Terrible times do occur
Marching lines, men’s faces obscure
No more joy, lightly skipping breeze
Heartache, morse pretty bleak.
Then the sun shines oh so bright
Lighting the way both day and night
No more tears, sadness blame
All is well once again.

Haven’t found the words
to say things
buried
deep in my heart
hidden
far, far away.
Will they give me
the secret
the key to my life
what needs to be said
what needs
forgiving?
Or
Have they already been said
those words
I’ve been seeking
needing
buried deep
already giving?

Holding still, breathing quietly
Deeply
Seeing
life
as it should be
Making
no changes
that would hurt another being
Hearing
magnificence
in
the beauty all around me
Pleased
that I’m here
that
I live now
Holding still, breathing quietly

Hang on
Gripping tight
See the light
Let go of negatives
Bask in rays of beauty
Light.
Be blessed
Be right
With all nature
As you let go
Of
Controls you needn’t need
Tonight.

Snow comes
falling down
covering
covering all that’s wrong
In the spring
We’ll see the flaws
Resurrecting goodness
Starting deep
Inside
Underneath it all
Rising to
Summer’s radiating warmth
And
Onto falling fall
Where fruition
Will be the harvest seen
As things die
In the late
Passing fall
Then once again
We’ll be beneath
Winter’s cold, cold snow
Covering
Covering all.

Let me feel
love and grace
let me embrace all this
that nature has to give
gives
with love and natural grace.
Let me not endure
for long
sadness nor despair
let happiness and love
prevail
chasing away all that’s wrong
all that doesn’t care.

May
Your heart be full of joy
Your words convey pleasure
Your eyes see pure beauty
Your ears believe.

Look out and see
Beauty
Breathtaking beauty
That
Seems not much
You may say
But
See, feel and hear
All the beauty
The breathtaking beauty
Unfolding
In front of you
Each and everyday.

I haven’t seen nor do I know
the answers to what you need
you think I know.
You must follow your heart
feel it’s rhythm beating
let it show you where to go
the path to take
believing.
For its been the only thing
that’s been there
since your existence
your beginning.
