Let me know what is right
What I need
To make it thru this dark night.
Hallowed honour makes the mistake
Thinking its important
What’s at stake.
Nothing matters most of all
Just let me know the name, the voice
I need to call.

Beautiful sun glows light
Filling sky, filling changing night
Beautiful sun does
What nothing else can do
Bringing life
Conceived in the dark of night
Light rises in the sky
As beautiful sun, morning light.

Sadness is
A part of life along with heartache, chaos
Unnecessary strife
No amount of humour will make them go away
They stay
Belonging to those that breathe sadness in their day.
Sadness though
Can too, live in a heart full of love
Along with kindness, gentle touch
And
Unconditional love.

If I had not got lost, I would never have found myself.

My heart writes another story
Storing it in the middle of eternity
Not to be beholden to anybody
Just out there living, living the story.

Green is green is showing thru
Leaves are leaving snow white melting too
Buds budding bringing life
Spring has sprung there is new life.

Destined to travel a winding road
Occasionally rough, sometimes cold.
Staying to the path can be hard
Any presence must be bold.
Looking at that what lives on my path
My feet move to the left, then to the right.
Forward, backward, all is and seems right
As my destiny travels the road to the light.

Sadness is something
Sometimes, I want to be immersed in
Crying, silently
No joy to share
Not a drop, empty, hollow
I just can’t stop the affair.
Sadness does live with me
I allow her in
She stays with me
I don’t love her much
But still she’s been a comfort
Living here, amid my lonely thoughts.
Sadness, she pulls me in
Holding, engulfing me
In a place that’s sad
So lonely
Crying, lying deep within
Becoming such a tragic sin.

Not
Knowing is nothing
Not
Hearing is something
Not
Feeling is everything.

When all the world whirls round
When a stranger stops and bends to the ground
When the heart feels compassion for those lost, wandering around
When no one knows hunger, anger or bad attitude
When we see magnificence in this body called me
That’s
When we’ll be living heaven on earth
Heaven on earth is where we all should be.
