If we want to hear

As the gentle Autumn rain is falling
Every raindrop echoes ..  God is calling
And as we ponder it .let us  rest
Inside the sound of such a Loving Guest

Every wisp of wind is always trying
To carry His voice ..and all His sighing
For our hearts , our minds and for our souls:
He longs to keep us all so close...

He paints the colors, as they shine
Inside our souls: both yours and mine;
And in the creatures and in the trees
God keeps on whispering ..He's in the breeze

Apart from everything and away from  all
We need to step out and try to  call
"Angels Spirits..and loving God
Guide us always ..where ever we trod"

The world is so noisy and tempting too
It keeps on calling out to me and you
Showing us  those things.. along the way
That can capture our hearts and cause decay

We can make our choices .. we know it's so..
We can choose our friends and where ever we go
We can choose the path.. of wrong..of right
Whichever we choose .. will be our light..

In the end

In the end of our time here we'll all stand alone
Every action and word formed we'll have to carefully own
The time, it is coming  ..and it is, already, on the way
We'll all have to testify and account for our day

What will you say then..and what will you do ?
Will you blush with all sadness or smile in the truth?
Will you be sentenced to a deathness or a happiness most true?
How you are living, right now, will determine this for you..

The choices we've made,here ; the friends we have had
Why we chose to be with the right crowd. or why we chose the bad
The numbers will all stack up:  to the left and to the right
We'll have our life's story, here;   exposed to  the Light

What will you say then..and what will you do?
Will you blush with all sadness or smile in the truth?
Will you be sentenced to a deathness or a happiness most true?
How you are living, right now, will determine this for you..

It won't, even,  matter ..what the others will say
The truth will be our, everything, on that very last day
The positives.. the negatives.. the life we that we chose
Will determine our happiness or our sadness we know

What will you say then..and what will you do?
Will you blush with all sadness or smile in the truth?
Will you be sentenced to a deathness or a happiness most true?
How you are living, right now, will determine this for you..

Every raindrop

A gentle rain is falling down outside
Washing earth ...with ever flowing tide
Soothing sounding making known her ways
Rain is singing sweetly ..offering praise

See the grayness  everywhere around
Clouds  are letting out a subtle sound
All the elements acquire a sparkly shine
Compliments of One who loves a humble shrine

Hear the softness in the droplets as they fall
Nothing extravagant but a vehicle for all
Who want to ride the path to God most high
Every rain drop knows  where the angels fly ..

The wicked tongue rages

You know who you are.. and that is all that you need
Don't allow yourself to be overtaken by their mumbling stampede
Continue on in your doing and in the fulfillment of all
Your calling is requiring .. and  be careful not to fall.

For the wicked tongue rages with a most evil style
They'll try to suppress  you and drag you off to a trial
If you can stand steadfast and continue in all that you should
The angels will come  rescue you like only they could

The darkness they're hiding and their awful charade
Will turn around and expose them.. and all that they've paid
If you will remain faithfully serving..and in truth continue on
You'll see  a light shining through  darkness and a most beautiful dawn

For the wicked tongue rages  with a most evil style
They'll try to suppress  you and drag you off to a trial
If you can stand steadfast and continue in all that you should
The angels will  rescue you like only they could

It's Autumn time again

The weather's changing everywhere around
Autumn songs begin to liven up the earth with sound
See the sky so clear and crisp and  blue
Nothing but the Heaven's calling out to me and you

And it's Autumn time again we know
Things are chilling readying for the snow
In other parts it may seem to stay the same
But Autumn has always brought a somber claim

Kids are settling down and learning things in school
Leaves are changing as the weather becomes more cool
Crispy sounds beneath our feet are telling  all
That leaves have succumbed to the windy winds of Fall

And it's Autumn time again we know
Things are chilling readying for the snow
In other parts it may seem to stay the same
But Autumn has always brought a somber claim

The geese are honking as they go away awhile
Squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks;  continue on, with a smile
They'll remain and brave the winter.. as it surely ..comes
Each one jumping, playing to the sound of their own drums

And it's Autumn time again we know
Things are chilling readying for the snow
In other parts it may seem to stay the same
But Autumn has always brought a somber claim

Fall has its holidays and things, that we like to do
Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, all are passing through
What a wonderful time of year, this Autumn truly is
We find ourselves, enveloped, inside this season's somberness

And it's Autumn time again we know
Things are chilling readying for the snow
In other parts it may seem to stay the same
But Autumn has always brought a somber claim

The Godness inside our heart and soul

Be still and quiet and..let the awesomeness of silent sounds ..
fill your heart and mind
Discover it inside you:
the peace and serenity that there is within you to find
Without ever leaving or  going anywhere
you can find it: this everlasting peace
You have only to pause a moment,
shut down everything and let the silence speak

For within these moments, within  these tiny caplets 
of silence and empty sound
Are found so many  profundities,so many signs  
of Heavenness all around
We have, only,  to ready ourselves 
and be willing to stop this noisy-ness we have come to  know
To capture it completely: 
the  wonderfulness of Godness inside our heart and soul

So now, we know it: the recipe for eternal happiness
and everlasting peace of mind
Will we take the time to  invite it
into the our hearts and into our very busy time
Or will we continue on in the whirlwinds of endless have to's
of our every day
And deny ourselves, completely,  the serenity that can be part of all we do and say?

For within these moments, within  these tiny caplets 
of silence and empty sound
Are found so many  profundities,so many signs  
of Heavenness all around
We have, only,  to ready ourselves 
and be willing to stop this noisy-ness we have come to  know
To capture it completely: 
the  wonderfulness of Godness inside our heart and soul

I hear it said that: there are those who fill up every moment
with some kind activity
And haven't the time, for the silences of the soul
 that has been manifested to you and me
They rather run around, in that endless cycle,
 of having without ever being able to enjoy
Those very things they have acquired
through their endless push to have but cannot employ

For within these moments, within  these tiny caplets 
of silence and empty sound
Are found so many  profundities,so many signs  
of Heavenness all around
We have, only,  to ready ourselves 
and be willing to stop this noisy-ness we have come to  know
To capture it completely: 
the  wonderfulness of Godness inside our heart and soul

The songs of Autumn

The past few mornings have had a welcome chill
A cooler breeze has been tapping upon my window sill
Opening up the windows I can let them all come in
Freshness of the Fall with all its beauty enters within

And I sing them,  the songs of Autumn, inside my heart
Colorful images, of the fallen leaves, play their part,
In creating for me that restfulness they come to bring
Autumn is here,it is..and I can playfully sing..

There are still some signs of hurricane winds moving down below
But ..they are few and far between.. and are moving mighty slow
We watch the weather and we plan the routes that we'll  take
If they should come and cause our homes to shatter or shake..

And I sing them,  the songs of Autumn, inside my heart
Colorful images, of the fallen leaves, play their part,
In creating for me that restfulness they come to bring
Autumn is here,it is..and I can playfully sing

The geese are flying south ..and I can hear them passing by
Honking out some tunes as they form their units in the sky
Heading  out towards those warmer states down below
They announce the passing of summer.. as they go..

And I sing them,  the songs of Autumn, inside my heart
Colorful images, of the fallen leaves, play their part,
In creating for me that restfulness they come to bring
Autumn is here,it is..and I can playfully sing

Now the ambient is cooling and the earth is turning brown
The softness of the summer is giving way to firmer ground
Fall is here and readying us for that seasonal ice
And singing the preludes to winter that sound so nice..

And I sing them,  the songs of Autumn, inside my heart
Colorful images, of the fallen leaves, play their part,
In creating for me that restfulness they come to bring
Autumn is here,it is..and I can playfully sing

Free your heart

Holding grudges for too long
Makes you weaker but not strong
Remembering memories painful deep
Can only cut you: make you weep

So let them go now let them go
Every hurtful thing you know
Scars and sorrows; people too
Keep them far away from you..

Take the time now ...change it all
Seek a counselor.. make a call
Free your heart now free your soul
Let inner healing be your goal

No one's perfect: you.or  I ...
We must struggle; we must try
To be that person to be that one
Who conquers troubles as they come

Don't lose yourself in your reaching out for more...

Do not ever,  lose yourself in your reaching out for more
Don't forget your calling..and what you were truly  created for
The world can promise your riches and everything that it has
But nothing can last forever: and its promises cannot ever  last

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

I saw you, the other day: you were buying up all of those chances.
Hopeful wishes for more money.. enticing you with their glowing glances
You fell for it..all of their promises ..that were laid out for you that day
Now you are stuck inside that  rat race.. you once ran away from along the way

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

The clamoring of this world can become so very loud
It's hard to resist them: all of those cries  from the "popular crowd"
choosing to pull away  from it and not follow anything but your own tune
Is not something that would be popular or be encouraged any time soon

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

How much fun,  can it be, under the microscope of another person's glare:
Doing everything you can.. to have a part in their acquired share
Sure thing, it is, you can have everything... that you can ever want
But, you will never be truly happy:  trying to keep up  with this dictated front

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

Autumn day

Birds start chirping right away
At the start of this new day
Seeking, pecking, looking around
Food for family must be found

Songs serenely fill the air
Happy tunes are everywhere
Cardinals, sparrows blue jays too
Sounds like Heaven this is true

Squirrels, chipmunks soon appear
Darting, dashing, they're so near
Playing, tumbling, chittering too
Eyeing,spying, passing through

Leaves are crinkling making sound
As the creatures romp around
See them as they colorfully lay
They invite us all to play

Autumns here now: the air is crisp
Watch the branches turn and twist
Breezes bring a wintry chill..
Soon it'll be here.. yes it will.

Be thankful...

Be thankful, be grateful..and embrace every day
As gift and as providence that comes across your way
For you are truly special..you're graced from Above
Turn now and share it:  this gift of God's love

The morning .. the evening.. the day in between
Contains many blessings  you know what I mean
We need to ...and we must try to..to see with our eyes
All of God's goodness it isn't a surprise...

Take time now ..and take moments .. just a minute or two
To see what's around you... the wondefulness so  true
If you will take time now and make effort to see
You'll receive them, God's blessings: here for you and me

He sees everything..

God is in control and He sees everything
He may seem, so silent; but His Will will sing
Your struggles; your efforts, your ever day
Are always before Him ...  He'll make a way

The earth is so silent and it seems so still
But God is awake watching ...His love is real
No thing.. unnoticed; no unkindness.. unseen
Escapes His viewing ... He sees everything

So be patient and waiting..and let time reveal
What others are hiding and what others steal
Your Protector is watching and is ready to act
Your God is all seeing and that is a fact

Wintry winds

Grey skies are lingering  and we have a chillier air
Summer's finally leaving though we're hardly aware
Temperatures are dropping but slow to take their leave
Finally the season's changing and we can freely breathe

There is something solemn in the approach of this new day
Skies are hardly speaking and the wind is on its way
Hardly any movement while the stillness of this time
Creates an awesome backdrop for an truly Autumn rhyme..

Like a funeral procession, the creatures are all mum
They go about their business without frolicking or any fun
Gathering up their morsels they make a huge supply
Of wintry stash they can go to when all is cold as ice

And, so, we sing to You

The skies are pinkish at the start of this new day
While crickets and  cicadas are serenading away
An awesome energetic breeze is swirling around
How immense is the loveliness just waiting to be found

And, so, we sing to You our Creator at the break of this new day
Lifting hearts and voices in a most harmonic angelic way
With creatures of the earth we echo songs of saints
Who passed before us without pettiness or complaints

In a distance we can hear the humming of the cars
As we watch the last flickering of the nightly stars
We welcome morn like we are welcoming each new day
Praising God and thanking Him for all His loving way..

And, so, we sing to You our Creator at the break of this new day
Lifting hearts and voices in a most harmonic angelic way
With creatures of the earth we echo songs of saints
Who passed before us without pettiness or complaints

Tomorrow may not come; and yesterday is already gone
So, it is, we must do the best we can.. with the day we're on
Not lingering, too much, in the memories or daydreams unreal
We will find our strength in God who loving us: for real..

And, so,  we sing to You our Creator at the break of this new day
Lifting hearts and voices in a most harmonic angelic way
With creatures of the earth we echo songs of saints
Who passed before us without pettiness or complaints

What have we become

Before, ever, there were  any immigrants.. before ..you or me
Our land belonged to others who were  so bold and free
But ..then..we came and took  it.. and claimed it as our very own
And now we are, all,  barricading it..like a king upon his throne

What are we, all,  becoming... in this land of freedom's touch
If not something so ungodly that we take and take too much
Because of our first beginnings, we walk with so much frailty
And are grabbing and grabbing from others; denying them liberty

So if we are suppose to be loving...and living as God children, most dear
Why are we becoming so much more selfish:  our faith system's so unclear?
We've forgotten the Rock, of our Salvation and become for ourselves a God
And deny everyone else pursuing them:  these same freedoms and roads we trod..
