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?
