Warnings

I opened my eyes and I finally saw 
The Omnipotent Creator, the Giver of all
He spoke to my spirit, He filled me with awe
I opened my eyes, and I finally saw..

The night was all darkness and the day was unclear
Storms were approaching from what I could hear
The forecast was  ominous;  the atmosphere ripe
A mighty mighty windstorm was coming tonight..

I opened my eyes and I finally saw 
The Omnipotent Creator, the Giver of all
He spoke to my spirit, He filled me with awe
I opened my eyes, and I finally saw..

The trees, were all bending; the earth it did shake
Tremors and rumbles, preceded a quake
The skies were all darkness; the air was all  thick
Within my own chambers, I whispered and hid

I opened my eyes and I finally saw 
The Omnipotent Creator, the Giver of all
He spoke to my spirit, He filled me with awe
I opened my eyes, and I finally saw..

The machines were all rumbling and bombs did explode
The future was present in a mystical mode
People were fighting for reasons unknown
Something was happening:  my spirit  was shown

I opened my eyes and I finally saw 
The Omnipotent Creator, the Giver of all
He spoke to my spirit, He filled me with awe
I opened my eyes, and I finally saw..

The future was mingled within the present its clear
Warnings from Heaven will come for all here.
We have it within us to ward off this plight
It comes in a vision to give us some sight

I opened my eyes and I finally saw 
The Omnipotent Creator, the Giver of all
He spoke to my spirit, He filled me with awe
I opened my eyes, and I finally saw..

So let us start loving while loving,  we can
Giving to each other without malice in hand
Sharing and caring and all that is good
Let us start doing this: we know that we should

I opened my eyes and I finally saw 
The Omnipotent Creator, the Giver of all
He spoke to my spirit, He filled me with awe
I opened my eyes, and I finally saw.

And today we celebrate

           For two dear people 
who will  celebrate their anniversary..
          tomorrow


When I said to you, "I do"
I was only thinking of you
You and I together
Our life as one forever

And today we celebrate
Our glorious wedding date
We join again once more
Our hearts forever more

More than a decade ago
We solidified this, you know
And it seems like yesterday
You and I were celebrating this day

And today we celebrate
Our glorious wedding date
We join again once more
Our hearts forever more

We embrace each night and day
Committed in every way
Loving each other, it is true
With one unending "I love you"

And today we celebrate
Our glorious wedding date
We join again once more
Our hearts forever more

Before the break of dawn
Or when the moonlight's gone
We've been here for each other
We are each other's buffer

And today we celebrate
Our glorious wedding date
We join again once more
Our hearts forever more

Take the dagger from my heart

This is not about me...

Take the dagger from my heart
As you're leaving and depart
Remember how I always cared
Made the time and freely shared..

Now,you tell me, that you're done:
A temper tantrum.. then you run
A little thing, along the way:
Makes you shout and run away?

Take the dagger from my heart
As you're leaving and depart
Remember how I always cared
Made the time and freely shared..

Would that you would hear me out
And not run off with such a pout
Everything could turn out fine
If you'd listen: you'd be mine

Take the dagger from my heart
As you're leaving and depart
Remember how I always cared
Made the time and freely shared..

Everything is not a game
Love is more than just a name
Taking time  to decompress
Could have saved us from this mess.

Take the dagger from my heart
As you're leaving and depart
Remember how I always cared
Made the time and freely shared..

Tomorrow morn when you're alone
And you recall the love I've shone
You will want to make amends
And return to just being friends

Take the dagger from my heart
As you're leaving and depart
Remember how I always cared
Made the time and freely shared..

Just because you can't be right
Doesn't mean you must take flight..
Sometimes we must let it go
Compromise and heal the soul..

Take the dagger from my heart
As you're leaving and depart
Remember how I always cared
Made the time and freely shared..

When you're sitting all alone
Feeling mad and cold as stone
Remember that  it was I who wanted more
You got mad and slammed the door

Morning muse......

Crickets humming so so sweet
Morning hears them and they meet
Quietly rising, gentle sun
Shines its warmth on everyone.

Soft the radiance, blue the sky
Birds, already, are passing by
Chirps and tweets and lovely song
Invite us all to sing along

Green the grasses and the trees
That soothe the eyes and appease...
Senses waking and we see
That God is good to you and me

Count the moments: one, two, three ....
How many seconds,pass and flee?
Hours and days and month's pass by:
Who can measure earth or sky?

When the day is bright and clear
Or the night is drawing near
Some there are who'll never sleep
They are here to watch and keep

Finally when the day is done
And the darkness covers the sun
We will rest to rise again
Will we see the dawn begin?

Stop for a moment...

Touch the sky and feel the air
See God's beauty, it's  everywhere
Hear the sparrows and see them fly
All of God's beauty is passing us by

The days come quickly, the nights do too
So much activity for us to do
Yet in all we do and in all we say
Beauty is calling us to come away:

A soundless vapor and a breath of air
Is whispering a mystery,  here and there
The tiniest element and the grandest sea
Are all an echo of God's Great Divinity

So silence your scurrying and still your feet
Take a moment to savor,  a moment to eat
The delicate morsels of heart and mind
That silence has brought us but shopping can't find

He is both our Mommy and our Dad..

Every single cell and molecule, every breath of amazing air..
Everything that is around us, and everything that's everywhere
The highest boldest boulder and the mightiest roaring sea
Everything that is and will be.. is always  echoing to you and me:

That God is always loving  and that God is always here
He's always interceding; whenever we need Him, He's near
He's present in all  our good times; He's present in all the bad
He's here forever to help us... He is both our Mommy and our Dad...

So let us become more observant and be more faithful and more kind
Let us be careful to reflect that intelligence that made our mind
Let us be joyful in all of our giving and be quiet with all of our pride
Let us be the ones who aren't afraid to tell the world and all outside

That God is always loving  and that God is always here
He's always interceding; whenever we need Him, He's near
He's present in all  our good times; He's present in all the bad
He's here forever to help us... He is both our Mommy and our Dad...

Whenever you're happy or grieving, whenever you're awake or asleep
Whenever you see the sunrise or the shadows of night that creep
Whenever you're speaking or singing, whenever you're silent or still
Whenever you are conscience or able..be ready to share this with skill:

That God is always loving  and that God is always here
He's always interceding; whenever we need Him, He's near
He's present in all  our good times; He's present in all the bad
He's here forever to help us ...He is both our Mommy and our Dad...

With a bond that never breaks

Before the hours can become noisy
before the day time has ever begun
I hear all the universe, she is speaking:
the creatures and plantlets, one by one
They are whispering with voices unaltered;
with energies, so peacefully serene..
Before all the world can wake and become frazzled;
 The Canvas of Life in her purity is seen

So we sing with the world that is now waking
We dance with the rhythm that it makes
We move with the plantlets that are now shaking
We're connecting with a bond that never breaks...

At a distance, the sun paints all the horizon,
with its beams so beautifully gold..
The earth, she's glowing  with a radiance;
that no jeweler has ever captured or sold
The created, right here or at a distance;
the cosmos, and the universe and our soul
Speak with the energies that are within us:
each one, so different, but having one goal ..

So we sing with the world that is now waking
We dance with the rhythm that it makes
We move with the plantlets that are now shaking
We're connecting with a bond that never breaks...

Like a gift that has been carefully packaged,
or a note that is written with love
The Creator has entrusted us with this mission:
this mandate from His  Portal Above
That we would cherish and bless one another,
 that we should look after each other with care
We should be striving to be more loving and reflective,
of everything our Good God chose to share

So we sing with the world that is now waking
We dance with the rhythm that it makes
We move with the plantlets that are now shaking
We're connecting with a bond that never breaks...

Dear Politicians....

Why can't we .. just get along?
That's the reason for this song: 
So much violence, so much hate..
People fighting: all irate

TV News Lights up the screen
Words are violent and so mean
Instead of loving, we all swear
There's a reason not to care..?

Why can't we ..just get along?
That's the reason for this song: 
So much violence, so much hate..
People fighting: all irate

On our media day by day
Awfulness is on display
Picking prodding disgusting news
Tiring everyone: gives the blues

Why can't we all just get along?
That's the reason for this song: 
So much violence, so much hate..
People fighting: all irate

Left side, right side, in between:
Political nonsense on the screen;
How much longer must we bare,
All this bickering is not fair..

Why can't we..just get along?
That's the reason for this song: 
So much violence, so much hate..
People fighting: all irate

President elect,  is in the seat:
Come together and let us meet...
Rivaling senators, isn't true
We were expecting more from you ....

Why can't we..just get along?
That's the reason for this song: 
So much violence, so much hate..
People fighting: all irate

Solve the poverty, demolish war;
Crush the taxes, we implore;
But this fighting, that we see,
How's it helping you or  me?

Why can't we ..just get along?
That's the reason for this song: 
So much violence, so much hate..
People fighting: all irate

So much noisiness,  so much wrong:
With a nation, that should get along,,,
We're rushing to  help the world: out there
But it's here: that's broken... be aware

Why can't we ..just get along?
That's the reason for this song: 
So much violence, so much hate..
People fighting: all irate

I'm walking away

Know when to walk away!!

You have my number, and you know my name
It isn't a mystery; it's always the same
Why won't you call me; why won't you care
Show me you're willing: "To always be there".

I saw you were typing on Facebook  today
Yet you were insistent: you hadn't a way
To speak for a moment or whisper hello
Something inside says: "let this one go"..

You have my number, and you know my name
It isn't a mystery; it's always the same
Why won't you call me; why won't you care
Show me you're willing: "To always be there".

Too much of the talking; but nothing to show
You whisper: I love you; but how would I know?
You're busier than ever; whenever it's me
Something is brewing and it isn't my tea

You have my number, and you know my name
It isn't a mystery; it's always the same.
Why won't you call me; why won't you care?
show me you're willing: "To always be there".

I tried, with my number, to call you today:
It went to your voicemail; it's always that way..
Yet, blocking my number, I let the phone ring
I never spoke up when you answered that thing..

You have my number, and you know my name
It isn't a mystery; it's always the same.
Why won't you call me; why won't you care?
show me you're willing: "To always be there".

So, why all of this fussing and pretending with me
It's clear what you're doing; it's clear as can be
You're really not truthful: you're just a big scam
I'm walking away now; I'm better, I am...

You have my number, and you know my name
It isn't a mystery; it's always the same.
Why won't you call me; why won't you care?
show me you're willing: "To always be there".

I'm here for you...

I read your heart and saw your hurt:
Pages and pages of things that were.
Your cries were deep; your happiness too:
I saw all this inside of you...

So let Me help and let Me share
That pain your bury with utmost care
I'll hear your cries; I'll heal your hurt
Just give Me all without reserve

The other day, when you were down.
You thought no one cared or was around..
I was right there and I waited to see
If you would remember, to call on Me..

So let Me help and let Me share
That pain you bury with utmost care
I'll hear your cries; I heal your hurt
Just give Me all without reserve

When you were trying; but didn't succeed
You heart was broke; your soul did bleed.
You wept; you wept;  till you could not...
If only you would have called Me, like you ought..

So let Me help and let Me share
That pain you bury with utmost care
I'll hear your cries; I heal your hurt
Just give Me all without reserve

When you were happy and no one cared
You won a contest,  but no one shared..
You felt unloved; but failed to see
I would have joined in; if you called on Me...

So let Me help and let Me share
That pain you bury with utmost care
I'll hear your cries; I heal your hurt
Just give Me all without reserve

I'm here each day;  I'm here each night
I give you all for your delight
If you would call or you would plead
I'd be your all, I'd intercede..

So let Me help and let Me share
That pain you bury with utmost care
I'll hear your cries; I heal your hurt
Just give Me all without reserve

Last night's storm

Like a bombshell shattering upon my roof
The storms were near and were not aloof..
They blew, they shook, they made me fear:
Enormous sounds filled up my ear..

Flashes of lightning, struck here and there:
Their streams, of light, were everywhere.
Battering the ground; and brightening the sky:
Lightning was flashing; it was nearby.

Shaking the earth, with horrendous sound:
The thunder, was boisterous: was all around.
The rooms,, they echoed: they shook and shook..
Conflicting cumulonimbus became sleep's crook..

Beneath all the covers, the cats and I
Waited for storms to slowly pass by..
But one was courageous and boldly did stand:
In the midst of that noisiness: my brave Orion..

Break from the routine...

Before you start your mornings : open up all your doors
Look outside and see it: the beautiful earthen floors;
The skies are bright and golden; the air is there to breathe
Open up your all your curtains: be ready to see : receive

The morning is always waiting the daylight is always there
Just look outside and see it so much wonderfulness everywhere
Why wouldn't you want to feel it; why wouldn't you let it in?
It's only a passing moment and it wont be the same again..

Shut down all of your media and close off all of your phones
For a moment become united with somethings that's not a clone
Be inebriated with the universe be consoled by what you see
Eternity has left its imprint, for the benefit of you and me..

The morning is always waiting the daylight is always there
Just look outside and see it so much wonderfulness everywhere
Why wouldn't you want to feel it; why wouldn't you let it in?
It's only a passing moment and it wont be the same again..

The day will have its moments of the sunshine or the rain
Why not start each morning, with something gloriously,  unmudane..?
The auras are out there shining, dancing upon all the plants:
Why not venture out this morning:  break from the  routine and dance?

The morning is always waiting the daylight is always there
Just look outside and see it so much wonderfulness everywhere
Why wouldn't you want to feel it; why wouldn't you let it in?
It's only a passing moment and it wont be the same again..

We are its light

Make this day special because of what you do
Take a moment today to share some part of you
With someone who is unknown with someone on the way
Be that ray of sunshine that'll brighten up their day

We are the world's ambassadors, we are its light
If we are not shining then all is like night
We have been gifted and we have the grace
To be the world's beacon all over the place..

It'll only take you a moment to say a "how are you"
Or just a couple seconds to create a smile or two
But, if you're not even willing, to do that simple task:
Will you be that person, who'll help whenever asked?

We are the world's ambassadors, we are its light
If we are not shining then all is like night
We have been gifted and we have the grace
To be the world's beacon all over the place..

Today is a new day and today is the day
To turn around selfishness, eliminate hate
We can be inspiring and we can bring hope
Let us begin changing this world and this globe

We are the world's ambassadors, we are its light
If we are not shining then all is like night
We have been gifted and we have the grace
To be the world's beacon all over the place..

What can we do to change our ways?

How long can we keep quiet and refuse to see
The people around us in such misery
We buy and we buy and we walk right by
The people less fortunate than you and I

Oh what can we do to change our ways
It isn't so easy to forget or erase
A life time of living without concern or care:
Today is the day we should become more aware..

There's people beside you who live in hurt
You may not even know it or think they deserve
Some consideration or kindness or some help today
So what will you do and what will you say..?

Oh what can we do to change our ways
It isn't so easy to forget or erase
A life time of living without concern or care:
Today is the day we should become more aware.

That person who's begging over there, you see
Is pretending and plotting so carefully..?
But what if we're wrong and he's not so free
And is working for someone like you and me..?

Oh what can we do to change our ways
It isn't so easy to forget or erase
A life time of living without concern or care
Today is the day we should become more aware.

That person we whisper about: that lazy ole bum,
Who walks with a bottle or lives in a slum
Is  not a reflection but a  tragedy
Where have we failed in this image we see...?

Oh what can we do to change our ways
It isn't so easy to forget or erase
A life time of living without concern or care
Today is the day we should become more aware.

Too often we judge them the people we hate
We have reasons for keeping ourselves irate
With losers and sponges and  unemployed
We condemn them with excuses our anger's deployed

Oh what can we do to change our ways
It isn't so easy to forget or erase
A life time of living without concern or care
Today is the day we should become more aware.

If only we heard it one day in our heart
The message that Jesus proclaimed from the start
Loving and caring and walking our way
He asked us to love and to do it each day

The End....

The sky is shouting out with an ever mighty roar
And the  universe is crawling beneath an ever fiery floor
The world is all afraid as the mountains start to shake
The heavens start to open beneath the catastrophic break

A quietness precedes it like an ominous piercing stare
Angels from the Heavens have been counseling us: beware
The time has finally come now and the sky is all aglow
A hundred thousand star lights lose their gravity: fall below

Like a faulty firework show turning out so wrong
The end will come to all of us like the ending of a song
Pieces falling together to build a frightful terrific end
If only we would be nicer than the world with all its trend

All the many created with their lives now on the line
Watch the course of the Heavens, with their glow and mighty shine
Something about the atmosphere is  crying out to us indeed
If only were were more loving, then this wouldn't eve had to be..

Angels nearby

Their voices are gentle, their voices are sweet
These angels from Heaven, whenever we meet
They come without feathers, they come without glow
These angels we tell us the things we should know

The speak without voices and sing without sound
Yet souls who are listening can hear them around
With utmost protection and lightning rod speed
These guardians from Heaven bring all that we need

It isn't a fable or a far reaching cry
To speak of these spirits who are always near by
For though they aren't popular or on our TV
These spirits inspire us and help us to see...

While my thoughts are giving birth....

The clouds, this morning, are touching ground
An air of mystery is all around
The Heavens, above, are kissing earth
While my thoughts are giving birth

There is a mistiness before my eyes;
And a sense of wonder, creating surprise,...
My soul is lifted by what I see
Beyond the clouds there's infinity..

If  I could gather them into my hand;
And hold them close would i understand:
The beauty, the wonder, these clouds contain..?
I'll never know they won't remain...

And so, I ponder them, with open heart
These mysterious formations: at day's start
Kissing the earth with gentle might
These clouds reach  out and challenge my sight

Are we all truly free?

Today we celebrate independence but are we all truly free
Are there still some groups of people who can't freely be
Blood and sweat were poured out as wars and battles were won
But is the good ole USA protective of everyone?

We see all the lines and the protests, the signs and the banners too;
The movements of the many peoples:reminding us of what to do..
Yet there are so many that are silenced, so many that go unheard
People with the most powerful positions, cattle the rest like a heard

Today we celebrate independence but are we all truly free
Are there still some groups of people who can't freely be
Blood and sweat were poured out as wars and battles were won
But is the good ole USA protective of everyone?'

What about all the many homeless the addictees and the rest
Is there anyone representing the poorest with their request
Is it only for those who are powerful the greatness of this place
When will we see the equality of America's amazing grace?

Today we celebrate independence but are we all truly free
Are there still some groups of people who can't freely be
Blood and sweat were poured out as wars and battles were won
But is the good ole USA protective of everyone?'

Yes we should be happy and participate in the celebrations
We should shoot off fireworks and parade across the nation
But we should also be aware and be constantly reminded
That there are those who are left out in this land so united

Today we celebrate independence but are we all truly free
Are there still some groups of people who can't freely be
Blood and sweat were poured out as wars and battles were won
But is the good ole USA protective of everyone?'

Not to treasure it, is a tragedy...

Breathe it in, while you still can
And see the beauty of this land
All of this, is for you and me
Not to treasure it: is a tragedy..

Way up high or down below
In the vastness or moments so slow
So much wonder, so much to see
Not to treasure it: is a tragedy..

In the peoples and in the plants
In the noon day or nightly dance
So much creativeness so much glee
Not to treasure it: is a tragedy

In the mornings and in the night
In what is manifested: in plain sight
Everything's gifted to you and me
Not to treasure it: is a tragedy

In this second and in this "now"
All God's greatness wrapped up somehow
In a moment  we will will see:
Not to treasure it: is a tragedy...
