I breathe in the Divinity

I breathe in the  Divinity
Its in everything  I see
In the very depths of me
I am entertaining the Trinity

I see the Greatest God Divine
Everything becomes His Shrine
Reflecting His Most Sacred Shine
He comes out of this poor heart of mine.

Oh the most sacred sound of love
Echoing from the Great Above
Warming us like a winter glove
Its more than we can ever dream of..

Let us take some time today
From all the busy-ness and play
To whisper words and humbly say
Thank you Creator of the day..

Something we're taught....

From the earliest years we're taught to compete
In the tenderest minds the seed to defeat
Running and romping to be number one
Is something we're taught once school has begun

Somewhere in history this all had a start
Removing compassion and distancing  heart
Striving within you to be on the top
There's never a reason to give in or stop....

Lending to neighbors without a receipt
Is like running a race and accepting defeat
You just never do it its always about me
Running the race and achieving victory..

It's all related

Mother nature has been rumbling
Beneath the buildings slowly crumbling
Winds are blowing earth is quaking
Flooding cities: news is breaking

If  the sounds and sighs we're hearing
Doesn't give a sense of fearing
Warring peoples pushing forward
Frighten people they move toward...

Human nature sees the tragedies
As unrelated painful tapestries
But the truth, so far from reasoning,
Tells us wars give quakes their seasoning

Where is wisdom?

I will be silent and I will be still
I will let quietness  enter my will
I will hear mysteries; I will hear all
Everything unspoken will quietly call

Out in the elements or inside alone
I will be listening and still as a stone
Until I can hear it and until I can see
I will pursue it, the wisdom that's free

It's not in the whirlwind,  not in the crowd
It won't be heard shouting or screaming out loud
But inside of  the stillness, away from it all
Wisdom will be speaking to great ones and small.

We're grateful and thankful for all you have done

For all who have fallen when fighting for right
Who made that last sacrifice and fought that last fight
Who gave of their life's blood and surrendered their all
This day is to honor them and help us  recall.

The wars and the battles throughout all the years
Created our heroes that left us in tears
Unable to return to us succumbing to war
Memorial day welcomes them back to us once more

The flowers and families that gather this day
Say to the departed what we wanted to say
We're grateful and thankful for all you have done
But wish that those battles had never begun...

For all of those soldiers who never came back
We call up those memories that enveloped that act
That held your last moments and held your last day
You  sacrificed everything, what more can we say

Thank you and bless you for giving up your all
For breathing your last moments in response to a call
To protect us and everyone from those who do wrong
You'll always be remembered in verse and in song.

If only we could cherish it

Look at each flower and touch every tree
Feel all the sweetness that invites every bee
Hear all the soundings and listen with ease
Thousands of stories are inside the breeze

Look here intently and touch all the earth
Witness the beauty of life after birth
Plant life and animals and humanity too
Everything's a discovery just waiting for you

Taste of the fruit trees and drink of the sea
Eat of the nourishment: it's here bountifully
Observe what is visible and ponder what is not
Everything is provided without being sought

If only we could cherish it; if only we could love
Everything we were given from the Great One above
All things would be beautiful and all things would sing
Of the first days of Eden, when God created everything

God is in all

You spoke out a sound and It rode all through the breeze
It echoed through the plant-lets and It touched all the trees
Your voice was a river and It flowed through the created
Reminding  every creature  that we are all so related..

In the movement of waters and the flowing of the wind stream
Molecules and the atoms are the carriers of the life's dream:
An imprint of the Eternal and the connection to the  Divine
Transforms each and every moment into the Infinite One's Shrine.

If you will listen

Softly the breezes are touching every tree
Whispering newer secrets and whispering mystery
Carrying all the Heavens and the Maker of us all
It's good to listen carefully as they gently call

Oh how every element is speaking from its place
Rocks and flowing rivers are carrying so much grace
See how every molecule that is hidden from us all
Is carrying all life's energy to the great and small?

Hush now, for a moment, and hear what silence speaks
Its dancing through the sunbeams and resting on our cheeks
Instructing us with wisdom that gives the plants their green
If you will be truly silent you will discover what I mean...

That quiet light..

It isn't the boastful whose voice always gets heard
And it isn't the pushy who always gets in the last word
But  rather its that quiet light, that shining star of grace
That moves all the mountains and makes Heaven its place

So don't step on the other just to get yourself seen
And to get what you're wanting  don't be acting so mean
For the simple and the silenct just as much as the great
Can be creating transformations without need to deflate

Thus give of your kindness and share without greed
Extend yourself freely and take notice of need
For the Giver and the Lover and the Mover of all things
Will bless every person who's an angel without wings..

Why can't we all get along?

All the hatreds and  the violence
Are sending the angels into silence
All the bickering and the back biting
Are starting the hell fires that are igniting

Why can't we all get along
Why do we choose ways so wrong
What is it about all our pride
That makes us cast love aside

I see the children are all weeping
While the evil doers are all creeping
I see the mountains are all shaking
Beneath the tremors and the quaking

Why can't we all get along?
Why do we choose ways so wrong?
What is it about all our pride
That makes us cast love aside?

Wars and prejudices are all uniting
Beneath the banners of evil fighting
Nations countries and the places
Are straying away from God's saving graces

Why can't we all get along?
Why do we choose ways so wrong?
What is it about all our pride
That makes us cast love aside?

How much longer will it be
Before we all can begin to see
That it is okay to disagree
But not to be imposing our ideology

Why can't we all get along?
Why do we choose ways so wrong
What is it about all our pride
That makes us cast love aside?

It's time

It's time to love and share
Time to show some care
Time for everyone everywhere
To become "everyone else" aware

It's time to step outside
And time to conquer pride
Time to put quarreling aside
To join together and not divide...

It's time to become a friend
And time to comprehend
Time to give, not lend
To be inviting and to  blend..

It's time for you and me
To be more friendly you see
It's time for that one unity
That transports the Immortality

So let's  take the time today
To get on the more loving  way
To  speak to everyone each day
Without an  excluding way

Now I am recreated and renewed..

You have touched me oh Lord, in the quietness of my mind
And You have spoken to me words that I could never ever find
In the silent moments of morn; in the quietest time of day
You have invaded my poor heart with Your most transforming way

Now I am recreated and renewed and restored once again
You have given me a Place where no enemy can enter in
I am you child dearest Lord and I am the prodigy of Your Grace
Heaven and earth have rejoiced at this renewal taking place..

For too long I have been searching for the way unto You
In the buildings and the faiths that promised to be true
But in the absence of the searching when my heart was finally still
I encountered what I could not ever in Your Most revealing will

Now I am recreated and renewed and restored once again
You have given me a Place where no enemy can enter in
I am you child dearest Lord and the prodigy of Your Grace
Heaven and earth have rejoiced at this renewal taking place..

It wasn't in the stones or inn the gems of some religion
That I encountered wisdom or the secret Divine Division
Only in the utter stillness and the silencing of my will
Did I encounter grace and the path to You most real...

Now I am recreated and renewed and restored once again
You have given me a Place where no enemy can enter in
I am you child dearest Lord and I am the prodigy of Your Grace
Heaven and earth have rejoiced at this renewal taking place..

So, for You I will shine and I will sing of Your ways
In my words, in my life, I will offer You the praise
For You have rescued me from darkness, from the falsities outside
You have conquered every enemy and squashed my inner pride

Now I am recreated and renewed and  restored once again
You have given me a Place where no enemy can enter in
I am you child dearest Lord and I am the prodigy of Your Grace
Heaven and earth have rejoiced at this renewal taking place..

Wake up and see it...

Quietly the morning is whispering words to me:
"Wake up and see it:  see what you can see"
Rising up and washing and doing what I do
I  look out and admire it and give thanks for what is true

Truly its a blessing, a gift of giving love
To capture it to enjoy it I set my eyes above
Nothing can ever replace it and nothing can ever compare
To the beauty the blessing the Divine-ness everywhere..

So inhale it and observe it and allow it inside your heart
Eternity and immortality is ours from the very start
Take notice of it, take moments, take every second to see
The Eternal, the Omnipotent, is everything mystically..

The imbalance of "not working together"...

The earth she is quaking and the waters are overflowing
Rivers are now appearing where the land was once showing
The people are all weeping and the children are all running
Beneath all the rattle of the machine gunners gunning

The twisters and the monsoons and the hurricanes and the weather
Are all speaking  to us of the imbalance of "not working together"
The peacefulness and the kindness are now all taken up by the greed
Of the nations and the  leaders who are refusing to feed.

See how the emblems  are all waving on the catastrophes
Foolishness and warring are demolishing all the democracies
Who is it. we are following if the end result is this destructiveness
Tell me, if you will now, what God would encourage such  heartlessness?


we need to stop warring ..we are setting the whole universe on 
a downward spiral . peace begets peace..war begets destruction...

The secrets of daybreak

I hear them, the crickets, and the kitchen clock ticking:
Together they're making me a melody most sticking..
A rhythm so soothing and a rhythm in time:
Inspiring me and guiding me into a new rhyme..

The darkness still lingers and the sun hasn't risen
The morning's releasing the day with her mission:
Slowly she's emerging  beneath the sun shining:
Dawn is awakening and everything's aligning..

Creeping so slowly, the first beams of morning
Are tapping the universe without need for a warning..
Warming up to everything: the plant-lets and trees
Are inhaling the energy that rides on  the breeze

Can you  not hear it ...the voices of Springtime:
Are riding the moments that create for us new rhyme..
Touching the atmosphere and speaking without noise
The lovely spring mother isn't  needing a voice..

Slow down your motions and pick up the rhythm
That balances the universe without need for division
Moving the elements and the particles together
Eternity has created what war can't ever sever...

Can you not get them, the secrets of day break
By silencing your actions and readying for  intake?
All of the universe and all of the Heavens
Are giving whats necessary in a matter of seconds..

So, let us sing it out....

Oh the beautifulness and oh the wonderfulness
Oh the immensity of God's Eternal Giving-ness
We see the mountains and we breathe the atmosphere
Everything around is crying out that God is here.

So let us sing it out and let us sing it clear
There is an Omnipresent God with each one us here
We are never ever alone; and we are never ever in need
For the One Who gives us life will always intercede..

Look at the tiniest plants and look at the mountain peaks
Hear them as they're crying out..of the Almighty's tweaks?
Even the rocks below without anything moving to show
Can tell us of the Eternal One's most generous overflow

So let us sing it out and let us sing it clear
There is an Omnipresent God with each one us here
We are never ever alone; and we are never ever in need
For the One Who gives us life will always intercede..

So we should acknowledge Him and we should speak of His grace
In everything that's living and in everything taking up space
We are the privileged ones the ones who are really able to know
All of the beautifulness bestowed on us here below...

So let us sing it out and let us sing it clear
There is an Omnipresent God with each one us here
We are never ever alone; and we are never ever in need
For the One Who gives us life will always intercede..

I taste the sweetness

I taste the sweetness of the fresh morning
Beautiful dew drops that fall without warning
Moistening the plantlets and shining through trees
Riding the current of the soft blowing breeze..

I see the radiance of the Great Portal
Signs of eternity and of the Immortal
Echoing within us and making each day
A present of infinity passing our way..

Too many the graces and too little the knowing
All through the universe the Infinite is flowing
Touching the created and creating what's needed
The Almighty, Eternal One's never impeded...

Discernment

Though others have hurt you, just let them  all go
There will be other people and ones you can know
Hanging onto the hurters, the abusers, and the mean
Will only become destructive and create a bad scene..

Pull away from the sweetness of the psychopathic mind
Who'll convince you, you're lucky, then treat you unkind
Bullying and conniving is not something you will see
Until you are all "spellbound" beneath their suavity..

Don't let anyone trick you into becoming their fool
They'll convince you, you're choosing, and then overrule
Getting you to do everything that they want you to in a day
Stay away from such people who keep imposing their way...

Her moments are preludes...

I hear the robins:  their songs are all sounding
Heavenly, the anthems, that send my heart pounding
Early the hours, for  the sun has not yet risen
Shadows of night sink inside morning's provision

Quiet the atoms that surf through the atmosphere
So silent, so steady: the quietness that I can hear
At a distance, I see them, the deer who are peaking
Fearful, yet watching for anything that's speaking.

Oh how it is beautiful the showing of morning
She breaks into the horizon without any warning
Shining her radiance, she sings of the day's glory
Her moments are preludes to the rest of the story

Friends forever, by your side

When night has robbed from your sleep
Angel guardians with you keep
Moments, seconds, hours too
They are ready to be with you

Quietly watching, ready to speak
Brushing teardrops from your cheek
Though unnoticed they are there
Guardian angels everywhere...

See them as you sigh and weep
All those droplets they will keep
Friends forever by your side
Angel spirits with you abide..

Good times, bad times they will share
Guarding you with utmost care
Counseling guiding directing you
Angel guardians: proven true..

Beauty is awaiting us...

Clear skies above me and flowers in the ground
Birds in the air flying, creatures all around
New buds are breaking out and blossoms now show
Spring time is singing  the songs I should now

Bright sun is shining out sunbeams warming me
Green bursts of plant energy in all that  I see
Calmness and coolness and warmness galore
Nature is bursting out with colors and more..

Take time and pause enough to let yourself see
All of the wonderfulness..all of the mystery
Of morning and night time and all time between
Beauty is awaiting us do you know what I mean?

Clouds of gray and frightening colors

Clouds of gray and frightening colors linger over the sky today
Holding hands they gather together ominous sounds come from their way
Rumbling clashes make our thunder shaking up the earth around
Though this seems a bit more darkening there is goodness to be found

For the seed beneath the soil finds its help in all of this noise
Breaking shells and softening hard earth thunder help the seed  rejoice
Poking through this storm of darkness sprouts of hope are everywhere
Without clouds and without thunder so much beauty we could not share

So sit there now and enjoy the lightning..allow yourself the joy and awe
In the thunder and in winds blowing, Sacred Providence is loving all
Thunder storms with rain clouds joining sing to  us a song of peace
Washing earth and breaking barriers signs of new life now release..
