Esteem

by Liam 

Esteem, is our quiet flame within,

It’s our souls beacon to the orchard of life

No worldly crown or fleeting prize

Can match this depth where worth resides.

It’s not forged by others’ gaze,

Nor born of fleeting, hollow praise.

But rises steady, soft, and true,

In the quiet work our hearts too do.

So honor true the light you share,

Your worth becomes the flame you bare.

It blunts the edges of your doubt,

Transforms the fear that keeps you out.

Esteem is not a thing you beg or borrow,

Nor the echo of your sorrow,

Take steps to grow, to rise, to fly,

For these dreams, open wide your eyes,

Nurture, care, your gift of worth,

The seed from which you grew at birth.

For only in its sacred fair,

Can your soul unfold and fully dare.

To be aware, to be aware.

Understanding Time

by Liam

The past is ground, rich with the echoe of who we were. It holds the quiet wisdom of our struggles and joys, the shaping of our souls through time’s gentle and fierce hands. In its light, we see the contours of our journey, the map that brought us to this threshold. Yet, to dwell too long is to risk becoming a shadow, caught in the weight of what has passed.

The future, like an horizon, calls to us with promise. It is the landscape of possibility, waiting to be awakened by our longing and the courage of our dreaming. But to lean too far into its uncertainty can untether us, leaving us adrift in a sea of uncertainty and endless “what-ifs.”

Real meaning is found in the liminal space, where the past and future meet in the presence of the now. This is the place where life truly unfolds, where our hands can shape today. The past blesses us with its wisdom, the future whispers an invitation, but the present is where we are called to live in the aliveness of each breath, each encounter, each fleeting moment of grace.

Here, in the weave of time, we are invited to live fully, to gather the beauty of what we have been and the hope of where we are going, and to weave them into the sacred garment of this one, precious life.

Molecularity

by Liam

Peace is an ocean, and conversation its river.

So, when looking for silence,

Leave the splash and bubble of the stream.

Step down to the seashore,

Breathe in…

It’s not the crunch of pebbles, nor the crash of waves;

It’s the molecularity that quietens me,

The salty mist that engulfs my imagination,

The unimaginably small particles of self-awareness

Condensing in my mind.

Creation…

A clear, shining drop awakens,

Clinging precariously to consciousness.

Within it swims the

Ocean we see;

Within it surges the ocean of me.

The Pilgrim’s Blessing

by Liam 

Once dust, now spirit,

Your breath is light, your essence free.

From the immortal place unknowingly,

You rise;

Now too, to taste eternity.

Once ignorant, now wise,

Your heart has learnt what eyes couldn’t see.

This journey of a thousand steps

Brings meaning to the mind in me.

Who ever led you through the dark,

Through storms that bent the strongest tree,

Will guide you further, step by step,

To find far shores of eternity.

Let joy become your steady flame,

And courage, your unfaltering guide.

For every twisting of your path

Leads life deeper into the wide, into the wide.

The tide of love, the tide of grace,

You walk through dusk with dawn in view.

Once dust, now spirit; once lost, now found

Reminds the pilgrim, we rise up on sacred ground.

The Light of Naserith

by Liam

Many the stars at night have been,

Yet on this night so bright was seen

A star, a stable, a manger small,

Which shone from Him down to us all.

The shepherds, kings, and those who hear—

A lamb was born from God on high.

A babe, in a manger, softly cried,

While Mary and Joseph, in awe, did sing

Songs of praise with angels’ wings

Upon heaven’s gate.

Rejoice with spheres of cosmic love—

A choir of angels from heaven above:

“He is born to all this day,

He will show mankind the way—

Of peace, of love, of humble faith.”

Let us open the gate of who we are,

Receive the gift from God’s Son afar.

Share this moment forevermore—

Let in the light; open your door.

On Love

by Liam

Love is not a fleeting feeling;

It is the wild, eternal pulse of being,

The secret lily that stirs the stars,

And whispers to the roots of the earth.

It carries the ache of our human heart,

Yet spills far beyond our individual stories,

A luminous striving force, both intimate and infinite,

Woven through all that breathes and becomes.

Love is the greatest alchemist,

Binding the fragments into wholeness,

Transforming wounds to thresholds we cross,

While stilling the restless ocean of the soul.

It is the river shaping the contours of my existence,

The tide rising toward my belonging,

Always forming, unfolding, creating 

A hymn sung in the language of becoming.

Yet love remains a mystery,

Vaster than our longing can fathom,

More generous than our grasp can hold.

It is, a truth too great for words,

Living in you, in me,

And in the unbroken oneness of us all.

Echo of Regret

by Liam 

I walk the path I walked before,

I walk the path I walk once more.

The same old stones, the same old trees,

The same old whispers on the breeze.

I chose, I chose, and now it stays,

The weight of nights, the cost of days.

A word unsaid, a step not taken,

A silence left, a bond forsaken.

It comes again, it comes to claim,

It calls my soul, it speaks my name.

I turn to right, but I forget

Regret, reflect, and still, regret.

The clock resets, the hour chimes,

I live the moment countless times.

I see the choice, I see it clear,

And yet I fail, year after year.

I walk the path I walked before,

I walk the path I’ll walk once more.

The circle turns, the echoes call,

Regret, regret, it holds us all.

Yet in the dark, a light is shown,

Redemption waits where seeds are thrown.

The Rise Within 

by Liam

You understand, you see me so clearly,

Though knowing, I’m not feeling:

The darkness, vast and unrelenting,

Its weight drawn inward, its chaos neigh.

Consumed, digested, and transformed by healing.

Then comes the light,

Gentle at first, like a dawning promise,

Then soaring,

a shimmering flight,

My soul is unbound in a new ascent,

Each moment seeds divine intent.

It is the smiling faces,

Yours radiant with hope, that welcome the turning,

The change, the challenge, the depth of becoming see.

Through dark’s consummation,

We gather these truths anew,

Weaving from the threads, a brighter Hugh.

Until I recognize 

It’s been here,

Quiet and patient, within me all along.

For every fall, the soul must rise,

Like dawns reclaiming sparkle in my eyes.

The Intelligence of Becoming

by Liam

Be who you are.

Let your presence rest gently in this world.

Don’t question why time drifts,

Or why rain falls heavy with sorrow.

It is your soul that spins with the flow of life,

Your mind that weaves its vast distances together.

In solitude, the mind fashions its own horizons,

Naming this fragile awareness “me.”

Yes, in that moment of recognition,

Reality is born,

Reflecting your heart’s secret garden.

Be tender with yourself,

For you are both potter and clay.

Be grateful; unfold in quiet radiance.

A flame will illuminate your way.

Laugh softly at your mistakes,

Knowing they, too, belong to your journey.

Failure is not an ending,

But a threshold,

An invitation to begin again,

And again…

Each attempt carving new pathways of thought,

Each step awakening a hidden grace.

You are what you dream.

You are what you believe.

You are what you dare to create.

Let these thoughts rise like a tide of possibilities,

Trusting in the deep intelligence of your own becoming.

On Love

by Liam

Love is also more than emotion,

The pulse within all that lives,

A flame to ignite the heart of being.

An oceanic breath, enfolding gives.

Love weaves the scattered into wholeness.

Heals the jagged edges of our days.

The silent architect of our becoming,

An unseen hand shaping all our ways.

It reveals itself in small gesture,

The courage found in forgiving shame,

The depth of a gaze where love compels you,

The warmth of touch that heals the pain.

Yet all we’ve named, all we’ve known of love,

Is but a glimpse of its infinite horizon.

All ever-present, ever-giving grace,

A mystery too great to be held by heaven.

Loves weaving, threads through time and space.
