Its easy to get attached
To the things of the world
Its easy to get stuck
In the muck
Settling for
Earthly gains
Settling for less
Than what we actually deserve
Getting attached
To all the things
That hold us
All of the things that hold us down
Attached to the Earth
Stuck on the ground
Not truly being able
To soar into heaven

Even though
You are only 12
You have the wisdom
And soul
Of someone
Who has
Experienced
A lot in life
I saw who
You were
Even when
You couldn't
I love you
Like a sister
And I will
Continue
To love
And to guide
You
Constantly
Watching
Over you
And helping
You along
Your way
I can't wait
To see the
Wonderful
And beautiful
Woman
I know
You will
Turn out
To be
In the
Meantime
Keep that
Wonderful
Beautiful
And sweet
Spirit that
You have
Don't let
Anyone
Take that
Away
I will be
Watching
And praying
And hoping
That all of
Your dreams
Come true
From me to you

Being triumphant
Is about facing your fears
Facing yourself
Facing where you have been
Facing others
Facing your inner demons
That try and shake you
Getting past the lies
Illusions
The troubles
The pollution that the world can throw at you
Transcending yourself
Becoming a better you
Giving back with love
Learning to love yourself
Learning how to love others
Being open enough to accept life for what it is
Being open enough to accept every other life as well
As being part of the grand scheme
Being at peace with yourself
Being at peace with where you are
Being at peace in your spirit
Truly knowing who you are
Rising up until you shine triumphantly
For everyone else to see.

Being calm through the storm
Can be just as simple
As taking the time
To trust yourself

Allow that calm
That only you can bring
Take away the hurt
Bring me to that peace
That inner well of strength
That only you can bring
Peace be still
Turn away
The troubles of the day
Just be still
I feel
I know
You are there
Calming me
Calming my spirit
Filling me
Peace be still
Calm my heart
Calm my mind
So I can move forward
Ready to fight
Another day

I don't believe that any body on this site is aware of my recent diagnosis of Huntington Disease and I wanted to get the chance to let  all of you guys know and even though it has been a while since I have written anything new I still wanted to share it with you guys. I will let you guys know more as things progress but if you have any questions to ask about it just shoot me a message in this post and I will try to answer them as honestly as possible. I have come to enjoy your poetry and I have appreciated any positive comments you have left on my poetry too so I at least wanted to give you guys the heads up about it and where I am at with it.

Butterfly heart
With Gossamer wings
Floating in the
Gossamer sky
I see your wings
Extending from
Your heart
Blowing butterfly kisses
To wayward fairies
Who have lost their way
Giving life and flight
To the wings of the night
To that angelic spirit
That consumes your soul
As you extend your wings
And you extend your heart
Fly with me with your
Gossamer wings
As we sail across
The sky together
Sailing through the mist
Sailing through the fog
Carrying all of those
Who are lost in flight
Searching for their wings
But can't quite make it
Off the ground
Searching for that
Angelic light
To uplift and to
Help them soar
Carrying along
On the breeze of life
Butterflies marching together
Marching toward the dawn
As we migrate and move
To a new horizon
An unknown destiny
As we fly together
Sailing along on the breeze
Lets fly together
Lets let our wings
Take flight
Lets fly above
The world
And look down
Looking down
At all of the troubles
Looking down
At all of the strife
Putting it behind
And below us
As we sail together
Into the night sky
Butterfly hearts connected
As we dance together
In the night

In my dreams I see millions of fireflies flying in the dark and illuminating the night with their heavenly light.
As I am watching this scene unfold I see hundreds of frogs on the horizon as they march slowly towards the fireflies I witness a grisly scene. I start to see right before my eyes that the fireflies are being eaten by the frogs. At first one by one but soon hundreds of fireflies have fallen to the skillful tongues of frogs until only a handful of fireflies remain and then there is only one firefly left. Even as the frogs are trying to get that one last firefly it is brighter and lighter than the rest and it is able to easily avoid the tongues of the frogs until it begins to rise above the frogs and into the sky free from the frogs at last. I feel like sometimes we can be like fireflies sharing our light but when troubles come we can easily be swallowed by the frogs of life that try to bring us down but as long as we keep our inner light strong in ourselves we can be like the last firefly left easily avoiding the frogs of life that try to bog and you will rise any trials that life has to offer.

Air
by Ahmad ***
There is air between us
That touches everything
Every part of the world
Has touched some other part of the world
At some time or other
We are all living in air
There is air that we breathe
That is in us all
That is in everything
Even the deepest depths of the ocean
To the deepest cave
Still has some air
Touching
Swirling
Caressing us all the same
It blows with force sometimes
To let us know it's there
None of us are separated
Though we are separated by space
Separated by time
There might be air in between
But all of our hearts are connected
In their own ways
And every single one of us
At some point in our lives
Has been recycled by the Earth
And by the air
And by the ground
Recycled and reused
Death and rebirth
Played over and over again
Until we all are apart of each other
And we are a part of the Earth
We can't deny it
We all live here on this Earth
Breathing the same air
Taking up the same space
Living together on this Earth we call home

The look of love
It's on your face
A feeling that time
Can not erase.

Be mine tonight
This is the start of
So many nights
Like this.

Let's make a lover's vow
And we'll seal it with
A kiss.

I can hardly wait to
Hold you
Feel my arms
Around you.

So long have I waited
Waited just to love you
Feel my arms around you

You have got the look of love
It's in your eyes
That time can't deny

Be mine tonight
And there will be
So many more nights
Like this.

I can hardly wait to
Hold you feel my arms
Around you

So long have I waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so.

Affirmation
Sometimes all it takes
Is a little positive affirmation
That can really speak to us
That can help to guide us
When we feel like life is off track
Helping us
To understand who
We really are
It can be nice
To know that you are appreciated
To know that someone cares about you
To know that you are special
To know that someone
Really truly understands
Who you are
Where you are
And understand what you need
More importantly
It's good to give those positive affirmations
Sometimes it can really make someone's day
Spreading waves of positivity
That will propagate throughout the world

Farewell fear
Farewell pain
Hello peace
Hello calm
Goodbye past
Hello tomorrow
Hello hope
Say farewell
To sadness
Say hello to grace
Farewell my old friend
I used to know you
But I have changed
I have moved on
To someone new
A new me
Farewell

Sometimes its easy to lose control
Sometimes its easy to lose ourselves
Get lost in the mix.
Get lost in the shuffle
We can lose control of ourselves
We can become so hurt
That we can't see the path in front of us
We can lose that light
That shows us the direction
And shows us the way in the dark
Its easy to lose control of ourselves
But sometimes in order to gain control
We must be willing to give up control
And to accept that we can't always have control
In every single situation
We have to be willing to give up the illusion
That we can control everything

Starlight falls on me
Filling me with hope
Burning ever bright
Eternally burning
Guiding our way through the night
They shine like embers
To light the way
Through the darkest night
They guide us
Until day comes
To brighten our hearts
Ushering a new dawn
A new day
A new chance for us to start again

I feel God in my heart
I know that God is real
I know that God is the
Creator of all things
I know that we are
All the children of
God and I know
That his love and
Grace and mercy
Lies in everything
We tend to have
This view of God
As being this angry
Patriarch spitting out
Commandments and
Rules that nobody can
Possibly live by and
If we do even one
Thing wrong he
Will smite us in
His anger and
In his fury but
God is a God of
Love and peace
He wants to offer
That peace to our
Hearts when life
Gets rough or
Help us to grow
And learn in his
Ways so that we
May see better
And know better
And understand
Just how beautiful
His children really
Are and just how
Beautiful our mother
Truly is as well
He wants us to
Call him Father
Because he really
Does see us as his
Children and even
When we might
Stray away from
His light and his
Love he is always
There to catch us
With his loving
Arms ready to
Return us back
To the everlasting
Flock that we all
Belong to from
The beginning
To the end of time

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
We must all grow
We all change as life moves on
The world changes
Moment from moment
As we float along the winds of time
As the sands blow
And as the river flows
Everything moves and flows
It its own inexplicable way
There is nothing in life
That is ever concrete
Everything is always moving
Always changing
What we thought we knew
Becomes distant fantasies
As new realities come into view
Even our minds
Our hearts
And our bodies change
All flowing and converging together
As we start to change
And move toward each other
Life is steadily moving and changing
As we continue to flow along the wind
Flow through time and space
Where we all converge into one

Even as separate and alone
As we can feel sometimes
We are all connected to
Each other in some way

This society tells us that
We are separate and we
Have to fend for ourselves
Our else someone else

Might take what I have
Or somehow take what
I own or what I have
Spent my hard earned

Money to buy and to
Obtain without thinking
About the other people
Around them who are

Needing some love and
Comfort and healing and
All they need is a kind
Word or a person to let

Them know that things
Will be ok and that
Everything will be alright
And that they can make

It one more day and
Helping each other
Where we can simply
Because we can rather

Than trying to figure
Out what we can get
From that person in
Return or trying to

Manipulate them into
Getting what we want
For our own gain and
Profit when if we just

Asked and shared with
Each other there would
Be no need for stealing
Or for wars or the need

To feel separate or alone
Because we would live
As a community of people
Actively working together

To help each other where
We needed and helping
To heal people from
The heart as well

We tend to separate and
Segregate people instead
Of acknowledging the
Beautiful diversity of

Life and of people as
Well when we should
Be celebrating our
Uniqueness while at

The same time
Understand that
We are all one
And we come

From the same
Source and that
Even though we
Might have different

Ways of feeling
Or seeing or
Interpreting things
Doesn't mean that

Someone else's view
Is wrong is just another
Way to look at something
From a different angle

Than you might have
Originally been able to
See on your own and
Being able to learn from

Each other instead of
Trying to force our
Ideas our thoughts
On another and if

We get to the point
Where we understand
We are one we could
Never hurt or harm

Or steal or even have
Wars because we would
Understand that we are
All the same and if I harm

You I am harming a piece
Of me and when you can
Get to that understanding
Of life and nature and of

People as well you will
Start to see things in a
Different way than you
Have ever seen before

Spirit horse
Horse of spirit
You are very
Beautiful to
Everyone you
See as your
Spirit shows
It glows bright
Shining through
Everything like
An ethereal glows
That surrounds
You in its warm
Embrace as you
Move in spirit
And move in
From your true
Beauty begins
To expand ever
Greater ever
Brighter for
All eternity

Dance for your Mother
Dance for your Father
Dance for the universe
Dance for the son
The universe is singing as we dance along
Our Mother is dancing, she dances in the sun
So dance when you wanna, dance when you feel
Cause the love in your heart is the only thing thats real
Everything in the universe has its own song
If we learn to listen we can sing along
The forest, the ocean, the moon, the stars,
Everything sings for the glory of god
God is the bass, God is the beat
So when you hear God's rythm tap your feet
Whirl around and tap your feet
Listen to that crazy god beat
God breathed the song into our hearts
And breathed the universe into existence
His words are in every atom, every particle that ever existed
And written in his song is his great love for all of his creation
Its written in the Mother, Its written in the Son, Its written in the Father inside everyone
The three major notes and we are the drums
We are the crazy chaos that pulls it all together
We are the x factor that ties it in place
Even as mad as things might seem
We have to keep dancing to the beat of the drum
We have to keep dancing until we are one
Our feet feel the rythm
Our souls feel the beat
Lets dance tonight, lets dance in the street
The universe is calling, it calls to everyone
It sings to our Mother who dances in the sun
If you want to dance let God show you how
Its not so hard once you get the beat
Let God take the lead
He'll take you by the hand and he will lead you to the promised land
He will take you home in his loving arms
He'll take you away where there is no harm
Dance away your tears
Dance away your sorrows
Dance away for a better tomorrow
We need the dancers to bring in the light
We need the dancers in the final night
So embrace your inner dancer and let it all out
Embrace that inner spirit let it out like a spout
Now that you've got it that is the end
Remember to always keep dancing till the end
No matter what people might say
Dance until the very last day
Ahmad ***

At all times
We are loved
At all times
We are looking
Inside trying to
find the truth
At all times
We doubt
We wonder
Why we are here
At all times
We question
Ourselves
We wonder
Why things
Are the way
They are
At all times
We must
Remember
We are whole
We are loved
To make it
Through the day
You must
Remember
At all times
My friend so
You can make
It through the day
Never forget the
Lessons from your past
At all times
Never let go
Of who you are inside.

Sometimes we could all use an escape
An escape from our lives
An escape from the mundane
An escape from the world
And all of the troubles and trials
That come along with it

Sometimes
God can
Demonstrate
Redemption
We walk
Through this life
With our hearts
Hidden
Turning away
From the light
But through everything
God demonstrates his redemption everyday
He wants us
To return to him
Being redeemed
Living our lives
Becoming white
Washing away
Everything that was *****
Being redeemed
By God's glow
By God's love
By God's truth
We can demonstrate
Redemption
In our own lives
If we are willing
To accept it

By God

This is an adopted metaphor

Its easy to be strict on ourselves
Sometimes we are our own worst judge
Catching ourselves doubting
Wondering if what we did was the right decision
Constantly questioning ourselves and our actions

Some people parade around
Like they are preening themselves
Flossing their jewelry
And pruning their feathers
Parading around
Like they are better
Then other people
Closing themselves off
From people they feel
Are somehow beneath them

There are a lot misconceptions
When it comes to ***
And connecting ourselves in intimate
And healing ways
Enjoying and reveling in the pleasure
Being able to be in the moment
Truly awake and feeling ourselves
Feeling our bodies
And connecting with each other
*** has the ability to be a very powerful thing
It can transform two hearts
It can be a very powerful and uplifting thing
But unfortunately we have repressed ourselves
Even though we have a hyper sexualized society
We still repress ourselves in a lot of ways
We have commodified ourselves
And our bodies
And commodified *** as well
We need to be able to open ourselves up
To the possibility that there might be better
More whole ways to connect
Connecting with ourselves fully
Connecting with others fully
In healing and intimate ways
Because the way things are
It's Only propagate loathing of yourself
Loathing of your body
Even loathing of the feminine
And anything sensual
We need to break free of this
Because if we don't
We will continue to have people
That are lost and disconnected
From themselves
You will continue to have ****
And you will continue to propagate
The separation between the masculine and feminine
Not allowing ourselves to connect
In healing and sensual ways

I love seeing
People happy
People laughing
People singing
People dancing
Full of life
Full of light
Expressing themselves with love
Sharing their gifts and themselves
With every one around them
There are a lot of people
Who have forgotten their voices
Who have forgotten how to truly sing
Who have forgotten how to dance
Who have forgotten how to be joyful
To share themselves with love
So it does my heart good
To see people who have that light inside
And don't mind sharing it
With everyone else around them

Fairies are real
They live wild
In the glens
And in our
Hearts as well
Teaching us
What it means
To revel in joy
If a fairy appears
Don't be alarmed
Fairies can often
Be very good charms
Spreading love
And joy and happiness
To anyone who can see
All you have to do
Is look inside
Find that inner joy
That inner sense
Of play and fun
Finding that
Inner child inside
If you look in
Your heart
And you look
Earnestly
You might be
Lucky to see
A fairy for
Yourself
A fairy is
A wonderful
Friend to be had
Cherish the fairies
In your life
If you do
You will find
An inner well
Of fun and joy
And happy
Energy
Overflowing
And you will
Have enough
Love and Joy
To go around

Adding and subtracting
Can seem easy sometimes
Adding a little bit of ourselves
And subtracting a little bit there
Until we no longer recognize ourselves

Let me love you
Let me love you stronger
Let me love you
Let me hold you in my arms

When you smile
The world opens up for me
When you laugh
The whole world takes notice
I just want you to know
That you have my heart
And I love you for always
As long you

Let me love you
Let me love you stronger
Let me love you
Let me hold you in my arms

When you love me
You love me completely
Your love is absolute
So strong is our love
I want you here always
Always to stand by me
I know our love is complete
As long as you

Let me love you
Let me love you stronger
Let me love you
Let me hold me in your arms

When life seems out of place
And I am lost in the storm
You always find me
And I am forever grateful
For the love you give me
Everyday when I need
It the most you are always
Right there waiting
With love so as long as you

Let me love you
Let me love you stronger
Let me love you
Let me hold you in my arms

When you love me
You love me completely
Your love is absolute
So strong is our love
I want you here always
Always to stand by me
I know our love is complete
As long as you

Let me love you
Let me love you stronger
Let me love
Let me hold you in my arms

A new day
A new beginning
A new life
A new love
A new way to live
A new way to hope
Right before your eyes
Taking each day
One at a time
As you move along
Floating through time
Floating together
Floating as one
Throughout all the bad weather
For sickness and health
To death do we part
Our love everlasting
Built from the heart

Unveiled riches await
They await in our hearts
We just have to know
How to access them
We tend to focus
So much on the physical
On the material
Focusing on money
And material wealth
That we tend to neglect
Our spiritual gifts
And our spiritual treasures
Sharing our riches with others
Who might not have
As many riches as we do
Sharing ourselves with others
Until our hearts are bursting
And overflowing
With kindness
With mercy
With love
Its when
We have
Found
These gifts
And when
We are willing
To share them with
Openly and honestly
That we will have truly
Unveiled the greatest riches of all

Another adopted metaphor

Sudden embrace
Surrounding you
Sudden embrace
Feeling yourself
Feeling your space
Embracing yourself
Embracing who you are
Embracing the simple fact
That you are alive
Embracing the present
Embracing the now
Embracing your past
Embracing your path
Embracing each new moment
With each new day
Knowing
You are embraced

Sometimes all it takes
Is a simple act of kindness
To really make someone's day
Extending yourself to someone
To someone in need
Being that person
Who steps up for those
Who no one else will step up for
Being that person
Who wants to help because they see
That there are people who need help
And they know in their hearts
That they have the ability to help
Or a burning desire to make change
Where change doesn't seem to come very easily
Being that special someone
In someone's life
Extending yourself to others
In loving and kind ways
Opening up your heart
For the people
Who everyone else has shut out
Putting yourself in the crossfire
So that others can live a better life
Even if it means you have to give
Everything and all of yourself
In the process
Being willing to be there for others
To cry for them
To fight for them
To live in someone else's shoes
Sometimes all it takes
Is that first act of kindness
To really change people's hearts
To let them see the possibilities
When we all act a little kinder to each other
And protect the people in this world
Who need protecting the most

Sometimes
Its easy
To feel disjointed
Separated from reality
Looking around
And feeling alone
Feeling like life
Is one big joke
Feeling like you are somehow different
Like you don't belong
We can all feel disjointed
Separated from each other
Even separated from ourselves
Walking along
And feeling alone
We have to start becoming
more connected
Moving away from feeling disjointed
If we are to find any type of happiness
Healing
Moving toward
feeling more whole

Very pretty
Kitty Eskimo
She is my new
Friend and
Favorite cat
She is always
Fun to be
Around and
Always speaks
Her mind but
I have much
Love for the
Very pretty
Eskimo cat
That has stolen
My heart and mind

It can be easy
We have a tendency
Of making things hard
Life can be just as simple
As stepping out of yourself
Stepping out into the life
Living each moment
Excepting your life
And excepting your end
Living each moment
And spreading love
Kindness
Compassion
And empathy
To every one else around you
If every one could just live
A little more simply
And stop making things
So complicated
This world would be
A lot less complicated
And start becoming
A lot more simple

In life
We can
Hesitate
Not knowing
Which way
We are going
Feeling lost
Not knowing
If we should go
Right or left
Making decisions
In general
Having a hard
Time even
Moving
Forward
Not knowing
Being stuck in
Fear of knowing
That they might
Not know
What is going on
Sometimes
You have to learn
To trust in the moment
Trust that things
Will turn out ok
Trust in the chaos
Taking time
To learn from
Every experience
Even if life might
Seem uncertain
Even though fear
Can grip our hearts
In hesitation and
Indecision
We have to be
Willing to step
Forward
As long
As you
Are moving
Moving
Forward
Taking
That extra
Step
Allowing
Yourself
To soar
To fly
Above
Everything
Living life
In the moment
Instead of
Living in fear
And hesitation

Everlasting peace
Everlasting joy
Everlasting solace
Everlasting calm
Everlasting bliss
Everlasting connection
Everlasting love
Everlasting light
Is all within us

I remember when I was a little kid
Easter used to be a big thing
We used to eat our cadbury eggs
Paint our boiled eggs the day before
And we would go out and hunt
Once they had set the day before
We used to go to the sunday masses
That would teach about Easter
And of course Peter Cottontail
Would be once again hopping down that bunny trial
But somehow it always seemed funny to me
Even as a child
That somehow a bunny was supposed to lay eggs
And somehow little chickens were involved
Somehow it had something to do with jesus
And that we were supposed to be honoring him
By painting easter eggs
And opening up our easter egg baskets
Now that I am older
I don't really celebrate it as much
I am caught between the crossroads
Of childhood the fun and glee it used to hold
And the part of me that thinks about these things way too much

Flowers grow in all shapes and sizes
They are all very beautiful to behold
There are different animals on this Earth
That serve their purpose
Whether it be from the spider to the great white shark
Everything on this Earth has it's place
There are many different people on this Earth
We all have our purpose
Our place in this world
We have many different cultures
Many different religions
Many different ways to express music
Many ways to express our ideas about God
Different ways to love
Different gifts that we were all given
We all have our place
We are all beautiful in our own ways
Just like there are many different varieties of beautiful flowers
That all serve their purpose
We are like flowers
We  are all different
We are all beautiful in our own ways
And we all serve different purposes
Just as there is no one flower that is better than another
There is no human or no being that is better than another
We are all just different expressions of the same thing
We are all humans
We all have our purpose
We all have our place
We shouldn't think of one person being better than another
Or one idea
Or one way to express love
Or even one way to express God
Is somehow better than the other
They are all just different yet equally beautiful expressions
We are all flowers in our own ways
We are all trying to grow the best we can
In the soil we were given
We just have to choose to accept the other people
And the plants
And the animals
And live in harmony with each other
Instead of fighting with each other

No matter what we may think
No matter what the world might tell us
No matter what we might have convinced ourselves
We are all worthy of love
We are all worthy of peace
We all have our chances to grow
To love
To dance
To rejoice
To live out God's will with love
And to hope for our fellow human beings
To imbue our gifts
And be willing to share them with others openly
And understanding the healing that can bring

Center of
Everything
Center of
The universe
Center of
Life and earth
Center of
Heaven and mind
Center of
All knowing
Center of
Power and
Light in the
Vast and
Wonderful
World that
Lives in our
Minds eye
We see so
Much in
Our own
Center and
Thoughts
Knowing
The truth
As we go
Along as
We get
More
Centered
In life as
We move
Along in life
As our souls
Get closer to
That inner
Oneness
The inner
Knowing
Of all that
Comes from
Centering
Our minds
Thoughts
Intentions
Into one
Single
Point
Purpose
Goal
Heal
Grow
Learn
As you
Go along
Becoming
Closer to
Finding
The divine
Oneness
That comes
From love

It seems as if most people these days
Talk about the sign of the times.
It seems as if every generation
Has their own idea of what
The sign of the times really is.
For every person it is different
But we still manage to have
Some things in common that get
Passed down too.
It is up to us to define what
Our own idea of what
The sign of the times are so
That when the majority
Changes with time you
Can still define your
Own idea of what the sign of the times is with confidence.
If you don't you will end up changing with the
Whimsy of every one else instead of being strong inside.

I wonder sometimes
What it is the that people see
When they look at me
What it is that people notice first
It never ceases to amaze
Just how many seem to have
A hard time really classifying me
I think that we tend to classify people in general
Its often very easy to just
To automatically make assessment off of what we see
We almost have a harder time
Dealing with the people that are ambiguous
That we can't classify right away
Than the people that seem to fit
The stereotypes
Or are preconceived ideas
About how we think
People should behave
Or even look
And if people don't
Automatically fit
Into our neat little boxes
And into a neat little
Classification
Its almost like we repel those people
Somehow it scares us to see people
That don't fit into our ideas
Our ideals of normalcy that is based
On social constructs that we have
Built ourselves
I think we need to step
Away from putting people
In small boxes
We need to start really
Looking at people
Getting past the stigmas
And the social constructs
That we put on certain people
And seeing the person for who they are
Everyone is lost in their own ways
We all could use a little help here and there
But when you automatically
Shun someone
Or push someone aside
Based on superficial constructs
You ultimately end up alienating them
But you are ultimately alienating yourself
Living in lies and false fears
That are based on false precepts in the first place
We all want to be seen as people
We all want to have our own voices
To have our own views
Without worrying about being judged
Or classified by anyone
We are all human
We all deserve to be treated as such

It can feel
Like life
Can be on
Mute
It can feel
Like everything
And everyone
Is passing you by
Living on mute
Not moving
Not being aware
Not listening
Ignoring
Everything
Around you
Being closed off
You have to
Be willing
To turn on
The volume
Every once
In a while
To truly hear
And comprehend
Everything
That is going
On around you

We come in our joy
We come in our peace
We come in the middle
Of our darkest night
And our deepest turmoil
We magnify you lord
Through our spirit and
Love as we brothers
And sisters join hands
And allow your grace
And love and truth
To be magnified and
Reign upon this world
Let your holy reign take
Over and let your holy
Truth become our own
As we begin to become
More like you day by day
As we join in praise of your
Mighty glory and wonderful
Healing that you give to all
Of your children that seek
Your truth and your name
Give us strength to endure
So that we may magnify
You that much more fully
And allow our light and
Love to show to all of
The brothers and sisters
That are still stuck in the
Dark might know they
Are loved and magnified
By the same lord and spirit
That flows and magnifies
Us all if we can see it and
Feel it and truly know it
In our spirits and souls
We can begin to magnify
And strengthen everyone
Around us we become
Whole together in God

The world is evolving
It is evolving ever quicker
Rotating wildly
As it spins through space
We are moving ever quicker
Toward a destination
That becomes more uncertain
With each passing moment
But there is power in change
And power in the mysterious
The anticipation of things to come
We continue to move down
Into a more slippery *****
We are getting to the breaking point
We are almost to the point
Where we can't bear any longer
We listen to the news
And we hear how many people
Are lost
How many people are walking
How many people are out there
Walking on their own
How many people are suffering
How the world seems to be getting
More out of control by the minute
It seems like the world is sinking
Into ever greater chaos
And we are just along for the ride
We are moving along
With this wonderful blue planet we call home
Moving along as we move through space
As we move through time
Evolving and changing
With each new second
That we swirl around
In this great big mess
But we are moving towards something
What the future holds is uncertain
But we are definitely moving toward something
I think we can all feel it
The Earth can feel it too
The birth pangs of a new beginning
A new way of thinking
A new way of interacting with ourselves
A new way of interacting with God
And even with the universe
And this wonderful blue planet that we call home
We will reach a new place of understanding
And truly find our place in the sun
Moving forward
Evolving and revolving
More in harmony with ourselves
And with everything else around us

What happens when the light goes out
When the world goes dark
What happens when you feel the cold
Settling in your heart
When the sun goes down
When the door slams shut
When that darkness
Begins to creep in
What do you say
When you have given
All you have
When you feel like
Enough
Is never enough
How do you recoup
When your world falls apart
When your skies turn grey
Faith
Hope
Love
Burns through
The darkest nights
And the greyest storms
Have faith things will get better
Hope for a better tomorrow
Let the love
Start to pour through you
Igniting that inner spark
That was inside of you all along

We shed our skins as we go along
As we get older
We shed older parts of ourselves
So that we can bring forth
Newer
Fresher parts of ourselves
Shedding old habits
Shedding old ways
Replacing them with more beautiful
Shining version
Killing our old selves
So that we can be reborn again

You can be kind
And triumphant
At the same time
Sometime its the
People that speak
The most have the
Least to say and
Sometimes its the
People that don't
Speak at all that
Might have hidden
Truth and wisdom
In their eyes as they
Peer out and see
The world for what
It truly is and there
Are sometimes in
Life when we have
To understand that
Kindness and love
Is never a weakness
It is true strength
To truly feel and go
Out of your way to
Save or to help
Someone or to show
The love in your heart
To the people that need
It the most and being
Able to have that joy
That comes from
Knowing you can
Have a positive and
Healing influence on
Others and having
That empathy for
Others and truly
Feeling their pain
And wanting to
Give all you have
Too many times
We tend to see
These people as
Being weak and
A lot of times it
Is these people
That are abused
Or their help and
Kindness taken
For granted or
Taken advantage
Of but we need to
Begin to understand
That we need to start
Thinking more with
That inner kindness
And love and giving
If we are truly to
Find that inner joy
There are so many
People in this world
Who are in pain or
Who are sad or who
Need that extra hope
And faith in their
Hearts but they
Don't know where
To begin in their
Search so they find
Everything else to
Heal the pain other
Than looking at the
Heart of the issue
We all need to have
That kindness in our
Lives and feeling like
We are truly loved
And cared for and
Accepting ourselves
And others as well
As learning to give
Freely of what we
Have with each
Other so we can
Feel and receive
The healing hope
Inside of us as we
Reach out of kind
And giving ways
To the people around
Us and learn how to
Truly live in kindness
With others and truly
Living happily and
Triumphantly
