When you say I paved the way For all that’s happening now The breath that courses into me And beats upon my brow Mistakes me for the one who recognizes All the gifts they’ve sown In heaven’s secret places, In my precious heart of stone
The seeds that fell upon the rubble Or the misty shoal Admit the past and seek to feed Its creases and its wolds But those that fell within the heart That looked so cold and bare Went troubling its cracks And took their humble roots in there
The stone cold circle rumbled As the roots were gathering brawn And suddenly a piercing cracking Ripped apart the dawn A river flowed where none had known It’s raging path before And I arose, a chalice held aloft With glowing core
The gifts that had been given Ever deigning to receive The fruits of many labours That had seemed to crush and wreathe That finally built a circle That could be seen and believed That mystified but never sought To chasten or recede
If you say I paved the way Your blessings I can feel If you acknowledge What I have denied, I know it’s real If you believe that I have given More than I could see Then I’ll believe you, as I begin to Believe in me
In gratitude for those who’ve walked this way before

There’ll always be poems for you The one who has held me, encouraged me through A myriad distractions, a myriad of days On paths that felt stony although they were paved With the certainty of those who’d walked them before And left in each footstep a beautiful star
There’ll always be poems for you The one who has stood still and shone your light through The darkest of terrors, the stormiest nights Your beam ever present and clear in its sight
There’ll always be poems, there’ll always be stars For those who have loved me while I fell apart And cradled my soul as I crashed to the floor And welcomed me, whole, as I rose, as I soared
There’ll always be poems of love in my heart For the brothers that know me beyond where I start For those who are centred, their clarity breathes The verdure of life in my heavenly leas
A corner’s been turned in the misty air’d fall I believe I feel life, I believe I see dawn Up ahead breaking into the heart that has learned Finally to give away all it earns
There’ll always be poems for you In beauty and power and infinite truth They well up inside me and break their way through All troubles are quenched as their river runs true
Yours are the hearts that have shown me the way Intrinsically fearless as love takes its place In the mind that was hoping but couldn’t be sure Now your light is my clarity, happiness, law
There’ll always be poems and deep gratitude For the ones who have voyaged before me to truth Who’ve conquered their demons and wrested their scars From the jaws of the tempters and lifted their hearts
To the ones who’ll devour them until you stand Vulnerable. Beating, it rests in your hand Peaceable, strong, in the knowledge so clear That the only thing left to attack you is fear
They’ve stood at the altar and laid themselves down And discovered the sword was dismissed with the crown They’ve torn down their statues again and again Stepped into the fire of the purging of men
There’ll always be poems, there’ll always be songs For the ones who’ve discovered as they marched along In the discipline of their surrendering minds The peace that surpasses the self they’ve declined
There’ll always be poems for all that you are As evolved revolutions of wakening hearts Are roused at their centre, welcomed and hugged The poems that flow through for you are my love
“And left in each footstep a beautiful star” — This is an idea taken from the Course.
“His step is light, and as he lifts his foot to stride ahead a star is left behind, to point the way to those who follow him.“

Stop looking with your eyes Start feeling through your heart And life will arise in your sight Stop thinking with your mind Start feeling with your heart And pain will dissolve in your light
Do you realise you’re the one who lifts sadness from them all? Do you understand it is done, we’re just watching darkness fall? Can you leave behind what is gone, and open to what is shown? ‘Cause if you can, if you can, and if you will, then you’re ready for it all
Stop listening with your ears Start breathing through your heart And the mists of time will divide Stop listening to your thoughts Sink down into your heart And the breath of life will decide
Do you realise you’re the one who gives credence to it all? As you release your mind, the whole thing will fall Can you look beyond to what’s true, and open to what is now? ’Cause if you can, if you can, and if you will, then you’re ready for it all
Your answer is always some form of peace And I am alone again Chaos relieved and released A shambles of stories, beliefs Infinitely familiar Removed and uprooted, like brambles Cut back and displaced Erased, eradicated, reduced to nothing Lifted, risen, raised Above the battlefield again My mind is gentle You are here with me in love Angel of simplicity You are love All thoughts about things Eradicated, simplified, released There is nothing in my determination to be in conflict I choose peace You are with me and I have nothing else to choose I am still now Mind bent yesterday on defamation Of everything peaceful and clear Now you are with me I return into the simplicity of your love for me I return into the clarity of my total responsibility I return into the gentleness of my invulnerability I am released And you are here with me. Thank you Your answer is always some form of Peace
God’s Answer Is Some Form Of Peace. All Pain Is Healed; All Misery Replaced With Joy. All Prison Doors Are Opened And All Sin Is Understood As Merely A Mistake.
Standing or sitting still And waiting For the energetic release that empties you of everything That empties you of the world That shows you the world is nothing That empties you of you That shows you you are the world That shows you you are nothing
Forgiveness is Releasing everythingre
No specifics exist For you to hold onto
Forgiveness is holy, non-specific Whole mind, wholly, non-locality Experienced in mind and body Felt as resurrecting cells
This is a physical resurrection Your awakening to wholeness You ARE a body If not, why do you need the lesson: “I am not a body, I am free?” But that you believe that you are bodily, Physical, limited, contained
Forgiveness is The release of location to non-locality You, literally, disappearing
So does the world really disappear? It already did In one holy instant of forgiveness
You discover you are nothing God is everything And you are God
