I could have given you my heart
But there's someone whose torn it apart
And he's taken almost all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
The first cut hurts the deepest
Cat Stevens

You spoke those words to shock me
Coroner's report electrocution

There are those who are more enamoured
of dreams than reality
wherein lie their secret longings
cradled in imagination and fantasy--

to be in love with someone they had never met
to surrender to a face, a smile, a kiss,  a moment of ecstasy
beyond the pale of insipid daily living--
far transcending every earthly beauty.

No one else can take your place
It could never be any other way
Everyone has that precious gene
That is their unique expression of love



Be at perfect peace in all that you commune
Know that you have a place in this scheme
Accept your disappointments with dignity
Using courage to rise above lifes trials



Be powerful and responsible in your world
Choose friends who are loving and joyful
Show all that love is a free gift to accept
A great power sufficient for every situation



So stand tall my faithful friend of many years
As you wait outside the door of freedom
My love will walk beside you to watch you
Live to your highest potential with eyes that smile

Pure joy that second you awake
And then you remember

An eagle soars the sky seeing the whole
As the current of life flows through
Seeking all the beauty with soulful eyes
Listening to earths own  hearts song

Nature can teach us so many things
We should accept with gratitude
Mirrors of honesty acknowledge the sights
Stardust shimmers in unlimited time

Unconditional love the highest form
An abundance overflowing to all
It's bliss beautiful gentle and caring
Expressed so well in nature's devine

The deep crimson sea speaks to my soul
As I imagine dipping
Into her healing womb
Then allow her power and beauty
To gently bathe my broken spirit
Until he rises reborn
