What is accomplished by war?

Needing some silence and needing some peace
Because of the violence that everybody sees
Many are the newscasts that are reporting of war
Would that these rumors would continue no more.

Its hurting to the spirit that moves everywhere
Violence and fighting are contaminating the air
Using destruction to create some sort of fright
Will keep everyone fearful struggling for light.

I find it so very painful to think of these days
Innocent lives lost because of a selfish man's ways
Solving great problem but creating so many more?
What is accomplished by the initiation of war?

The beauty that's around

Take some time to ponder over all the beauty that's around
Hear the noises of the universe how  soothing is her sound
There is a certain peacefulness that will overtake our will
When we listen to the universe and let our hearts be still.

See them as they're floating by: the clouds inside the sky?
They're carrying so much energy as they pass by you and I.
SO beautiful yet so powerful: these graceful images of the air
They appear so very wonderful but can be destructive if they tear

Too many times we will miss it all this beauty that's around
We cannot hear it's whisperings beneath the multitude of sound
So we need to make some effort to find the silence and the peace
Which comes to those who withdraw awhile from all the world sees.

Rumors of war

In a distance there are rumors of a war that is brewing
People do not understand what it is their leaders are doing
So when the bombs are falling and the mortar shells are flying
Many who are not prepared will be among those who are dying.

Sometimes the news is  disheartening and the media clips so sad
Why must we continue this violence that is created by the very bad?
Must it always be through the blood shed and the destruction of the other
What has happened to the theory that everyone is my sister and brother?

So we're returning to the flaunting of muscles and of our military power
The end result will never be so glorious when hatred begins to flower
For in destruction there's never a positive and unbeautiful is the end
When war becomes the answer and fiery responses is what we send.

We have inside us..

We have it inside us to be truthful and kind
It's deep in our spirit and part of our mind
Yet some of us fail to respond to this Light
And thus some will carry the darkness of night

It's deep in our being and so molded inside
A touch of the Eternal we're unable to hide
Constantly wanting it: the unique and the new
The Energy of Eden keeps Shining right through

Though many will taunt it and call it a sham
There's One who is Infinite and the greatest "I Am"
And the theories and reasonings that others will name
Will always fall short of the Infinite One's claim.

Tenderly the morning sings

Tenderly the morning sings to my soul in sleep
Waking me from all my dreams from the rest I keep
Whispering with a gentleness that is void of noise
The spirit is an echo of the Infinite Being's voice.

Slowly I am awakening to a music so so blest
The universe is in harmony with my spirit's rest
Quietly making melodies for all the world around
Creatures carry the rhythm an ever peaceful sound.

See the flowers swaying with the early morning breeze
Hear the plants their singing see the majestic trees?
All the world is waking with a most melodious song
And we have all been invited to sing and join along..

Rising from the earth

Beautiful melodies rise from the earth
Singing of  autumn and a future rebirth.
How luminous the colors that fall all around
Summer is passing: leaves are on the ground.

Quietly the season is making her changes
Temperatures are falling and  time rearranges
Seasonally sounding: the universe is calling
Creation is embracing  whatever is befalling.

Goodbye dearest summer the season's been fun
We'll see you again when the spring time is done.
The memories, the smiles you brought us each day
Will keep us all warm when the chill comes our way.
