Love is forever and ever...

Love is forever and ever;  and it shouldn't ever ever die
It brings out the world of goodness from morning unto nigh
It gives to the sparkling diamond the power of an "I do"
And can lift the brokenhearted, into wholeness, it is true

We mustn't be afraid to say it..or  to show it along the way
For love is a powerful action: it can brighten up the darkest day
It is there for the beautiful couples.. for the families and the friend
It is that miraculous component that can enable us to truly blend

Wouldn't you be willing to carry it..to every single place that you go
So that, everyone, that you may encounter; could notice its beautiful glow
It will come out in the simplest of gestures of kindness and of care
There won't be any need for any introductions.. everyone will know it's there

Be you, therefore, that ambassador.. of kindness and of endless love
Tell the world about its remedy that we are all so sorely in need of
It isn't too costly or too unique that we can't find it to give it away
No love is that part of our being that makes us like God in every way

(1 Corinthins 13: 1-7)

1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

What's wrong with us

Wreckless shooters all around..
Flying bullets start to sound
Bodies falling one by one
Who will stop the loaded gun

Hard to believe a festive day
Was so interrupted..taken away
By the greediest bitterness
Of one who was bent on destructiveness

Stop this madness stop the hate
Healing's needed before too late
All are fighting and all are ill
Something's happening.. it's surreal

Who's the culprit..who's to blame
For all this cancerous growing flame
Mass destruction.. raging war
Angry gunmen.. bloody floor..

Don't pretend to be my friend.....

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel..

I am not looking for any handouts in the line of extra friends
I'm only seeking  connections that are here without pretense.
I'm not another write off  for someone's  list of things to do.
But I'm  someone truly valuable in the right setting it is true..

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel. 

You really must be cautious in the words you choose to say
The way you seem to express them gives your intentions all away
The motives and the reasons and the authenticity or not
Comes out in all you're saying: it's obvious what you've brought...

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel..

I rather be a loner than have a friendship that's untrue
Don't come to me with sweetness if that's  not a part of you
I'd rather someone who is crazy and authentically a fool
Than be on someone's bucket list they feel they have to do....

Don't pretend to be my friend..don't pretend...don't pretend
I have this inner seventh sense..it  picks up on what's pretend
So if you're really going to be caring and in are in my life for real
Don't come here ready to leave me ....it is an awful thing to feel..

Morning muses

Take some time to breathe slowly and listen the wind
Slow down what you are doing...I am asking you again
So much ..you have been missing..and so much  you can lose
The energy around you .. is something you can choose

Look out of your window and see everything that's there:
The sky up above you ..and the gently moving air
The creatures who are seeking and looking for some food
Everything around is saying: Life is really good

Temptations might be taunting and moving you to be sad..
Creating for you images that make everything look bad
But, you have it inside you .. the spirit of our God
You can disperse all of these robbers with one single nod

Don't let daytime escape you without enjoying what's  there
Or night time overtake you without entering into prayer
You are spirit and body and need a balance for the two
Nothing is more fulfilling then a Godly life..it is true..

Go now..and be there.

Are you so tired..upset and weary
Over all the nonsense..you've been hearing.
What do you do now.. where should you go
There is, but, one place.. you should know

It is the heart of, One, Who's knowing
All that the media has been showing
It is  that Place where: all is healing
Go now and be there: you'll love that feeling

Have you been searching ..and looking around
For something fulfilling.. but..it can't be found
Perhaps you're going where you can't receive..
Turn off  that noise now ..and simply breathe..

It is the heart of, One, Who's knowing
All that the media has been showing
It is  that Place where: all is healing
Go now and be there: you'll love that feeling

You're feeling abandoned like no one knows you
You're wanting to be part of something ..it's true
But,  you keep on trying, at things that will falter
Only one thing is needed ..and it isn't an altar..

It is the heart of, One, Who's knowing
All that the media has been showing
It is  that Place where: all is healing
Go now and be there: you'll love that feeling

And we wonder what is happening?

Slow down for a little while do you really need to rush
Your feet are always running ...you're getting out of touch
I hardly ever get to see you and I hardly ever hear you say
Let's get together for a little outing or spend some time today...

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team

The other day we were talking .. the two of us... we were
A ping lit up your cell phone; you became distracted..it's for sure
Before you knew it,  we were changing: no longer having the time
Consumed with all of the have to's . togetherness was hard to bind.

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team

The number of breakups is  mounting in the good ole USA
Divorce and non commitments are so prevalent today
Our people are no longer stopping or taking the time they need
To keep their families united..or to squash out personal greed..

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team

The remedy, is so very easy for all this madness, that's everywhere
We need to take some moments and tell some people that we really care
We need to shut down  our cell phones and our computers when we meet
There isn't any other solution .. .this one we cannot beat..

And we wonder what is happening to the people who we were
Our lives are becoming a rat race we're communicating less for sure
If this is what is required to become part of the American dream
I don't want it; you can have it: it's destroying our happy team

Can you hear the whispers?

Morning's whispering to my soul: "It's time to rise and shine"
So much beauty's waiting here ... nothing's out of line
Trees and plantlets; jumping birds; rabbits nibbling away
Waiting for me to greet them all; as I'm starting out my day..

Molecular formations, all unseen; and atoms two by two
Create the atmospheric feel that will push our day on through
The beams of golden yellowness, sweets extensions of the sun
Reach out with so much givingness: and neglect not even one..

The sounding silence from the earth.. supports the creatures song
And if we can listen hard enough we'll be able to join along
For their melody is that of peacefulness that comes from what they do
Our hearts and minds can become their words if we allow God's graces through

Too much rushing and too much noise can smother out the Love
That's oozing from the streams that flow from the Eternalness above
We need to be silent and to be still and let the Spirit speak
For He's not going to try to shout... in His stillness we will meet

Virtual waters...

Inspired by the Virtual Rogue River found on Roku

By the waters..in the silence.. I am immersed inside of me
I hear the trickles splashing softly..soothing all around I see
Birds are singing creatures sounding like a serenade serene
By the waters.. in the silence..mother nature shines pristine..

By the waters .. on  my TV. I can feel .. like I am there
I can picture and imagine what it's like in such clean air
Every morning ..every evening when I'm needing  extra calm
By the waters..on my TV. .I can rest in visual balm..

By the waters flowing gently.. across the screen so big and wide
I can feel it all the healing moving slowly deep inside
Though not present I am present through the virtual world I've found
By these waters flowing gently am immersed in healing sound..

What are you going to do?

The world is needing people who are willing to share and love
It's overloaded with all the others who want to push and shove
Will you be for it that  angel heart..that  giver of love and light
Go out today and be God's love and see how you can make things right

The world would have your fighting and tearing each other down
The Heavens would have you loving and lifting the broken around
We can choose to be the selfishness and the ones who never care
Or we can choose to be the selflessness and spread happiness everywhere

It is ours. each day, to be considering.. what path.. what way we'll walk
We can be the lights and love we learn of or continue to be just talk
It's not the ones who are all holy looking that are the bearers of light
But rather the ones with their tools in hand ready to change all plight

Heatwave

Today's weather is so disastrous; it looms over you and  me
I'm stepping, right out, inside of it: and it isn't hard to see
That this great big shower of humidity: this cloud of moisturous air
Is more than ready to give to us..and  more than ready to share

The sun outside is so glorious ..but it is relentlessly bearing down
All over this busy metropolitan..all over this busy town
It is heating up all the elements and it is heating up all the air
Breathing becomes  more burdensome..it's happening everywhere

It is surely a time to be slowing down; and it is a time be aware
Of the immensity of humidity that is taking over all this air
For those of us, who are laboring,  to take our every breath
This weather could become a harbinger of our near impending death

So pay attention to the weathermen and pay attention to you
You own spirit, inside will self preserve and will warn you it is true..
So don't push yourself too needlessly and don't push yourself at all
This heatwave could become a catastrophe..don't ignore its wake up call

Music's in the air..

The winds are all happy inside the trees
Branches are wrestling with the breeze
Bending, swaying, all the day long
Trees are singing their own beautiful song.

Bees and beetles and butterflies too
Move about the whole day through
Flying and  fluttering and crawling around
All while creating a beautiful sound

Grey sky;  blue sky.. skies of rain
Create an anthem ..a beautiful refrain
For the creative and the artistic one
Everything's a melody waiting to be spun

Visions, insights, thoughtful prayer

Curtains closed and fans are blowing
Silence gets my senses flowing
Mysteries roam and fill  my head
Every moment holds what God has said

The lack of movement..lack of noise
Gives me things the world destroys
Visions insights thoughtful prayer
Open dialogue with the God of air..

Certainly, the secrets, keep me singing:
Happiness over what God is bringing..
Lovely lifts and Heavenly spaces;
Endless streams of infinite graces

Nothing on this earthly universe
Can compare to what inwardly stirs
When the God of all we can care to see
Leaves His Spiritual gifts inside of me..

Would that you and all around me
could see the things my eyes can see
The glow of Heaven and angelic things
Nothing like this earth's sparkly things

Lovely images

Sunbeams dancing on my sill
Delight my heart inspire my will
Warming whispering in a stream
Lovely images for  my dream

Branches waving ..motioning me
Through my window I can see
Birdlets; leavelets; flowerlets too
All are whispering "I love you

Molecules atoms and  air unseen
Move around me in wisps serene
All so happy but never too loud
They work together;  but never crowd

Glorified showerlets  hazy mist
Create together a gentle kiss
For this sensitive soul of mine
I am uplifted by my God divine

Facing the elements..

Starting off the day... the temperatures are high
I will not make a complaint... and will not  blink an eye
For I "love" the humid air and the stuffiness inside
It makes me feel invincible:  a certain sense of pride

I dance around the molecules and swing around the heat
I let my speeding pulse rate, create for me the beat
I sing   the wonderful wisdom, that comes when I am hot
I should be totally miserable... but thank you, God, I'm not..

The kitties all are laid out ...like children  on some sand
They yawn and yawn a little bit; and paw the air at hand
They take the inclement weather.. like champions that they are
They've learned to face the elements...like "temptations" in a  jar..

You too can find some happiness in the challenges that you meet
If you learn to hear their rhythms and can pick up on their beat
You'll start to dance around them and with them you will sing
God is still the Creator in this moment... and in everything...

Quiet spectator

In the morning outside my door
A quiet rabbit sits on earthen floor
Nibbling seeds meant for the birds
Our eyes lock up..no need for words

The glow of moonlight drifts away
And orangish skies announce the day
Wisps of coolness ride the air
Humid whispers are everywhere

Birds are pecking..squirrels too
This is  their custom..it's so true
Eyeing me, they will flit and fuss
But don't see me as someone dangerous..

I breathe in quietly and remain
A quiet spectator but do abstain
From all the noisy-ness and the rush
I can feel it deeply:  God's love for us..

Today is the day

Today is the day; and there isn't another
It is the right time, to start loving each other
We cannot keep waiting ..we shouldn't delay.
Tomorrow isn't promised; so, let's start it today

You're walking or driving and see someone in need
Do you keep on right by them or slow down your speed
Are you afraid of their intentions afraid they're not real
Who is it,  in your heart, that is telling you how to feel?

Today is the day; and there isn't another
It is the right time, to start loving each other
We cannot keep waiting ..we shouldn't delay.
Tomorrow isn't promised; so, let's start it today

The person's annoying; but, they are needing your care
Do you pretend you don't see them .. pretend they're not there
Or do you put aside your judgments and do you tend to their need
Tell me if you're willing: how would you proceed?

Today is the day; and there isn't another
It is the right time, to start loving each other
We cannot keep waiting ..we shouldn't delay.
Tomorrow isn't promised; so, let's start it today

Your friends are real counselors.. they are directing your aright??
They're ridiculing someone absent with a most nasty delight...
Do you take part in their slandering and their cowardly ways;,
Or do you stand up for the one absent and speak with great praise?

Today is the day; and there isn't another
It is the right time, to start loving each other
We cannot keep waiting ..we shouldn't delay.
Tomorrow isn't promised; so, let's start it today

We all have our morals and we all have our beliefs
But, who will we mimic:  the good Samaritan or the thieves?
Will we be like the rebuilders or the ones who destroy
Let's choose now our resolutions and let them deploy

Today is the day; and there isn't another
It is the right time, to start loving each other
We cannot keep waiting ..we shouldn't delay.
Tomorrow isn't promised; so, let's start it today

Back to wholeness

Come you creatures, all you living
Join my song of happy thanksgiving
We are the oneness.. we..the wholeness
Join me now with greatest devoted-ness

Come you elements... and you matter
Join these word-lets that I gather
From the universe and  its chatter
I am trying to share .. not scatter

Come you listening to  the media
I will free you from this mind anemia
It isn't ..all fatal but a  delirium
That should be loathed more than old Diphtheria

Come all you humans come and hear this
You are missing all of God's goodness
All around you squashed by noisiness
Oozing universe is waiting to share His. bliss

Let God in

Close your eyes and see within
How God's actions will  begin
To soothe to heal to make things new
God is working His miracles in you

Close your mind and let it rest
Inside the blessings of Your Guest
Who is speaking talking deep
Secret stories for you to keep

Close your ears and let them hear
All the mysteries far and near
From the Heavens from the earth
God is sending you  rebirth...

Close the cellphone laptop too
God is ready to message you
With an energy with an air
No provider can ever compare

The earth is all unsettled

The earth is  unsettled and shaking within
Another quake in California: it's sounding again
Soon it'll be happening..... the greatest one yet
Rubble and destruction ..we'll never forget

The warnings are evident the timing is now
Secure yourselves carefully get ready some how
The structures will shatter like glass with a stone
Be ready be vigilant don't face it alone

The Heavens are expressive ..they're asking us all
To get ready for the omens; for they'll easily fall
Over everyone and everywhere: to waken our hearts
These signs will prepare us: before it all  starts

Our actions aren't isolated..they  don't stay where we are
They can affect every element and can shake every star
The harmony is disrupted and the arguing that we do
Turns around and becomes it: the  catastrophe ..it's true

We're all so happy: tell me why

Oh my, oh my...

I can hear them,  all the feathered ones, singing their hearts away
Darkness hasn't quite faded yet and it isn't yet: light as day
But, they, before the rest of the world have started to sing their song
And, I, somehow, through special grace am invited to sing along

Against the backdrop of a sky that is pinkish as it now appears
I can see the trees all reaching out without restraint or any fears
Within their  branches this symphony. with their songs so suave and dear
That every one, who will stop and listen... will hear that: God is near

So it is that every morning, after I open up my living room door
I repeat the wonder of listening just like I did the day before
I hear the songs... the melodies ..and I look up at the waking sky
That reminds me how much, I am truly blessed.. and  cry out: Oh my ..oh my

Hang in there..

You have life and you have breath
You have escaped the grips of death
You are down.. and you're feeling low
But you are blessed more than you can know

Hang on bravely and ..look around
So many signs of hope are found
Golden sun beams.. skies so blue
These are, all here, just for you

Roof above you..food inside you
Work provided: though it may tire you
Days are lengthy and nights are too
God is loving you ..this is true..

Don't despair now dig in deep
Strength is there for you to keep
Though, depressed, you'll see so clear
God is with you .. ever near
