Living

Live your life to the fullest, embracing each day
Let not the fear of death enter your heart
Trouble no one about their religion
Respect others in their own views,
But demand that they respect yours
Love your life, perfect your life,
Make everything in your life a thing of beauty,
Seek to make your life long and full,
And devote its purpose [...]

Yesterdays and Tomorrows

Would you have me live in yesterdays
Holding to the what ifs, the might have beens,
I’m repentant my love, but I must live for today,
For I would have our tomorrow begin fresh and new.
All the yesterdays you hold are dead
Long gone, they will see the suns light no more,
Our tomorrow rests just ahead
And with each step [...]

Four Steps

I look into the pool and see my reflection.
I become aware of my sense of self, the core of me.
But the pool does not mirror back the whole of my being.
Thus begins my First Great Awakening.
Lessons acquired by my quiet listening within
Simply learning I am more than what I see.
I have learned that death is [...]

Tell Me of Love

The way you are, a vision divine
Any man would die to simply see your face
What are you doing with a fool like me
What did I do for you to share your life with me?
So this night I ask for answer to my plea
How did I ever win your love, warm your heart?
What did I do, [...]

You Know it Will

Thinking about how many times I have fallen from the light
Inner blessing lost to the dark voices calling loud and luring
A most special blessing from the heavens brought you to me
And I cannot forget
I have been all around the world
Forever looking for that woman to share my path, complete me
That special someone who knows our [...]

For As Long As I Am

The slightest touch of you sets my very soul afire
A glance from you enough to restart my weary heart
In unbridled wonder I hear words I never dreamed of
Amazement that this little I have to offer is all you need or want
I hold on, wrapped tightly in this heaven of your love
Can there be a greater [...]

The Battle

Lady of the light where are you gone
Briefest of glance as she turned and is lost,
Prince of Peace astray in the gloom of despair
And Raven’s cries still echo across this empty land
While I am left here to walk the night road alone.
But I dance in the darkest of the night,
Singing my call to a morning [...]

Carry On

I awoke in sadness unbearable
For I knew you were really gone
This imperfect new day, this now darkened path
Pale, washed out dawn sky, you gone your way, I mine
How can I carry on with this emptiness inside?
Clearing sky, night stars yet shine,
Have I cried enough, pain filled soul
The new sun comes up, the world softened and [...]

Who We Are

While talking to a friend today, the conversation turned to just how hard it is to live with some of the memories we have. We weren’t talking about all of the good memories of course. Not the memories of your first kiss, your first crush, the first time the first bike, the one [...]

Painted Dreams

Blank canvas, filled to the depths with a wonder of image
Timeless as the temples of the old ones
Seconds pass till breath returns
The brush once released, dripping in crimson
Giving birth unto future incarnate
Cloistered in rhythm, a streaming of vision
An opening of sight, and you come…
Then and now, anew and renewed
I have always known you
Ancient and new, [...]
