Recently our sister magazine More to Life came across a very gifted dowser and spiritual teacher, Kate Quartermaine. Within Kate’s latest book ‘Even Buddhas Have Bad Days’ there are a series of poems that we filt appropriate to share with farewells’ readers.
GENTLY Gently, gently, come to peace now Come to peace, no need for fright Dearest one, do not be scared now Your soul’s weary, and near ready To come back home, back to the light. Softly, softly, now come forward Feel the calling, feel the power Feel the love that draws you onward T ‘wards this most important moment This destined time, this sacred hour. Leave friends and family behind here Earth’s desires and business too Time to move on, you are done here None may follow, only you may Take this journey, only you. Let go all your pain and suffering Lightly leave this life behind Love will greet you, everlasting Peace and beauty you will find. Kate Quartermaine©
TOO BUSY TO DIE HUMAN BEING Death’s come calling round my way But I’m far too busy to die today I’ve much to do, I need to stay Begone death, begone I say I’m far too busy to die today. DEATH I gave you threescore years and ten The allotted span for mortal men When you begged for more another ten I think this was a fair bargain And yet you ask and ask again. But Death I’m just not ready yet To leave this life without regret I need more time so I can get My life in order, clear my debt And then I’ll leave with no upset. I’m sorry but this is the time It’s plain in your soul’s own timeline With this plan you must align The glass is empty, gone life’s wine Now is the end of this lifetime. But Death, just give me one more spring Please death let this be my choosing A little time to keep living To savour life, to savour being. One summer more before leaving That you know I cannot do To your souls plan we must stay true All was agreed, and your soul knew That this last time your life was due To end, and death must now ensue. I cannot go, I’ve too much fear Of losing all that I hold dear And now that you’re so very near I fear a judgement, bleak and drear I cannot see the pathway clear. I see you think you’re all alone You do not know you’re coming home There’s no more need this earth to roam Why stay with all your lessons done Love is calling you, now come. With one last easy outward breath Now pass the portal into death Love is coming, it won’t take long For you to find where you belong. Kate Quartermaine ©
THE JOURNEY HOME There’s a journey that we all must take The one that takes us home Back to the place where we come from And all must leave alone. Some people find it easy A blessing and release They’re happy to go home again To go and find their peace. Some people find it difficult It’s not so easy done They’ve guilt and fear of punishment This journey they will shun. For some it’s hard to find the way They do not know it’s there Denial, doubt and ignorance Will keep them unaware. Some people do not want to go They’ve liked it too much here Attachments to the lives they’ve led Can bind them to this sphere. Sometimes our own beloved ones Just cannot let us be Their need to keep us close to them Will hinder our flying free. So when it’s time for you to go To take that journey home Remember it’s where you come from Know you won’t be alone. Angels, guides and helpers wait To assist you on your way All you do is ask for help All you do is pray. Fear not judgement, fear not loss Fear not more worldly pain Step forward to the guiding light And you’ll be home again. Kate Quartermaine ©
