Learn to Fly, Learn to Live Free, Learn to Love Again

I love this song by Mister Mister ‘Broken Wings’ (see beneath poem).  I feel many people will understand the lyrics of this song.  This is a song about love and the realisation of the ‘need’ for love.  But just imagine if there was no need in real love.  If there was true freedom, where the others freedom was what you love.  You have to sit with that, as traditionally love has been sung from the point of attraction of need.  Yet need is an emptiness, need is a gap, need is the belief that we need others, but what if – we don’t in truth.  What if we tapped into a universal love that gives us a sense of being ‘in love’ all the time.  That is the feeling I have most of the time.  Every now and then I believe I need love from outside myself, yet I am learning that I am the love I seek.

What if flying was allowing yourself to live the life to the fullest potential.  What if – we fall in love with life, we fall in love with possibility, we fall in love with ourselves?  What then?  Always when I was a child I knew people had potential but I felt it was never utilised, I felt we fell short in this setup called society, are we really enabling people to find that true potential?  What if – we have everything within us, and the challenge is to tap in to ourselves rather than reaching out into the cyber world or the physical world to grab for what we feel will fulfill our needs.  What if – we already have what we are looking for but the looking outside just distracts us from finding that truth and reinforces that there is something we lack?

The theme tonight is love but it is a universal love I am feeling for. It is endless and boundless.

I may write something to give it greater depth.  This is where love takes me…

LOVE NEVER ENDS

Love,

a pulse,

a finger print,

a DNA blueprint,

Returning home on the winter solstice!

What if love,

Is the alpha and the omega – the beginning and the end,

The all of everything,

The peace, the love, the truth and the joy,

What if love ….

Is the very breath you breathe?

Can you then see,

That love is life,

It is the sea that uplifts you,

Endlessly.

I feel the love of ages permeating the ether,

I feel it touch my heart like a white feather,

It is the garden that blooms under a carpet of snow,

It is the golden sunshine that streams in through my window,

It is the windmills of my mind always turning,

It laughs from the ridiculous and pauses to find the sublime!

As I look through this window I see the horizon of dreams in-kind,

For kindness is seeing the real world in between the lines,

And it is the finest wine that keeps me higher than a kite,

Intoxicated and smiling,

For I have renounced the fight to feel the ancient rites

reclaim happiness.

Love is the source that finds its way to the sea,

Love is the thermal that carries you as high as you wish to go,

Love is the music that moves you to dance with life,

Love is the friendship that rekindles the embers of hope in the moments of despair,

Love forgives all trespasses as only giving love moves through the eye of a needle,

As the camel lingers in the desert storm,

To find the norm is the eye of the storm,

To discover in stillness the peace of God,

which surpasses all understanding,

And this is the love that never ends,

It is a never ending story,

That finds the happy ending begins again!

Here is the wonderful song by Mister Mister – Broken Wings.  Perhaps you can allow your wings to open to life.  Love until it no longer hurts!
