Did you know...

 Today the winds are whispering such songs of gentle love
 Crying out with utmost carefulness: Give praise to God above
 He is the True Creator of the universe and all the sky
 The winds are carefullly whispering sweet songs for you and I

 The earth is humbly rumbling a soft rythmn for me and you
 It is challenging all our senses and our intellect it is true
 Through everything that is now growing and everything all around
 The earth is all transportive of the Great Immortal Sound..

 The sea is so surrendering its sounds of endless praise
 Through rushes of tides now forming and sound of crashing waves
 It is echoing all the Powerfulness and all the Majestic Might
 That began with Simple Whisperings and made both day and night.

 The hours are all expanding and all of the minutes are too
 They are carrying the Great Awakening the Eternal I Love You
 Yet we are all still sleeping and so deaf to all of this love
 The clock it keeps on ticking as He awaits us: the God above....

Do you have time?

Oh the soundings of this amazing early dawn
She is serenading all the creatures on the lawn
And those who wake to greet the early morning sun
Are in awe of all the activity that has already begun

The birds they wait around for their morning seed
But some will begin to peck around for what they need
All the world around me is starting to romp and creep
Through blades of grass that are slow to sigh or peep

Skies are graying because rain is wanting a little more time
To drench the earth with rythmic drops like some poetic rhyme
Fresh cooling airs are circling around as they appear
So very rare for this season and this time of year..

How beautiful, these moments, that are slowly passing away
Each second, that's expanding, has something nice to say
The words,  the sounds, are almost silent to the naked ear
So one must hush and be silent and allow the heart to hear...

Join me, now, if you think you have the will and time
To hear the earth as she is composing her poetic rhyme
Through every creature plantlet and the atmosphere
You wont be sorry you chose to open up some time to hear

Time to change

There's chatter in the household: a child's run away
Fingers start pointing: oh what can we say
After making the rounds about..who is at fault
They conclude by admitting: "it's the child" by default

And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
We dig for some reasons but find what is old
Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

The countries are now meeting with an agenda of peace
But politicians are sticklers and want it to cease
Too proud to admit it that  we can learn how to forgive
They strive to rally forces with  lies that they give

And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

The lion and the child will learn it some day
That peaceful coexistance can create a new way
Its promised through the pages of a biblical rhyme
Wild beasts and children will be friends in due time

 (Is: 11-6; Is: 11-8)

 And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

 The children are all learning from all that they see
 We have to acknowledge it:  we are who'll they'll be
 Before they can even spell it:  the word bigotry
 They can see it so embodied in you and in me

 And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

 So what will we do with this verse for today
Will we toss it a snicker and continue on our way?
 Or will we even consider it: that maybe it's true:
 A new world can be heralded by me and by you

 And we fail now to see it beyond all our pride
 The culprit for our failures is lurking inside
 We dig for some reasons but find what is old
 Anything to stop it: the truth from being told?

His Children

With kindness and caring, with compassion and love
This is how He has treated  us: the good God above
So, we, as His children, the recipients of this all
Should turn and be similar to the great ones and small

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days.

The tempter will always tempts us in everything we do
He will whisper the wrong things and distort what is true
A jealous one from the outset he will push us to be
Forgetful of the others and the promoters of  "ME"

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days

If we are not loving and not doing our best
To spread seeds of kindness and true happiness
We are only being selfish and not being the all
We were fashioned to be initially when God choose to call..

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days..

So turn to Him always and turn to Him right now
And tell Him you are ready by a promise and a vow
To be for Him always that vessel of grace
That will flow out to the world in every time and place

We are, all of us, children of an Immense Loving God
He is ever beside us on each road we trod
Though we are often forgetful in some of our ways
We are forever protected by the Giver of days

It isn't out there

What it is it that can make a person happy and make another  one really sad
Is it, the acquisition of so much money;  is having it... what needs to be had
Why is it, then,  that the rich and the famous: the ones who can own their own store
Are suddenly fallen the  sullen victims of the insatiable desire for more

Could it be, that,  the very act of our wanting: the desire that is moving us all
Is not something that can we can acquire ..but a Someone we need to re- call
The inner thirst that is keeping us moving.. the working ..the staying up all night:
Is it not the unquenchable realization, that we are insatiable till we rest in the Light

So we go on, with all of our searching: through books and the endless store;
Seeking out that one satisfaction that will silence all our desires for more
Thus  we buy and we buy and we travel; and we run till we can no longer  run
We end up in the same place where we started   the place where it all had begun..

Alive for me and you...

How slowly the morning overtakes the fleeing night
While sparrows and robbins serenade the approaching light
With chirping and melodies, they lift our souls from sleep
We can feel them and hear them: all the secrets that they keep

The rushing  could be so easy; but, what if we could pause
And savor every second:  so beautiful and without flaws...
The daylight, ever breaking and the sunlight always near
Both have their own versions of  "the creation"we can hear

So, soften, all your footsteps and step outside your door
And hear what is ever sounding and see what beauty is in store
The plantlets and the creatures and the grass so green we see
Are singing ever so sweetly and are inviting you and me

 I can tell you from experience from encounters real and true
 That the morning and the evening are alive for me and you
 We have only to take the moments and the seconds of each dawn
 To experience what is delightful before it is all withdrawn
