Julie Mango

You have to wait
until I give you a taste
of my sweet secrets.
One then another
then you will see
there is more to me
than just this tree.
My nectar will delight.

I am lush
a hypnotic sight!
Coveted 
for my fiery ball - 
and deadly.
Take one bite
you won't be sorry.
Come closer
take a look
smell,
come closer
you will be hooked!

A Wisp of Steam

A Wisp of Steam

Slowly you rise
stretched thin
before their eyes
controlled by heat
moulded by fire.
Yet
you dear to defy
try to deny
your destiny.
Pride 
in your eyes
blind 
you do not see
the truth
you disappear
into thin air.

Be Prepared

Be prepared
to walk alone
and reap real rewards.
Leave
the past behind
do not be led by the blind.
Be prepared
to leave the crowd
With them you will be cowed.
Be prepared
to be alone
leave
all stones overthrown.
Then with boldness
advance
advance...
Embrace the great unknown.

The Light in your Heart

The Light in your Heart

That light within 
can never go dim
never be snuffed out
nor tossed about
into the sea to swim or sink.

That light within
cannot be dismissed on a whim
because it insists
that it must exist
where there is life.

That light within
can be renew on a hymn
of thanksgiving
for the love you display
when you encourage it to stay.

That light within
lifts up your heart
each day requiring a new start
to all that you are
and all the possibilities it brings.

This is the light in your heart...
