Marian is the
Princess of the fairies
Spreading her love
On gossamer wings

Helping those
With broken wings
Teaching them
To fly once again

She is the healer
Of hearts
Helping those
Who have lost
Their way

Carefully gliding
Them back again
As she extends
Her heart to others

Showing what
It is to truly love
With each new heart
She touches with

Her unbridled joy
And grace
And wisdom
Helping all Fairies

Big or small
Find their way
Teaching them
How to soar and fly

Don't let the sun go down
Don't let it go down in your heart
Don't wait for the light to go out
Keep the light shining
Keep it shining in your soul
So that when night comes
The light in your heart
Will shine the way

Its ok
To love
yourself
You don't
Have to
Hide that
Inner love
And light
We struggle
Against the love
We often feel
Like we don't
Deserve to be loved
Every body wants it
Every body deserves it
We all are loved in our own ways
When the love expands in your heart
You can truly begin to love yourself
Accepting yourself completely and wholly
Seeing the beauty for yourself and accepting
The ever growing love, beauty, light,  and peace
Love yourself
Don't ever forget
We all are free in
Our own way

We take our daily bread
To commemorate the body
And we consume the wine
To commemorate the blood
But we the same blood and spirit flows through all of us
Even as we are separate vessels
We all share the the same mind
And the same soul
We are all just different expressions of each other
Many shining lights in a glorious design
Mixing and flowing as we interact with each other
Even though we might not see
And though we tend to focus on the difference
We try and repel each other
And keep each other at a distance
We even hurt other people
Or knowingly allow others to get hurt because of our actions
And yet we are all the same spirit
We are just different expressions of the inner flame
That flows through the universe
And flows through all of us
We just need a chance
To see that inner flame within everyone
Shining bright below all of the blocks and barriers that we put up
We come from the same body
We come from the same spirit
We all share the same blood
We are all vessels
Just struggling to find the light
And return back to the source

Alone with myself
In the silence there
Is a calm and
Peace and love
Everlasting love
Flowing from
Every part of
Me as I feel
Your wonderful
And beautiful
Heartbeat inside
Of mine and I
Know you will
Always be there
Shining your
Love and grace
And peace and
Mercy and
Everlasting
Grace and
Mercy to
The heart of
The ones that
Need it the most
Shining your
Miraculous
Healing on
Everything
And everyone
As you pour
Our yourself
To me when I
Am alone in
My prayers
I know you
Are there God
I know you
Are there mother
I know you
Are there spirit
I know you
It is your
Everlasting
Love and grace
Peace and strength
That helps me make
It through another
Day as I feel myself
Become one in your
Spirit and one with
Your healing spirit
And love as I feel
Your spirit join
Into me as I sit
Alone with myself
In prayer and in spirit

These thoughts
Keep drumming
Through my head

There are truths
You learn that
Stick with you

And these are the
Truths that keep
Running through

My head that keeps
Me grounded to me
And keeps me sane

There are so many
People who are
Lost and who

Can't see the
Beauty and the
Simplicity of the

Life that is all
Around them
Life is never

Meant to be
Forfeited for
The likes of

Gain or profit
And all life
Means something

We can no more
Disregard our
Mother Earth

As we can
Disregard and
And toss aside

The animals and
Our brothers and
'Sisters that live

On this Earth with
Us and we must be
Willing to see and to

Understand that we
Are all part of the
Whole and we can't

See ourselves as
Somehow separate
Or different than

Anything else on
This planet and
Definitely not

Better or set
Aside from the
Plants and the

Animals or the
Earth and we
Need to realize

That we are all
Parts of the whole
Living breathing

System that brings
Life to everything
On this planet

And when we try
To disrupt the
Natural order and

Put ourselves above
The natural system
And try to control

Or to change it is
When we can find
Ourselves hurting

Ourselves and our
Planet and all of
Our brothers and

Sisters that are
Living on this
Earth with us

We must be able
To understand this
If we are to truly

Survive as a race
Because if we do
Not change the

Way we are doing
Things we will end
Up not only hurting

Our planet but our
Lives in the process
We need to be able

To see the bigger
Picture and see
That we all

Have a stake
And a right to
Live on this

Planet that we
All call home

Life just keeps getting louder
The ever present noise and
Scream of the people on
The street like a never ending

Wave of sound that consumes
Us with its ear quacking roar
Making it harder to hear
Ourselves and making it

That much harder to hear
And understand others as
Well because we live in a
Cacophony of people

So loud in their own
Thoughts and so lost
In their own heads that
They can't see our hear

Anyone else in front
Of themselves anymore
Its very easy to get caught
In the loudness and the

Chaotic roar of the world
What we need to do is to
Slow down and listen to
Each other and actually

Be quiet for a change and
Actually listen to ourselves
And listen to the Earth
And listen to each other

Take the time to be still
Take the time to know
Your fellow neighbor
Take the time to find

That inner calm that
Comes from sitting
Inside yourself and
Taking the time to

Truly find out what's
Inside and once you
Do you will find a
Whole new way of

Thinking and a whole
New brighter and better
World than what we have
You just have to be quiet

If you be still and calm
And let the noise of the
Day wash over you like
Water flowing in a river

You will find an inner
Happiness and peace
That you have never
Found before and as

You begin to find that
Peace in yourself you
Can begin to share
That peace with others

Until the peace and love
In your heart continues
To grow as you begin
To let love and peace rule

I speak life
To the people
On the earth.
I speak life
To the people
Through their trials
I speak life
To the people
In the dark
The people
On the brink
Who are hurting
Everyone
Who is hurting
Who is lost
Lost in their souls
Captive to their minds
I speak life
And healing
Light and strength
To all who need it
You can make it
We need each other
I speak life into
Your soul
You are too
Important
Too lovely
Too beautiful
Too bright
To let your spirit die

Walking is about
Putting one foot
In front of the other
And trusting yourself
To keep going

The good life
Can be had by all
We live each day
And continue to breathe
When we continue to hope
And continue to laugh
And we share that laughter with others
Share a smile or a moment
With someone who is sad
And try and brighten up their day
With a laugh
With a smile
With a kind gesture
Extending yourself in kindness
And allowing good nature
To flow from your soul
Be jolly and content
At the simple fact
That we live in such a wonderful world
Even though things might seem topsy turvy
How much a smile
Or a hug
Or even a good handshake
Can really make the difference
Or just listening sometimes
When people might need an ear
But even more importantly
Be willing to share that good life with others
So that the goodness around you can grow

The surface is calm
The calm is interrupted
By a torrent underneath
A hidden current just below the surface
That you can't see
Or can't really feel until you have dived in
Its only once you have gotten in
That you start to realize
Just how deep and just how strong the undercurrent is
It threatens to take you under
You can feel yourself being dragged farther and farther
Panic starts to set in
You become disoriented
You begin to forget which way is up or down
Water begins to get in your lungs
You begin to choke as you try and force the water out of your lungs
The cold water is like a grave
******* the life out of you as you continue to struggle
You know that if you can't get out
You just might drown
There is no one around
No one to save you if you go under
Then
Almost like  a flash
You remember that all you have to do is relax
Stop fighting the flow
Just spread your arms out
And just calmly float to the surface
As you begin to float toward the surface
Its almost like you are lighter
You can feel yourself ascending
Breaking the waters surface as you breathe in that life giving breath
You sit on the surface
Shivering and exhausted
But alive
And all you can do is just thank that inner voice
That told you to be calm
And just let yourself rise
And you feel that much more happy to be alive
And that much more whole and appreciative
Then you have at any point in your life

We live in a world
Full of diseases
Full of pain
We live in a world
Where it seems
Like hate rules
Where antipathy
Rage
Violence
Wins the day
It seems like
The cure
Is hard to find
It can feel like
The world is doomed
But the cure
The antidote
Is a lot easier found
Its right in front of our eyes
We just have to be willing to see it
The antidote is love
Once you understand that
Everything else
Starts to fall into place

I pray for peace
Please allow your love
To rain down on this earth
We live in a time
When people are becoming
More separated
Where people are hurting each other
While people are hurting this planet
People are lost and disjointed
Without any type of connection
To what reality truly means
Living in an illusion
Not understanding
Their real worth
And the ultimate reality
We are all connected
I pray that people
Will begin to see
And stop the wars
And the judgment
And the crimes
And the pain
And start understanding
No life is ever forfeit
For greed or gain
And no life
Is any less sacred
Or has any less purpose
Than any other life
We must come to accept this
Please I am asking you
Wake up
Whoever is out there
Its not too late
Even as crazy
As the world is
Its never too late to wake up
Waking up to yourself
Waking up and sensing
The spirit that is inside
But more importantly
Being able to feel and to see
The spirit inside of everything else
Responding out of love and kindness
Instead of hate and anger
Learning to love in whole
And complete ways
And learning to show mercy
And kindness to the people
That need it the most
I pray and plead
Please wake up
Its not too late
We can still turn
Things around
There is still hope
The choice
Is with all of us

The whole universe
And everything in between
Is inside us all

Sometimes it can be hard to be alive
We go through so much
We have to go through so many trials
We all doubt
We all have to deal with pain
Sickness
Doubt
Depressions
And just feeling lost in general
We **** ourselves over petty things
We allow ourselves to go through so much pain
We all wonder sometimes why we are even here
Why were we born
Only to have to deal with so much confusion
So much pain
Having to deal with so much
That it seems like we can hardly bear
But being alive is also a wonderful and beautiful thing
We all have that living spark inside of us
That part of us that wants to survive
That wants to persist
That wants to get stronger
We all have this living spark inside of us
With every breath we take
We take in life
With every moment
We live
We grow
We change
It might seem hard sometimes
But there is also happiness
Joy
The simple beauty of nice warm day
A hug
The beauty of our mother that is all around us
Being able to learn and to live each new day
Connecting with that inner spirit
Feeling that joy
Being able to share that joy with others
Feeling love
Being able to share that love
Coming together with others
Being able to laugh
Dance
Even cry when the time calls for it
But just being alive
Whatever the emotions
Whatever we are going through
Is still beautiful
Even with all of the pain and trials
We are all alive
Taking in breath
Carrying that living flame
That lives inside of us

Altogether beautiful
Altogether wonderful
Altogether lovely
Is your soul
I feel the beauty
Inside of you
I feel the love
The kindness
The light
Flowing through you
I feel you inside of me
I know you are there
Living inside of me
Your heart is in my hands
I know our hearts are one
They are intertwined
Regardless
Of how far it is
Regardless
Of how long it is
I can feel your heart
Beating next to mine
Slowly deepening
As we take in each other
Consuming each other
With our love

The brain is an interesting thing
It seems like it carries all of our thoughts
And yet scientists know so little about it
We tend to think of our brains
And our minds
As somehow being
These separate entities
Somehow connected
Yet disconnected
From our bodies
And from each other
But I believe that our minds
Are more interconnected
Then we might think

I believe that people
Aren't as bad as we
Make them to be
I believe that the world
Is more beautiful than
We give it credit for
Our planet is a wonder
To behold full of grace
And power if you know
Where to look
I believe that no one
Should ever have to
Go hungry or have to
Fend for themselves in
The cold while others
Continue to allow
These people to sit
In the cold without
A name or existence
While they continue
To take from them
And keep them down
I believe that we should
Be protecting our children
Instead of abusing them
Children should be protected
They are our precious future
And we should be protecting
Them from the evils of the world
Children are born pure
And innocent and unaware
Of the world and what is in it
We need to be more careful
Of the world we are creating
For the children of today or
Else we will reap the
Consequences of our actions
We are already starting to see
This very thing unfold
In front of our eyes
We need to be more
Aware of the messages
We are sending our children
And be more active in
Protecting them
Instead of allowing
Them to fall
By the wayside
I believe that
We need to come
Together we can't
Do with all of these
Divisions that are
Among us that
Are ultimately
Tearing us apart
Day by Day people
Are being killed
And destroyed
For their differences
And for their
Beliefs and people
Are ostracizing each
Other and leaving
People out in the rain
We have to be willing
To look past our superficial
Differences and understand
The great beauty and
Diversity that is on this
Planet and understanding
That even with all of our
Differences we all have
Our place to share on
This crazy blue ball
We call home

I can feel your heart
And I can feel your
Pain and I can feel
Your sorrow that
Is coming through

But I can also feel
Your joy and your
Light and your
Strength bubbling
Underneath the
Surface of your
Heart and soul

I can feel your
Inner heart and
I know there is
A light you don't
Quite see yet but
Is waiting to unleash
Its beauty and light
All the same inside

All you have to
Do is unlock the
Key inside of yourself
And you will begin to
See slowly but surely
You are much stronger
And much more
Beautiful and whole
Than you could ever
Imagine possible

This is for all of the
People of the world
That are trying to
Find their light and
Their heart at the end
Of the day when it
Seems like your world
Has fallen apart and

When it seems like
The darkness just
Keeps creeping in
And when it feels
Like things just
Keep getting more
Out of hand know

There is that inner
Light and strength
And peace that can
Come from looking
In your inner heart
And seeing the beauty
That lies inside of you

Nature is beautiful
There is a hidden order
A hidden purpose
Of everything that we see
We need to get back to
And understand the beauty
And the majesty that nature
Has to offer every one of us
Our mother loves all of her children
She bathes us in her love
We are all children of the earth
You just have to look in your heart
You will find all the truth you are
Looking for inside of her smile
Everything we need to learn
Everything we could possibly learn
We can learn from our mother
Studying the beauty and the strength
She puts on display ever day
From the most majestic of trees
To the most humblest of ants
Everything can teach a lesson
A hidden fountain of knowledge
If you know where to look
We need to get back to trusting
In our mother's knowledge
Learning with our mother
Instead of trying to change her
She is perfect as she is
If we learn this we will truly
Be free to live in harmony
In harmony with ourselves
And with our mother as well

Effervescent glow
Surrounds me
Comforts me
I feel at peace
I feel warmth inside of myself
Emanating from myself
But not of myself
I feel this overwhelming feeling
That I am being covered
Healing is in my heart
Pouring through my soul
Pouring through me as I descend deeper into the warmth
And the healing light that is pouring through me.
I am one.

We will sit in love tonight my dear
Reveling in the feeling
Of our bodies intertwining
Combing as one as our souls
Make love tonight
Feeling you intertwined in me
As we writhe in ******* pleasure
Our bodies melting into each other
As we climb newer heights
Creating new ways to love
With each different touch
With each different kiss
With every ******
With every ounce of pleasure
We get a little closer
To the divine

Sometimes we can tear
We can rip off pieces
Of ourselves as we go
Along wounding and
Tearing ourselves as we
Go along the jagged
Twisted roads of life
It can be easy to pick
Up these tears and rips
Leaving scars across
Our bodies and scars
In our minds as we
Move along in life
If they are really deep
They can begin to tear
Over and over again as
We continue to take
Damage and hardships
Never truly healing our
Tears and our wounds
We can just keep
Reopening the same old
Wounds and not knowing
How to get rid of the pain
That keeps building up
Inside that they can't
Control the pain and the
Hurt and the internal scars
That keep breaking and
Bleeding as we try to find
Different ways to bandage
Our own wounds
Unfortunately we often
Choose the wrong things
To try and heal our pain
Or heal our scars and we
Can ultimately end up
Hurting ourselves more
In the process trying to
Stitch ourselves back
Together again from
The mess that our
Lives can easily become
But the only thing that
Can heal any scar is love
Love heals all wounds both
Physical and emotionally
And especially spiritual
It is the only thing in life
That can completely heal
Everything if we allow it
We just have to be willing
To seize and find that inner
Well of love and peace
And healing inside of
Ourselves to truly set
Ourselves free from
The pain and the scars
And all of the restrictions
That come from holding
On to those scars and
Allowing them to build
Over time until the pain
And scars can become
All we will ever know

We all must make a stand
For what we believe
And what we feel is right
We must all be willing to make a stand
And put an end to what we see right before our eyes
We must be willing to fight for this world
And fight for our peace
We must be willing to stand up
For a world filled with hope
With love
With dignity
And with respect
For everyone and everything on this planet
We must be willing to put aside
The things that keep us apart
And that keep us from fighting
Fighting for what we should really be fighting for
Fighting for our planet
Fighting for justice
And mercy
And in an end to all war
An end to poverty
An end to the destruction of our planet
And the destruction of our minds
We must be willing to take a stand
And stand together
If we are to save our world

To occupy is to take by force
To forcibly remove someone
To take up space
Claiming your territory
Or even your space
There have been many occupations in history
Most of them where done through force
Most of the people who were being occupied
Never really had a choice
If they wanted to be occupied or not
We as humans have a tendency
Of wanting to occupy
Of wanting to take over
Wanting to convert and destroy
Instead of trying to learn
Learning from each other
Sharing our resources and our ideas
Instead of trying to live in harmony with the land
With the animals
With the sea
With each other
We would rather subjugate and destroy
Until there is nothing left
We must think a lot less like occupiers
Trying to control our space
Trying to control each other
And trying to live in harmony and peace

Am  I me
Or am I
Someone else
I am constantly changing
Molding into something different
Ever evolving and expanding
Contracting and contradicting
Things about me that used to make sense
That don't have pertinence now
Ever changing
Expanding and knowing
Changing and growing
Shedding off old coats
As new ones are being put back on

When I wake in the morning
I know that through my struggles
God shows me calm
He speaks to me
To calm my spirit
Even everything else
Seems like it is going wrong
In the morning I wake
And though I might worry
God is always there
God wants to be there for you too
He wants to comfort
Allow him

Living Free
Can be as easy
As breathing
Taking in
Each life
Giving
Breathe
Be awake
Experience
Each moment
Breathe
Take the time
To truly
Experience
The joy
Of living
The joy
Of life
Stop
Breathe
Listen
To that
Voice
Inside
Breathe in
Breathe out
Don't forget
To take the
Time to truly
Breathe
Breathing in
Everything good
That is sustaining
That is of life
And letting out
All of the pain
The hurt
Everything
That keeps
You from
Living free

Piecing it together
Can be hard
It can be hard
To pick up the pieces
Once life has shattered
It can be easy
To get overwhelmed
It can be even harder
To pick yourself
Back up again
Sometimes
You have to dust yourself off
Pick up the pieces
And start piecing yourself
Back together again

There is  light
There is darkness
Everything exists as duality
Just as there are those who will stand up to the oppressors
There are those who are oppressors
We all have the choice to accept the darkness and the light inside of us
We can't deny one part of ourselves without denying the other
We all have the ability to do wonderful things
To be that hero for someone in need
To be that person to stand up for those
Who don't have a voice for themselves
We all have the ability to spread peace
And to spread love
And to spread light wherever we go
But we also have this darkness inside of us
These tendencies that make us wonder
If humanity is really humane at all
There are wars
There is genocide
There is hatred
And even people killed in the name of religion
It can become easy to get caught
Stuck between the darkness and the light that is inside of us
It can become like a never ending battle
That rages and wars inside of us
But we must be willing to accept both parts of ourselves
To see the light as well as the dark
To be able to truly move forward
And to truly be whole
Because if we continue to fight ourselves
Not allowing ourselves to reach the light
That tells us which way is right
And which way is wrong
But at the same time being afraid of our own shadow
And fearing any negative thoughts
Or any negative influences that might come our way
We will be trapped in ourselves
Constantly fighting between the light and the dark
And not accepting the duality in us all

I see the Earth before me
I see it in my mind
I can see it in an aerial view
I can see the people
I can see the plants
I can see our mother
She is there
Shining beautiful and bright
Suspended in space
She is our shining glory
Basking us in her motherly glow
We are all floating through space
Connected to the same planet
Connected to the same spirit
We are all here
Trying to figure things out
We are all here
Living our lives
Living each day
Even though we tend to forget
Our mother is always there
Just waiting to remind just how beautiful
Just how magnificent our mother really is
And just how magnificent and wonderful
Every single one of us are
I see our mother
I see the Earth in an aerial view
She is smiling
She is smiling for her children
And hoping
They will slowly
Start to wake
And accept their true place
On this wonderful
Earth that we call home

I wish I could save myself from myself
by Ahmad ***
Sometimes I wish I could help me from myself
There are sometimes when I wish
I could go back and stop myself
From making those mistakes
That seemed so obvious after I have made them
Sometimes I wish
I could erase
All of the hurt I have ever caused others
The people and the friends that have come and gone
I wish that I could keep myself
From feeling hate towards others
I wish sometimes I could keep myself
From giving in to my urges
When I am feeling upset
When I am feeling low
And when I can even hear myself saying no
That I shouldn't
But I keep on anyway
I wish that I could help myself sometimes
To keep me from harming myself sometimes
But it seems like unfortunately
It just doesn't always work out that way
I end up hurting myself
And unfortunately sometimes I hurt others
But sometimes I think I just have to accept
That I am not perfect
And I am going to stray from where I feel I should be
And I am going to feel lost
And I am going to feel loss
And regret
And pain
Whether it be self inflicted or not
And that I just have to try and do my best
To try and become a better person
Than I was the last day

We live
In a give me
Society
Give me this
Give me that
We don't
Stop to think
How our
Give me attitudes
Effect everyone
Else around us
We don't stop
To think
About where
Our things go
We don't stop
To think
About the people
That are being
Affected the most
By our mass
Producing of
Things we don't
Ultimately need
In the first place
We need to step
Away from
Our needless
Waste
We need to
Start to
Understand
We have more
Than we need
If we just use it
Correctly
Its not about
Trying to see
Just how much
You can get
But seeing
How much
You can give
We need to move
From a Give me this
Give me that
Mentality to a
Giving this
Giving that
Mentality
So that we can
Start to live
In peace
And harmony
Openly sharing
With each other
Giving freely
Sharing freely
Everything
We have
Leaving behind
Our Give me this
And Give me that
Mentality behind

We must be willing
To truly forgive ourselves
To set our souls free

We must be willing
To accept our death in life
If we want to live

We must be willing
To honor all life on earth
To truly feel love

The will to survive
Can be a very powerful thing
Sometimes its that unbreakable will
That hope to live
That can help us make it
Even if we are hurting
Even if we are damaged
Whether it be physically
Or otherwise
Its our will to live
The will to survive
That will push us through
Time after time

There is enough hate
And pain in the world
We need to start
Thinking
A little more
About love
Learning
How to spread it
Learning
How to let love
Fill and guide you
Until hate and pain
Become a distant memory

Life is apparent
If you want it to be
Life is simple if you
Make it out to be
Life is easy if you
Allow it to be
You just have to
Live life a little
With a little more
Simplicity
Letting go of
Every thing that
Complicates life
Letting go of
Every thing that
Holds you down
And holds you
In place in the world
Letting go of ever thing
That doesn't make you
Happy or brings you joy
Letting go of every thing
That makes you feel
Like you are stuck in the
World or makes you feel
Like you can't do any better
Or complicates your life
Any more than it has to
Living more simply
Is very apparent
Its very easy once you
Know how to let go
Of every thing
That makes life
Complicated
To begin with.

To see the world in a different way. We have to be willing to open our hearts to the unknown and the unseen. We have to put ourselves past the wisdom and the trials of the world and of men and start to see the bigger picture in front of us. We have to be willing to see with new eyes and a new way. Seeing the unseen that can often change us if we know where to look. There is truth to be found behind the veil when you take away the fog from your eyes and your mind. We live in a cloud of misinformation. It can be hard to truly pick out what is true and what is false. We have to be willing to go beyond what we see and know and learn from the heart. That inner intuition that lets us know we are not alone. That lets us see and know the higher plan. That lets us know we are loved and that there is a plan and a place for us in the universe. That there is light at the end of the tunnel and that love is truly the key that binds the universe. When you can understand and see that we are all loved and beautiful in our own way and that we were all placed on this beautiful Earth with a beautiful purpose you will begin to move past the ways of the world and you will begin to see and understand things in a whole new way and a whole new light and you will never be the same again.

Addicts come in different forms
We are all facing our own demons
We all have those things
That we wish that we could let go of
Those inner demons
Those inner forces
That seem to drag us down
That snag us down
We all have the things
That keep us up at night
Those moments in our lives
When we doubt if we are really here
Really living
Really existing
Or if we are just floating along
Not truly grafting to anything real
Just floating along with the breeze of life
Giving in to our demons
The things that hold us back
Sometimes it can feel
Like it's just easier to give in
Sometimes it can feel like
It is just easier to just
Keep going through the motions
Sometimes it can feel like it's easier
Just to live in the darkness
Giving in to those inner demons
Sometimes they can become so familiar
It can become all you can know

The universe is art
We all create our
Own beautiful
And unique color
Shape and form to
The wonderful mess
We call this universe
The inner creativity
And inner joy and
Child is calling to
You make sure to
Heed the call as
You begin to feel
The unique and
Beautiful parts
That make up
The whole like
A mosaic of
Internal voices
Trying to be
Noticed and
Heard as they
Cling together
Like a symphony
Of consciousness
Pouring its beautiful
Melody through our
Hearts as our hands
And souls play the
Tune as we write
Our destinies in the
Sand and dance with
Abandon as we praise
The universe and the
Beautiful and unique
Gift and creative art
And spark and life
That flows through
Everything you see

Good love
Will last you
All your life
Good love
Will last you
Till the end of time
Love everlasting
Feeling that
Good love
Moving
In your soul
That Good love
That can bring
You to your knees
That Good love
That can break
Your soul
Make you
Want to be better

We tend to close ourselves
We tend to shut ourselves off
We tend to close our hearts
To keep ourselves from hurting
We shield ourselves
We shield our hurt
To hide the pain
We are taught that
We are supposed to keep smiling
Keep pretending everything is o.k.
Afraid to crack and show any weakness
We have to shut off our emotions
To play the game
We learn very early
That if we open our hearts
If we allow ourselves to be vulnerable
We will ultimately get hurt
So we learn to become callous
To become cynical
To protect ourselves
Not allowing ourselves
To be optimistic
Actually hoping
Or wishing for something
We are so afraid of losing something
That we automatically shut off
Whenever we feel like we might
Have the chance to fail
That way when we do
We won't feel so bad
We can just convince ourselves
That we weren't meant to have it
That we shouldn't have tried in the first place
Pushing aside our own feelings
To shield our hearts
But ultimately all this ends up doing
Is bottling the hurt inside
It will manifest in other ways
If you don't let it go sometime
Being able to open up your heart
And being able to open yourself
Allowing yourself to be vulnerable
Putting your heart out
And trusting that it will be o.k.
We all have times in our lives
When we want to hide ourselves
When we are dealing with
Negative things that happen
But its about being able to express yourself
And not bottling it up
Being able to express whatever you feel
Being present in the emotion
No matter what it happens to be
Whether it be anger or joy
Allowing yourself to be present with yourself
Opening yourself up so that you can be present
Being present with the people around you
And sharing your heart openly
I think you will find
That if you share your heart openly with others
They will do the same for you

Scripting Love
Writing broken
Reason
Scripting Love
Creating Love
Thats not really there
Manipulating love
Distorting love
Scripting and changing
Altering and reconfiguring
Until the script
Becomes more true
Than the reality

Amidst the hurt
Amidst the pain
Amidst the lies we tell ourselves
There is the truth
We are loved

Bells are ringing
People are singing
Dancing
Laughing
Happy
Joyful
Ringing the bells
They sound
Reverberate
As they ring into their soul

Life is like dancing
We dance and twirl
From one moment
To the next as we

Spin through space
And time spinning
And colliding into
Each other as our

Hearts and souls
Move to the ever
Present groove of
Life as we dance

Together in the
Cosmic rhythm
Of life and love
Personified through

Our own unique
Dance and voice
As we continue
To sing our own

Melody and we
Sing our own
Beat our song
And our feet

Are moving as
One even as
Crazy as our
Individual

Songs and
Dances might
Be they all
Dance to the

Same hidden
Beat hidden
Through the
Universe and

Calling the
Dancer and
The singers
As we sing

Our praise
Of love and
Light through
Our lives as

We exhibit
Gods wonder
And creativity
Through our

Beautiful dance
And song and
Holy rhythm
That flows

Through the
Entire universe
As God plays
With his children

In new and
Loving and
Creative ways
With each of us

Life runs in periods
Great cycles that run
Through history
Life is cicular
Nothing ends
Just moving along
Never ending
Always expanding
Returning back
To the source

The Night is Calling
The Moon is beckoning
Me under her beautiful
And Ethereal glow calling
All night owls who happen
To stray too far away from
Home on a beautiful night
Like this are ever trapped in
Your light and mesmerized
Like a moth to a flame
Reaching for you and
Feeling your heavenly
Influence and tug on the
Earth like two drunken
Dancers you dance in
Space together circling
Around each other in
A loving embrace that
Will continue to play
Out night after night
Day after day as the
Earth and the Moon
And even the Sun
Begin to play as they
Circle around each other
Day in and day out
Calling to the wayward
Soul who happens upon
Their dance and feels
The ever present tug
And influence of our
Beautiful Moon when
The night is calling and
'The Sun is still deep
Asleep in its bed

The world is a stage
We are all players
We are all puppets
Playing our own strings
When we try and control
And pull our strings
Too tight
We can become rigid
Out of sync
Not moving smoothly
Fighting ourselves
Getting entangled
In our own strings
When we let go
When we give up control
Is when we will find
Our actions
Are more lifelike
More real
We will feel more animated
Lighter
Smoother
Our actions
Gliding
As we glide
Through life
If we learn to give up control
Don't hold so tight
You are only
Holding yourself back
Getting stuck
In your own strings

Connecting
Through spirit
Connecting
In our hearts
Connecting
To everything
