Whilst drifting in an open boat across a mill pond lake I think of the invisibility of power something not to forsake.
Imagine the power that is all around you Remember your mind will know what to do.
Water is very powerful as well as being beautiful and mild It has tremendous power to destroy, flood as the sea it kills But it can trickle sparkle, be still, move harmlessly It has power to heal, it can relax you spiritually Water power has a Jekyll and Hyde personality As rivers in torrents sweep all in its path People respect its power, it’s anger and wrath Foolish are those that ignore the power of the sea Water’s duel role upon the Earth as creator of life It is the bringer of death, awesome, creates strife Better to be wary of it, better still keep to the streams.
Fire, the energy to destroy, causes harm, everything it blackens Left in its uncontrolled and dangerous state it will flatten Everything in its way – setting alight trees and plants Melting people, houses, speeds the decay. Though man has harnessed the power of fire To torch him, his food, towns, cities is the real power Of fire, that does nothing any good, its shower Of ashes, piles of dust leaving traces for all to see.
The wind has power beyond wild imagining For though we see the evidence of storms and gales The wind be invisible in most of its disguises Trees bend they whisper to each other, reeds will sing Birds will glide, float endlessly upon the thing But the breezes, although very much there Are invisible not revealing to the studious stare Fire and water are visible forms of power Everyone recognises but wind is it really there? For most of the time it is not visible even when near.
Gravity in all its majesty is the power that is present At all times but remains cloaked in mystery Keeping us all rooted to the Earth is it’s paramount element But its visibility does not show as though to prevent Too much investigation too much scientific probing Though the scientist alchemist show the existence Of its power by falling apples and parachutists There is no other proof of its whereabouts We believe there is such a thing because of experts sense “There is gravity. Behold the wonder of science!”
Spirit like gravity is all around us if you could perceive The existence of such not having scientific approval Means that doubters outweigh the enlightened But the enlightened are better for their understanding Spirit is invisible like gravity and is an essential force For it does make sense of when combined with love The love that derives from the mighty Universe It links our tiny minds to the stars in outer space It gives purpose to the querying human race Spirit is there as gravity is there as wind is there To ignore the dimension we call spirit God Life energy Is like ignoring the power of fire, wind water gravity.
Root chakra the foundation of each and every soul, Where life can be built in tandem to the meaning Of security and stability – of wholeness in balance, To err is to disrupt the life force, increase anxiety Where feelings and desires get scattered all about.
The sacral chakra with its brave flag for creativity And sexual energies can be waved most heartily, The need for affirmation and being wanted in sex Does not have to be emphasised here, but next to the absence of intimacies there is only harm.
The sun plexus shines the light upon my inner wall Where my self-esteem is reborn and will power is all That grows from the heart of personal responsibility. Where embattled against manipulation we seek balance And curse all those who abuse their power against us.
The heart chakra beats its own rhythm, the love light Underlines our need to love ourselves in all seriousness For we would be unable to conjure the energy of happiness, To fight off the inevitable depression were we blessed With the self discipline needed to protect the heart.
The throat chakra can often get blocked sometimes Afraid to say what you really feel – ability at all times To clear the throat is testimony to the desire to speak aloud what we find our friendships and clans thus evaporating clouds That may be in our personal skies and allow the sunshine in.
With the third eye we can see beyond what there is here now Our intuition plays a major part in the orchestra we command It is why application of openness and honesty can somehow overcome the attacks that cloud the clarity in our purpose, We won’t receive anything other than what we demand.
The crown chakra opens the door to higher consciousness, Underlining natural born connections and friendships no less It can bring people together and divine purpose always readily Announces we embrace the spirits from without and within We are on course for the prize we deserve to be winning.
