My "Wairua"

The great doors opened

Upon his step
lay many souls

Gathered held and loved
within his
sweeping heart

Black coat hanging
upon
cemented erect shoulders
standing proud

His face of ashen love
a map of many hurts

yet placed to one side
for his way is to only
suck in your pain

and share his....

to enable you all
to accept
Love pain loss

A great light with that darkness
always silhouetted behind him

He will turn his head to you

He will give all
till nothing is left
dwelling within your soul

As one who gives all
shall know within

That beautiful darkened soul
Knows like me
The many roads we stumble

For he like me
will say

I am here
All is well

With spoken words
he expells

"All my grief
I have to bare"

"but tis only to help YOU here"

most steadily on Your way
You like me

No cross to bare

But to forever gather
those that seek

That need those gentle comforting words

This is my greeting to you, all the peoples of the world
This is my greeting of love to you all


Ko tenei te mihi atu ki a koutou katoa o te ao
Ko tenei te mihi aroha ki a koutou

About this poem:
Wairua, this is a part of me if not my whole of me....It is Maori for................."spirit, soul, quintessence - spirit of a person which exists beyond death".

My Wairua, lays deep within me...

soph...again...a word: amazement. can see your vision, though the vision in my eyes is another man in black, who fills these words as well. mirrors, different angles, still reflect truth.

heart smile! carry your Wairua within, always!

bloody brilliant, i say.

more love! hug
and always, more flowers! bouquet
