No I haven’t
No I haven’t been
True to myself
True to the nature of all living beings
I must in the future
Now and forever be
True to myself
And then, only then
Will I be true to everything

Holding in my hands
the answer, the beauty
of
all that has come
will be


Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see
Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.
Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything.
Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.

Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.
Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words
I hope won’t make me cry.
And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.
The only thing left
Is for me to abide
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.
