While here I saw the mockingbird call
Silently speak the words I seek
To answer life’s irresistible draw.
While here I saw the mockingbird sing
Of many things I’ve never ever seen
In this life’s dream.
Maybe tomorrow
The robin will sing
And I will see what I saw.

I didn’t draw, I wouldn’t paint
Little love, lots of hate
Time stood still
And seemed to crawl
No one knew
What could or would be all.
Focused on the wrong thing then
Didn’t know what was up
Or around the bend.
Hardship was a constant friend
Little laughter to ease my way
Just disaster each turn I made.
Then they came and held me up
Turned me round to see the light
Not just of love
But a grandeur life
Stroked my soul, made things right
This they did for me one night.
They stood behind, smiled and laughed
No judgement made in this my craft
What took so long?
You might ask
But only those who know
Can answer that.

Cheerful, smile
See life full.
Laughter, kindness
Make it well rounded
Not only full.
Step forward
Embrace the heart felt
Honour you can bestow.
Take it in
And let it go.
Out to the world
Beautiful, marvellous
Bringing us together
Completed, full.

Now we figure what must be done
The best for us and everyone
Not to hurt or harm the thought
But get it done to the best of the lot.
You can do it without a doubt
Focus on a solution
Please don’t pout
You are worth it
Just speak out.
Trash don’t bash that runabout
Course straight through
You must have no doubt
This is the best
The best about!

This is where we stand.
This is where we need to be.
All is well if we just listen.
Listen to what we need to see.

Post the lesson
See the dream
Embrace the love
Know the theme.
This is you
This is your
Treasured life
Make it all
A beautiful dream.

Smile and laugh.
See the world as a beautiful place to be.
See joy and beauty.
Caress the love you feel and that envelops your soul.

There lies the reason that I cry
No, not the one you’d think
But the reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Whenever I smile
Laugh and go ahead
Something in the back
Holds oh so much
Awful, awful dread.
Makes me cry
Makes me shed
Tears not of happiness
But
Those of monster dread.
Seek and find the reason
That I cry
Seek and find the reason
I feel like I want to die
When I think
Of that dreadful reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Bring it to the open
Expose it to the light
No more hidden
In the darkness of tear light.
Change those tears
And cry’s of sadness
To ones crying
In ecstasy and delight
My life will then not be hidden
In the darkness of tear light.

Solitary sweetness
Belief in the master plan
Smiling quietly as travelling
Down the path that expands.
Into a meadow
Full of promise and grace
Giving a chance at a life
With no mistakes.
Solitary time
Guided thru rhyme
Hearing the way
Of the master
Guiding with a master plan.
Never alone
On this solitary journey
Always there
With the master
Leading, guiding hand in hand.

See the mess and learn
How to clean it up
Do what it takes to make it not
Proud and bold step right up
To the job of cleaning up.
Not your room
I think not
Most likely just your life
Needs cleaning up.
Make room for order
Get rid of strife
Happiness and joy make it flow
Help you ease thru trouble
Trepidation, evil might
All that slows the clean up
fight.
Never mind
What’s come before
Focus
On the present life.
Clean it up
Make it right
Smile a lot, see the light
For you’ve seen a mess
And made it right in this
Your own clean up fight.
