Roles we play

In all the roles you’ve set yourself too
Do you ever wonder what you do?
In work and play and even risk
Our life of roles will often kiss

Kiss and meet us to understand
Why we do what we do and plan
Are those roles attached to your past ?
Or are you wisely fulfilling your part ?

In something beyond the roles you’ve formed
Attached and believed, identified as your norm?
When emptiness of self prevails
Without a thought of olden ways

You’ll end that mould
And close those roles
Changed and moved beyond the veil
Of your old and stale illusionary tale

Identity no longer bares
The remnants of a life you snarred
But rather now, in this moment new
You become a greater view

Without identity formed from life
You no longer see yourself as a wife
No longer see yourself a teacher, right?
A boss a bully or even a judge
A father, leader, a broken thud!

Without this identity named,
Without attachments you still claim
You become an empty flame
A burning emblem of your broken mess
Eternally enriched by your own respect

So can you drop the person you are?
Believe in as you without any shards?
Without those remnants claimed as you?
Where you sit as nothing, through and through?

In this stillness, where no more your bound
A place emptied fully of contents abound
You’ll discover the roles you played
No longer serve the current way

The game of life begins anew
As you stand before the crew
They’ll look at you and wonder why
You look so happy, your authentic smile
Is so bright and clear and alive

They’ll give their reasons, they’ll weigh it up against
Something you’ve done are doing or spent
No one can ever truly know
If they haven’t been where you’ve flowed

Without the form labelled and bound
They will see you clear and maybe frown
How can this be, they might even ask?
Where is the person, they have known to last?

So in being you, standing tall, without attached to old day laws
You can smile and be as you’ve designed
Ended as the broken lines
No more those roles can make you weak
But stronger as the spirit seeks

everyone tries
to put
everyone else
into little boxes

so they can know how to relate

so if you want to relate
of course you have to buy a little box
to sit in
for a moment
or for a lifetime...

those of us
who don't like
sitting in the same little box
for long periods
just to relate

have a hard time
with long term relations...

but it does get lonely.

Falling leaves I enjoyed your reflections.

As the continuum of life flows and moves
I no longer hold on to my muse
As I see myself as all
I flow and move
Standing tall

Regardless of all right there
My presence presents
Without a care
But rather presence
As an emptied tank
Reflects from within
And I’ll always rank

Each and every soul right there
As my gift to grow and care
No need, no force
No desire to make
But simply be myself and create

Standing tall
All stand tall
As themselves
As their call

What remains inside of me
Is centred self
Strong and free
Look at my avatar
You’ll see me..��

Cool, thank you for the kind and timely reminder!



Blessings are not solely one's domain...
Without a birth and only a name...
For every branch upon the tree...
Speaks wisdom to all, for which is free.

Not a single one who walks alone,
Not a single soul alone in the song,
All as one and one as all,
Walk tall and freely to belong.

Many unique colours of the flame,
Dance to bring light into the frame,
For all of those who stand tall and free...
Remembering all the other branches upon the tree.
