Second Grade Sonnet

We come together to create and build,
Our classroom is the place where we meet
We love to fill our bellies with fruit, cookies,
Pizza, Pizza, Pizza and oh, so many yummy treats
We use our bodies to play sports
And like LeBron we jump, we score
We love to hear stories about chocolate,
Secret gardens, giant peaches and more
Oh, we love to dance and spin and jump
It make's us feel so free
We love to sing and shout fun phrases like,
"To be or not to be"
We are grateful for our friends,
They make us feel joy when we look in their eyes
We are always busy with questions and comments,
Though sometimes conflicts arise
We know we can always talk and work things out
There's never a need to shout or pout
We love our animals, we have chickens, 
Hamsters, dogs and cats, 
They are our very good friends
We have grand imaginations, we like to pretend,
That we are Christopher Marlo or
 Bill Murray or LeBron James
We love Niners and Seahawks, Seahawks, Seahawks!
Yeah! We just love games!
Please feel free to bring us ice cream,
Vanilla is just fine
It'll put a smile on our face
And make us feel divine
Sometimes we eat too much and 
It makes us feel a little gassy
But we just laugh, then go out and play and
We are happy lads and lassies
So come with us take a trip,
All aboard the Second Grade Train
Ms Johnson's our fearless engineer
She leads us to our fame

Pearl

                                                                        Pearl

                                   
                               across the river
                                   on the lost path
                                         she found the blues
                                               and made love last

                               lost herself inside the dream
                                     inside the genie never seen
                                          around each turn a song she sang
                                                    her heart poured out
         

                                             you knew her name

                                         we still sing for you
                                               sweet rose of dawn
                                                      your voice never dies
                                                             your love is never gone

peace,love and Janis....

I love you
grateful,
Jules

Begin Again

I see the girl I knew before
She's the woman, behind the door....
I see that girl, the one I left upon the shore,
She is dancing, there, across the floor...

Flying, crying, crying, why-ing
Trying, trying to
Begin again

Breathe till the end

Bathe in the love of a friend

I hear the girl who went away
She wants to come again, and stay...
I hear her humming(that same ole tune},
"I was led astray"...
I hear her dare her dreams
 "come out and play."..

Sighing, crying
Begin Again

Soon it will end

Begin again

Breathe in the love that never ends...

I am the girl who swam
In the Sea of Light...
Awash in the golden waves
Of pure delight...
I am the girl who drown
in the Sea of fright...
I am standing on the shore tonight...

I am ready now

Begin Again









peace and love,
Jules

Guidance -Real Eyes

It begins with a relaxing breath
 it comes through me 
with the ease of love
 the grand golden beam
 (of dreams and peace)
weaves through my crown
connecting me with source

The crown lifts
my hearts desire
to know truth

The revealing of fantasies
the love of all higher selves
into the golden light

I rise with Angelic winds
guiding me
I rise unto the blue
blue, true blue, sky

Below my soles
the pure white clouds
toss and tickle their purity
floating with them,
I am led home

I rise again,
Ascending, still
I find my smiling guides
awaiting my arrival,
with open arms

Ebony Blue joins me
we walk by the shore of stars
he leads me to my
Chrystal Palace

I question my path

my choices 
seem clear before me

(confusion lies below)

I enter the palace 
greeted by sweet Lauralie
she asks me to "look beyond the walls"

I see "The Dance"
I rush into the middle of the floor
I spin, I whirl, I swirl with joy
into the next room

Renewed, refreshed
my journey continues
I am guided by Athena's hand
into an amethyst chamber

I reflect on my peace

I am joined by more friends
comforted by the presence
of my sacred Gurus
sharing wisdom,
revealing everlasting truths

Yoga is the answer

The eternal Union
must remain in tact

The Yolk of Mind, Body and Spirit

The Triad of Love

The Miracle of Life 

The Answer of All

Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realize

Realize

Your Real Eyes
See Truth

My Real Eyes
See Peace

Our Real Eyes
See Love

Grateful for Divine Guidance

I love All I see

Blessed be all our journeys to Thee


peace,
Jules

Heart's Dance

Heart's Dance

Her Dream Dance longed to be unleashed
 Her need to see all confusion released

Thoughtful visions of self clearly seen
The arrival of ancient wisdom
Through women of modern power
 All Worlds flow together;
 light, kind and keen

The breath surges into the light
The Heart's dream begins to spire
 It's Dance of Love
 Climbing to the top of the pyre

Her deep beauty finally to be seen
Acceptance and desire together
Form her True Dream

Through the Goddesses
Grateful hands and Heart
Forever Souls, flying together
May they, pray they never part

Dance, Dance, Romance...

Romance is the dance of life
for me, it always seemed,
 to cause a lot of strife
so many men
so much time
until one day in may

that was the day that changed it all
but he was not just another
it was a real fall

i jumped in, and wondered
was it more than the others
i felt lifted up
after the years of too many beers
i was rising up
crawling out from 
under the haze of the past
through the daze that seemed to last and last

there were always so many emotions 
that usually led to too many drinks
and too many fights and too many tears

so here we go again,
i try to tell my real story
show you the real me
tell you all the tales of joy, sorrow and woe
all the deep dark tales hanging me way down low
but i tell myself
i shan't , i can't, i am no longer that she
i have risen and ascended to who i should be

I begin each day with grateful thoughts
instead of dread and fear

I see each moment as an opportunity to grow
change and be that girl
who dreamed of sharing her love of words
her passion for theater
her act melts away
 onto the stage behind the shadowy curtains

it is my time to step into my spotlight
to reach a bigger audience
to teach, to share, to grow 
and care for me  
it is my time to shine
 no more waiting on riches
 for they are already here
I am a star
always have been 
always will be
i have just been hiding 
behind male curtains
of shame and ego
it is now time that i let go

so here is a tale of a girl
who was impaled by
 deceit within families
 full of hidden addictions
religions and secrets

yet, through the times
 of loneliness and pain
we never left each others side
our love to strong to stop

so, who is this girl 
hidden in the words of 
a women's wisdom
holding the past
 like a guest, at gilded party,
  dressed in soot filled rags,
   ready to be booted to the curb
but still, keeping the dusty trails
within all the worry pails

I release her into the sea of love
her pails empty, ready to be filled again

Now, under the dreams of the past
I mire through the reality of my present
and I am grateful
for each smile from the girl that I birthed
for the son that always shines
for the riches that are always to be mine
today is the love
and together we shine
our tomorrow is forever
