So be that ambassador....

I know that you have all your challenges and life is not so easy it's true
Sometimes you might feel like your life has become an obstacle course for you
But you with all of your brokenesses and you with all your beauty within
Can become a beacon of light and hope for those who dont know where to begin

So be that ambassador of hope and love and be that beacon that shines the way
The world is so desperately needing  a more caring and considerate day
For we've all been taught to do all we can do.. to get to that number one
But no one is really encouraging us to get there to share it with someone

We have the abilities and the know hows: the graces and insights galore
We mustn't be afraid to shine out what the world is diligently looking for
True it may not even know its seeking for graces or truth inside a mall or store
But we can still be the angels of enlightenment who help it get up off the floor

So be that anbassador of hope and love and be that beacon that shines the way
The world is so desperately needing  a more caring and considerate day
For we've all been taught to do all we can do.. to get to that number one
But no one is really encouraging us to get there to share it with someone

The moments and hours keep on passing; and the days keep on turning to night
Who will become those enlightened beings:  ambassadors of mercy and light?
The time won't ever stop its movement and  hours won't suddenly stand still
So we're needing to gather an army of angels who will be loving and caring: for real

So be that ambassador of hope and love and be that beacon that shines the way
The world is so desperately needing  a more caring and considerate day
For we've all been taught to do all we can do.. to get to that number one
But no one is really encouraging us to get there to share it with someone

If we're willing

In the morning, in the evening, every moment, every day
There are secrets, there are treasures, quiet whispers on the way
We can find them and unite them to the fabric of our lives
If we're willing, if were able: to take some pauses in our strides

All around us and about us in the elements and in the trees
The are soundings of the Spirit: simple echoes, ecstasies
Only ponderers of the moment quiet spirits: you and me..
Can appreciate and can savor all   the Heavenly delicacy..

Won't you want it, won't you seek it: all this manna from the sky
Falling freely, falling surely: in the moments passing by?
Time is passing, time is fleeing, time is sure to disappear.
Tis the moment, tis the second, tis the hour to listen and hear..

Time to wake up ....

Take some time out now and hear the whispers of the wind
Allow its sacred energy to echo deep within
Close off all your senses and open up all your soul
This will enable everything to feel the Sacred  flow..

It is the hour of waking and the day is about to begin
What will be your agenda as you face your schedule again..?
Will you embrace the moments like a robot or a mime
Who simply acts out motions without noticing the time...

The energies around you are awaiting your response
As you step into the elements, will you  notice all their nods...?
Each one in their own way is speaking out along the way
Will you hear their messages, or simply walk away...

The creatures and the plantlets; the oceans and the sea
All of them are calling out, beckoning you and me
To notice what isn't noticeable; to see what isn't seen...
The time has come to wake up. now: do you know what I mean..?

The Essence of Christmas

Sparkling lights and trees all bright and songs are sung like: "silent night"
It is the morning and the dawning of that day  so bathed in Light
Gathering people and gathering families celebrate differently than before
For a Baby and the manger are not the only gifts they're looking for.....

God among us God around us God in everyone we see
Not in presents or in buying but in the presence of you and me
So we celebrate and we claim it: Christmas day is here again
But the beauty of this gathering is the Love that's deep within..

People laughing and people talking sharing treats like: food and wine
There's a warmth and there's a presence filtering through this present time
Though there's tearing up of paper; seeing presents bought with care
Something deeper is emerging in hearts of people everywhere

God among us God around us God in everyone we see
Not in presents or in buying but in the presence of you and me
So we celebrate and we claim it: Christmas day is here again
But the beauty of this gathering is the Love that's deep within..

Not the price tags or the sparkling of the shiniest things galore
Can make this Holiday the best Holiday yes we heard this all before
For the  celebrating and the feasting and the laughter and the cheer
Are but nothing and are fleeting if we've forgotten why we're here

God among us God around us God in everyone we see
Not in presents or in buying but in the presence of you and me
So we celebrate and we claim it: Christmas day is here again
But the beauty of this gathering is the Love that's deep within..

It's Christmas eve...

Oh hear all the sounds of this beautiful night
Echoing around us in this universe tonight
All of the world is embellished by light
Beautiful colors and beautiful sight

Year after year and home after home
We see the Yule setting, the most festive tone
Children and parents and people alike
Remembering a Baby enveloped by light

Unwrapping the presents and waiting to see
What is the secret that's waiting for me
Shaking the package and looking inside:
Blessings and caring: in every bow tied

Looking for meanings and reason to pray
All of us gather and whisper and say
Thanks to the Creator the Giver of all
Who blessed us with Christmas and Jesus so small

This is the moment the day is right here
Everyone is happy and full of good cheer
Singing and caroling with beautiful sound
Let us praise Jesus our  Savior in round...

Jesus our Savior....

Too long the waiting
Too long the hating
All the earth is wading
In her hurt she's fading

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

Who will be her Savior
Cleanse and fully bathe her
Lost in all her sadness
Who will bring her gladness

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

See this world is blinded
By her prejudice guided
No one is for talking'
Over everyone is walking

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

See the Virgin Mother
Holding God and Brother
With her Humble answer
Curing hatred's cancer

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

Without any fanfare
God Who gives us air
Rests in so much meekness
Banishes all our bleakness

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

Wars and rumbling thunder
Trampling people under
Prince of Peace we need you
More than ever it is true

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

See the children playing
In a world displaying
Peace on earth and goodwill
While we pick up "road kill"

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

We're longing for a Christmas
When we'll know true goodness
Like that very first birth day
When Jesus was  our way

Jesus our Savior 
Baby in a manger
God and Man uniting
Against all evil fighting...

The Shepherd's Story

In the night sky, there was glowing
The brightest star with all its knowing
Pointing eastward and singing quietly
Of a moment in God's  Dynasty

Below the radiance of all its glow
The simple shepherds were quick to know
That this light while illuminating
Was the Hope for which they're waiting

Above the earth with all God's glory
The angels sang a mystic story
Where God was man and man was God
And all who came would be over awed

So in this place where a Baby lay..
God and Man were touched by hay
And simple shepherds looked to see
The King of Kings in His Infancy

It's Christmas...

Children gather round the tree, for it is Christmas day
Shaking gifts, they're wondering: "are these things for play.."
Looking on with loving hearts, parents: young and old;
Call to mind those memories of when they were so bold.

Tinseled trees and sparkling lights herald this new day
Melodies and carolers contribute in their way
Taking time to stop and pray before the start of all
Believers,  from the world around, recall a Babe so small..

Warming smiles and smells of food are filtering through the air
Laughter and the sound of fun are echoing everywhere
Families from the world around enjoy their traditional way
Of celebrating this time of year: especially Christmas day..

Tinseled trees and sparkling lights herald this new day
Melodies and carolers contribute in their way
Taking time to stop and pray before the start of all
Believers,  from the world around, recall a Babe so small..

It is good to remember now that there are some people who weep
And there are those know no one and are homeless on the street
Should we become the lucky ones, who see them along our way
Let us resolve to help them out with love this Christmas day

Tinseled trees and sparkling lights herald this new day
Melodies and carolers contribute in their way
Taking time to stop and pray before the start of all
Believers,  from the world around, recall a Babe so small..

"All is calm, all is bright"

"All is calm" and "all is bright"
Are some words from Silent Night
But in our world and in our day
Can they describe us and our way?

We deck the halls and light the tree
But do we know how it came to be:
That we would run to store and mall
To buy some gifts for one and all..?

With wrapping paper, bows and tape
We wrap and get ready to celebrate
The memory and moment of One Most Dear:
Jesus our Savior, joining us here

He didn't come with a royal throne
Though He was king, it wasn't known
And so the setting for This Arrival
Was humble and hideous: poor Little Child..

We must remember with all our might
Who gave the gift with greatest light
It isn't the one who was paying the most
But HE who continues to be our Host

Guardians of this world....

In the hush of the evening, a quiet sound is heard:
A hundred thousand angels hover without a word
Watching over a nation, a city and a home
Guardians of this world will never leave us alone

Heartaches, that are sounding, filter through the air;
While people sharing laughter celebrate unaware
That somewhere in the city. a heartbreak has been known..
Guardians of this world will bring peace to every home

The mornings and the evenings the daylight and the night
Hold us inside this ambient where angels keep their flight
For though we  wander careless or upright in our ways
Guardians of this world will direct our nights and days..

So while this poem is over and the words  no longer flow
There is one  final message that everyone should know
Our souls were made for Heaven and no matter where we go
Guardians of this world will stand up against God's foe

We have angels by our side

I woke up from my sleep and dancing into my night
A hundred little sparklets were visible to my sight
I squinted my eyes to focus I shook myself, my head
A hundred little lightlets kept glowing about my bed

A hundred little angels were around my bed last night
At first I didn't know it but now its clear as light
I really don't know how to describe it but words I choose to write
To share with all the world that we have angels by our side

I got up from my bedlet and I washed my hands and face
Returned to take my slumber and the sparklets maintained  their place
I laid down back to ponder it and watched into the night
And realized that I was visited by angels with their light

A hundred little angels were around my bed last night
At first I didn't know it but now its clear as light
I really don't know how to describe it but words I choose to write
To share with all the world that we have angels by our side

The memory of these sparklets was with me as I awoke
I remembered how they were lingering and warmed me like a cloak
The sight of them was such a mystery but I know they were Heaven led
I'll never forget these moments or how angels surrounded my bed

A hundred little angels were around my bed last night
At first I didn't know it but now its clear as light
I really don't know how to describe it but words I choose to write
To share with all the world that we have angels by our side

If There's ever a chance in your lifetime you are able to see
A hundred little angels aglow with   mystery
Don't run or try to fight it just sit there in  quiet awe
And realize  God has graced you with everything you saw..'

A hundred little angels were around my bed last night
At first I didn't know it but now its clear as light
I really don't know how to describe it but words I choose to write
To share with all the world that we have angels by our side

The days before Christmas

Glowing lights and tinseled halls
Fill the minds of those in malls
For it is the season after fall
Where we spend and buy for all...

While the children look with glee
At the play things that they see
They are hoping and believe
Santa'll bring them.. Christmas Eve

At a distance Church bells ring
Reminding  us of Whom we sing
God among us, once so small
Gave us Christmas one and all..

Then we hurry here and there
Barely stopping for our prayer
Buying, shopping, gifts galore
Have we something for the Lord?

Then we ponder.. one by one
Have we something for everyone
Traffic's heavy, getting late
Time to wrap and decorate...

When its over and all is done
Will we regret the joy and fun
Or will we be happy and  at peace
Knowing Christmas is a time to feast...

The love of money

The love of money can blur our vision
And put our senses  out of commission
The love of money and  of acquiring
Is for the soul a firing squad firing

The soul is searching; the mind is plotting
One is forever  the other's rotting
Life is a mixture of two sides  vying:
One is the eternal and the other is  dying

The love of money can blur our vision
And put our senses out of commission
The love of money and  of  acquiring
Is for the soul a firing soul firing

The soul enlightened can see things clearly
It loves all people and things sincerely
But the stingy someone with love for no one
Hasn't any wisdom or concern for anyone.

The love of money can blur our vision
And put our senses out of commission
The love of money and of  acquiring
Is for the soul a firing soul firing

The broken people, the hungry people
Aren't needing sermons or a steeple
This world is hungry its soul is dying
Its needing kindness there is no denying

The love of money can blur our vision
And put our senses out of commission
The love of money and  of acquiring
Is for the soul a firing soul firing

What would Christmas be like...?

What would Christmas be like, without our beloved Jesus?:
Would it have any sort of meaning; or even be able to inspire us?
We'd be running around and shopping, and buying our gifts galore..
Just like any other shopping day: we'd be supporting our local store...

What would Christmas be like,,if we were only wanting to receive?
We'd be like the Scrooge from Dickens with no faith or will to believe
That there's blessings inside the givingness and love inside us all
Just waiting to be someone's happiness in the big gifts or the small..

What would Christmas be like, if we weren't really willing to care?
We'd be going through all of the motions but be empty and unaware
That the truest meaning of Christmas, comes from the most loving heart
Who takes the time to insure that each person has a part.....

What would Christmas be like if it never even happened before
What would be have to look forward to, and Who'd open Heaven's door
Would there be any hope for salvation or any hope for anyone at all
It's wonderful to celebrate the Holiday but don't forget the Babe so small

Oh Christmas tree, all lit up...

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight

Indeed without that first Birthday so many years ago
We wouldn't be celebrating..did you know did you know..
That a baby in a manger without the warmth of a bed
Is the One who gives meaning to these songs in our head?

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight

While rushing to our parties and unwrapping gifts galore
Let us remember that first Christmas: what all of this is for
It is not so much the getting of gifts from mall or store
But the giving to all around us: a sign of love and more...

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight'

When Christmas comes this season when it comes to us once more
Will you make it a little different then any other year before
Will you take some time to ponder to hear that angels voice
Who tells us God is among us and it has always been His Choice

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight

Angelic whispers

Breezes resting on my face
Leaving imprints of His grace
Secret messengers carrying love
Heavenly echoes from above..

Like the Spirit bright and fair
Wind streams sailing everywhere
Moving people plants and all
Inviting all to hear God's call

Listen deeply while you're still
To the whispers of God's will
In the plants the birds the trees
God is speaking like the breeze..

Touch him with the touch of grace
Love Him like the angels place
See Him in the all  you see
Know Him as the One you need..

Stepping stones

Outside my window pane
Tiny droplets of quiet rain
Are dancing, yes dancing

They never speak a word
Yet their every moment is heard
They're dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity...

Hush now see how that sun
Emerges bright for everyone
It's dancing, yes dancing

That early morning star
Appearing close but yet so far
Is dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity..

Look that tiniest little mite
Barely visible to our sight
Is dancing, yes dancing

It has such tiny limbs and feet
Yet they all keep the truest beat
It's dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity

You, there, go join that world outside
Tap into its beauty... do not hide
It's dancing, yes dancing

In everything that there is around
In all the created that are found
God is dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When  that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity

Free at last...

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset: to be free at last
It is okay to be loving and kind,
Despite the struggles attacking your mind...

For we are all human with  weaknesses in bold
Sometimes we're considerate at other times mold
Sometimes we are willing; other times we are  not..
It's time to build bridges and untie every knot

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset to be free at last
It is okay to loving and kind
Despite all the struggles attacking your mind

There are plenty of things we think were not right
But holding them up: they all pale in God's light
There were, indeed,  heartaches, laughter and tears
These made up our history and circled our years

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset to be free at last
It is okay to loving and kind
Despite all the struggles attacking your mind

We all know emotions are sensitive and feelings are too
But when all is said and done:  we know what is true
God is not wanting us to nurture or employ
Feelings that smother or emotions that destroy

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset to be free at last
It is okay to loving and kind
Despite all the struggles attacking your mind 

This tragedy tonight..

(bullying can hurt)

Didn't you know that your words could all sting
That they could bring laughter or some brokenness bring
Didn't you know that those tears in their eyes
Were not so much from pain; but  the element of surprise?

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far:
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar..
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight..

You joked in your cruelty about that other one's name
Pointed your finger and showered them with blame
You ridiculed those people who weren't similar to you
And laughed as others struggled to do what they do

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight.

You in your grouplets that all gather and gaulk
Seem to find your happiness in your mischievous talk
You will paint out a picture for the one you will judge
And then leave them to struggle:  unable to budge..

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight.

If you were that person  you were bullying around
If you were the needy one without help to be found
Wouldn't you be hoping that someone would care
Yes but you keep hurting with your ominous air...

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight.

In my hands...

In my hands, I do hold
All the elements:  new and old
All the universe:sky and trees
Every mineral; all the breeze

In my hands, both great and small
I hold  secrets for us all...
Bundled up and out of sight:
Cries and laughter, from the night

In my hands, so full of power
I change minutes. into an hour..
Full of mercy or full of hate:
I see these fingers seal my fate.

In my hands are all the lines
Of those who've sang the cryptic signs
Sacred messengers sealed with love
Hands were made to lift above..

Walk through your city...

Walk through your city, and see with new eyes.
See every person: their struggles their tries..
Hear all their whisperings, hear all their sighs
Walk trough your city and see with new eyes

Open each morning, with wonder and prayer;
Hear, how the universe, sings through the air:
Echoing the heartbeats, of everyone everywhere..
Open each morning with wonder and prayer...

Reach out in kindness and reach out in love.
Give like One giving, for the Good God above.
Give, without judging, what the other one does
Reach out in kindness, and reach out in love..

Close your eyes thinking:  oh, what can I do
To make tomorrow better when morning comes through
Who was neglected by my actions most true:
Close your eyes thinking:  oh, what can I do?

It's going to be okay my friends...

The sky up above is wearing its most daunting and dismal gray
And those clouds in the sky, they have nothing productive to say
Dampness is taking over this morning, this cool November Saturday
Yet somehow we can find it inside us to get up and courageously say

It's going to be okay my friends; it's really going to be okay, okay..
Everything is going to work out alright,  in its own miraculous way
Worries that linger will become like a shadow that is quickly disappearing
And smiles will be replacing those long lines of  tears that are now appearing

The news coming in doesn't seem like it's something we're wanting to hear
People around us are laughing and something we did is wrong its all so clear
Yet we hang on to that line of hope that thread of faith keeping us all alive
And with renewed spirits inside of us sing out a song that's sure to survive:

It's going to be okay my friends; it's really going to be okay, okay..
Everything is going to work out alright,  in its own miraculous way
Worries that linger will become like a shadow that is quickly disappearing
And smiles will be replacing those long lines of  tears that are now appearing

Our loved ones are quickly disappearing,  our circle of friends is dwindling down
It's hard to keep up with all of the goings on in this crazy ole town
Is it possible to keep positive: to bring out for others that reassuring smile?
Sure; if only we will use great will power and sing them  these words for awhile:

It's going to be okay my friends; it's really going to be okay, okay..
Everything is going to work out alright,  in its own miraculous way
Worries that linger will become like a shadow that is quickly disappearing
And smiles will be replacing those long lines of  tears that are now appearing

Mirroring God's Likeness

Chilled are the grass blades and frosty the windows
Slowly the sun beams illuminate my pillows
Morning is breaking and all of the universe
Is singing the  melody that moves everything Heavenwards

Hushed are the elements and hushed are the creatures
Before all the beauty that this  morning features
Winds in their motion and the iciest formations
Are sounding the echoes of the Divine Inclinations

Chosen to see it: this most beautiful horizon:
Creatures with vision are watching the day brighten
Golden with color and glowing with lightness
Everything is sparkling and mirroring God's likeness

Someone is deceiving us...

Can you not see it: what our anger is doing...?
It's creating an atmosphere where hatred is brewing?
Have we forgotten it: the core of our being
Is to see in each other what the Eternal One is seeing?

Yes, we have forgotten  and have become each other's enemies
Instead of being familial we're infected without  remedies
The media and the television with their subliminal propaganda
Are stirring up our emotions like a ill fated commander

Who can bring healing to our dear divided nation
We're trembling and rallying behind another one's frustration
Edged on by the media, who are looking for another story
We're becoming what they want of us:  a newsclip or something gory

Yes, we have forgotten and have become each other's enemies
Instead of being familial we're infected without  remedies
The media and the television with their subliminal propaganda
Are stirring up our emotions like a ill fated commander

We were once a true nation so closely knit together
We were all working conjunctly despite the storminess or weather
Now we are all dividing up like a nation that is dying
Someone is deceiving us and their messages we  are buying

Yes, we have forgotten  and have become each other's enemies
Instead of being familial we're infected without  remedies
The media and the television with their subliminal propaganda
Are stirring up our emotions like a ill fated commander

Frozen droplets on the run...

Crystal ices on the plants
Sparkling beauties that can dance
Whispering coolness to us all
Temporary diamonds for the Fall

Touch them and they'll disappear
For our viewing they appear
Glistening in the morning light
Radiantly whispering... frosty bright

Frozen droplets on the run
Stopped to visit us:  everyone
Painting beauty all in white:
How often do we see this sight?

So we dance in the Autumn...

Quiet are the wind streams that are heralding the morning
Fall has come upon us without need for any warning
Colors are constantly changing in the trees and in the plants
Yet each of us are aware of this:  it's still okay to dance

So we dance in the Autumn just like the summer days
We sing of her colors and her ever quieting ways
The changing of the seasons so somber and  surreal
Awakens in us the emotions we are so often needing to feel

The squirrels and all the feathered ones are ready for the day
Autumn catches them preparing for the colder winter way
Jumping about and digging through the ground and golden grass
Each one is ready to store away the nourishment they amass

So we dance in the Autumn just like the summer days
We sing of her colors and her ever quieting ways
The changing of the seasons so somber and surreal
Awaken in us the emotions we are so often needing to feel

Layering on the clothing that was once all stacked away
Tells us of those changes that'll come without delay
Cooler breezes blowing in the early morning sky
Challenges us all to reflect upon the season passing by:

So we dance in the Autumn just like the summer days
We sing of her colors and her ever quieting ways
The changing of the seasons so somber and surreal
Awaken in us the emotions we are so often needing to feel

Calling to our spirits

Beautiful are the skies, that are visible to see.
Calling to our spirits, they awaken you and me:
Look up to the Heavens, and search there for awhile:
Awesomeness is speaking, in the most angelic style.

Whispering within the streamlets, of a gentle breeze:
A hundred thousand angels flutter through the trees.
Touching on the universe and leaving us some light,
Guardian spirits linger from morning unto night...

In the hush of morning, before the busiest noise,
Everything is speaking and everything has a voice...
Even the tiniest seedling, and the tiniest little mite
Says something of the wisdom that comes with morning light.

Will we rise and listen and quiet down our mind
Enough to grasp the secrets that instruct us how to find
The happiness and the laughter, the beautifulness and the cheer
That all of the angel spirits are wanting us to hear?

Our lives really matter...

Some days are easy and some days are hard
Some times you feel like you're walking on shard
People will praise you and people will hate
Dealing with life can be a debate

In everything, accept that our life is a gift;
Despite all the heartaches and feelings that shift..
Given  in goodness, and given  with love:
Our lives really matter to the good God Above

Days can become burdensome or be such a joy
Mixed up with heartaches or laughter's own ploy
Disappointing the seeker or giving relief
Life is a journey: long lasting or brief

In everything, accept that our life is a gift;
Despite all the heartaches and feelings that shift..
Given  in goodness, and given  with love:
Our lives really matter to the good God Above

So live every moment and love every hour
Bursting with blessings or painfully sour
Give to the universe and give far and wide
Light from the Omnipotent that's living inside

In everything, accept that our life is a gift;
Despite all the heartaches and feelings that shift..
Given  in goodness, and given  with love:
Our lives really matter to the good God Above

This cold autumn day....

The rains are all falling this cold autumn day
Each raindrop is speaking in its own special way
Whispering through seconds the sighs of our world:
Anxieties and heartbeats and laughters are unfurled

Splashing on plantlets, the droplets all sing
The world is so needy: have you seen everything?
The fighting. the warring, the rioting in streets
The Heavens are crying: oh gather in peace....

The waters are all flowing from here and from there
Echoing the heartaches of people in prayer
Singing the silence, that all need to know
Hear how the raindrops are preaching good flow..

The animals all linger to feel all this rain
Shivering, they see it, the whole world's in pain
Suffering the trauma of people who hate
It's time to be forgiving: its getting too late...

Listen to the universe the creatures the plants
They'll teach you the secret to rhythm and dance
They'll show you the beauty, the answer, the rhyme
So silence your being and turn off all time..

Secrets unveiled...

The winds are whispering the secrets and soundings
Of all the universe: her inhabitants and surroundings
Carrying the heartaches, the laughter, the tears
Breezes are echoing the sighing of years...

Circling the mountains and touching the valleys
Pockets of wind streams are heard in the alleys
Breathing the life breath, the nations are needing
In every new windstorm the weather is pleading...

Hear us oh hear us dear people and nations
The Omnipotent, Almighty has heard your frustrations
In all of the heartbreak the happiness the cheer
The Spirit is present and recycling the atmosphere

All of the elements, the minerals, the fossils
Break through the silence, like missioned apostles
Whispering the wisdom for the wind gusts to carry
Everything is speaking the secrets we bury..

We all love the United States....

We all love the United State  .. the home of "the free"
But if we don't vote your candidate; is there still a democracy?
You cry out for your freedoms, you cry out for your rights
But are the first to instigate the street brawls and the fights?

If we are all of us: the Americans, with freedoms to vote and choose
Why is it there's so much violence.. when others don't share your views
This is what makes us Americans; that makes us the Red, White and Blue:
That while we express our opinions, we allow the same from you

We all love the United State  .. the home of "the free"
But if we don't vote your candidate; is there still a democracy?
You cry out for your freedoms, you cry out for your rights
But are the first to instigate the street brawls and the fights?

So choose well your voter reactions your freedom to expess and talk
But do not destroy the  others who think differently on your block
This is the land of the Constitution;  the land of the bold and the brave
But do not disgrace our  country by your destructiveness that is so graave

We all love the United State  .. the home of "the free"
But if we don't vote your candidate; is there still a democracy?
You cry out for your freedoms, you cry out for your rights
But are the first to instigate the street brawls and the fights?

Instead of violating peaceful lifestyles of those that you're around
Pick up your voter registration and let your opinions  be found
With the ballot and peaceful presence with the solidarity of your vote
Be there for your candidate and be the beliefs you quote...

We all love the United State  .. the home of "the free"
But if we don't vote your candidate; is there still a democracy?
You cry out for your freedoms, you cry out for your rights
But are the first to instigate the street brawls and the fights?

Peace, alone, will save the day

All you people raise your hands
To our God who understands
Hear Him as tries to speak and say
Peace alone will save the day

Yes you're feeling feelings deep inside
Waves of unrest are creating a tide
Of people running here and there
When will My people turn to prayer

All you people raise your hands
To our God who understands
Hear Him as tries to speak and say
Peace alone will save the day

How is this the answer to it all:
Disturbing actions..creating a brawl?
Is this the America that we love
All you people hear God's word of love:

All you people raise your hands
To our God who understands
Hear Him as tries to speak and say
Peace alone will save the day

Without true insight peoples rise
Screaming insults, boisterous cries
Creating divisions instead of peace
All this dissension needs to cease:

All you people raise your hands
To our God who understands
Hear Him as tries to speak and say
Peace alone will save the day

Cries From Within: From the city of Queens.....Donald Trump...

Reposting my post from February 2016

Cries From Within: From the city of Queens.....Donald Trump...: From the city of Queens there quickly arises An unpolitical man with so many surprises Beating the odds with  promises for our nation He ...

Don't vote the Clintons into office again....

Open your eyes and see what is real
Don't let the media dictate and steal
Truth from your spirits grace from your hearts
You are God's children now do your part

Take on the ballot and make heard your voice
Make a bold check mark and present your choice
Don't vote the Clintons into office again..
Who knows what's waiting when lying is in


All of the money in all of the banks
Won't change reality, won't give us thanks
For beyond all the fanfare, beyond all the dust
Angels are reminding us:  truth is a must

Take on the ballot and make heard your voice
Make a bold check mark and present your choice
Don't vote the Clintons into office again
Who knows what's waiting when lying is in

See through the distortions see through the fraud
Listen intently to the great voice of God
Needing no trumpets and needing no crowd
His voice is thundering ...speaking out loud

Take on the ballot and make heard your voice
Make a bold check mark and present your choice
Don't vote the Clintons into office again..
Who knows what's waiting when lying is in

Evening psalm

The hours are waning the daylight is too
The night is upon us: dark pushes through
Bringing us visions of stars in the sky
Listen intently: The angels are nigh...

Quieting moments are bidding us all
To hear how the evening is ready to call
Moving our spirits to refection and rhyme
Angels are asking us: "give us some time"

Off with the tv, the computers, the net
Silence for a moment: you'll never regret
For all of the hours that make up each day
Will never be fruitful... if never we pray

The first hours of morn

Darkness gives way to the brightness of day
All of night's creatures are scurrying away
Rising with the sunlight the birds of the dawn
Sing out their  melodies: short ones and long..

Peeking through windows, the day's morning star
Shines on the sleepers: the near ones and far..
Enlightening the creatures, with warm rays divine;
Foreshadowing the brightness, of Heaven's own shine.

Creeping through grass blades, and crawling around:
Insects are moving through paths on the ground.
Looking for nourishment and ready to run,
We see that the squirrels are all about the fun..

Ready to wake up, the humanity will rise
Stretching and washing and squinting their eyes
Some will be scheming and planning their day
While others will refuse to let sleep slip away

Finally, it's over, the first hours of the morn
Everyone and everything will embrace what is borne
Minutes and hours and the seconds galore
Carrying agendas and schedules and more..

The sounding rains..

The winds are whispering, the universe is speaking
Loads of anguish from the earth is leaking
Over the rivers, into the nations
Clouds are carrying the world's frustrations..

And the sounding rains the sounding rains
Are carrying a mixture of  hope and pains
Inside the mix of the pitter and pattering
We can hear the echo of what should be mattering

The media speaks and we are all believing
The things we hear though they are deceving
The hearts are fooled, the minds are darkened
By storm clouds crying out..oh let us harken: .

And the sounding rains, the sounding rains
Are carrying a mixture of hope and pains
Inside the mix of the pitter and pattering
We can hear the echo of what should be mattering

The time has come to us, and the time is now
We need to sift through the rubbish somehow
Let's not be the foolish let's not remain
Like stragglers who stumble  in the pouring rain

And the sounding rains, the sounding rains
Are carrying a mixture of hope and pains
Inside the mix of the pitter and pattering
We can hear the echo of what should be mattering

The discovery

I held in my hands the dew drops of morning...
They slipped through my fingers without any warning
I tasted the sunrise, the sweetness of daylight;
And watched the horizon transform into midnight

The soundings of creatures, the whispers of plantlets
Spoke to my spirit without any antics.
Inside of the meadows and green winding pathways
I saw all the footprints of present and past days

The rhythmn of nature and melody of spirits
Were echoing through moments and singing through minutes
Challenging the people: the countless, the masses;
To pause and take notice of everything that passess..

The calling of prophets and wisdom of nations
Comes out like an earthquake with so many vibrations
Touching the hungry, with food for the spirit
All of the universe is a nourishing glisten

And all of the world will finally sing it...

Hear the whispering in the wind streams
Speaking secretly of the angelic dreams
In the sparkling and in the grass blades
Heaven's answer to all of  the stock trades

And all the world will finally sing it
Every sounding of the Great Spirit
In all of the hallways and on the highways
In every place and in all of  the byways

Not on wall street or in the great malls
Are the choicest of the investment calls
For in the glimmering of the birds singing
Are the treasures which earth is bringing...

And all the world will finally sing it
Every sounding of the Great Spirit
In all of the hallways and on the highways
In every place and in all of the byways

So sing we silently of  the universe
Singing it melodies, singing its  traverse
Touching its tenderness, hearing its greatness
Speaking  most bravely against all   hateness

And all the world will finally sing it
Every sounding of the Great Spirit
In all of  the hallways and on the highways
In every place and in all of  the byways

Changing seasons...

See the leaves, they're falling down
Carpeting earth without a sound
Graceful, quiet,  unafraid
Humble in their work displayed...

Golden energy  all around
In the plants and on the ground
From the sun, so way up high..
In every creature passing by..

Changing seasons we will know
Continuing signs of cosmic flow
Winter, spring, summer,fall
Every season has its call

Autumn's glow

Crisp are the leaves that speak beneath my feet
Cool is the air in the breezes that I meet
Soft are the songs that sail below the sky
All the world is watching the Autumn passing by

Gone are the flowers from summer's bright array
Quick are the geese to soar off to warmer day
Golden are the leaves that are falling to the ground
Somber tones are speaking of changes all around...

Soon the chilly winter will slide into our lives
And bring us colder weather and figurines of ice
All the seasons alter something that we know
But bring us so much beauty enhancing all the flow

Winter winds, ice and snow

Cooler winds are coming in
Golden colors shine out again
Geese are flying south and all
The creatures know what follows Fall...

Winter winds ice and snow
Cooler colors flow and flow
Frozen figures ice and sleet
Glassy waters on the street

Out to work or in to stay
Warmer clothes are on display
Toasty heaters blankets too
Remind us clearly: Fall is through..

Winter winds ice and snow
Cooler colors flow and flow
Frozen figures ice and sleet
Glassy waters on the street

Then the celebrations most dear
Fill our hearts with love and cheer
Trees with presents or some  Gift
From the Heavens completes this shift

Winter winds, ice and snow
Cooler colors flow and flow
Frozen figures, ice and sleet
Glassy waters on the street

But the sun will rise, yes the sun will rise...

Disappointments have come along your fragile way
And the stormy rain clouds have started to invade your day
The tears, the tears continue their flow of showering down
You haven't had anything nice to wear at home or into town..

But the sun will rise, yes the sun will rise
Behind every darkened cloud an astro still awaits our eyes
Warming up the atoms and the entire atmosphere
A hope still shines for us all for all of us gathered here

The promises of the other day have all started to fall apart
You've waited for hours; only to feel the greatest let down in your heart
The people you trusted in, who you put your entire investments in
Would be the ones who'd push you into that darkened state within

But the sun will rise, yes the sun will rise
Behind every darkened cloud, an astro still awaits our eyes
Warming up the atoms and the entire atmosphere
A hope still shines for us all for all of us gathered here

You look at your bank accounts and see nothing in the savings side
The amount of bills, you have, keep piling up like a rising tide
Concern for the morning and all of the up and coming challenges
Keeps you beneath those covers where all life seems to find its balances

But the sun will rise, yes the sun will rise
Behind every darkened cloud, an astro still awaits our eyes
Warming up the atoms and the entire atmosphere
A hope still shines for us all for all of us gathered here

It cannot be bought...

Have you heard it or have you seen it
All around us: God's loving Spirit
In the created and in the universe
Sounds of Heaven so sweetly disperse..

And the melody of the angelic
Spreading far and spreading wide
Speaks to everyone of the manna
That holds the Everlasting deep inside

We the hungry and we the thirsty
Are seeking something we cannot see
In the elements and in every atom
Is the nourishment..that'll never fatten.

And the melody of the angelic
Spreading far and spreading wide
Speaks to everyone of the manna
That holds the Everlasting deep inside

We the foolish will run and purchase
Things that sparkle, just on the surface
But what is needed and truly valuable
We see as hindrances to what is rational..

And the melody of the angelic
Spreading far and spreading wide
Speaks to everyone of the manna
That holds the Everlasting deep inside 

Would you be my friend?

Would you be my friend someone who is real
Can I call on you and tell you how I feel
Will you close me down or will you show you care
Sometimes I am wondering how much you want to share

Will you be my friend..will you be my friend?
Someone I can count on till the very end?

In my darkest hours and in my troubling times
Will you be the one who gives hope to all my rhymes
Would you sit with me without worrying about the clock
Do you have the time to let me talk and talk...

Will you be my friend..will you be my friend?
Someone I can count on till  the very end..

Never preaching loudly... never putting me down
Will you be that person ?Will you hang around:
Not only in the good times but also in the bad:
Be for me the best friend I've ever known or had?

Will you be my friend.. will you be my friend?
Someone I can count on till the very end..

Listen to the angels...

The hours of the evening are turning to day
Morning is breaking and night turns away
All of the angels are coming so near
Whispering their secrets: we hasten to hear

Startling the sleepers and waking the dawn
Angels from Heaven are riding a fawn
Sprinkling their energy and singing their song
Angels are ready with their army so strong

Up in the skylights and shining below
Streamlets of sunshine are letting us know
That time has arrived for us to rouse from our sleep
Hear them, these guardians; their melodies are deep...

Off in the distance but here very close
The angels are bidding us to keep on our toes
For the evil one is lurking and wanting us to hear
His deal and his promises: his deception is clear..

So stay you alert and you'll never go wrong
With the guidance of angels; the whole heavenly throng
They'll guard you and protect you and teach you the way
That leads you to Happiness and the unending day.

Earthen Canticle

The sky, the sun, the moon, the earth
Sing of love and sing of birth
The trees the flowers the air the plants
Invite us all to join their dance

The sea the waves the flowing breeze
And every creature inside the trees
Everything living and everything that's not
Reminds us of One that we've forgot

The silence and stillness are shouting out loud
To every person and to every crowd
Carrying a message and an echo Divine
We are all a portion of this Endless Shrine

He's been good to me....

The hours of each morning are challenging me
To taste of the manna ..to taste it and see:
The awesomeness, the glory, the endless display
Of Godness and Wisdom: the beauty of each day

So with my hands lifted with my eyes on the sky
I lift up my gratitude and let out this cry
I'm grateful, I'm gifted: with all that I see..
I thank Him, the Almighty, He's been  good to me..

With food for my nourishment and  roof over my head
I feel it, the wonderfulness, when leaving my bed
I see how the atoms, with their motions in place
Create this good atmosphere and carry God's grace

So with my hands lifted, with my eyes on the sky
I lift up my gratitude and let out this cry
I'm grateful, I'm gifted with all that I see
I thank Him, the Almighty, He's been good to me

The whispering of wind streams, the birds in the air
Remind me of  angels who are everywhere
And if I am careful, if ready and still
I'll hear them the secrets of Heaven: For real...

So with my hands lifted with my eyes on the sky
I lift up my gratitude and let out this cry
I'm grateful, I'm gifted with all of that I see
I thank Him the Almighty He's been  good to me

And the sun comes out...

The storm has gone and it has  passed
But remnants of it presence last
Only  pieces of our fear remain
Time will restore our peace again

And the sun comes out; the sun comes out
Without a boast without a shout
Bringing warmth and bringing love
From its place way up above.

Our hopes are all gone: in a flash
Something comes with the loss of cash
Panic comes and we wonder how
We'll survive this trial before us now:

And the sun comes out; the sun comes out
Without a boast, without a shout
Bringing warmth and bringing love
From its place way up above

It takes great faith and it takes great trust
To see beyond: but we must
For in the blindness and in the night
Things are happening that bring us the Light

And the sun comes out, the sun comes out
Without a boast, without a shout
Bringing warmth and bringing love
From its place, way up above

When all is said and when all is done
There is a path that we all must run
Some days are happy and some are sad
But in every moment there's grace to be had.

And the sun comes out, the sun comes out
Without a boast, without a shout
Bringing warmth and bringing love
From its place, way up above

And I will be hearing you.....

And I will be hearing you and I will be your healing
Everything your saying and everything your revealing
Will find in Me an openness and readiness to hear
For I am your Friend child I'm ready and near..

Give me your heart and give me your hurt
All of those moments when you felt like you were dirt
Give me your sorrows and give me your joys
All of your moments will have their own voice

And I will be hearing you and I will be your healing
Everything your saying and everything your revealing
Will find in Me an openness and readiness to hear
For I am your Friend child I'm ready and near..

Today's a new moment and today's a new day
Gone are those moments when you're alone and afraid
For you have a new partner and you have a new space
Where you can find comfort and show your true face

And I will be hearing you and I will be your healing
Everything your saying and everything your revealing
Will find in Me an openness and readiness to hear
For I am your Friend child I'm ready and near..

Let go of your worries and let go of your fear
Bring every concern you have, bring them all here..
I will resolve them  and I will be near
Whenever You call Me.   .no excuses you'll hear..

And I will be hearing you and I will be your healing
Everything your saying and everything your revealing
Will find in Me an openness and readiness to hear
For I am your Friend child I'm ready and near..

The Last Day.....

The skies opened up and out came God's love
All of His Goodness was descending from Above
Whispering out wisdom and touching each place
God called on all spirits to enter His Grace..

And all of God's Glory was circling around
In everything living God's Spirit was found
And all were uniting and all were in peace
For God had accomplished what He had decreed

The people were watching and waiting in prayer
The skies all collided with an outburst of air
Signs in the Heavens and stars up above
Whispered the anthem, "we're all made for love"

And all of God's Glory was circling around
In everything living God's Spirit was found
And all were uniting and all were in peace
For God had accomplished what He had decreed

Gone were those moments when everyone cried
About prejudice and hatred and rights being denied
Gone were those armies, those agents of war
Who shattered earth's families and shook up earth's floor

And all of God's Glory was circling around
In everything living God's Spirit was found
And all were uniting and all were in peace
For God had accomplished what He had decreed

The angels were present with many and all
Who lived from the beginning: the great and the small
The important the forgotten the famous and not
Everyone was present to receive what they sought

And all of God's Glory was circling around
In everything living God's Spirit was found
And all were uniting and all were in peace
For God had accomplished what He had decreed

Hurricane Matthew

Matthew's crawling up the coast
With its winds and with its boast
Carrying terror carrying wind
Challenging people again and again

To the warnings pay you heed
Don't neglect the time you need
Nothing's precious far or near
More than you are. Think and hear..

As the tides and wind streams flow
Coasts and houses will sink below
All remaining in its path
Will experience Matthew's wrath

Time for martyrs this is not
Gather together what you've got
Run from Matthew run away
Till this storm has stopped its stay

The Autumn Dawn

Listen and be silent, before the waking dawn.
Melodies, of evening, are finally past and gone...
Creatures are rustling, through leaves and fading grass.
Hear it, the morning, she sings the songs that last...

Feel it, the whisper, of wind upon your face
It leaves there, an imprint, you will  not want to erase.
Carrying, the healing, the touch of lasting grace
Breezes transform things in every time and place...

Rise up and wait now: you do not have to rush...
Take time, to see it,  the colors from Heaven's brush.
Splashed out, on the horizon, and glowing in the sky
Beauty and splendor created for you and I..

The universe will call us ..

In the many elements, and  the cosmos all around
Are heard the many echoes of the  ever sounding sound
In the creatures, in  the plant life, in  the waters near and far
We hear the constant echo:  "come hear us where we are"

And all the world will sing it and all the world will dance
Inviting every person to join this rhythmic chance
Uniting every creature and uniting everyone 
The universe will call us: "let warring words be done"

In  the flowing waters and in the majestic sea
The splash of rhythmic soundings are calling you and me
Whispering through the creatures and whispering through the wind
It's time for everybody to take this peace song in:

And all the world will sing it and all the world will dance
Inviting every person to join this rhythmic chance
Uniting every creature and uniting everyone 
The universe will call us: "let warring words be done"

In the tiniest flowers and in the grandest tree
Echoes of the Almighty are challenging you and me
Hear these invitations and hear this call for peace
All the world is waiting for the fighting to finally cease

And all the world will sing it and all the world will dance
Inviting every person to join this rhythmic chance
Uniting every creature and uniting everyone 
The universe will call us:  "let warring words be done"

Until the world is silent and all the eyes are shut
The angels all around us will raise their voices up
And cry out with the Heavens and all the universe
Everyone here is equal and no one is the first..

And all the world will sing it and all the world will dance
Inviting every person to join this rhythmic chance
Uniting every creature and uniting everyone 
The universe will call us: "let warring words be done"

The visions we need....

Grab hold of  the wind, oh where is it going?
All of its elements: what are they showing?
Sounding and streaming and moving around:
Breezes are whispering and shouting some sound?

Touch, all the sky, and lasso its blueness...
Splashed out from Heaven for me and for:  you-ness
Highlighting the created and never afraid
The abode, up above us, is God's love displayed.

Hear the creatures? Their sounds all surround us
We are so amazed at how often they've found us...
Soothing the plant-lets and riding  the breeze
See how the insects take hold of the trees...

Everything's moving... the morning is awakening...
So much in our universe is creatively shaping:
The beauty, the atmosphere, the world that we see.
Will we have the time for the visions we need?

Things don't really matter...

Looking all around you you can surely see
People you have influenced though unknowingly
Keep up with  your giving, keep up with your care
Things don't really matter for the one who seeks to share

At times you feeling helpless like nothing really works
You've put in all the hours labored for your deserts
Yet in everything you're finding,a selfishness competes
With everything you're doing..  your honor: someone seeks..

Looking all around you you can surely see
People you have influenced though unknowingly
Keep up with  your giving, keep up with your care
Things don't really matter for the one who seeks to share

The hour that you're defeated rise up and be that shine
For everyone who's known it: that disappointing time,,,
Be for the broken failure:  that ray of hope and love
Tell the sullen striver, "tomorrow you'll rise above"...

Looking all around you you can surely see
People you have influenced though unknowingly
Keep up with  your giving, keep up with your care
Things don't really matter for the one who seeks to share

Each person has a mission a moment they're meant to make
No one is ever irrelevant, no one is ever  a mistake
Everyone has their glory their time of great applause
Be sure you'll have your honors others will see and pause

Looking all around you you can surely see
People you have influenced though unknowingly
Keep up with  your giving, keep up with your care
Things don't really matter for the one who seeks to share

A sea of fire...

A sea of fire was all around
In every city and in every town
It was surprising it was a sight
No one expected it come that night..

And all the people let out a cry
To the  God above the earth and sky
The world, it sunk, into earth's floor
Unforgiveness blocked the Heavenly door

A sea of fire was all around
In every city and in every town
It was surprising it was a sight
No one expected it come that night..

With hateful words and lives of greed
The world rejected the Heavenly seed
Embracing darkness as though it were light
Earth fell a victim to the evil one's plight

A sea of fire was all around
In every city and in every town
It was surprising it was a sight
No one expected it come that night..

The greatest sin, the sin that cries
And fools the people with its disguise
Is the one that keads the call
To reject the rule of love for all

A sea of fire was all around
In every city and in every town
It was surprising it was a sight
No one expected it come that night..

Your death left me hurting...

For all those who lost a special someone

Your hands were so frozen as I ventured to touch
Gone was your light that I loved so very much
Words were not spoken as you lay there so still
I still see that moment; how awful I did feel

Your death left me hurting your passing did hurt
My eyes welled up quickly as they shoveled that dirt
Leaving your body and your remains in the ground
Left me to gather up what memories were around

The news came so quickly and left me in shock
I didn't even expect it; you were always a rock
Now you're being taken, to a time I cannot go
Till life lets me follow: I will be missing you so..

Your death left me hurting your passing did hurt
My eyes welled up quickly as they shoveled that dirt
Leaving your body and your remains in the ground
Left me to gather up what memories were around

Today I am remembering all the good times we had
How you always seem to know it: whenever I was sad
That way you would uplift me the times we would smile
It's hard to believe it; it will take me awhile

Your death left me hurting your passing did hurt
My eyes welled up quickly as they shoveled that dirt
Leaving your body and your remains in the ground
Left me to gather up what memories were around

For all of my being, from inside to out...

I know you are worried, I feel all your fears
Every moment is echoing the sound of your tears
I cannot ignore it and I cannot be blind
Something inside me says: "reach out and be kind"

For all of my being, from  inside to out
Is asking me to see what this sorrowing's about
I cannot be indifferent I cannot be the same
When seeing such heartbreak attached to your name...

The moments, the hours are dragging it's true
You're feeling so empty in all that you do
You're looking for comfort for some kind of friend
I'm here and I'm ready: your friend to the end..

For all of my being, from  inside to out
Is asking me to see what this sorrowing's about
I cannot be indifferent I cannot be the same
When seeing such heartbreak attached to your name...

If ever you're lonely and feeling afraid
I'll whisper the whispers and heal what's betrayed
I'll be there beside you, I'll be there all day
Till all that is frightening is frightened away..

For all of my being, from  inside to out
Is asking me to see what this sorrowing's about
I cannot be indifferent I cannot be the same
When seeing such heartbreak attached to your name...

The time is now, the day is here....

Close your eyes and enter  inside
Silence those storms..the world outside
Then you'll see,, you'll hear, you'll hear:
The path, the way, outside your fear..

The time is now,  the day is here
Cast away worries. cast away fear
Reach out to others: reach out, reach out
There's no longer a need, to fight, to shout...

The world, it rumors: the coming of war;
Bloodshed and violence has come ashore.
People are fighting for  rights for needs
Yet no one can hear the one who  pleads:

The time is now,  the day is here
Cast away worries. cast away fear
Reach out to others: reach out, reach out
There's no longer a need, to fight, to shout...

Tomorrow is waiting for us to see
The lessons we've learned: our history
Nothing is ended by fighting, by war..
When will we shut the destructive door.?

The time is now,  the day is here
Cast away worries. cast away fear
Reach out to others: reach out, reach out
There's no longer a need, to fight, to shout....

So close your eyes and silence your mind
Hear how the angels challenge mankind
Their message so clear, it is for all :
"Drop all  your weapons. We beg. we call"

The time is now,  the day is here
Cast away worries. cast away fear
Reach out to others: reach out, reach out
There's no longer a need, to fight, to shout...

Tears from Heaven soak the ground

Tears from Heaven soak the ground
Upsetting violence is all around
Unjust shootings, hatreds too
Please dear Jesus we need You

Just this morning inside the news
I saw the heart break: it is true
People fighting into the night
Local cities:lit up bright

Tears from Heaven soak the ground
Upsetting violence is all around
Unjust shootings, hatreds too
Please dear Jesus we need You

Too many people, hurt, afraid..
Watch the bullets see the grave
We the people...  the USA
Are seeking justice: a better day

Tears from Heaven soak the ground
Upsetting violence is all around
Unjust shootings, hatreds too
Please dear Jesus we need You

Something's missing, something's wrong
The list of victims: way too too long
Cries for justice, crowded streets:
We're needing a retraining of the police...

Tears from Heaven soak the ground
Upsetting violence is all around
Unjust shootings, hatreds too
Please dear Jesus we need You

You and I, we are the same..

You and I we are the same
Though we are different: in size, in name
We are one and yet we're two
Created by One who created all: it's true

The fights we have,  the wars we see;
Are not what life was meant to be
Our hearts were made: to love,  to share;
And yet, we fight to own: the land the air

You and I, we are the same
Though we are different: in size, in name
We are one and yet we're two
Created by One who created all: it's true

The gifts we have weren't meant to be
A reason to boast..incessantly
We were created to love, to live;
Without that greed that fails to give...

You and I, we are the same
Though we are different: in size, in name
We are  one and yet we're two
Created by One who created all: it's true

The creeds we hold, the colors of skin
Shouldn't influence our judgment within
But, a love for all and  for everyone;
Should be our shout till life is done..

You and I, we are the same
Though we are different: in size, in name
We are  one and yet we're two
Created by One who created all: it's true

The Heavens will watch over you....

The Heavens will watch over you 
Help you through every storm you go through
Those storm clouds that take over your sky
Will move on and pass you by

I see those tears, that saddened heart..
Anxiety is piercing you, like a dart.
Seeking some insight: your mind feels so dull
Your cup of hurtness, is all too full

The Heavens will watch over you: 
Helping you through every storm, you'll go through
Those storm clouds that take over your sky
Will move on and pass you by

The plans you were making have just died down
All of your hopes are falling upon the ground
People you care about, don't seem to  understand
You're feeling like a  lonely  "one man band"

The Heavens will watch over you: 
Helping you through every storm, you'll go through
Those storm clouds that take over your sky
Will move on and pass you by

Come now and put all those worries aside
His Heart is there for you: won't you go inside..?
Lots of Love will lavishly overflow
God is the One you need to know

The Heavens will watch over you: 
Helping you through every storm, you'll go through
Those storm clouds that take over your sky
Will move on and pass you by

Someone should be watching

Oh, oh, oh, hear the warnings in the wind
Something is now brewing and our peace is wearing thin
All the world is bracing and the war is at our door
Someone should be watching..the shoes that pace our floor

Who is there among us that knows the inner need
To hear what goes unnoticed, what functions like a seed
People coming forward like friends we need to know
Can also be the wolves whose colors never show..

Oh, oh, oh,  hear the warnings in the wind
Something is now brewing, and our peace is wearing thin
All the world is bracing and the war is at our door
Someone should be watching..the shoes that pace our floor

Have you begun to wonder and felt the need to test
The validity of people who are causing such unrest
Something in their being and something in their air
Tells us we should worry and should be more aware

Oh, oh, oh,  hear the warnings in the wind
Something is now brewing, and our peace is wearing thin
All the world is bracing and the war is at our door
Someone should be watching..the shoes that pace our floor

Like the subtle soundings of the dew upon the ground
Warnings come to whisper about tragedies all around
The sky is turning colors we've never seen before
The earth is bound to see it: the most outrageous war

Oh, oh, oh,  hear the warnings in the wind
Something is now brewing, and our peace is wearing thin
All the world is bracing and the war is at our door
Someone should be watching..the shoes that pace our floor

We need the darkness and we need the day....

Skies up above me are all turning to gray
Clouds gather together with so much to say
Darkness is descending and creating some night
Moon from a distance is sharing her light...

And the night creatures scamper and jump all around
Lights from the city are flickering without sound
Things once so inanimate are now coming alive
We need the darkness and the day light to survive

Scampering through dry leaves and searching the sky
Hoot owls are seeking some nourishment nearby
Creepy crawlies are slithering and mouses all run
Night brings its action when day time is done...

And the night creatures scamper and jump all around
Lights from the city are flickering without sound
Things once so inanimate are now coming alive
We need the darkness and the day light to survive

Seeds in their darkness are starting to wake
Planted in the daylight the night air will shake
Seedlings and seed pods and leaves on the trees
Darkness is frightening but One always sees

And the night creatures scamper and jump all around
Lights from the city are flickering without sound
Things once so inanimate are now coming alive
We need the darkness and the day light to survive

Both daylight and darkness are part of a whole
Like graces and trials can both help the soul
Nothing is useless and all things can be
Stepping stones that lead us to our Eternity

And the night creatures scamper and jump all around
Lights from the city are flickering without sound
Things once so inanimate are now coming alive
We  need the darkness and the day light to survive

Quiet your mind

Start off your day within some  peace
Quiet your mind and then release
Listen to what the wind can say
Messages from far far away

Break out of that old, old routine
Rushing should stop; you know what I mean?
Replace that first urge with some calm
Listen to your rhythm slowing down

Don't turn on all of that stuff
Wait a half hour: it'll be a little rough
But beginning with quiet will win the prize
That will bless your enterprise

So, tell me  will you  be slowing down?
It's not necessary to run and run around
There's something about the calmer pace
That puts you ahead without the race..

No one's an orphan

Tears on your pillow tears in your eyes
Heaven has seen them,heard all your cries
No one's an orphan and no one's alone
All of your heartaches, our God has known

You're feeling forsaken like nobody cares
People with agendas put on their airs
Humbled and hopeless and losing the fight
Eyes are too swollen to see things aright

Tears on your pillow, tears in your eyes
Heaven has seen them; heard all your cries.
No one's an orphan, and no one's alone
All of your heartaches, our God has known

Wishes are washed up and dreaming is done
You've lost all your courage and gave up the run
Cowering beneath it: the burden of  hurt
People have promised but broken their word

Tears on your pillow, tears in your eyes
Heaven has seen them; heard all your cries...
No one's an orphan and no one's alone
All of your heartaches, our God has known

So pick up those pieces, all that are left
Swallow life's medicine,  hard to digest
Stronger you'll rise up and stronger you'll be
If you use all these sorrows, like Vitamin C...

Tears on your pillow, tears in your eyes
Heaven has seen them; heard all your cries..
No one's an orphan and no one's alone
All of your heartaches, our God has known.

And the Autumn wind will sing out loud...

The golden colors are whispering to everyone who passes by
"See, oh see, the fall is here; and summer is ready to fly..
The coolness, of the Autumn wind, touching the plants and trees
Says that soon we'll witness it: the falling of the leaves

And the Autumn wind will sing out loud, her never ending song:
"Colors will fade for just awhile; but, not for very long.."
The Fall is here to transition us,  to ready us for that sleep:
That winter is bringing with her chill that touches us so so deep

Colors are changing from green to gold as days are slipping away
Creatures are filling their storage bins while in between they play
Squirrels are jumping here and there while the bees all disappear
Something is in the somberness that says: "Fall's already here"

And the Autumn wind will sing out loud, her never ending song
Colors will fade for just awhile but not for very long
The Fall is here to transition us to ready us for that sleep
That winter is bringing, with her chill, that touches us  so so deep

The grass is starting to fade away and the ambient is becoming  still
Something inside the atmosphere is creating an autumn feel
Though summer is here, a few more days: the leaves are ready to drop..
Before you know it, the Autumn will sing and all the world will stop

And the Autumn wind will sing out loud, her never ending song:
Colors will fade, for just awhile; but not for very long
The Fall is here to transition us, to ready us for that sleep:
That winter is bringing with her chill that touches us so so deep

Once a day you need this

Slow down all of your thinking and quiet all your being
Close off all the windows and block out what you're seeing
Let in all of the quietness and let in all the peace
Shut down all the noisiness the anxiety now release..

Slow down all of your actions and cut off all the noise
Whisper in the silence; let your breathing be your voice
See inside your spirit, what the world outside can't show
Come now hear the wisdom that the angels want you to know

Slow down all the elements the atoms and the wind
Let every one of your actions reflect the  stillness that's within
It is a time for  hearing and it is a time to see
Once a day you need this, this time for inner peace...

And all the angels cried out

I began to hear the cries of a hundred million people
Looking for a home, in a land that lost its steeple
Pludging through the nightmare that left them on the road
Has there ever been in history, a sadder story told?

And all the angels cried  out, at the sight of so many broken
They waded through the deluge of so many words unspoken
So much anger; disappointment; so much utter desolation
The world was becoming a victim of some rolling intimidation

Across the waters rose up the sound of so many an orphan
Parents were taken in numbers as the hatred continued to worsen
A heartless band of warriors who were claiming to be of God
Created a flowing river that reddened the road they  trod

And all the angels cried out,  at the sight of so many broken
They waded through the deluge of so many words unspoken
So much anger; disappointment; so much utter desolation
The world had become a victim of some rolling intimidation

When finally the plagues were ended and the evil  was abated
There were writings in the sky that spoke of a time so long awaited
And a throng of Heavenly beings, with their  armor all of gold
Gathered up, all of the faithful, who were living as God had told

And all the angels cried out,  at the sight of so many broken
They waded through the deluge of so many words unspoken
So much anger; disappointment; so much utter desolation
The world was no longer a victim of some rolling intimidation
