All that loving light, inside of you

Oh, would you tell me:  Do you care
About every person..everywhere?
Do you nurture it: the Love Divine
And if you do ..do you let it shine?

For all the world has turned irate
Given to quarrel and political debate
The world is needing it oh yes they do 
All that loving light, inside of you...

When you rise up...every day:
Is love the light ..that lights your way
Do you resolve it ..the moment you start
To love every being with all your heart

For all the world has turned irate
Given to quarrel and political debate
The world is needing it oh yes they do 
All that loving light, inside of you...

Today, tomorrow and even next year
All the world is needing to hear
That love's the answer to every wrong
If we really wanted to; we could get along

For all the world has turned irate
Given to quarrel and political debate
The world is needing it oh yes they do 
All that loving light, inside of you...

As you're reading this: do you smile
Thinking: "how marvelous, for a little  awhile"
But to continue it ..with relentless pace
We'd need a miracle and all God's grace

For all the world has turned irate
Given to quarrel and political debate
The world is needing it oh yes they do 
All that loving light, inside of you...

It's a beautiful sight

Four thirty, this morning, and chirping away
Birds are all ready, with so much to say
Not everyone can hear them, for many still sleep
How privileged I am, with the hours that I keep..

The branches are waving, with the help from the wind
And grass blades are singing: "It's time to begin"
"Rise up with the sunrise and open your eyes:
So many, the blessings, that fall from the skies..

A new day's upon us, it's glowing so bright..
The critters are romping..it's a beautiful sight.
A little seed and silence and a visit outside
Will fill one with a wonder it's impossible to hide..

Simple revelations

Tell me, tell me, if you will..
Are you silent, are you still:
When the morning star appears
And invites us all  with gentle cheers

Do you ever take the time
To hear the earth inside her rhyme;
And taking vibes from all the wind
Does your soul stir deep within?

With all the angels can you hear
The eternal voice's atmosphere
And do you try with all your might:
To capture day and capture night?

Of all the wonders we have around,
The greatest ones create no sound
So we must look and we must see
What speaks without voice to you and me

Like a rising mountain top
Creation bids us all to stop
For in her arms and and in her breeze
Rests the One that  no one sees

Not in buildings, not in space
Does the Almighty confine His Grace
But in the  beauty and in  the love
We can connect to this God above

Would you take some time today
To listen a moment along your way
To  hear what's sacred and what's near
Though beyond what we can call clear.

Boundaries...

Together we can do so very much
But, for many, this idea is so out of touch
Instead we're content to rabble and ride
On political viewpoints that crush and divide

We want all the world to see our view
Despite the cost it may place on you..
So we push and push with our rants irate
And create through our protests:  an un-divided state.

Perhaps if we were all schooled in a little law
We'd change our view on what we saw
We'd see our family: the United states
Exposed and vulnerable and needing some gates

Please help me understand..

Please help me understand
What is going on inside our land
Oh..can you help me see
Why there's so much animosity

In this land so bold and free
Why aren't we learning: you and me
How to love and how to care
For every person every where

Please help me understand
What is going on inside our land
Oh..can you help me see
Why there's so much animosity

Looking left and looking right
Nobody's really using the Light
Instead we're choosing ( you and me)
What is divisive: can't you see..

Please help me understand
What is going on inside our land
Oh..can you help me see
Why there's so much animosity

If only we were really seeking  peace
All this warring would finally cease
But you and I just can't agree
That there's so much we fail to see..

Please help me understand
What is going on inside our land
Oh..can you help me see
Why there's so much animosity

I want to know it:  yes I do
Why we cannot find it: all the truth
And instead of pushing our own way
We try to bring unity to our day

Please help me understand
What is going on inside our land
Oh..can you help me see
Why there's so much animosity

We should thank Him always

I open my eyes up and I see God's grace
In every moment and in every place
In the roof above me and in earth's ground
I can feel God's Providence: it's all around

So let's sing each morning and let's sing at night
We should thank Him always  : this Giver of light
For everything living; and for everything here
We should show our gratitude; for He is so dear

The storms that linger..the heat ....and the rain:
They are all God's blessings, so let's not abstain;
From praising and blessing and from our prayer
Let's let  all of the world know: that God is everywhere..

So let's sing each morning and let's sing at night
We should thank Him always: this Giver of light
For everything living; and for everything here
We should show our gratitude; for He is so dear

Sometimes we're laughing and sometimes we're not
But in all, we're  cared for; have you forgot?
The God, Who's everywhere and the God, Who's all...
Will never ever leave us... we have only to call

So let's sing each morning and let's sing at night
We should thank Him always: this Giver of light
For everything living; and for everything here
We should show our gratitude; for He is so dear

Like angels in the wind

Singing, oh so softly, like angels in the wind
Birds are chirping sweetly over and over again
Soothing and ever cheerful these messengers release
An energy so healing; that it gives us inner peace

Whispering into the daylight, plant-lets start to dance
Echoing sounds of refreshment, asking us to chance
A moment of quiet calmness, apart from all the rest
Will we take some time now and be their honored guests

Reach out into the softness of those breezes passing by
Capture just one molecule or an atom from the sky
So much goes into this artwork  this living tapestry
Yet we fail to take a  second .  a moment to even see

Morning noon and evening we are always on the run
Everything happens so quickly: there's oodles to be done
But never did we stop to consider that we haven't a real need
To rush through every second every moment with such speed

Just stop...

Stop for a moment; and breathe the air
So much awesomeness...is everywhere..
Too much worrying not enough peace
Stop for a moment and then release....

Stop all you're doing and hear the sound
Of all of  this universe and all around
Quietly shouting out: touching deep within
Stop and savor it:  you can  let it in.

Stop all of your arguing; stop and share
All that is beautiful: everywhere
Time keeps on leaving us..o can't you see
Stop for a moment and let it all be....

Stop all of your fidgeting stop and care
Hold what is wonderful: here and there
Nothing is pressing us; so just be still
Stop and enjoy it all life is so  real..

Stop,just a moment, and  you will see
Life has something here for you and me
It isn't all expensive  and its not in a store
Stop and you'll find it: what your looking for..

Before the start of day

Tapping on my window, like a messenger of grace
A tiny little sparrow disrupts my sleeping space
He pecks away a tune then lights onto the ground
Chirping as he does an invitation to his sound

The skies are overshadowed by the grayness of the night
Which lingers on a bit as the dawn is bringing  light
Melodies are all sounding from the birds of every feather
Challenge my drooping spirit to get myself together

Earlier than the sunrise all of these songs  arise
While fluffs of floating clouds speckle up the skies
Temperatures are all soaring; humidity's all around
As the early breeze of morning carries  all this sound

Hour by hour its happening the melody of each day
And all of us can particpate as we go our way
But we must take some moments and partial out some time
So we can become the melody of our own poetic rhyme

Revolutionairies

I will hear it; and I will listen to it
 with everything that is sounding inside my heart
To all of the melodies; to all of the harmonies;
 that are giving this day her lovely start
So much, the awesomeness, so much the beautifulness
that is sounding outside the door for me
How can I not want it, and not desire for it
to become a part of my daily spirituality

The world is so amazing once you take her out of the thread
of the media and of CNN
It has become so evident that we're becoming so tainted
by the news we're taking in
Graspers of the dramatic they twist and turn what is
into some falsified form of  reality
And then present it to us; like some Gospel truth
that they are wanting us to believe

We must revive again and divorce ourselves from the trend
of following the awkward crowd
That takes its nourishment from the media
and the stories put out there, on the cloud
We can become the revolutionaries;
the rebels of the mind control that is happening every day
And show the world that happiness can be had
without the having or doing like "they say"

Did you know...

 Today the winds are whispering such songs of gentle love
 Crying out with utmost carefulness: Give praise to God above
 He is the True Creator of the universe and all the sky
 The winds are carefullly whispering sweet songs for you and I

 The earth is humbly rumbling a soft rythmn for me and you
 It is challenging all our senses and our intellect it is true
 Through everything that is now growing and everything all around
 The earth is all transportive of the Great Immortal Sound..

 The sea is so surrendering its sounds of endless praise
 Through rushes of tides now forming and sound of crashing waves
 It is echoing all the Powerfulness and all the Majestic Might
 That began with Simple Whisperings and made both day and night.

 The hours are all expanding and all of the minutes are too
 They are carrying the Great Awakening the Eternal I Love You
 Yet we are all still sleeping and so deaf to all of this love
 The clock it keeps on ticking as He awaits us: the God above....

Do you have time?

Oh the soundings of this amazing early dawn
She is serenading all the creatures on the lawn
And those who wake to greet the early morning sun
Are in awe of all the activity that has already begun

The birds they wait around for their morning seed
But some will begin to peck around for what they need
All the world around me is starting to romp and creep
Through blades of grass that are slow to sigh or peep

Skies are graying because rain is wanting a little more time
To drench the earth with rythmic drops like some poetic rhyme
Fresh cooling airs are circling around as they appear
So very rare for this season and this time of year..

How beautiful, these moments, that are slowly passing away
Each second, that's expanding, has something nice to say
The words,  the sounds, are almost silent to the naked ear
So one must hush and be silent and allow the heart to hear...

Join me, now, if you think you have the will and time
To hear the earth as she is composing her poetic rhyme
Through every creature plantlet and the atmosphere
You wont be sorry you chose to open up some time to hear

Time to change

There's chatter in the household: a child's run away
Fingers start pointing: oh what can we say
After making the rounds about..who is at fault
They conclude by admitting: "it's the child" by default

And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
We dig for some reasons but find what is old
Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

The countries are now meeting with an agenda of peace
But politicians are sticklers and want it to cease
Too proud to admit it that  we can learn how to forgive
They strive to rally forces with  lies that they give

And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

The lion and the child will learn it some day
That peaceful coexistance can create a new way
Its promised through the pages of a biblical rhyme
Wild beasts and children will be friends in due time

 (Is: 11-6; Is: 11-8)

 And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

 The children are all learning from all that they see
 We have to acknowledge it:  we are who'll they'll be
 Before they can even spell it:  the word bigotry
 They can see it so embodied in you and in me

 And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

 So what will we do with this verse for today
Will we toss it a snicker and continue on our way?
 Or will we even consider it: that maybe it's true:
 A new world can be heralded by me and by you

 And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

His Children

With kindness and caring, with compassion and love
This is how He has treated  us: the good God above
So, we, as His children, the recipients of this all
Should turn and be similar to the great ones and small

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days.

The tempter will always tempts us in everything we do
He will whisper the wrong things and distort what is true
A jealous one from the outset he will push us to be
Forgetful of the others and the promoters of  "ME"

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days

If we are not loving and not doing our best
To spread seeds of kindness and true happiness
We are only being selfish and not being the all
We were fashioned to be initially when God choose to call..

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days..

So turn to Him always and turn to Him right now
And tell Him you are ready by a promise and a vow
To be for Him always that vessel of grace
That will flow out to the world in every time and place

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days

It isn't out there

What it is it that can make a person happy and make another  one really sad
Is it, the acquisition of so much money;  is having it... what needs to be had
Why is it, then,  that the rich and the famous: the ones who can own their own store
Are suddenly fallen the  sullen victims of the insatiable desire for more

Could it be, that,  the very act of our wanting: the desire that is moving us all
Is not something that can we can acquire ..but a Someone we need to re- call
The inner thirst that is keeping us moving.. the working ..the staying up all night:
Is it not the unquenchable realization, that we are insatiable till we rest in the Light

So we go on, with all of our searching: through books and the endless store;
Seeking out that one satisfaction that will silence all our desires for more
Thus  we buy and we buy and we travel; and we run till we can no longer  run
We end up in the same place where we started   the place where it all had begun..

Alive for me and you...

How slowly the morning overtakes the fleeing night
While sparrows and robbins serenade the approaching light
With chirping and melodies, they lift our souls from sleep
We can feel them and hear them: all the secrets that they keep

The rushing  could be so easy; but, what if we could pause
And savor every second:  so beautiful and without flaws...
The daylight, ever breaking and the sunlight always near
Both have their own versions of  "the creation"we can hear

So, soften, all your footsteps and step outside your door
And hear what is ever sounding and see what beauty is in store
The plantlets and the creatures and the grass so green we see
Are singing ever so sweetly and are inviting you and me

 I can tell you from experience from encounters real and true
 That the morning and the evening are alive for me and you
 We have only to take the moments and the seconds of each dawn
 To experience what is delightful before it is all withdrawn

Warning ...reading this might enlighten you

The media is one sided..but not for the right
They run with corruption but not with the light
Biased and uncaring they will put all in print
That'll exact more production: do you get it ..hint, hint?

While true stories are stifled, the others can run
The newscast is our answer when the day is all done?
Broadcasting most loudly till they're proven all wrong
CNN and Yahoo are just  a part of this throng

We tire as a nation of the stories they air
But no one will stand up and cry "its unfair"
Since when are they elected, these anchors who talk
Like some sort of prophets.. we need them to walk??

As far as my conscience,  my ability to think :
Most of the news world is a big ugly stink
Nothing is trustworthy and nothing is fair
They publish the dramatic:  I'm sure you're aware!
