A Lover of Life
I speak Love
My thoughts are filled with Love
My deeds and actions pour out of me with Love
My body is filled with Love
I share my Love around generously and receives Love gratefully
I am a Sensual Lover
A Romantic Lover
A Primal Lover
I am not afraid of Love as my Heart has been cracked open to Love
I tend the garden of Love and feed the Universe with Love
I am a Lover of People, of Children, of Animals and of Nature
I know that in the end there is only Love

My Heart is Cracked Open

Sensitive being
I feel empathy
More than most
My eyes only a blink away from waterfalls
My heart only a beat away from breaking
Why does it hurt so very much?

On the cusp of a new age
There must be an awakening
An awakening of hearts
An awakening of minds
An awakening of souls

How does it begin?
It begins when the hearts of empathy are cracked open to reveal the compassion, the kindness and the love that is the truth
It begins when the passions of those hearts start to reveal themselves in all of their glory
It begins when those souls can see the difference in a broken heart and a heart that is cracked open to know truth, feel truth and see truth

When I can know anger and yet know non-judgment
When I can know heartache and yet still pour out my love
When I can know that perfection works in its own time and still not rush
When I can know my primal self and recognize that it is as savage as my heart will allow it to be
When I can know her mind and still forgive myself those thoughts not as full of love as I would like

My Heart is Cracked Open
And yet I still do not have all of the answers
I put all of my trust in the beauty of the Unknown
The paradox of life that I have been entrusted with
Giving me all of myself to control
And opening up my cracked heart to allow me to accept all that I cannot control

Surrender
Devotion
Beauty
Awe

It doesn’t stop the heart from hurting
It doesn’t stop the pain
What it does is beat a little stronger
A Cracked Open Heart is a little bit braver
A little bit fiercer
A little bit stronger
Than it was

My Heart is Cracked Open
I shall not be afraid
Be free to beat to the rhythm
Be free to open up to the unknown
Be free to change your own dance to step into your light

Feel into your heart
Is it your pain that you feel
Or the pain of your ancestors
The pain of the earth
The pain of the stars looking down on our global beauty

Together with Our Hearts Cracked Open
We beat the drum that will not stop
Until the only sound it makes
Is the song of Peace
The song of Oneness
The song of Unity
And beats with the Heart of the Earth
In time
Forever

Unique in her relentless positivity
Relentless in her search to find solutions
Her quest the result of the many challenges she had faced
And the knowledge that there had to be a better way

So she searched her soul
She researched the way things were
And was unable to find the perfect place to align with her purpose

So many rules she could not adhere to
Supposed fair and equal rules
But as she looked a little deeper
She found the faults that made the rich, richer
The powerful, more powerful
The greedy, more greedy
The evil, so despicable it made her catch her breath in shock

Years and years of searching
Searching for the meaning of her life
Searching for place in society
Where she would fit just like a glove

Naive in her unwavering quest she
Would stick to her promise to make the world a better place
She searched throughout history to find what worked
What had been buried to control the masses

She used her empathy to walk in the shoes of a leader
She used her kindness to devise solutions
She used her compassion, always

When she was finished, she took her plan to save the world to those who would listen
And they did
And they were kind
When they saw her plans to make sure that each and every soul had purpose
Loved what they did
And became the best at their chosen profession and then came together in small circles of community to make the world a better place
They could not doubt her methodology
Her enthusiasm, her business model
Nor her plans
They were kind when they said that her plans were solid,
Her business model enviable

And yet they knew that the people were not ready
They needed more of what she had
That had to be first
She needed to package her elixir in words the world would understand
She could see in their eyes
“Bless her”
Go home and write a book they said
So she did

The truth, you see
Is that she was ahead of her time
She looked to a beautiful future and would never acquiesce to anything other than an abundant world for all

So she wrote and she wrote
The words became for women
The power was for them
The truth was she could almost touch the future
Tingling sensations whenever the words poured forth from her space of flow
Her rhythm could not be surpassed

She could not stop
She wrote the self-love, self-discovery and reinvention
She wrote the practice of healing and rewriting ones life script with a purpose design
She wrote the empowerment
She wrote the leadership
She wrote for the rebels just like her

Women who knew, just knew
That they were born for more
Women who were prepared to take up their arms of purpose and sprinkle them on the world
Women who would be confident, spiritual, financially independent
No matter what
Women who walked into a room
And their presence magnetic
She would rise
And her elixir would permeate the air
Like a drug making those present want what she had
No branding necessary, SHE WAS THE PRIZE
Like the pied piper they would follow
Unable to place what it was about her
So the future was written
SHEISTHEFUTURE

They gathered in circle
They were from all corners of the earth
A force to be reckoned with
Unapologetic
Relentless in their quest for abundance and a better world
They rewrote history
The rebel women tribe
And they rose

Are you one of them?

Queens cannot wait
Any longer
Any more
The time to rise is now

As unready as she is
She must be strong
Brave, invincible
For it is her time

She is nervous
Scared and shaky
But she knows that if she does nothing
Then she will fall through the cracks
And disappear, never sharing her gifts
And she cannot live with that

Her life has meaning
Her sisters lives have meaning
Together they can rewrite history
They can make the world a better place

As she sits with her message that she wants to share
Her hands shake
Does anyone want hold her hand?
Or will she be alone on her quest?

She does not know
And realises that if she does not ask
She will never know

And her gifts will be lost
She believes that there is a golden thread
Weaving through the hearts of women
Around the globe
The hearts that are aching
With gifts of love and kindness

Heaving and ready to be born
Into reality
To create a legacy
Of abundance, warmth, compassion and empathy

Individually they rise, adorned with crowns of hope and confidence
These queens know that they were born for this moment

Together, they will show others a new way

And so they join hands
Shaking, their rebellion palpable
They will
Teach others
Self-love
Healing
Empowerment
And a new era of leadership

So she straightens her crown
And gets to work
For She Is Our Future

She found a space
A space of calm
Of presence
Of beauty
And it was hers
To own
As long as she let it

She had to hold it
Remember it
Keep that feeling alive
Deep within
To own
As long as she needed it

That feeling so comfortable
That she could move mountains
With love in her heart
And peace in her mind

Surrendering to what is
What may be and what has been
Faithful that the calm will soothe her soul
And remind her that she can only do what she can do

That is her purpose
As long as she has tried
Done her best every day
She trusts the calm that comes with decision
To do, or not to do

Remember the calm
Hold onto the calm
And she will move mountains

Do you know how important you are?
To this world
To this time
To me?

That feeling you’re feeling
The pain deep inside
Is not to restrain you
Or to make you hide

It is a calling
A strength not yet known
Empathy waiting
For this world to show

That there is an answer
To put all wrongs right
And it isn’t with anger
It isn’t with fight
 

It’s in finding solutions
Compassionate, kind
And for that to take hold
We need you to find

Your truth , what you stand for
And to lead the way
To know how much you’re valued
We need you, please stay

My war paint running down my face
Mascara mixed with the saltiness of my tears as I watch the world around me crumble
I won’t surrender
Yet I know that I must rest

Energy is drained from my limbs as my soul is crushed with heaviness of what I have endured
I am weak
I will not surrender
I know that I must rest

I am silenced by the numbness in my head
Unable to connect with emotions
Keeping me safe
Whilst I rebuild
I cannot surrender
But I have to get some rest

I cannot fight a battle from an empty spirit
I cannot win a war without the artillery of a warriors heart
I cannot save the broken being only a shell of the bullet I know I shall become once again
So although I won’t surrender
I shall rest

Let others carry burdens whilst I lie here
And whilst I do recover, gain respite
I trust that when you need a little self love
And some pause time
You’ll not surrender
You’ll only take the time to rest

Why is life so unfair?
She thought when she was small
The others get their house painted
And what they want they get it all

Why are my parents so unfair?
They’re taking me abroad
A better life they say to us
I think they’re just so cruel

Why is life so unfair?
And scary too at times
She got quite cross and made a fuss
She cried and she did whine

And then she grew a little bit
She started looking ‘round
Why are they not wearing shoes
And begging on the ground

She started to think differently
About all that she had
And over time she changed her mind
And regretfully felt bad

She noticed the discrepancies
Disparity and greed
And wondered what on earth went wrong
So many mouths to feed

She thought about the little ways
That she could make a difference
And realised that she had more
And how much she was privileged

Although she did not have a lot
Her gratitude shone through
And as she got older she thought about
The things that she could do

Along the way she honed her skills
Her talents she did practice
So when opportunities arrived
She was ready to take action

She shared her passions with the world
The best that she could do
And gave as much as anyone
Who wanted to do good too

There was a balance she did not see
Or take much notice of
But when she shared her gifts with love
She fulfilled and happy was

And then she grew some more and found
Her world came crashing down
She felt like she had lost her mind
Desperation all around

She wallowed for a little while
Until death came calling close
With a shock, she knew again
That she had more than most

At that moment, at that time
She made a promise, vow, decree
That if she made it through and lived
She’d give herself to find a way

To make the world a better place
To make the whole world see
That there was a different way
To have, to share, to be

She searched until she found herself
Full up and ready give
Her purpose she did find that day
A wonderful way to live

And as her happy reappeared
She wished the people know
That there is no need for privilege
If you find your purpose road

So if you are one of the ones
Who have the means, ability
To find your purpose, find your way
Make it your priority

For there are those who are without
Their differences are seen
Unfortunate but not enough
For them worthy be

And yet if you are kind of heart
You know that this is not true
You can do your bit of work
Let your privilege purpose through

Then, if there’s enough of us
To rise and make the change
That minding our own purpose helped
Privilege will never be the same
