Finding my Humanity 

By Liam

To be human is to carry both light and shadow,

to walk the trembling bridge between longing for and belonging to,

to listen to the hush of the soul’s sensitive river

as it constantly calls you home to yourself.

You are not here by accident.

You were dreamt into being

by a love ancient and unbroken,

a whisper woven into the great silence of the universe

before the first dawn unfolded.

Within you, is the ache of wonder,

Is the tender sorrow of passing time,

Is the pulse of joy rising unexpected

like birdsong after spring rain.

Do not rush this becoming.

Let the unseen hands of grace shape you,

let your losses soften into wisdom,

let love carve its name upon your days and nights.

For to be human is to be broken and to heal,

to stumble and to rise,

to search for meaning in these quiet hours

and find, in the end,

that you were held all along

By Love.

When I Wait

by Liam

When I wait

The dawn will turn to day,

Suspicion will go away,

You will be here to stay.

When I wait

The rose will share its scent,

The snow will begin to melt,

You will feel what I have felt.

When I wait

Your moments, will pass,

So too our memories of the past,

You will lose your mask.

When I wait

The sails will fill the sea,

All time will go still in me,

You will feel truth and see.

When I wait

Your silence will awake,

Your soul will in you shake,

Your love will in me take.

When I wait

The night, too, turns to light,

Our hearts for to unite.

Become stars burning bright.

The Light We Speak

by Liam 

In the shade of wisdom, we find peace,

A refuge from the noise of the mundane day.

This voice—a balm that makes our worries cease.

And in its silence, life is not the same.

For in this quietude we encounter grace,

A gift within that fills us with wonder,

Whose silent words help us find a holy place,

Where truth and beauty call amidst the thunder.

Oh, let these words be spoken loud and clear,

So all may hear the message that they bear,

And resonate in their sweetest sphere,

Your heart be moved to seek the truth—and dare

Embrace the light that shines from deep within.

….So invite your words, ignite your soul—and win.

Mystery of Love

by Liam 

I call not, yet love still finds me,

not like thunder, nor lightning,

but as a rising tide that knew my name

long before your lips had shaped it.

With no map in hand, nor lamp to lift,

no track to trace through maze or stone,

I wait in quiet, as days unfold—

and patience calls.

But love rewards—unbidden, watch—

green the ivy through an opening crack,

golden morn spilling amongst the hills,

when I thought not to see the sky.

Day cried.

Might I have sought, it surely fled,

like birds do before my reaching hand.

But love, unlooked for, is unbound,

finds the way, and finds me now.

Smiling.

Soul Vision 

by Liam

When my soul awakes from sleep,

Now new things stur,

sudden wonders arise;

The earth, in all its quiet grace arrayed,

Has long been bright beneath my unseeing eyes.

The meadow’s hush, the river’s silver tongue,

The trembling light on summers leaf.

The robin’s song so tenderly begun,

Were always there, though veiled in my mind’s disbelief.

O sweet, unguarded moment free!

Now I know

That beauty never turned nor fled from me;

’Twas I who walked too blind, too fast, too low,

To understand the world in all its mystery.

Now time moves slow, 

now light and air reveal,

The truth I’d not seen—yet is always, always real.

Poem: You !

by Liam

On that evening, late.

As you walked through into my room.

Fascination grabbed me, your smile too.

A joy rang resonating in the key hole,

Where I lived.

My heart hiding in the cupboard.

A closet reserved for tears,

The draws, filled with crumpled memories.

Musty that place!

Rusty my movements.

It came again 

The vibration, unmistakable & strong….

Boy! 

I breathed deeply.

Glowing your radiation fixed me  to the picture.

The wall swayed with my breathing.

Permeated, I reached out

and grasped your hand.

The movement as you slipped into my arms.

I breathed you in, awash in perfume.

I beat you off with a hammering chest .

I brushed the fluff on your cheek.

I whispered in case,

Reality was but my phantasy.

“Hi”

Drawing back her eyes,

Murky crystals recognized 

My gaze 

A moment which…

Touched the me,

I’d yet grow to become.

“You’re beautiful”

 

She loosened her hand, tugging gently kissed me.

Invisible blood dripped from my love wounded lips.

Dissolving we both left those lovers.

Only a moment, 

In eternity we soared.

Only a second 

In infinity we sighed.

Smiled laughed and died.

Were resurrected to a  new born day.

It’s you, really is you!

A cry was heard, as only souls reuniting sing.

This is my meaning 

This is your feeling

This is why we ring.

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.

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.

My Friend called Hope

by Liam

You shine through darkest nights unseen,

In a quiet, steady glow,

The warmth that kindles weary hearts,

And guides through loss and woe.

It’s in those shadows deep and dreary,

When light feels far away,

It’s your whisper soft that dares me on,

To face another day.

Though storms may rage and doubts arise,

Your strength remains so true,

The faithful spark, untouched by fear,

That leads me always through.

I am the flame that won’t go out,

The spark you cannot see,

A gentle, quiet, steadfast friend—

I am hope—and I am free.
