FROM THE OCEANSIDE

REAL ME


Be, and watch the wind

Within itself it begins

Moving

Only it knows where it ends


Proving

It always does begin again

I cannot doubt what I'm receiving


How can I believe in anything?

A little bird flies

A little bird flies, until one day it flies enough to realize


How it sings its way through the storm

Hark, the one who knows where I will be

Even if no one hears, I believe


It brings all parts of itself

So that I can receive what I need

Rainbow wings over everything


Because God is the Only :: Omnipotent :: One

And I'm a daughter of the ☀️

No one sees me the way God sees me


Because everything goes away, away it goes

But Salvation and that which it knows

To be free

The real me

LITTLE BIRDS


The way that things have been Made immeasurable heartbreaking stories Of the way it doesn't have to be We already know that’s not our destiny We have so much to learn But there is gratitude for what's progressing What is the Truth if not affirming That it is what it was meant to be See the hand sweeping across the sky In the love in a child’s eyes And the smile lines on your own face It’s all already happened There’s so much that we don’t know But we’re already shown how everyone is the same Been humbled by the presence Of those who already gave And determined within our heart to learn the honoring And I already know I’ve done what others did to me And we already know that we are infinite inside, where we are free To already know that we are learning from the time And I see myself, so small Another little bird in a giant world Who already heard the call of the ones who flew before us The ones who gave life their all To be true

And trust

That there is freedom

In the eternal for everyone

It’s true that I do too have my own song I can see And sing It was with me all along The further I go there is so much to learn The time goes on and I have to pray To live into the truth I sing and say

THE ANGEL SPEAKS


“Believe it or not, you’re doing great”

Sang the wind, through its angelic hymn

Breath of creation

The One who lives in every one, the power of love in the words on the wind of our hearts

The power of what sings the words of the way of the stars


“Where we are all going, it’s good and it’s kind

You can let yourself be small

I’ll take you wherever you’re needed

If you heed the call”


Right here in the moment the message becomes so clear,

I remember there is nothing to fear

With the One who brought me here

And then I’m able to believe

In what the angel says will be


"Believe if you want, there is a way"

Sang the mist glistening on the waves


Sent to take the doubt away

To comfort with the force of creation

The power of love in the earth, in our hearts, where we are

FROM THE OCEANSIDE

Seeds, tiny seeds

They learn to fall into the pierce of whispering breezes from the oceanside, hear

The wind

That is calling beyond time


Turn turn turn, on the edge of a gesture made by God in heaven

Toward the Earth, where they land

And Who truly understands

Me, tiny me

I learn to fall beyond the fear, and to keep on breathing from the oceanside

Hear the wind

It is calling beyond time
