I know
it’s coming
something unseen
unstoppable
something that
will explode
my reality
it’s hopeless
oh…
b-u-r-r-p!

We start as seeds
life exploding from shattered shells
reaching out in search of form
feeding from the garden of being
stretching
straining
up
to find the promise
of light

In the caverns of my mind
I seek,
the perfect words to find
That I may tell a story bold
That sparks the eyes as it unfolds
I test them each across my lips
For rhyme, for sound,
they seldom fit
Plunge on, I must,
with driven need
to satisfy my wordy greed
I trust that lost
deep in my brain
perfection hides
then laughs
again

Memories
Gasping from my lofty climb
I search for shadows left behind
The ghosts of journeys
once so strong
how can it be
they’re so far gone
In this forlorn solitude
my spirit aches to be renewed
to share the path of life again
to walk beside a noble friend
Comes a surge of unseen screams
a flood of faces from past dreams
warm memories sooth my aching heart
I climb again to find my part

Returned
I am the prince
Returned from shadows past
From lives before
To claim my throne
I am the God I am
I run no more
From distant thunder
Fear no loss from any man
My wounds are healed
My heart is whole
I am the God I am
I am the sun, first morning light
I am the wind caressing souls
I am the moon, the purest love
I am the God I am
I am the sky, the talking stars
I am the fire, forever free
I am Creation, the lovers’ passion
I am the Light in you

Truth
In the stillness of my soul
Resides the light of truth
So soft
So strong
This light shines on
the one, the only route
Through storm tossed thoughts
on passion’s waves
in loneliness
lost weary days
the flicker of that warming hope
pulls heart again
up life’s steep slope
And in the quiet moment
now
Beyond the mind,
past sight
I know that I am loved
This sacred
holy
night
