roll aside
the heavy stone
that locks you in
the sepulchre
of your darkened soul

let the light
within you shine
easter morning sun
burn up the mists
of your ignorance

look in the mirror
see yourself
son of man
you are a son
of god almighty

let those around you
feel god's love
an authentic life
will clear the path
of every obstacle

know your truth
live with love
heal your sickness
shake off the death
of living without light

i stand before you
a simple man
hoping your soul will
recognize a friend

i hope you'll know
that at my heart
i have your best
i will never harm

i know you'll know
what you are
when you read
and your heart stirs

it's time to be
your very best
it's time to stand
take off the mask

it's time to free
all you have caged
it's time to pour forth
it's time to create

it's time to be free
and be your best self
it's time to lay down
worry and doubt

it's time to be all
it's time to be whole
it's time to step up
and accept yourself

arise from the ashes
arise from the dust
arise you bright phoenix
i say to myself

I still remember the day
I said it
When I was kneeling
Touching your feet
I love you dear
Being away from you
Makes me fear
You are the first
And the last
You are the world
That's my only word
Tears rolling over my cheeks
Have made of me an artist
An artist who paints with his tears
Your portrait is not for sale
Cz I am your only male.
Without you I am nothing
Your presence is like wings
Making me fly so high.
You made me someone
When all people around
Saw me no one
But something.

immortal wedding band
encircling the globe
dividing evening from twilight
and dark of night
from morning light

the ring remains unbroken
since the first kiss of the sun
tracing our home's rolling pace
in dancing color
light's embrace

and as i watch the light fade
and clouds catch heavenly fire
i know i see just half the halo
with each day's end
glow and shadow

and half a world away
a man looks to the east
and he sees the other half
and he realizes in himself
with a soulful laugh

that half a world away
a man like me looks west
and as I see my half above
he knows it's the same halo
that we both know and love

the halo never rests
it's dance never complete
and until time's timely end
around the world
it will always bend

to remind all god's creations
with flowing golden-purple hues
that they are in the loving hand
of the ultimate being
that knows each grain of sand

there has only been one day
since the creation of the world
the sun has never died
and never been reborn
