No strings attached

If you would be my friend today
These words I need to hear you say
No strings attached I'm here for you
There isn't a price on what we do

No strings attached, no strings attached
Our friendship is real it is unmatched
I'm here for you through thick and thin
It was God's love that helped us begin

There are no locks: no chains to hold
Our hearts are one without a mould
We give, we care, and we do not find
Any strings attached or rules to bind

No strings attached, no strings attached
Our friendship is real it is unmatched
I'm here for you through thick and thin
It was God's love that helped us begin

If you're in need, your needs are mine
I'll help you out ..no forms to sign
We'll walk together ..like family, like friend
No strings attached:  our love won't end

No strings attached, no strings attached
Our friendship is real it is unmatched
I'm here for you through thick and thin
It was God's love that helped us begin

Oh Indonesia

Another tragedy, another prayer
To the God, Who's everywhere
A plane was leaving, taking flight;
Then it dropped down:  out of sight

Oh Indonesia, what sorrows on you befall:
From inside the waters, your loved ones call
Holding those spirits, once on board;
Lion Air is submerged and floored

Families waiting weep and cry
For the loved ones supposed to fly
Awaiting updates awaiting news
Not the notices, you would choose

Oh Indonesia, what sorrows on you befall
From inside the waters, your loved ones call
Holding those spirits, once on board;
Lion Air is submerged and floored

Though far away from where I live
My heart is there with support to give
Through words of hope of empathy
I unite my heart to your tragedy

Oh Indonesia, what sorrows on you befall
From inside the waters, your loved ones call
Holding those spirits, once on board;
Lion Air is submerged and floored

We forget so often that we are all a part
Of this great big world: we share one heart
Though times are trying and often unfair
Lets take a moment for some selfless prayer

Oh Indonesia, what sorrows on you befall
From inside the waters, your loved ones call
Holding those spirits, once on board;
Lion Air is submerged and floored

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of deep sighing has started to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Most Sacred with his heartless display

What callousness of heart what coldness of mind
Has motivated this frenzy: this hatred we find
A gathering of faithful, all desirous to adore
Lost all momentum when.... evil entered the  door

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of sighs is starting to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Sacred with his heartless display

The cults of the cowards are starting to rise
And thus we see tear drops emerge from the skies
The prejudices, hatreds, and political schemes
Are fueling these rampages that make for bad dreams

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of sighs is starting to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Sacred with his heartless display

Tomorrow will be like no other you'll know
For someone will be missing from the places you'd go
Though different we're united and it'll always be true
We're bound up together beneath "The Red, White and Blue"

I am crying for you, oh city of Pittsburgh
A litany of sighs is starting to emerge
A gunman with hatred has darkened this day
Robbing the Sacred with his heartless display

Before the noisiness of dawn

I rise up before the birds begin to sing
And I can hear the songs that angels like to  bring
Like songs of love, of grace, and God and everything
Though it's  quiet, my heart can hear the secrets of the King

While, the rest of the world, around me, soundly sleeps
My heart is singing of things that angels like to keep
Like happiness hints and mysteries of the heavenly home
Inside these moments, my soul is free to run and roam

Like water rushing from an enormous ocean tide
My heart is overcome by countless hosts of angels by my side
Singing softly but intensely of the better brighter place
I cannot wait to spend my eternity inside this Sacred Space..

If only everyone could see it: the solemness of this sacred time
That takes this poet to places that makes her want to sing and rhyme
How many more would not rise and wonder and want to meditate
Before the noisiness of the morning makes it way too late...

Rays from the Eternal..

Sprinklets of the morning sun shines down on everyone
Rays of golden goodness warm the creatures as they run
Cooler weather brings its chill; but the star of morning shines
I see the silhouettes of grace: they're peeking through the vines.

Like a warrior rising up all proud,the golden globe appears
Majestic in its confidence... faithful throughout our years
Reaching down through atmospheres, heating up all the earth
This radiant ball of glowingness illuminates the morning's birth

Bask awhile and soak it all in: the warmth of this loving glow
It echoes in each ray that falls the goodness of One we know
The uniqueness of its mission and the magic within its shine
Reminds us that this world is but a prelude to The Everlasting Shrine

Never really alone

In everything that happens whether in the night time or in day
A hundred thousands angels are there along the way
To watch us and  protect us and to keep account: it's true
Nothing is ever happening that isn't before their view

So, let us always remember that.. we are never really alone:
What we think that is always hidden;  is ever before God's throne.
He sees us in our thinking, our sleeping and in our mind;
And a hundred thousand angels are around us all the time...

Those stories we keep on fabricating for the edification of all
Will all have an expiring time when all their edifices will fall
And we  stand there  all ashamed at .. the things we loved to tell
For the sake of building honors while embracing the road to hell

So, let us always remember that.. we are never really alone:
What we think is always hidden:  is ever before God's throne.
He sees us in our thinking, our sleeping and in our mind;
And a hundred thousand angels are around us all the time...

In those times that are most trying and when we feel that no one knows
The truth of what is happening, although  the evidence shows
We're innocent of their claimings and their condemnation of us
We must keep on ever clinging to those guardians we can trust

So, let us always remember that.. we are never really alone:
What we think is always hidden is ever before God's throne.
He sees us in our thinking, our sleeping and in our mind;
And a hundred thousand angels are around us all the time...

It should be our constant consolation, and  a warning to us as well
That our consciences are ever speaking like  angels who run and tell
The secrets of our intentions and the promises we haven't kept
Nothing goes uncensored by a God who hasn't slept..

So, let us always remember that.. we are never really alone:
What we think is always hidden is ever before God's throne.
He sees us in our thinking, our sleeping and in our mind;
And a hundred thousand angels are around us all the time...

You are my Everything...

In every moment of every day
In every second that's passing my way
I want to sing O Lord to You
You are my Everything.. it is so true

When I am awake or am asleep
I want to spend my time and keep
A vigil with all who dwell above
And sing forever of Your Lasting Love

In every moment of every day
In every second that's passing my way
I want to sing O Lord to You
You are my Everything.. it is so  true

Sometimes when I am feeling down
I feel Your angels..they're all around
Whispering Your words to encourage me
I'm blessed, protected and happy as can be...

In every moment of every day
In every second that's passing my way
I want to sing O Lord to You
You are my Everything.. it is so  true

At times there's  heartaches and laughter too
They follow us all..our whole life through
Sometimes we're smiling and before you know
A sorrow will strike and bring us low...

In every moment of every day
In every second that's passing my way
I want to sing O Lord to You
You are my Everything.. it is so  true

In good times ..bad times:  happy or sad
I will lift my voice and sing I'm glad
There's One Who's here ...through thick and thin
I'm ready to sing.. this morning again.....

In every moment of every day
In every second that's passing my way
I want to sing O Lord to You
You are my Everything.. it is so true

Dancing with angels

All I can really say
is what I have always tried to say:
God has been with me, always,
and has blessed me along the way:
In the good times and the bad,
the daytime and the night:
God has kept his promises
and has been my Truest Light

Like One, Who is always watching;
but always on the side
God has been that Presence..
Who has kept me from my pride
He is quick to be my Partner;
but, so slow to take my part,
Whenever I am not acting
in accord with His Loving Heart

So today I am dancing with angels
and singing with all the best
Who have hovered over all the cities
and watched us as we rest
These guardians of all the peoples
and these spirits invisible to sight
Will help us as we continue to try to
walk towards the Lasting Light

In sadness and joy

 Try to remember when the storm's passing through
 That millions of angels are all surrounding you
 They're  sent by The Father, with a mission of love
 They're watching, protecting and guarding from above..

 Times may seem devastating and impossible it's true
 But, watchful and ready, is a God who's  loving you:
 Awaiting your petitions; your pleading, your prayer
 That's asking and trusting  His guidance and His care

 Picking up the pieces of what seems utterly sad
 Might leave you with a mindset that is bitter and mad
 But letting go and letting God into the mess that's around
 Will make it all beautiful.. a masterpiece to be found.

 Heartbreaks and laughter and sadness and joy
 Can come from one household and still not destroy
 For the believer who is anchored and living God's grace
 Everything is a blessing and never out of place..

Nothing worse than a liar

There is nothing that's worse than one who will lie
Who fashions false stories without blink of the eye
Telling you one thing and then changing it  around
How awful is a falsehood and how bitter its sound

I know a few people who can embody this way
They're quick to deceive us in all that they say
Because of their status they feel they can lie
If only I could prove it but why should I try?

Like the foulest of odors, their story will smell
Each word is a maggot from the caverns of hell
They're proficient in telling their lines that deceive
They look at you sincerely and expect you to believe..

So what should we do when we encounter such a one
Is there anything at all that can even be done?
Should we act like one pursuing a criminal or thief
Or sit back and await it.. the truth's sweet relief..?

Michael's coming

 Michael roars below our coast
 Bringing things we fear the  most:
 Torrential downfalls ...tornados too
 Flee get ready: he's coming ..it's true

 Though the path seems set in stone
 Michael will shift from what is shone
 Steady your belongings and hurry away
 Act like one, who will host his stay

 Michael roars below our coast
 Bringing things, we fear the most: 
 Torrential downfalls..tornados too..
 Flee, get ready: he's coming ..it's true

 Don't be brave and stick it out
 His roaring winds will pierce and shout
 Shattering plantlife throwing all
 Who will refuse the warning call..

 Michael roars below our coast
 Bringing things we fear the most: 
 Torrential downfalls..tornados too.
 Flee, get ready, he's coming..it's true

 I know you've heard it so many times
 How storms bring out the crazy crimes
 Like those who loot where storms have hit
 Don't remain there: get away from it.

 Michael roars below our coast
 Bringing things we fear the most: 
 Torrential downfalls..tornados too.
 Flee, get ready, he's coming..it's true

 Trust the weathermen in your heart
 Angel spirits that say.. depart
 Though you're brave ...don't remain
 Go with your family: it is so plain

 Michael roars below our coast
 Bringing things we fear the most: 
 Torrential downfalls..tornados too.
 Flee, get ready, he's coming..it's true

Take all of our warring away


Each day whenever I pray
These words I form and  I say
Take all of our warring away
Today and everyday

Because we have all so tragically changed
Our values have all been rearranged
And instead of being the loving uniters;
We are all..the instigators and fighters

Each day whenever I pray
These words form and  I say
Take all of our warring away
Today and everyday

It is not just somewhere out there
Where the machine guns rattle the air
But here  close to our own United States
Things are happening worse than the fiery debates

Each day whenever I pray
These words I form and I say
Take all of our warring away
Today and everyday

We all seem to think that we know
What is the best for the rest and so
We raise up our voices and shout
And drown all the other opinions out

Each day whenever I pray
These words I form and I say
Take all our warring away 
Today and everyday

If only for once and for all
We could let all of our weapons fall
The name calling the lying the hate
And be satisfied with a civilized debate

Each day whenever I pray
These words I form and I say
Take all of our warring away
Today and everyday

We were once, all,  so united ...so caring
Independent but everyone's burdens bearing
Now we are so tragically torn apart
By the divisions our politics impart

Each day whenever I pray
These words I form and I say
Take all of our warring away
Today and everyday

Haunting hellos

A misty fog was all around
When early morn let out her sound
Mystic muses quieted me
Immersed my soul in  mystery

Like smoky remnants from a fire
A foggy feeling, did inspire
Lines of wonder.. lines of awe
Beautiful reminders of what I saw

Rising up like incensed cloud
Her silent rising spoke out loud
To my soul and to my heart
Poetic soundings found their start

Backed up by the birds who sing
Mysterious molecules rose to ring
A musical melody in the air:
Haunting hellos were everywhere

So Insensitive

 Who do you think you are puffed up as you are
 A flying super hero..an overpaid movie star
 Who do you think you are ..who do you think you are

 You walked right by me today
 Dressed up and on your way
 I reached out my hand to you
 You walked right pass me: it's true

 Who do you think you are, puffed up as you are
 A flying super hero an over paid movie star?
 Who do you think you are..who do you think you are..?

 I wept before you today
 And you had nothing nice to say
 You kept on challenging me
 Not to let others see...

 Who do you think you are: puffed up as you are...
 A flying super hero..an overpaid movie star?
 Who do you think you are... who do you think you are?

 While you ranted about what you had
 You didn't make me feel so glad
 You boasted and tooted your horn
 While I was dressed up in my rags so torn  .

 Who do you think you are: puffed up as you are
 A flying super hero..an overpaid movie star?
 Who do you think you are.. who do you think you are?

 Have you ever stopped to think
 To offer me food or drink
 Or are you lost in your own parade
 Of praise of you: self-made

 Who do you think you are: puffed up as you are
 A flying super hero..an overpaid movie star?
 Who do you think you are.. who do you think you are?

 There are others who need you car
 But you walk around unaware
 Lost in your own cloud of pride
 You seek your own glorification outside

 Who do you think you are: puffed up as you are
 A flying super hero.. an overpaid movie star?
 Who do you think you are.. who do you think you are?

Un-American

What are we becoming and what are we doing
We, the united, are  constantly renewing
The hatreds, the rivalries, the violences galore
What are we doing now and what is this for..

The Democrats, the Independants, the Republicans too
All need to step back and consider what's true
We're fighting ..not uniting.. like American's should do
We're becoming a spectacle for the whole world to view

What are we becoming and what are we doing?
We, the united,  are constantly renewing
The hatreds, the rivalries, the violences galore
What are we doing now and what is this for?

America the beautiful your land and mine
Is calling inviting through a patriotic line
Return to your roots now your unity your grace
We're fighting too much now.. it's all over the place

What are we becoming and what are we doing
We, the united,  are  constantly renewing
The hatreds, the rivalries, the violences galore
What are we doing now and what is this for..

It's ugly unAmerican unfiltered and unkind
This backbiting...dividing ...is all out of line
How long will it take us to see who's the source
He lives in the Hades and demonic in force..

What are we becoming and what are we doing
We, the united,  are  constantly renewing
The hatreds, the rivalries, the violences galore
What are we doing now and what is this for..

Inside of every American...

Inside of every American..
is a lovely living soul
Though outside we may be different;
we have one lasting goal
To live, to love, and grow up;
into the potential that we are
Our lives are all so precious..
we're more brilliant than a star

So why don't we treat each other 
like the gems we really are 
Why do we act so distant; 
when we aren't so very far?
We're breathing, living beings..
so very near.. yet far away
I am wanting a revolution 
where love will win the day

The other day I saw it..
it was appearing on  the news:
The bickering, political backbiting:
an awfulness set loose;
Yet we have grown accustomed
to side with one view or another
What if we would change this pattern
and choose to love each other??

So why don't we treat each other 
like the gems we really are 
Why do we act so distant; 
when we aren't so very far?
We're breathing, living beings..
so very near.. yet far away
I'm wanting a revolution 
where love will win the day

I find myself in a panic
like a part of me wants to die
Whenever I see the news now..
can't we all begin to try
Is it all so really necessary
this awful hateful talk
I dream of another time when
we all together will walk...

So why don't we treat each other 
like the gems we really are 
Why do we act so distant; 
when we aren't so very far?
We're breathing, living beings..
so very near.. yet far away
I'm wanting a revolution 
where love will win the day

I'm thinking of the first days
of the America that we know
How we would strive to work together
and help each other grow
How is it, that we have become thus:
this divided political land
If only go back to that time
when were glad to work hand in hand

So why don't we treat each other 
like the gems we really are 
Why do we act so distant; 
when we aren't so very far?
We're breathing, living beings..
so very near.. yet far away
I'm wanting a revolution 
where love will win the day
