifting swiftly uniting below

Stopping Man in his tracks as his machines slips and slide

While each flake falls softly to lay side by side

One Flake on its own soon fades and melts

Yet when joined with others a blizzard is felt

I can’t help but wonder why man feels alone

As he feels himself separate from Natures Zone

~~

If he would but look how nature navigates 

Strength comes in unity, and co-operates

Trees shed their leaves, while berries feed the birds

Animals Hibernate while others grow fur

And after the fury of Nature’s Might

She brings forth Unity as we hold each other tight

She brings us together to rebuild communities torn

As neighbours unite forgetting to scorn.

So whatever the storm that passes you by

Remember the snowflake unique from on high

Its strength comes in numbers as it sticks together

And so man must learn, as he lives through all weathers

~~

United we stand and divided we fall

Hold love in your hearts and heed its call

For tomorrow the storms may sweep through your life

So stick together, steer clear of Fear’s strife

And remember we are One in that all affects the whole

And our judgments that condemn affect all of our souls

So I bid you Good cheer as you melt hearts of ice

What the world needs now is PEACE…So please be nice.

Gifts we already Hold~ In Gratitude

‘Season’s Gifts’

Our Season’s greetings now begun,

And gifts we give and songs we’ve sung

Of Peace on Earth Goodwill to men

Well I had to write and hold my pen

And tell you of the Gifts we hold

They come not of the Christmas Story told

But each and every day we see

The True gifts heaven sent to you and me

The ones of shelter from a storm

A roof and food and Healthy baby born

To walk to see and smile happily

And share the love of family

Let’s remember those who have no one

The orphan’s beggars and lonely ones

Those who are lost and those afraid

And those who are abused and dazed

Let’s count the Gifts of being warm

And pray for those who come to harm

Lets also remember the war torn spots

Where our soldiers lives are not just maps and dots

So when we unwrap our gifts this year

Let us remember with a tear

The Gifts we hold each and every day

To Give our thanks and Blessings say

Peace on Earth Goodwill to all men

And hold them in our hearts ..

Amen..

amwalker~

As we approach Christmas Let us remember this Season reminds us about the

Gifts of Giving

Let us also remember All those Gifts we have carried with us throughout the year while others around the world may have not been so fortunate

I want to add a quote here from a blogging friend Narf!  over at The Road to Serendipity  who commented upon my Previous post Time is Flying

“Life is amazing and we are here to document that awesomeness. Lets all stop paying homage to small things and go hunting for the beauty, the precious essence and the special moments in the everyday”

“Life is amazing and we are here to document that awesomeness. Lets all stop paying homage to small things and go hunting for the beauty, the precious essence and the special moments in the everyday “

How Time Is Flying!

 

 

 

                                                           

 TIME

 

Our lives are ruled by the hands on a clock.

Slowly moving forward with a tick that never stops.

Displaying the time, as we rush here and there.

With never a minute left over to spare.

 

The minute we are born, our weight and time recorded.

One year later, arrives our Birthday date as ordered.

When we are young and unaware of time.

 The days seamed longer, the weather seamed more fine.

 

Nothing seamed to matter, but the content of your day.

Playing and laughing, having fun was the way.

Just when did time take over? Take control.

Was it in the schoolyard, when the bell tolls?

 

Time is a condition that man has worked out.

We wake up in the morning to a bell or a shout.

But have we lost something special in time along the way.

We’ve no time to listen, or give the time of day-

To someone who might need just a minute of your time.

One kind word is all it takes to make a person shine.

 

Time marches onward and soon we are old and grey.

As we look back in our memories, regrets before us lay.

Don’t let it be too late to put right all the wrongs.

And don’t harbour bitter grudges, let harmony be your song.

 

For time creeps on, and might catch you unawares.

Then you’ll wish the time you had were more lovingly prepared.

For God gave you this time, to use for love always.

Use it wisely and you will find contentment all your days.

The Above Poem I wrote in 2007. Time is all about perception.. Sometimes an hour can fly in a matter of minutes, while sometimes a minutes may seem to last an hour.. 

What ever you are doing this weekend,

Enjoy your Time..

And remember the Only Time we Live is in the NOW of this Moment..

We can not live in the Past or worry about the Future

Use your Time Wisely

And Be good to One another

Over and Through~ We Weave..

So this is what I have been busy creating over the past few weeks, I have been busy Knitting some gifts.. I finished the Shawl .

Baby Shawl finished

This shawl covers half a double bed

This is the edging on the shawl .. It then gets sown onto the main body of the shawl.

 

In-Over- Through-Off!

Egg Cosy’s -Rabbits to keep my boiled egg warm in the mornings

And also I have started to knit something for myself.. I hope I will have finished for Christmas a gift to myself.

And Remember we all of are creating with our Threads of Life every day as we go Into our day, we may have to Overcome many obstacles as we go through our life’s lessons.. One day we are all of us getting Off this Planet, So Weave your Life’s Blankets well.. Every stitch Counts!

Weaving

We weave the threads in our Tapestry

With colours we mingle and blend

Creating a picture, that mystery of Life,

That we dream will never end.

In and over obstacles, weaving on the loom

Threads of memories of spangled Stars

Emotions Tides of silver Moon

Flying back in time we speed

Embracing Light from darkened minds

A memory of long ago when all was right

When we All held Light

Now as the loom of life we spin

We always fight, we want to win

As in and out the greed does grab

And turns the cloth to make it drab.

Oh how we weave the web of life

We chose the colours, our joys and strife

Dream weaver I am not, and yet

I walk with hope, and send out prayer

And Dream we do not let the fabric tare

The Balance of the weave must neatly fold

For in our history it is foretold

What we do unto the web we spin

We create our lives therein..

Are you in your Light Bubble?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness’ only Light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out Hate; 

Only Love can do that.

 

Martin Luther King, Jr

I watched a TV programme on Sunday about Star gazing and a place in Northumberland where there is no light pollution in the sky.. The thousands of stars that twinkled down were phenomenal.

Since the beginning of time, humans have gazed at the stars in the night sky with awe, looking for answers and inspiration to guide them. We have grown up with stories of gods and goddesses, astrology,  and astronomy.

We have worshipped, wondered, and even projected ourselves out into space both physically and mentally  in an attempt to understand their magical essence. We know more now than we ever have about what those celestial lights are, how far away they reside. We spend Billions of $ and £’s in exploration to travel to another planet.. And yet we fail so miserably in attempting to Conserve and Protect many species  which go extinct daily. And we fail to see how we as Human Beings are destroying our very home, Planet Earth. 

Humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control, and survival, instead of one of trust and collaboration with the universe. Yet, in truth, we need to adhere to both ideas in this life. We need to be mindful for  on the one hand, there is much to be said about exerting control over our environment. We created shelter to protect ourselves from the elements. We hunted for animals and invented agriculture to feed ourselves.

We built social infrastructures to protect ourselves and create community. This is how we survive and grow as a civilization. However, it is also clear that there are plenty of things that we cannot control, no matter how hard we try, these are the events around our globe which bring suffering, disease and disasters.  We forget  we are supported from an unseen force – a universe that provides us with what we cannot provide for ourselves.

So as I look to the Stars I also know that we have to take on Personal Responsibility. These are the things we can control in life.  But I also know that we need to Trust in the process of the Universe.. We need to manifest our dreams and visions. When we understand our very thoughts are bringing into our physical reality that which we focus our intent upon.. So I ask you to think carefully what Drama’s you are getting caught up within.

I know its not easy, but the more we focus upon our own Lights and live within our own bubbles we are helping bring Positive Change.. It all starts from within.. And we then must Trust, let go and allow the universe to take over.

As I look at the picture below I know we can all sprinkle our various Bubbles of Light around the world.. We do it by treating each other as we would wish to be treated.. We stop buying into Gossip and spreading the woe is me stories of doom and gloom..  Yes there are horrid things happening out there.. And I am as compassionate as the next. But if I am fearful or I spread doom and Gloom.. I am only adding more Darkness to the world.. So I choose to sit in my bubble and spread a little Love and Light..

 

Bubbles Of Light

Out into space I travel afar

Gazing back down from that far away star

The light is forever within my grasp

As I watch over the changes of my past

One by one my memories fall

As downward they tumble as I hear your call

Those spheres of light are orbs of truth

Memories recalled way back in my youth

Time trickles onward like the grains of sand

Of a place and a time in a far away land

When all were happy and all were free

And when bubbles of Light

Were just you and me..

Autumns Dance

Spirit of Autumn, My interpretation of the Magic of Autumn Gold.

The Winds Dance

From where does the wind gain her mighty strength?

How long is her trail, her width and her length?

From whence does a breeze grow into a gale?

As she shrieks and blusters bringing down hail

~~

And how does her anger in tornadoes twirl

Calm to the silence in the eye of a storm

And when does her shout fall to whispers and calm

That caressers the skin in the light of the dawn

~~

She flirts with the leaves to twist them and prance

Lifting them up to have their last dance

Her friend is the rain as he falls from the sky

Pelting the ground as he matches her sighs

~~

She finds every nook and the cracks to creep in

Howling laments as she shrieks out her din

The trees bow their heads in respect to her might

Those who resist are snapped in their fight

~~

She whips up the oceans creating great swells

And blows in the mountains, valleys and dells

She blows up the snow that drifts on the ground

She’s gentle and silent then violent and loud

~~

Never underestimate Nature with all of her sides

She’s stronger than Man despite all of his strides

Respect ALL the elements, to not is to fall

Because Nature is Mother, Listen to her call

My thoughts are sent out to those in the path of any forthcoming storms around the world..

 I wrote this poem some time ago when we were experiencing High winds..

The above artwork I did a couple of years ago.. As I tried to capture the Golden Magic of Autumn and the glitter of Frost upon the fallen leaves.. 

I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful week as I leave you with this poem.

Blessings and thank you for reading and Welcome to all who are newly subscribed to Dreamwalker’s Sanctuary I hope you enjoy your browsing experience.

The Ethers of Illusion

Illusion.

What do you see in this Reality?

 

Do not your eyes view what is real to see?

 

Can you not touch the tangible fusion?

 

Or do we gaze into the ethers of illusion,

 

What trickery mocks us as we take in the lies

 

Binding our thoughts in roots of indoctrination

 

Following the herd, bleating like sheep

Held captive, half asleep.

 

What happened to the land of the Free?

 

Conform or suffer, or pay the penalty

 

What is your reality?

 

Come, let me walk you through the misty vale.

 

To where this illusion significantly pales

 

We are magnificent magicians whose thoughts cast their magic

 

Where all is possible, where to doubt is tragic

 

Seek and Find, let go of fear

 

Dance in joy as Light penetrates your sphere

 

For you have forgotten our Time’s lost spell

 

As into the abyss of darkness you dwell.

 

Open your eyes and open your hearts.

 

Let the Light dispel all dark

 

Fear nothing, hate less, and embrace ALL

 

Seek a new illusion before you fall.

 

Stop following blindly, grasp hold of Love today

 

Remember your tomorrows, forget your yesterdays

 

Reach for the memory held high up in the stars

 

And heal from within, let go of all your scars

 

Sit in the silence; begin to know who you are

 

As illusion drifts away revealing Ancient Stars

 

Your time is but a moment, live each moment well,

 

For soon the illusion shatters, broken like a spell.

I resurrected this poem which I published 4 years ago.. As it seems we are bombarded on all sides from the negative energies which are being put out.. 

Detach and spend some time in your Quite zones of thought.. Bring in the Peace around you, and know that we are Magnificent BEings who have remarkable powers..

The Power of Thought!

What we Think we Create

We are the ones creating the chaos… So choose to create Peace.. Don’t allow yourselves to get caught up within the Fear being put out.. 

Know your time is but a moment, Live each moment well

For soon the Illusion shatters,

Broken like a Spell. 

Enjoy your week 

Blessings 

Sue
