Sun sets on another day of battle
With steadfast quiet attention
She sits and breathes
And channels the turbulence inwards
Til the inner eddies untangle relax and flow once more
Into depths new Continue reading

Poems by Sandra Hillawi
Future Me
I look into the future and I see
The one who is everything
That I want to be
How do I reach you
When you’re so far away
Then you turn towards me
And I hear you say
Time Out To Play
Hey you, with your head down
Look up and see
Breathe feel remember
Yes you are free
You are not your work
Your work flows through you
You are not the slave Continue reading
When Will The Fires Stop
When will the fires stop
That I can once again create my art
When will life give me space
To pause and start
To see again what is
Around me and within
How fast is this race
How many tasks must we face
Will we ever be done
Will the race ever be won
I breathe and I pause
Seize the moment because Continue reading
On The Passing of A Loved One
What words can comfort the heart that aches
For the loss of one who is beloved and cherished by all
What actions can console in such times of sorrow
But soft words of love and gentle kindness
May the pain of parting be soothed by the love Continue reading
A Dance of Art
Happy dancing light her soul
As songs flow from her heart
Releasing to the world with joy
Expressing beauty art
.
Her music fills the air with love
In silence til it finds
A hungry soul an open heart
Another of its kind
The Quiet King
You might miss him in his quietness
Not seeking power or fame
Self assured, contained within
Humble is his name
But if you take a moment
To consider him you’ll find
A heart so great, a soul so deep
A clear and focussed mind
Beautiful Breath
Rises and falls
Expands and deflates
Silently softly
Beautiful breath
What makes the breath breathe
Its not conscious me
Amazing this engine that
Breathes itself easily
The Roses In My Garden
The roses in my garden
Came to visit for a while
Each day another blossomed
Each day they made me smile
In the morning hour their fragrance
Soothed and warmed my waking heart
Simple beauty just unfolding
Living strokes of nature’s art

Conversation With My Heart
I love you my heart
I am so sorry
I’ve been taking you for granted
I am sorry I had a lot of stress in my life
And this hurt you
It made you contract and feel tense
And not your normal strong self
I am sorry that I only see that now
Please forgive me
I really do love you
And I am so grateful for what you do for me
And to have you so I can live my life
Awww shucks, thanks buddy, it’s ok
I appreciate you recognising me at last
That’s all I needed Continue reading

Love releases
Love it flows Continue reading
Now I Go Gently and Quietly
Now I go gently and quietly
Gone are the days of desperation and fear
Gone are the days of intensity and haste
Gone are the days where my plight spilled over
To those who would listen
As I sought release, solace, recognition Continue reading
Bitter Sweet As Turkish Coffee
Bitter sweet as Turkish Coffee
Is this my star crossed love affair
Sweet and dark and tastes exotic
Rich aroma fills the air
Delicious sip can’t live without it
Deep dark mystery captivates
It lifts me up awakes my senses
Stimulates and fascinates
But oh that bitter twist beguiling
Enraptured captured I’m enthralled
Intoxicating moment’s over
A deeper mystery now calls Continue reading

Love and Light as you wake
Love and Light to caress you
Love and Light keep you safe Continue reading
