Wharahine poems 1/9/09

for Evie age 19 months

an angel came down from above.

she held my hand, I was walking.

She made me laugh. I tickled.

She smiled. I smiled.

a song was singing,

a very long song.

All day and all night

I listened to the angel singing

her song

‘Flower’

(later I found out she had just learned to say the word ‘flower’)

for Corie age 16

when love and laughter mix

and fruit trees grow strong

angels sing and dance

from daylight till dawn

songs of hope, songs of joy,

songs of peace, that it may be

a source of strength

for all who pass

Grace-ful-ly.

for Abbe age 2

rain falls down.

an angel rises up.

a snail finds its way.

little birds are singing.

grass is growing strong.

Love is in the Day,

and in the Night.

for Ryan age 6

in the olden days

flowers grew tall

and filled with love,

and perfume.

an angel and a dove

on a boat

sailed together.

such are stories

such are songs.

for Emma age 9

a song is like an ointment

I soothes the sore-ly heart.

an angel lies dreaming

under a giant tree.

Earth is a place of Magic

if we only had eyes to see.

in between times, a river flows

Peaceful

as can be.


for Josh age 14

in one jump

I cross mountains

glimpse futures

unseeable

unknowable.

I sense the distance.

it goes out further, then closer,

further and closer.

it is my breath that rings out

through town and city, countryside and forest,

now dim, now bright,

now welcome, now giving.

in becoming out, and out becoming in.

less than

a breath away

is the Light.

Earth has an ancestor, Light.

Moon has a family, Love.

Roses are the doors to the Spirit.

Each has a fragrance of Joy,

as she sings

across the Times,

good, and bad.

for Mikaela age 19

as curtains come down

so rain comes

slowly at first

then a torrent.

a river rushes on

to a great big sea

yet each Drop

was once

like thee.

Each single drop,

each tear,

is golden , and shining

and soars

upon night winds

to the stars.

Each tiny crystal in Earth,

has a place,

has a meaning,

in the structure

that is

Purpose.

so each breath,

each glint in the eye,

rings out,

to Angels

who sing of them,

and their glory,

day

and night,

constant-ly.

Chloe age 16

Sunrise

is in your eyes,

each Day

gives out

its morning,

shining, with blossoms

is this tree,

its fruit given,

for the lost,

ones.

Masters walked this Earth,

at times.

This Earth is Love,

fulfilled.

And,

this generous mountain

is climbed

to greet the Day

with Song.

Blessings of Light

rain down,

Soul is welcomed, softly.

A Great Storm may come,

but the Ship is safe

and crosses the Great Sea

that is

Remembering.
