Yes, there is love.
There is beauty and magnificence.
I know.
I have experienced it.

Hear the water run
Hear it overflow.
Running down
The tree covered
Downslope.
Bringing fresh
And lasting life
To all it touches.
Bringing life
To those who live
Here upon the crest
Of ever life.
In hills of lovely
Lovely autumn life.

Try to judge what is best for you.
What makes you happy.
Makes your day.
I believe this will bring countless miracles into this your life.
And those surrounding, loving you.

Splish, splash
Running fast
Down the water
Running
Chasing those that swim
So fast.
Ducking
Diving
Hiding
Escaping jaws chasing
There in water running fast.
No chance of catching
They are evading.
Then something changes
One is separated
Forced up
On slick wet grass.
Holy cow!
Catch a fish so big
Is what I did.
But the question is
What do I do with it now?

Good news glad
Right there with
Bad news sad
Doesn’t matter cause
It’s the news you have.
Read it, write it
Say it loud
Bad news sad and
Good news glad.
Spread the word
Take it where you have
Good news glad along
With bad news sad.
That’s right
That’s all
That’s all
You have.

Knowing most what is best
Then we can securely rest
Proud we are, there we be
In all our glory set ourselves free.
You can go
I will stay
Dance to life
In my own funny way.

There goes the answer
Down the drain with the master
Strength to pull them out
Strength to know what it’s all about.
Not now, not now
Don’t falter
Don’t stumble
Keep your wits about.
The answer goes and speaks
Giving strength
To those who climb up
And get out.
That’s what the answer is all about.

Perish the thought
I must not get lost. Regroup and survive
I am alive.

Sadness comes
and goes
Strive to feel
The pain
Then let it go.
No use to dwell
And ponder
Just see it
And let it go.
It makes you
No less
It makes you
No more.
It just makes you
The one to love
For evermore.

Snow falls coming lightly down
Melting ‘fore hitting ground
Thoughts of pureness flowing down
Freezing out illness, blight
Softly pushing them far into night
Cleansing, keeping warm
Cold dark earth on the ground.
Snow falls I can see
Cleansing too my responsibility
I must be like the snow
Let it fall, let it go
Landing, changing all I know
Trust it’s right, trust it will
Make alright like the snow
Covers, warms the land
Til spring’s beauty can make a stand.

This my snow comes lightly down
Melting ‘fore hitting ground.
