God's around

 The silenceness, before the morning is speaking out to me

Inviting softly; challenging deeply: "See what you can see:

In the moments, and in  the hours and in the everywhereness all around

See the mysteriousness, and the amazingness  so much waiting to be found"

So I listen and I look out, intently  into the silenceness everywhere

Through  my heart space; within my being; God is speaking with greatest  care

Through the daylight and the creatures; through the quietness without sound

I can hear it, all the  mysteriousness, speaking softly:  God's around

The more I listen the greater the distance I find that I must go

From the present into the mysticalnesss:  to a place we  cannot know

Without the leaving of the everything  into  the All-ness of the One

We cannot ever find the reality  of the Eternal Spirit, Father, Son

So I listen and I look out, intently  into the silenceness everywhere

Through  my heart space; within my being; God is speaking with gentle care

Through the daylight and the creatures; through the quietness without sound

I can hear it, all of the  mysteriousness, speaking softly:  God's around

Now I invite you,    into your own being,  into your silenceness,  into your space

For some moments without distraction-ness for some moments of lasting grace

Oh, hear it,  speaking out, so loudly silent ; so deep within you;  so alive:

All the mysteriousness; all of the wisdomness: all the secrets to survive

So I listen and I look out, intently  into the silenceness everywhere

Through  my heart space; within my being; God is speaking with greatest  care

Through the daylight and the creatures; through the quietness without sound

I can hear it, all the  mysteriousness, speaking softly:  God's around

Surprising weather

 How the weather can  surprise

There's been heat and there's been ice

If you're watching you can see

Headlines speaking: TRAGEDY

In the south the snow did come

With sheets of ice for everyone

While the winds in  Carolina's blew

Iced up windows broke in two

What's so mysterious ..you can see

Ice is where the heat should be

And the winds that twist and tore

Blew across a frozen floor

Mother nature's all mixed up

Terrible things  fall from her cup 

Where we think we'll drink delight

Sorrows  come  out   dark as night

What is happening; who can know

But we're seeing quite a show

Unexpectedness:  northern rains

And the south  with icy panes

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is for everyone: for lovers and all

For couples, for singles, for great ones and small

For remembering the sweet things and remembering to love

For giving out flowers and candy and stuff

Valentine's Day is for thinking about everyone with care

For sending out  heart shapes and greetings  everywhere

It was named after a prisoner who was trying to lift up

Family and townsfolk who were saddened by stuff

It's  become so commercialized, so cheapened by price

That we almost forget "this": that it's about being nice

This day is about loving and  about keeping up hope

For reaching out to everyone with a simple love note

So don't be so saddened if you're  the single one.. today

Valentine's were first given out to everyone on the way

You  can still become that recipient ...that giver of love

And that is why I am encouraging you: rise above the stuff

Happy Heart Day and Valentine's Day and ..I love you all

You're  special ..  you're  thought of and  let the cards fall

Today and forever and for everyone, every day

Let us, each of us, be valentines.. for everyone along the way

Friendship

 What a wonderful thing to have a friend

Someone who's there from start to end

Someone who cares when no one else does

A friend is a find that's always enough

A friend is a person who's one of a kind

They're present when needed but so hard to find

More valuable then treasures or monies  galore

A friend is a fortune and so much much more.

If you're  into investing and wanting to succeed

Spend all of your efforts into  planting the seed

Of friendship and caring and being that one

Who's labeled that person who's never outdone

We don't know what we're looking for

 With all the voices rising up

There are still some absent from all this stuff: 

The Native Americans: the purest ones

Who held this land till overrun

While we're all fighting they can see

How we're all creating this travesty...

This restless bickering, this endless fight

Is Karma returning to us: what is right

Though silently living and so unheard

The first Americans send up a word

That truth is truth and right is right

We say we see; but we're all so blind

We took this land with blood and hate

And now we're seeing the price we've paid

We grab and grasp and stay so  poor

Because we don't know what we're looking for

While natives dance and we all fight

The greatest Spirit brings us Light: 

If we would live and see things right

Our egos must die and hearts unite

Lovely rain

 A gentle rain is falling down

Soothing rythm soothing sound

Touching  softly sweet release

Bringing calm and bringing peace

Grayish skies; but lovely rain:

Hear it touch the window pain

How it lulls me: gives me sleep.

Heavens blesses us as they weep

All the earth is sparkling bright

With the glow of Heaven's light

It is reflecting in each drop

God is speaking..please don't stop.
