Creative Meditations: Week three

Here’s the collective group poem for week three

Belonging, Knowing and the Unknown

Moving always moving, but

Slower now.

Opening and ready to receive.

Waking up

Falling asleep

Waking up

Falling asleep.

The magic of the trees, the sea, the sky

Just there.

When I uncover these veils Who else may arise?

The mother, the father, the son?

The Holy Spirit, the Wanderer, the Warrior?

I see these lines and lashes

That whisper and touch

Belonging, Knowing and the Unknown.

Creative Meditations: Week One

Over the past three or so weeks I have been offering a space for others to meet write, sing and dance together, here’s the first weeks group poem:

Love’s gathering

I am softening from the hard world

Tender from its demands and constant asking of me

Things I love and things I must do tangle like vines and I

Cannot separate the two.

Life can be simple if it is allowed to be

A place of magic

To stop

To be restored

How many kind, fully hearted Beings

Walk soft foot along this path

Unseen, yet fully seen By Love

A collective poem that emerged within the ten minute ‘in the moment’ writing by those attending Creative Meditations on Feb 13 2025.

And I whisper softly

And I whisper softly

You’re welcome

Breathe lightly to transform please

This human heart flesh, breath and bone

Show me a way beyond whats my way

And within these times unfold

Fresh pathways through lifes mysteries

And guide this spirit home

Yahweh come.





For I am scrolling more, engaging less

Consuming by the score

While refusing to digest,

I see anothers flaws

And ignore the consequences of my choices





You’re welcome

Roll back my stone

Remake a home within me

Yahweh come

Whisper again

On winds of change restore me





For I whisper softly you’re welcome

Upon wings of change restore me

As inch by inch I move along

Sweet Love please rush towards me.

And within Your grace unfurl

Fresh pathways through lifes mysteries

And guide this spirit home

Yahweh come.





The more harm I do, the less calm I get

Wading through life’s courses

Immersed in living, I forget

How deep and wide your voice is.





You’re welcome

Make me your song

Refresh and breathe within me

Yahweh come

Make me your home

With love filled hope complete me

My livin'
Forgiven
Yahweh come.

Unbidden
Unhidden
Yahweh has come

Before I whisper softly,

Yahweh comes.

Ya Zahir

Ya Muqaddim

Ya Batin

Ya Mawjud

Ya Zahir

step by step

always Now and ever Been

knocking from the inside

for the One unseen

wave upon wave

form to crest to be unseen

Manifesting dissolution

In the union of Being
