I dedicate this book to
The Spiritual Aspect of Life
POET’S RECIPE
I would like to lovingly thank Alison, my muse, whose essence inspired me to access the literary libraries of poetic potential available from within the annals of the Great Unconscious, and so meld these words together in
the matrimonial metre of spiritually positive verse which ushers forth in this anthology. Then, with the tentacles of Karma removing this Divinely convened connection, my fellow spiritual siblings have assisted me in
continuing on to the completion of ‘Poems Of The Second Coming’.
Dorothy, Vicki, Heather and numerous others have been paramount in my journey’s application, and then Mandy and Renae have kneaded the final layer to this consciousness cake, whilst Marion has added the icing by
arranging these words precisely in format for presentation for publishing.
I also wish to qualify that the God to whom I refer in my words, is the Creator, the All That Is, the Source, and not the contrived to control God of those who wish to manipulate, and so steer humanity into the materialistic mire of possession via the ‘third dimensional family religions’ encrusted in political dogma.
And then to my family, great gratitude and love, for without whom I would not be. To my sister Jodie, for completing this final arrangement. As well, my many thanks to Kim Aitken for her inspired art work which has
embraced the essence of what these words entail, thereby appropriately portraying picture to paper and enhancing the spiritual theme of my work. Also, I would like to thank my sister Julianne for co-ordinating all.

One’s lives on this Earth are many and varied
As we climb toward our highest knowing
While time flows by in eternal existence
Are we always unconsciously ever growing.
To rise above the plane of material wealth
Washed with emotions of avarice and yearning
Must surely be this journey we have entered upon
Unconditional Love born of sharing and caring.
In each little universe within Nature’s realm
May we see if we open our eyes
All that we are here truly striving for
Divine Oneness under ever expanding skies.
The answers are written in Earthly faces
For us to read beyond the facade we blindly see
And finally connect with that ultimate wisdom
Of just who we are and what we are meant to be.
Why do human words echo hollow meaning
To a lifetime of persistence, left alone,
‘Cause karmic control duly leads to the edge
Of infatuation stricken emotions, unbeknown.
In a world yet obscured by the arms of a Lover
From incarnations where one’s been hurt to the core
Just sail on carefully amidst these rapids of life
Allow Divine Hands to guide you safely to your shore.
Could a muse once alluded to, be the soul’s connection
With reality, and existence one’s reserved
Though seem’ly hidden by desire in this physical age
Remove the shades to reveal the purpose you serve.
Come cradle your craft and prepare for explosion
As abundance Divinely showers the Earth
Now by giving one’s away to help those in need
Shall we cycle through Gardens of Eden and birth.
Though the road may be rough and the journey ever long
Just listen and you’ll know your path to take
‘Cause on this chosen trek to remembering
Shall we climb, and duly find our Pearly Gate.
The carousel keeps on spinning in this fantasy parade
As time again we are born to learn
While illusion keeps its’ hold on our daily existence
Are we steered from making that enlightened turn.
Yet still caught in the glamour of fame and fortune
Supreme tests that we may, or perhaps not, accept
Now down this road might we discover the remains
Of ourselves, from time’s past, we forget.
So unite my brothers, unite my sisters
For we are each kindred spirits at heart
In the ultimate, universal scheme of being
Are we all born of that One Divine Spark.
When the world falls down all around you
And your being feels hollow inside
Just listening to your heart with its’ letters
Will the sacred self know where to reside.
If one sings in duet on this journey
But the words to the tune are not there
Then heed your wisest intuition
To find the rhyme that allows your harmony, repair.
Now search your soul ever deeply
For it’s the map that shows you your way
When the ups and downs all join together
Will the choice become clear where to stay.
The answers, with wisdom, are waiting
In berths along the endless wall
Once you realise this feeling is unconditional
The knowing is in the heart, to call.
Understand, if you will, your life’s destiny
‘Cause it’s written in the pages of time
For the Divine Creator has duly delivered to us
All the answers, on our sacred journey, to unwind.
Now the lessons, by design, will unfold for you
And with wisdom you’ll be shown the way
So listen to the messages that by chance seem sent
Then hear what your inner knowing has to say.
Each energy, incarnate, in our God’s creation
Has the knowledge of who they are meant to be
But while caught and taught by material reins
Will we struggle, unfulfilled, to be free.
Must we choose it all again like we’ve done before
Since here, many simply nurture the abyss
Though others, more enlightened by the road revealed
Walk their path, Divinely bathed, in bliss.
In our growth to salvation on Life’s journey
And to be blessed with sacred meaning inside
Must we rise above our mortal undertakings
To live as the Godself resides.
Now we draw to us trials and tribulations
For this pathway is no other’s but our own
All the joys and grief that we ask for
Are the tests which enable us to return home.
The Garden of Eden awaits in silence
Amidst mortal frenzies to question but endure
Now if one looks within the answers will be shown to us
If they flow from a heart that is pure.
Only Divine Wisdom applied to Life’s situations met
Shall stand firm against karmic retribution
As this facade to which the physical is bound
Is nought but a world of illusion.
So listen to the words which speak to you
Universal truth is born of the Sun
Once we’re aware, in our knowing, Love enfolds us
Will we finally come together as one.
From out of the past and in the present we know
Have we been drawn together to enhance our healing flow
Over many lifetimes have our spirits combined
Giving souls, so closely tuned, a special glow
As we feel this Divine connection mould the focus to within
Then arrive at the gateway God has given to us all
For the answers are the fruit of a fertile knowing
From each seed, Divinely planted, to recall
Now reap the reward as the harvest is presented
To the mind yet unconditioned by mortal man
So to reach our primal goal of prophetic understanding
Must we gather and release each burden as we can
And then to freely share together in a peace-found Paradise
Is to finally know that we are One in God’s plan.
From out of the ashes of complete decimation
Is the phoenix now rising for you
Though the one road’s been less travelled since the recording of time
Shall illusion now make way for what is true.
In lower realms have th’ tests been applied for many
To move beyond where we need not have been
Now as the Phoenix clears the screen of Life’s misperceptions
Might we experience what we may have already seen.
So Divine direction is the Phoenix in mortal clothing
Just take heed when your path to you is shown
For all the Earthly lures of self majesty
Are but reminders we’ve forgotten what we’ve always known.
Then rise with the Phoenix, the world is waiting
Yet the answers have been hidden, from birth
Just tear down this facade we’ve been lingering through
And open the door to higher dimensions of Earth.
KARMA: YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM YOURSELF
Know your actions on this journey cannot escape you
For all lifetimes will you be held to recount
All the deeds you have shown no care to own
But the Divine still holds your soul to account
As the Universe will always wield the wisdom
That makes you aware of the ultimate price
Of action ‘n’ reaction you cannot hide from
‘Til the time when you finally realise
This life holds your all to ransom
There is no escape from the deals you have dealt
Just wear all the words you have spoken
And kneel beside where your emotions have been felt
Then the Creator
Shall always see you through eyes which are of the Sun
So no more can you hide from the knowing inside,
that All is eternally One.
Oh Lord clear this debris from around me
Then sever all the lingering ties
From this facade the ego has so lovingly built
To keep me prisoner in my own demise.
Please awaken me God and trigger your knowledge
That I might understand what I am meant to know
After these hardships in Paradise is there truly a way
