Sadness again rears it’s head
As I think of those we’ve lost
Those that are now dead.
Lived lives we did share
Held them close, loved them
But now despair.
Remember
Remember those gone
Not so much with sadness
But rejoicing love forever long.

Anger, frustration seems to be
My method of operation
Thinking thoughts bitter
And angry today.
Can’t seem to find the way
Or the answer to my questions
I need
I need them today.
All is a quandary
Just unseen and blind
For me to see
On this day.
Maybe I should step back
Breathing deeply
Maybe, I’ll find answers,
This way.
I won’t be bitter or angry
I’ll find my route, my path
I’ll be on my way.

Let me hold all that is holy
Feeling the radiance
Flow thru my body
Into the universe
As all is sacred and well.
Let me be part
Of that universe
Feeling those worlds above
While in harmony with
That which is around
And beneath me.
Let me feel these things
And let me just
Be me.

I have not seen anything
I’ve looked and looked
But nothing, nothing.
My soul cries
Hoping to hear a answer
A answer for all these tears.
My feet do walk the world over
Treading, walking
Walking to find sacred ground
Where I can lie
Lie next to things that happened
Long ago, so profound.
Is this my journey’s life
A life lived seeking answers
Where answers are not to be found.
I hope, hope this is not
What will be
Will come to be around.

Holding on
Holding fast
Letting the world twirl round.
Standing on solid ground
I hold on
Hold on, hold on.

USGS Photograph taken on May 18, 1980, by Austin Post.
I saw the earth
Come crashing down
Pounding land
I heard the sound.
No one moved
No one gasped a breath
A sound.
When I heard the earth
Come crashing down.

Seek and you shall find
Heaven, heaven
Oh so divine.
Lose and you are lost
To wander in a quandary
So complex no ending
Will be yours or mine.
But in between
Live a life free and joyful
And the universe will
Come together
To combine, both worlds
So divine.

Don’t let the world cheat you
By not telling the truth
As known it to be.
Let not the hidden monsters be
The ones controlling
Your thoughts, your actions
Anymore.
No, tell them to go to Hell
And settle there forever
Forever more.

Let the horns sound
the sky cry
words of love now
and in
the bye and bye.
Let arms embrace
the soul that gives life
holding up for all to see
the future
so clear, so bright.
