The path to peace
begins where we stand
side by side
letting go
of what keeps us apart
There is no other way
to find peace amongst us.

Black rain falls to earth
pouring down pain and darkness
sparrow flies no more.

IT IS TIME
It is time.
Time to awaken, to rise up, speak up, step up
Time to open our hearts, shift our minds and let peace enter.
It is time to put down arms without fearing for our lives
Time to hold out our arms in love for every life on this planet we share
together
Together
it is time to move away from discord and unease
it is time to move into harmony and joy
loving kindness
and peace.
oh yes.
Peace.
It is time for peace
peace in our hearts
peace in our minds
in our families and communities
in our cities and provinces
states and countries
it is time for peace in all our world
It is time.

the runaway©2015 Louise Gallagher
I reach for time
effortlessly running
away
from yesterday
slipping
between my fingers
hoping
to hold on
to more
than just memories
of time
running away.

We are born forever©2015 Louise Gallagher
We are born
forever
designed without committee
without collaborative hands
staking out the ground
where one of us will stand
forever
while others fall
by the wayside.
There is no wayside.
We are in this
together
all for one
one for all
forever.
We are created
forever
by the Divine
whose voice
is our voice
whose hands
are our hands
whose being
is our being.
There is no other.
We are born
magnificent
no ifs ands or buts
can ever take away
the sum of our parts
that do not add up
to our magnificence
it is all
there is
no other part to us
no shadow
of doubt
clouding up the skies
of our forever
magnificence
dimmed.
There is no dimming of our magnificence.
We are forever
in this moment
where we forget
the beauty of our essence
shimmering
in the light of this moment
awakening
to the truth
we do not need to search
for the path
to enlightenment
we are the path
our own way
our own light.
There is no other way.
There is only us
each and every one
created to last forever
no matter how this journey
runs
out
into the sands
of time
filling in
the footprints we left
in the seas of change
washing away
our memory
of our magnificence
born
forever.
There is only our forever.

The Love Bird (Mixed Media – Louise Gallagher)
©2014 Louise Gallagher
Giving birth
to what I do not know
I tremble
in the light
dawning
within my womb
truth breaks
open
my body
aches
at the liminal threshold
of revelation
faltering
on the edges
of my labor
kneeling
I press my forehead
against mother nature’s breast
and drink of her nectar
pulsing through my veins
Reveal to me
the truth
of all that is possible
when I let go of fear
I cry
and surrender
unto Love.

Prayer For The Hours©2014 Louise Gallagher
VIGILS (Night)
Beginning, sun sets
in shadowed light embracing day.
Owl hunts in darkness.
LAUDS (Dawn)
Breathing into light
dawn quietly leaves night’s bed.
Sparrow sings of joy.
TERCE (Morning)
Create! day called out
to time passing by unseen.
Magpie adors its nest.
SEXT (Noon)
Crimson fire burning hot
expands out to touch the horizon.
Eagle soars on high.
NONE (Mid-afternoon)
Ending, day seeks
closure in death’s sweet promise.
Raven waits patiently.
VESPERS (Evening)
Dusks thin veil pulls back
releasing earth from day’s labour.
Dove settles lightly.
COMPLINE (Night)
Seeking the great One
silence beckons at night’s edge.
Swan floats silently.

Dawn cracks the day open
little miracles unfold
A squirrel dances in the grass.

In the sacred space
of a brand new day
beginning
wakefulness draws me
gently away from sleep
making room for gratitude
to fill my heart
beat
drumming
a song of awakening
everyday
to the gift
of being alive
in this moment
at this special time
right now
where I can
breathe
freely
in dawn’s light shining.
