Bearing witness to the light beyond the dream

The sun blazing out on the horizon above trees on a gently sloping hill, opening up into a gloriously blue sky — *_{Photo by Holly Rose Thomas | The author retains all rights and permissions for the use of this image}*

I know how to do it
It’s the simplest thing I’ve learned
To set you free from your misery
To witness you rise and turn

I know how to do it
It’s the simplest thing I know
To watch you free, in the heart of peace
Your roots reaching down as you grow

I know how to find you
In your happiest place of cheer
Alive with hope, descending the stopes
Of a lifetime forgiven and dear

I know how to meet you
Happy, alive and free
Released from the past, the heavens at last
Joyfully opening

I know how to free you
And how to see you now
It’s the simplest thing I could ever bring
To the moment I fully allow

I know how to witness
Your perfect liberty
I can see in my mind, pure present and kind
Your gentle majesty

I know how to be present
With the truth that lives in you
I see through the veil, torn, rented, assailed
To the light that’s shining through

I know how to love you
Wholly, impeccably
It’s the only way I can love what I made
If I see it as part of me

I know how to love you
The only way is to see
The shining light that clarifies sight
Beyond the dark body

The only way to know you
The only way to find
The love that you are in my deepest of hearts
Is to see you in light in my mind

I know how to do it
I know how to be free
I’ve witnessed the truth of His gentle ruth
In the light I know as me

I know how to do it
In happiness I’m home
I witness your light in His perfect sight
And totality is my throne

I Entered In

The gifts that greet the grateful soul

Pink centred sun, womb, fire, abstract beauty — *_{Author image, thanks to NightCafe AI}*

I entered in the womb of God
It was your body, opened wide
From base to crown an opening of light
Arose before my eyes

It beckoned me to enter in
And taste the pleasures of the soul
And feel the glorious pressure
Of the mind becoming whole

I entered in the womb of God
And at your heart that opened wide
A blessing to consume me
As I stripped to bare and dived

A flow, innate, of gratitude
Did humble me wherein I knew
The love of God surrounding me:
Synonymous with you

The walls were lush and turgid
As between them I did glide
Ever moving inward to the
Sacred space inside

A space where I am nourished
To the essence of my core
A comfort of such density
Aliveness, gentle warmth

The walls they hold me centred
Their pressure meets my need
For comfort and security
My everlasting greed

Insatiable desire
To be held, to feel at home
To lie and rest in certainty
That I am not alone

I feel the grateful rhythms
Of a heart that’s guiding true
Every mind that comes to him
For comfort and for ruth

I rest within a body
That body is your mind
I have a cord that feeds me
Without forage or find

I rest within your gentleness
Your peace is all I know
I rest within your certainty
Within your peace I grow

I enter in your kingdom
To rest a while from form
Till I’m released from density
Then from this place I’m born

Something Real

In gratitude for truly authentic expression

If you say something real
It can’t not be received
If you say something
That within their own hearts they can feel

If you say something true
Something that feels alive
Beating deep within your heart
Or bubbling up inside

If you say something you can feel
Within your very cells
There’s nothing else that they can do
But feel it there as well

I can feel your words
Within my beating heart
I can feel the burning
Of your thoughts inside my hearth

I can feel the silkening
Of your gently tumbling hair
As you fall into the spirit’s
Wholly death defying stare

As you stand alone
Within the worlds that you have made
Raging at the forces
You believe can hold you staid

I can see your mind
As it’s lashing out in pain
I’m sorry for the winding pathways
Harrowing again

I would love to speak to you
As we in heaven do
Standing at the end of time
Each other’s dearest view

The chasm it is cursed
As it tears your plans in two
The teeth are gnashing wildly
As they are wont to do

The peace of being true
To the self that sings the soul
The force that clears the flotsam
From the mind that ousts the storm

Is wholly to be felt
And wholly to be known
And wholly to be cherished
As you step in from the cold

So next time you say something true
I’ll hear you from afar
And answer you from closer than
Your gently beating heart

Dear John

Lyrics and video for one of my songs

Blue sky above the cloud line with the earth far below. — *_{Author photo | All rights and permissions reserved}*

Dear John
By which I mean the planet I’ve been living on
For so long
Dear John

Dear John
By which I mean the fear that has been so strong
In my mind
So long

Dear John
By which I mean the planet I’ve been living on
For so long
So long

Dear John
By which I mean the body I’ve been speaking from
The idea in my mind that kept my fear strong
So strong
So long

Dear John
By which I mean the planet I’ve been living on
The beings I’ve shared ideas of identity through physicality
With for so long
So long

If you look at me quantumly you’ll see I’m gone
Was never here
I’m gone

The love we’ve shared in truth is all that’s still strong
Ideas of physicality are long gone
Long gone
Dear John

And I’ve come here to share a new idea so strong in me
It’s so strong
To tell you if you’re fearful or you’re lonely
That it won’t be long

I’ve come to share my certainty that truth is all that’s left of me
That I was wrong
I’ve come to share my certainty that we were only ever free
To love and loose the bounds of time
From all that we had thought we’d seen
Dear John, dear John

And now we dance forever to the songs we wrote together in eternity
We’re free, dear John
Dear John, we’re free
Dear John

Dear John
If you look through the eyes that can see quantumly
You’ll see, we’re gone
With love, Dear John

The Silent Heartbeat

March 23, 2023September 23, 2025Leave a comment

A walk in the wild woods reminds me of home

Sunshine pouring through the dense trees of an ancient forest — *_{Author image, thanks to NightCafe AI Art Generator}*

There is a spirit within all things
That speaks to the mind open and alive
Listen for the silent heartbeat of the wildest, truest friend
There is a wisdom that connects beyond all form
Expressing universality, oneness, clarity
Expanding, dismissing what was previously reason
Tittle tattle dropped to forest floor, trodden under sole and passed away
Ease of living, unquestionable, obvious
Decisions shown through lightness, darkness, doors open or closed
Seen clearly in the hallways of the mind
Clarity cuts through impossibility
Gives me to its presence, gratefully encompassing the whole

I am grateful, my deepest love, that I have now heard your call
Spoken through all things natural and alive
I am here now, I am open, I receive you
Let your loving wisdom be the rhythm of my day and night
Bringing me, each instant, to the perfect timelessness of now
Your sanctity and peace become the only pathway that my mind remembers
The natural world: no more or less of matter to its form
But simply less obstruction to the truth that lies beyond
No complicated mind imposed to stand between itself
And the intrinsic perfection of its present reality
You who know your perfect wholeness,
Teach me how to know myself as you

Ready

Lyrics and live video of one of my songs

Abstract image, bright red, greys and blue, full moon, water, red heart with mountains and moody sky beyond — *_{Author image, thanks to NightCafe AI Art Generator}*

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

The Veil

March 10, 2023September 23, 2025Leave a comment

That perfect moment in the depths of the full moon when you realise that everything is alive

A startlingly beautiful, powerful full moon behind a half mist-soaked mountain, reflecting in glistening water — *_{Author image, thanks to NightCafe AI Art Generator}*

Times when the veil is thin
And all of life breaks open within
The light in the sky is a thunderous din
As she wakes me from slumber to welcome her in

All is wild and alive
The attributes of an opening mind
The raining of stars in a heart that’s revived
From deep tender longing to finally arrive

Solid, beating, tranquil, true
Right in the centre that forms the root
From which the highest certainty rules
Directing the mind that inherently values

Her pulsing, gentle, articulate beat
The accompanying tide at her moonlit feet
That gives and receives through her rhythmic, sweet
Impossibly powerful, full, mystique

The heart of heaven is felt within
Her rising, beautiful, star-filled brim
Expanding as the enchanted sing
The angels’ chorus, enlightened, begins

I wake and feel the thinning veil
Rent and ripped in tatters and tails
Spinning useless upon the gales
Of an open mind, released from its trails

I wake and feel the parted seams
Releasing me to beyond my dreams
As the wildest gentlest shining gleams
Reflect within my heart as it beams

The Lion’s Heart

December 28, 2022September 23, 2025Leave a comment

As the sky splits open to reveal your soul

You are the light that burns in me
The lantern blazing through the dream
You are the peace humility
Can recognise and rest within

You are the great expansive mind
That wreaks a wildish havoc home
Unravelling the dearth of time
And glistening upon the throne

That opens as I gaze upon
The beauty that is not your realm
But feels as though it’s splitting to
Succumb to that which lies beyond

You are the peace that pulls me
To the deepest place within my heart
That opens me to caverns
Where I hid the painful, searing, dark

You are the fire that burns within
That draws me to your fireside
The ocean that I dive within
To find the things I’d hoped to hide

You purify the restless cawing
Cackling realms of graceless hell
And raise them up through tundras
To the sunshine on the shining swell

And as the sky with stars of gold
Decrees your shining constant light
Splits open to reveal your soul
I am beheld with blessed sight

And in your wholly loving gaze
I stand redeemed, re-graced, untamed
But gentle in your presence
As the lion’s heart regained

I stand within your wholeness
And I love what you have done
I am forever blessed in you
Your holy light, your son
