Alone time

Listen to the sounds of the world that is around you
Let the whispering universe soothe and entertain you
All the earth is singing out. Crying out is each stone.
Secrets of the universe come out  when we are alone

Noisy-ness can block it out: the beauty everywhere
Quiet down enough to hear the secrets in the air
It contains the mysteries of time before it was
Revelations comes to those who silence all the buzz..'

Time there is for frivolity and time there is for not
Each must balance equally to give us what is sought
Only in the absence of all that isn't all
Can we find the beautifulness of the great and small

You are not what happened to you

Are you broken and weeping and lost along the way
Are you seeking some direction some friendship in your day
You're not all that awfulness that terribleness you've been through
No, your beautiful, you're amazing and  precious in all you do..

Don't let all of that trauma-ness and  hurtfulness attack
All of those qualities that you think that you lack..
For inside of your being-ness: the Spirit-ness does shine
With of those qualities from  the good God Divine...

Yesterday's tragedies and  disappointments galore
Keep poking at your memories but hurt you no more
Scarring you forever your  abusers now gone
Cannot touch your inner beauty or silence your song..

All of those hurts from yesterday....

All of those hurts from yesterday won't just disappear
They create in is some tendencies, and a whole lot of fear
Accepting that they're part of us and who we are today
Will help us learn to cope with them, though they never go away

Some may judge us ruthlessly and claim we're just a show
Preaching to us of healthiness and how we should let them go
But memories of those broken years, that make us want to hide
Are not something that will go away just because we decide

Etched inside of the inner walls of the neurons in our mind
Are triggering visions of the past that somehow stayed behind
Poking us with their stimuli and reminding us of what we know
They hurt us over and over again till we show them where to go..

Each of us has had some sort of past that brings back memories
But not everyone will know the path of the most painful tragedies
So everyone of us should strive to be a light for  everyone
Not knowing who it is we'll  meet with heartaches on the run..

Happiness is free

Filtering through the branches with an intention to please
Are the golden rays of sunshine: brightening up the trees
Touching upon the window sills and dancing across the sky
The morning star is so dazzling, so challenging to you and I

The beautifulness of this morning and the loveliness so sublime
Is what inspires the poet and  artist into some creative time
Masterpieces upon some canvas or some verses within a rhyme
Can tell us and all the world that happiness doesn't cost a dime

So let us make it our one ambition our goal in life to see
The beautifulness of each moment and of all of humanity
Never becoming too busy to see it or too tangled up to  hear
The voices and views of everything that is living far and near

Regret....

Don't wait till it's too late to apologize..
  This can be anyone's song or story...

Without ever speaking I spoke to you
With  things that I did and chose to do
Without ever speaking you responded too
Your actions revealed that we were through

IF for a moment I could take it all back
Whatever it was and all that I lack
We'd still be together and wouldn't be through
I wish I did better the things that I do...

Sometimes I am thinking how it would be
If I were more thoughtful and not so much "me"
I wonder and wonder if I would have tried
Would "we"  be together..would "we" have died?

IF for a moment I could take it all back
Whatever it was and all that I lack
We'd still be together and wouldn't be through
I wish I did better the things that I  do....

The story's now over but a new one's begun
I'm hoping this time I'll do good what is done..
The lessons I've learned from the breaking apart
Has taught me about boundaries and taught about heart

IF for a moment I could take it all back
Whatever it was and all that I lack
We'd still be together and wouldn't be through
I wish I did better the things that I  do....

We're needing a healing....

This broken heart, this fragile mind
Has known the hurts of all mankind
The news, the media, the internet
Speak of the things I can't forget

We are a people, so broken so afraid
Our prejudices cry out and are displayed
We fear to love and we love to hate:
We're needing a healing. It's getting late

My eyes, my ears my soul inside
Has wept for love for acts of pride
The spirit speaks it cries out loud
Be true to self, not to the crowd

We are a people, so broken so afraid
Our prejudices cry out and are displayed
We fear to love and we love to hate:
We're needing a  healing. It's getting late

Oh can we not see it or are we so blind
That we cannot envision it:  we're intertwined
We are so connected:  the great and the small
That when one person's weeping, it's really us all:

We are a people, so broken so afraid
Our prejudices cry out and are displayed
We fear to love and we love to hate:
We're needing a healing. It's getting late
