I kept it all silent year after year...

Did you ever know how much I cried
And were you aware of how hard I tried
To keep my sanity  in such a  place
Where abusive words were mixed with grace

The alleluias, they  would always resound
From every one of us around and around
Yet away from the churches and  the pews
We were badly wounded and so abused...

I kept it all silent year after year
Because of the teachings I used to hear
Suffering and sainthood were such a pair
To speak of a heartache : I wouldn't dare!!

Now I'm a grownup and I'm finally all free
From the chains the old religion had imposed  on me
Making my healing a more certain thing
Erasing old  memories and removing the sting..

I hear Him.....

I hear Him in my spirit, this Spirit of our Lord
He's whispering in my being and inspiring  my word
He's echoing  in my moments and brightening up my way
The Beloved is my Savior and He's always in my day

Through my every struggle and through the darkest night
These ever glowing spirits are directing my steps aright
Talking within my silence  and leading my heart with care
The angels are my warriors and  protectors of my prayer

Bonded by the  Eternal and united through Him as one
Everything we've been doing is affecting everyone
We who are all so different are all similar in this way
The Almighty has given us being and has given us today...

Let it last...

Quietly the morning is crawling into my space
Tiny bands of daylight are dancing upon my face
Sweet sounding songbirds are singing out their tune:
Stormy weather's a-coming, it'll be thundering soon

See the sky, all trembly, as it is turning grey
Breezes are all whispering: clouds have lots to say
Somber shades and colors give warnings we can't hear
Thunder storms and lightning are slowly drawing near

Scampering squirrels are playing without a single care
Soon the flowing raindrops will be falling everywhere
Continuing with their movements and dancing through grass
Creatures and tiny insects are making ever moment  last..

Flowing waters from the sky...

Flowing waters from the sky
Bouncing off of you and I
Creating diamonds in our eyes
Tiny tear drops from the skies.

Sprinkling showers here and there
Moisturizing all of our air
Pitter-pattering all around:
Soothing, healing, creative sound.

All the powerful-ness of rain:
Easing, curing, relieving pain
Falling  gently and all around
In it collections of hope  is found

We're creating a dark energy...

Soft is the whisper through all of the breezes
Its uttering a  hope and a cure for our disease
A changing of fragrances and a stop of those rushes
Is the secret to healing with its twist and its touches

Enough of those chemicals. those toxins and such
The things  we keep on doing are hurting us too  much
The drinking and the smoking and those vapors escaping
Are atmospheric catastrophes in their silence incubating...

There's  need for more planning and thinking more green now
Its ever more urgent; yet we don't have the time somehow
We're abusing the gifted-ness of  the world  all around us
We're creating a dark energy that's fueling our need to fuss..

It's not the end of the world...

It's not the end of the world, though it may look like it is
There's something more a-coming: something much better than this
It may seem to be so very disheartening; this thing you can't escape
But your ship will soon be arriving it's just a tiny bit  late

Don't be giving into those feelings of: "everything's going all wrong"
Though the grey skies may be lingering; they won't be for very long
The challenges of this moment may seem to be too hard for you to bare
But you're not in this flying solo; you have your angels everywhere..

Don't listen to all of those naysayers those backbiters of your day
You don't have to become a statistic or be governed by what "they say"
You're such a beautiful being and a masterpiece:  one of a kind
Take hold of everything within you and keep guard of your precious mind.
