The answer came to me
Not in a flash of light
Nor as a wave crashing in the night
That those past lives lived
Come to us in a way
So simple and so straight away
They come in our DNA.
We remember things gone by
And don’t know why
But the reason is
They are in our DNA.
Such as when you think
You’ve been here before
Think again
For you have been
It’s all written in your DNA.
They tell us what we need
What will make us pleased
It’s all there in our DNA.
When you think you’ve been
In this situation once again
It’s most likely true
The blueprints shows us
Thru and thru all that’s written
There in our DNA.
Why we laugh and grin
Why we cry and don’t know why
The answer is in no other place
It’s our saving grace
There within for eons been
Hidden in our DNA.

The world is a better place
Because of you
And a saving grace
That which is embedded
In each and every place
we chose to live and grow.
See your place now filled
with melancholy lavender
And smell the fragrance
As you sink into that special space
Embraced by a living
Loving, saving grace
Knowing, this is a better place
The best place in this world
Only, because of you.

Once more I write 2013. Still strange and scary in some way.
Gone, lost, done is the 2012 year.
Whatever I had wanted to accomplish in that year
I did – or – I didn’t.
It has ended now and I can’t change one bit of it.
Regrets? Yes.
Devastating? Most certainly.
Truly heart-warming? Yes, and much more.
Now I must move on, make this new year the best that I can.
Will I have setbacks and heartache?
Most likely.
But I know I will also have experiences that will take me to the top.
Joy, happiness, success and most of all, love.
This I know because I will make it so.
This is my plan. My resolution for this new year.
Come join me, make it your best year yet. Filled with happiness, love and those wonderful experiences that will carry you thru any dark days that do occur.
And be assured, they will happen.
But change that negative, find something positive in even those dark moments.
Make the world a better place because you were here and chose to do so.

Shall we start?

The morning rises sun in tow
Showing all a new way to go
Follow the path
Down to the road
That takes you
Where you can behold
Wonders beyond your imagination
Wonders all untold.
Follow your imagination
Guided by your intuition
On that trail
Meant for you alone to go
See things that you can accomplish
See things that others can also do
Make this year a wonder
As the morning rises there
Above of you.

Strong and loyal seeking in you tonight
Power and beauty found deep inside you alright
No matter the climate or beat of the heart
Magnificence reigns here and is part
Of all wonders found there in your heart.
What have you seen?
Who do you know?
Nothing it seems depends on this now
All that matters, transgresses or bestows
Is felt on the matter here before
Rising up welding courage and lo
Strong and loyal are still seeking below.

Tremendous is the word I see
Nothing else will ever be
Put it down to what has been
Let it go, see it spin
Reeling back around again.
Not just once
But back again
And there again
Again again.
See it spin in front of me
Reeling, reeling back around
Not just once but all around
And round again
Tremendous is what it is to me.

If you talk a lot
You say a bit
It may be factual
But is it legit?
You don’t need to speak
Everything you think
Only that, that
Spreads the word.
Make it what you need
Even if its just a little bit
Maybe just a seed.
