I breathe in the Divinity

I breathe in the  Divinity
Its in everything  I see
In the very depths of me
I am entertaining the Trinity

I see the Greatest God Divine
Everything becomes His Shrine
Reflecting His Most Sacred Shine
He comes out of this poor heart of mine.

Oh the most sacred sound of love
Echoing from the Great Above
Warming us like a winter glove
Its more than we can ever dream of..

Let us take some time today
From all the busy-ness and play
To whisper words and humbly say
Thank you Creator of the day..

Something we're taught....

From the earliest years we're taught to compete
In the tenderest minds the seed to defeat
Running and romping to be number one
Is something we're taught once school has begun

Somewhere in history this all had a start
Removing compassion and distancing  heart
Striving within you to be on the top
There's never a reason to give in or stop....

Lending to neighbors without a receipt
Is like running a race and accepting defeat
You just never do it its always about me
Running the race and achieving victory..

It's all related

Mother nature has been rumbling
Beneath the buildings slowly crumbling
Winds are blowing earth is quaking
Flooding cities: news is breaking

If  the sounds and sighs we're hearing
Doesn't give a sense of fearing
Warring peoples pushing forward
Frighten people they move toward...

Human nature sees the tragedies
As unrelated painful tapestries
But the truth, so far from reasoning,
Tells us wars give quakes their seasoning

Where is wisdom?

I will be silent and I will be still
I will let quietness  enter my will
I will hear mysteries; I will hear all
Everything unspoken will quietly call

Out in the elements or inside alone
I will be listening and still as a stone
Until I can hear it and until I can see
I will pursue it, the wisdom that's free

It's not in the whirlwind,  not in the crowd
It won't be heard shouting or screaming out loud
But inside of  the stillness, away from it all
Wisdom will be speaking to great ones and small.

We're grateful and thankful for all you have done

For all who have fallen when fighting for right
Who made that last sacrifice and fought that last fight
Who gave of their life's blood and surrendered their all
This day is to honor them and help us  recall.

The wars and the battles throughout all the years
Created our heroes that left us in tears
Unable to return to us succumbing to war
Memorial day welcomes them back to us once more

The flowers and families that gather this day
Say to the departed what we wanted to say
We're grateful and thankful for all you have done
But wish that those battles had never begun...

For all of those soldiers who never came back
We call up those memories that enveloped that act
That held your last moments and held your last day
You  sacrificed everything, what more can we say

Thank you and bless you for giving up your all
For breathing your last moments in response to a call
To protect us and everyone from those who do wrong
You'll always be remembered in verse and in song.

If only we could cherish it

Look at each flower and touch every tree
Feel all the sweetness that invites every bee
Hear all the soundings and listen with ease
Thousands of stories are inside the breeze

Look here intently and touch all the earth
Witness the beauty of life after birth
Plant life and animals and humanity too
Everything's a discovery just waiting for you

Taste of the fruit trees and drink of the sea
Eat of the nourishment: it's here bountifully
Observe what is visible and ponder what is not
Everything is provided without being sought

If only we could cherish it; if only we could love
Everything we were given from the Great One above
All things would be beautiful and all things would sing
Of the first days of Eden, when God created everything
