Heaven help me
Be a kind, gentle human being
Let no one come to be
My arch rival, my enemy.
Let me see kindness
Majesty
In every creature
Every human being.
Let no one be sacrificed
Just because
They haven’t seen
The light.
Let us all be one
Together
Loving, holding each other
Very tight.
So that we sleep peaceful
Throughout
The quiet, troubled
Night.

Don’t let me say
The words I don’t want to hear
Please let me speak the words
That’ll guide me away
Far away from here.
Let me do
What needs to be done
Let it be something beautiful
And nothing
I would want undone.
That is all I ask
That is all I can do
Let me be happy
With these words, these things
I will, I can do.

Quietly, softly the breath intakes
listening
to the heart
explodiate
Kaboom, Kaboom
The legs take their feet for a walk
while
the arms hold close the hands
caressing the softness
of love
seen by the eyes
as
the ears listen
to
the quiet heart
go
Kaboom, Kaboom.

Don’t tell me
I must be the same
same as you, not me.
Don’t tell me
my beating heart
doesn’t count.
Don’t tell me
my thoughts are just lies.
Don’t tell me
the tears I weep will never
bring back ones lost.
Don’t tell me this
I ask of you
I plead, I cry.

I don’t care
if you’re white or black
whether you’ve seen the sacred cow
or
any of that
that
makes us different
in
thoughts and acts
we are still human beings
we are family
joined
it seems
to live life as best we can
making
full of love for all
all
of us
humans
and
other beings.

Seek
Then you shall find
Hidden treasures
Most divine.
Where
Did they come from
When
Did they arrive?
Is the secret
The answer
You need to answer
To surmise.

No one can
or
will be
the essence of me.
Me, alone
is the only one
I am.
Pure with faults
that’s who
who I am, I can
will be.

I know
you haven’t been
the one
to make a difference
in my life.
That can only be
has to be
my purpose
my only purpose
forever, ever be.

When I hear your heart beat
I know you are near
embracing
me
comforting
supporting
me
When I hear your heart beat.

Hear the bells ring
Some birds sing
While chimes announce
The coming of daylight
In the early morning spring.
All is right
All will be as nature
Deems it to be
Far into the quiet darkness
Of night’s fading light.
