God Whispers
a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan
God whispers to you
night and day
in wind and rain
and storms
and sparkling dew
upon the lawn.
God's song of life
sings, "I'm with you
I'm all around
just look and see
for I AM you
and you are me."
God whispers to you
all the time
in thoughts and words
and deeds
of self and others
kindnesses.
God's song of love
sings, "I'm with you
and you're with me
I'm everyone
and all you see."
God whispers to you
this moment
in all that is
and all you see
of miracles
and majesty.
God's song of peace
sings "I hear you
and heal your wounds
and fill your heart
just stop and be."
God whispers to you
night and day
through everything
you gaze upon
in happiness
in sorrow too
life's poignant as
it's meant to be.
God's song of truth
sings, " Listen now
slow down your life
quiet your thoughts
just stop and be
then you'll hear me."

Creator
a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan
No matter what religion
Creator dwells within
and God has never left us
he can't... you see, he is us
and all Creation too.
You say that God made pain
I reply he didn't, he made
emotions, mind and spirit.
It's we who choose the outcome
of how we feel and what we think
our happy, sad or worried
comes from us alone.
How I respond to others
or even to myself
is my responsibility
not God's, not yours nor others
it is mine alone my friend
and yours alone as well.
God called us 'human beings'
he says 'Just be... my children... play'.
But we take that play and twist it
and call each other names
we poke and hit and banter
until we feel the shame.
We hurt ourselves my friend
not God nor other either.
God called us 'human beings'.
we call us 'human doings'
for the being part escapes us
in our daily life of doing.
God's gone missing in existence
from our minds, and words and lives
and we blame God for our suffering
and we blame God for our pain
and we blame God for every other thing
in life that brings us shame.
It is we who have created that
not God nor other either
we put everything outside of self
when it's us that's the creator.
God loves us beyond reason
and allows our will and folly.
For this is how we grow and change
and choose again a different play
a different game, a new response.
It can't remain the same for long
for this is how we grow our soul.
It's through our pain we change
or stay the same and suffer.
So it's a choice to stay the same
as well a choice to change.
God loves us and supports our choice
with majesty and might
he doesn't even mind it much
if we only choose to fight.
For he knows one day we'll get it
and we'll change our haughty ways
and move back again to love and peace
for our eternal days.

aging...
~a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan
Your face is hidden by a book
a picture of the cover.
Which holds inside a group of thoughts
about a time, about a place
but not about the man himself.
Perhaps the surface... not the depth
the fullness, sense or feeling.
There are no words, which can describe
the tactile sense, inside the mind
inside the soul, inside the being.
Inside the fullness of the man
that's who you are indeed.
A face describes itself with life
of all it's seen and all it's done.
It scribes upon it lines of age
sweet misery, sweet joy.
Every hair of snowy white
is honor that is earned in life.
Age is wisdom, color, flavor
experience itself to savor.
Wear it proudly, fly it high
this flag of story, let none deny.
A place in time, describes an age
a youth or man and now a sage.
All slots in time, placeholders only
filled up with life, sweet love or sorrow.
Experienced within a moment
for this is all we have... right now.
Life's never over, until you claim it
be what you want, live it, name it.
It is our clay, modeled with desires
and shaped with every choice.
Choose life my friend, and live it well
with laugher filled and dancing joy.
Alive, awake and in sweet dreams
For life is what we make it.
Will you show your face to me?

Gnomes and Fairies
An artistic short, primarily black and white video created by Ted Chambers. Doesn't remind me of gnomes or fairies, feels more like innerspace or transdimensional travel.
Whatever it is, it's very artsy and creative...

Paris...
a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan
Ah Paris 'tis the city of love
a beautiful place indeed.
Enjoy yourself and if you like
have a pastry for me.
A croissant, pasty or a tart
with cream, and fruit, and crust.
Such a delight with every bite
is sinful, and a must.
Have an espresso at a street cafe
and watch the passersby
In thought, or talk, or steadfast walk
so busy with their lives.
Enjoy a walk along the Seine
or boat ride to the Louvre.
With easy access everywhere
you can also ride the Tube.
Enjoy your trip to Paris
have a glass of wine for me.
And over here I'll taste it
on my lips, just wait and see.
I taste a red, hardy and full
it’s peppery and smooth.
Oh no it’s white, a crisp delight
it’s flowery… oh no it’s bright.
Did you have two, or maybe three
I’m so confused it must be me.
I taste a tart, and coffee too
my senses don’t know what to do.
Enjoy your trip to Paris
and I’ll be here with you
Or is it there, I just don’t know
with you I’m split in two.
I don’t know what I’m doing
and I don’t know what I see
All I know that I like you
and you’ll have the best from me.
Enjoy your trip to Paris friend
best wishes, bon voyage
I don’t know how to end this
so I’ll just press the pause…
