I cry for the world tonight.
For all the love
that aches to deserve.
I cry for the world tonight,
and every voice that
deserves to be heard.

We stand on a tiny moment
that astounds our ability
To understand
it’s intensity, fragility
and sensitive nature at hand

This is my cry,
This is my comforter
My bonfire

If one scrapes to find
A solution for
Every complex mathematic
He or she escapes the meaning
While the true soul sings ecstatic

I cry for the world tonight
For all the love
that aches to deserve
I cry for the world tonight,
and everything that deserves
to be loved.

Every single day
When you wake up
Let the first thing that you think of
Be something that you LOVE

A Flower,
A Friend,
A Favorite Song,
The list goes on,
And on-
And on.

If you cannot
Think of a thing in sight-
Hug yourself,
Hold on tight
And say...
"Everything will be alright."
Because it will
All you need to do
Is just sit still
Sit quietly
With your mind...
With your soul
Be gentle with yourself
Be kind

Sometimes we have to open our eyes
To see the light, no matter how dim,
No matter how bright
For even on the darkest night
The moon still shines for you

Embracing you with light
Right where you're standing
With love in Spirit,

tHE tERRY tREE

I want to sing the right words
I want for you to rest your pretty head,
hurt-less.

I will pet your cheek.
So smooth I will comfort
your sensitivity.
I will connect you
Little pieces by pieces
I will paint with thickness
I will sew the stitches-
In love

Unsettled your eyes with tears
give back, I will give back
the gentle kisses that you spent
I will hammock you
reborn
Everything destroyed in you
I will put back together

With angels you will be
With wings to set you free
With angels you will be
With wings…

The stars surround the pools of lightening in your eyes
Like the willow hangs its leaves in quiet wise disguise
The moment that we met my heart soon realized
That you were something more than ever to behold
Something reminiscent of a blanket in the cold
A beautiful illusion to unfold
Like the greatest bedtime
Story ever told

We walked onto the water with such grace
The sun was shining down so brightly on your face
The memories of everything I love began to race
And the beating in my heart became replaced
By the the rhythm of your pulse upon my chest
Your warm arms melted all around me
And every care had found a place
To be remembered in
The space that we
Embraced

We stood for hours holding hands beneath the showers
Of mirror blue dreams that all became the both of ours
We were relentlessly engaged in one another
Appreciating every blessing of such power
Given by our Mother's Nature
Spirit found us to be grateful
There was no stopping
What imagination blazed
Out of this beautiful
Umbrella of
Light rays

I'll sing to you the songs of water lullabies
Effortlessly I'll carry you sweet love of mine
Each step we take we'll leave behind
Another tear, you are divine

Please rest your head
Upon my shoulder
Anytime

There is a
Welcoming without
Spiritual coaxing
Between us
Natural and wonderful
Wherever I am
This is my home
Wherever you are
You are never alone
How can I leave my home
When it is everywhere
And you are there?

Would it be
That we are
Matter and energy
Combined in our
Consciousness
Of one
Protected and
Wrapped
Into a bouquet of
Infinite potentialities

As every star in very shape
And every color
Is discovered
In the universal playground
Of our outer space
Shooting across the skies
Of our inexhaustible
Vision from within

We are
Resonating from behind
Our human disguise
Coexisting in
Every ripple of water
Glimmering without
Exception
Melting
In every grain of sand
That shines
Beneath the sun
We are
One

And
There is a
Welcoming without
Spiritual coaxing
Between us
Natural and wonderful
Wherever I am
This is my home
Wherever you are
You are never alone
How can I leave my home
When it is everywhere
And you are there?

What is looking
Out of your eyes
Is in me
You are the flower
That praises
The spirit that travels
Up my spine
With the fragrance of
Forgiveness
Fervently

You are the
Pure light that flows down
In streams upon every single hair
Of my enlightened crown
Igniting the everlasting soul
Of this human being
With the windswept
Potions of scientific
Insurmountable measures
Beakers of tenderness
Carrying our undeniable
Unconditional love-treasures
Toward a paramount presence
That free will floats
Into a cloud of what is
Eternally wise and
Unbroken
Free from damage
Cradled in
Supernatural
Light

We are not asleep
Or awake
We are the silent
Earthquake

What is looking
Out of your eyes
Is in me
You are the flower
That praises
The spirit that travels
Up my spine
With the fragrance of
Forgiveness
Fervently

In sweet
Serenity
Arise as
I surrender
To thee
And
Inner
Peace

There is a window
In your soul
Like the window
In your home
You cannot see it
But you will know it
When you feel yourself
Begin to glow

Your soul is in your heart
It radiates
It’s in your hair
And every part
Of you that bleeds
In every part of you
That dreams

When you are angry
When you are sad
When you cannot even
Think to begin to stand
When you have fallen
And it’s useless to get up
Open up the window
In your soul
Like the window
In your home

Turn the latch
Lift it up
Push it out
Let the panes
Open you up
With love

Feel the rush
As you let go
Feel the power
Of your soul
Your secret key
Your special tool
It’s always there
Do not be fooled
You can almost picture it
Perhaps just like a window
A skylight where you can sit
Believe in it

This is a place that you can go
A place for you nobody knows
And this window
It has wings
It helps you fly away
From things
When you accept things
As they are
Your soul becomes
This Shining Star
The Star
You’ve always been

Don’t try to be something
You’re not
Attempt to be the thing you are
When you find it
Hold on tight
Attempt to actually Be The Star

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done
For this has shaped who you’ve become

You are a present of great worth
You’ve been God’s child
Since your birth
God does not make mistakes
God does not throw things away

From the moment you were conceived
This is when the window
Of your soul
Grew into you
This part of you inside
This place that you can go
A place for you
That no one knows
Just how to get to
Without you
And this window
It has wings
It helps you fly away
From things
When you accept things
As they are
Your soul becomes
The Shining Star
You’ve always been

And in the end
This is the cord
That links you to
ALL of creation
Through and through
To know this place
Is to be guided
Into the wealth of
ALL existence
To be with God
To be In the arms
Of your Divine Mother
Forever

Your spirit always knew
Even when earth’s distractions taught you how to
Forget the truth, to be something else
To be something you were never born to do

Do not try to be something
You are not
Just be the special thing that you are
Attempt to actually Be The Star

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done
For all of this has shaped
The beautiful spirit
That you’ve become

When you look inside yourself
And you find the thing that makes you sing
You’ve found your soul
You’ve found your window
To God and to your truth

And yes this window
DOES have wings
And it WILL help you
Fly away from things
That have hurt you
When you accept these things
As they are
Shining brightly
You Are The Star
You’ve always been

Find your soul
Find your window
Spread your wings
And let your spirit’s path
Begin

tHE tERRY tREE

Topaz dreams and fire flowers
Find their way into
Shadows and streams
In the space between
Our hearts and minds
Seams of alchemy
Blowing stars into birds
To touch our courageous
Sunlit beams
Dripping
Kissing
We

Keep
Running from our light
Praying that we’ll stay
Painting colors oh so bright
In the emotions we display
Flying

We are a painting in one another
A brush stroke full of hope
A paradox of intimately curious
Wings that have found a way to cope
Building a birdhouse home
On the backs of each other
Bones and sacred stones
A paradox of intimately curious
Wild tornadoes

Embracing
We walk in dark we walk in day
With footsteps often clumsy
And telepathy is not as easy as
Psychics will convey

Your hair is made of flowers
Or at least it seems that way
Our hearts are painted gold close to
The way the yellow birds that play
Around us when we stand
Glowing in our space
Exclusively
Beneath the tree
We made
Where Amen’s tears
The sun god
Rain

Around our love
Rushing in rushing out
Breathing in breathing out
Hold me close push me away
Both of us praying the other
One will stay
Kneeling
Pray

We are a painting in one another
A brush stroke full of hope
A paradox of intimately curious
Wings that have found a way to cope
Building a birdhouse home
On the backs of each other
Bones and sacred stones
A paradox of intimately curious
Wild tornadoes

This is our butterfly parade

Do you know how incredible you are?
I didn’t think so.
I told you once.
I think you forgot.

When I look into your eyes
When I feel your heartbeat
With all your insecurities
Every one
Your beautiful purity
Your soft light
The aura of your miracle
Is truly
Blinding
Us

Let me look at you
Ah, there you are
Like a blast from the past
Like the thing
I’ve always been looking for
Waiting for
Waiting
No
More
For

That smile is something else…
Where did you get that?
God must have given that to you.
It certainly looks as beautiful as God makes me feel.

Do you remember that time
When we were dreaming together?
You held my hand and we were running
Through the fields of our love
The light was so blinding
Exactly the same way
That you’re blinding
Me now

If I promise to hold you
To be there to unfold you
When the emptiness
Remains
And the clouds
Settle in
Could you promise
To smile at me like that
Everyday?
What if I say
You can be however you want?
Would you drop your insecurities?
Would you drown me in the purities
Of your love?
Could it be
Our love?

The things you don’t believe
About yourself
Are the things I will encourage
Everyday that you attempt
To travel backwards
And discourage it
I will be there
If you trust me
If you take my hand
We can move this
Mountain

Someone forgot to tell you
How beautiful you are
I am only grateful
Because I get to be the one
To say it
In
This
Moment

Do you remember that time
When we were dreaming together?
You held my hand and we were running
Through the fields of our love
The light was so blinding
Exactly the same way
That you’re blinding
Me now

Shine on
Glow
Even if you truly
Do not know
One day
You will
And I will be here
To soothe the pain
To face the fear
To add a feather
On either side
To find you
When you want to hide
To help you
Extinguish your insecurities
To Spread your wings
To help you blind the world
With the light of your love
And
Other
Things

Looking at life
From both sides shows
The dark and light
As energy flows
In waves of sadness
Emotional
Imminent gladness 
In tides that glow
A smile can be
A frown you
Know

Loving this life
Is easy to do
Feeling the pain
Effortless too
And somehow 
Recognizing truth
Gives us permission
To be confused

To savor the rain
To love the sun
To feel in ways
That we have won
Without the days
Of feeling down
Feeling loved and
Feeling great
Is such a
Flip-flopped
Mental
State

With every step 
We risk to take
Our spirit's find
Ourselves awake
We feel deceived
We feel alive
We feel defeated
Buried, defied
Our disappointments
Still reside
Keeping us 
From joy
Hiding
The 
Light
Extinguishing
What
Shines
Inside

Deep within
Our bodies lie
Our greatest guide
Our greatest stride
Resonating
In our spines
Answers to questions
God will find
If just to ask
In prayer
Of mind

Without the darkness
We are not light
Without the dimming
We are not bright
Without the anger
Where is delight?

Looking at life
From both sides shows
The dark and light
As energy flows
In waves of sadness
Emotional
Imminent gladness 
In tides that glow
A smile can be
A frown you
Know

No matter how much 
Disbelief
Sorrow, blues, 
Heartache or grief
To feel the way
In which we do
Can be another
Tear or two
Closer still
To our relief
Finding our way
Towards inner peace
Good fortune, comfort, 
Hopefulness
Is gained
With every 
Pang
And
Bliss

The eclipse of our
Doubt sustains
Our certainty
Where love 
Remains

Always

Imagine how low
Uncharted this flow
My love
Immeasurable
Depth of seas below
Think of
Oceans that we know
The deeper we go
My love

Limitless long streets
Send me home to thee
Above
Where sweet sun retreats
Bright moonlight completes
Our love
We challenge beliefs
And dance with our feet
Above

Prance the curving moon
Space exploring views
My love
Unmapped oceans brew
Moonwaltzers canoe
Our love
A zillion stars shoot
There is no end to
My love

Measure if you can
Bottomless heartlands
Think of
White moon dust and sand
Boundless is our end
My love
Hold onto my hand
Behold our wingspan
Of love

Sometimes I wonder
What it is about life
That makes me love it so much?
Skipping, laughing, singing and such
Enough has sure happened
It seems that I couldn't
There are plenty of reasons
To tell me I shouldn't.

But I do

Sometimes I wonder
Why did he have to go?
Why's it her time today?
How on Earth, Mother Earth
Does the good Lord know,
That it's her time to stay
And his time to go?
How in tarnation
am I still here, you know?
How in all the stars
could it be so...
That I should stay here and live
While others should go?

But I do

I'm friendly enough
I suppose that's a perk
Yes, I'm quite a bit nicer
Than you're regular ****
But still it sure seems
There is more to this maze
This puzzle of why
I'm still able to gaze upon life
Clearly I'm no more important than he?
Certainly not of more value than she.
I scratch my head pondering
I haven't a clue
But stay here and stay here and stay here

I do

A thought came to me
What do I have to give?
This must be why
I've been chosen to live.
So I smile at anyone,
Total strangers in fact
Although folks seem to find it
Pretty hard to smile back
Yes I smile with a healthy
"Good Mornin'!," "Good Day!"
Even though I get looks that say,
"Hey go climb a tree!"
"Stay there awhile!" "Don't look at me!"
It seems that I shouldn't even want to say "Hi!"

But I do
Can you tell me why?

Each moment I live
That I'm feeling okay
I make something out of,
And sure I have days...
Like when push comes to shove
It's all over I'm through
I can't take any more
I can't bear to go on

But somehow I do

I have come to believe
To make sense of all this
That for many of us
Ignorance is not bliss
The more that we know and
The harder we grow
The hurt starts to break us
And take us below
What our standard for life
Used to be normally
Where our hopes and our dreams
To succeed and achieve
Become weighed down by life
By the bills and the truth
And the pills and our youth
That our families don't love us
And equality lies, racism, slavery
Government spies
Pets and friends die
Staying strong in this life
Makes us come all unglued

But I do

Only one thing could make me
See deep into what this whole purpose
For living is meant to be loved
Because life can take beautiful
And tear it apart
Smother and drown out
Our once vital spark
Turn reasons to live for
Into something so dark
Give credence to evil and
Break open our hearts
Stomp out the innocent
Choke out the weak
Pay to keep mouths shut
Tell us not to speak

But I do

I believe of the ones that are left to record
What takes place
On this plain we call Earth
Our reward
On this grain in the sand of our beached Universe
You and I, we protect all the wavering minds
From the hurt as we bleed
Hold the hands, hold the headspace
Of the mentally blind, kind people
Are the best kind of people to find
And for those of you out there that can't
Crack a smile
Could you make an exception
And smile for awhile?
You may not see a reason to

But I do

Give compliments, flowers
Fruit, a breath of fresh air
Take a walk in the park with a friend
If you dare
Make room in your heart
To look after each other
Bend down, look around
Reach out to your brother
This is the reason we haven't been taken
We are stronger than most
Do not be mistaken
This is your chance to be there, not to run
Tomorrow just might be too late
When the sun starts to rise
How will you live with yourself
You decide
It will hurt your heart more
To leave someone behind
If you help them
You may not know what you will find

But I do 

tHE tERRY tREE

Let me sing you to sleep
Let me have you to keep
Let me let you go
Help me let you know
You are free to fly
You are free to go
Spread your wings
At anytime
My butterfly

Let me caress your wings
Let me share with you the finer things
No one else ever has
Let me take the chances
Everyone was afraid to have
With you
Sing you
A song
Of love
A lullaby
A coo

Your fluttering flight
Through life to fight
To spread your wings
To greater heights
I am humming
To the beat of your heart
To let you know
You are safe here
You are home

Your colors never
Have to compromise
Your excitement
Will be not dampened
Your light
Will be not hampered
Your cup
Will be not empty
You are free to fly
Any time that you are
Tempted

Life is too short
To prevent you
From living it
That's why I'm
Giving it
All to you
A song
A chant
A lullaby
Of truth

As your wings develop
May my love envelop
You
Careful not to suffocate
Gentle is your transformation
Changing, growing
Becoming your
Incredible
Hue

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
My butterfly, my lullaby
My sweetest sweet
If you should ever need to leave
Ever feel the need to breathe
Take my hand
Feel the release
Of being free
Free to return
Free to adventure
Just as I mentioned
Into the wild
The great abyss
I will give thee
A butterfly kiss
Twice on your cheeks
Once on your lips

Follow your heart
Around the world
My love will never wane away
My feelings will not shift for you
Tomorrow, Ten thousand years, or today
This unconditional vein of love
Will always be here
Waiting for you
To sing this
Lullaby
Of truth

Let me caress your wings
Let me share with you the finer things
No one else ever has
Let me take the chances
Everyone was afraid to have
With you
Sing you
A song
Of love
A lullaby
A coo

Remember the sound
Remember the song
Remember the humming
The drumming, the buzzing
The one that I've been singing
All along, your lullaby, your song
Flap your wings, feel the beat
Let the rhythm be the wind
Beneath

A song of liberation
Embracing the
Freedom within you
A lullaby for my butterfly
Fly away if you must go
As you spread your wings
Remembering
You always have
A home
Here
With
Me

You carry a weight that's so heavy
A caravan filled with so many
You journey along, the sand is your song
And heat filled with sun rays aplenty

With your guidance we soon will become
Unified with God's grace and God's love
Your knowledge is great, sufficient in strength
Standing small as you tower above

You feel pain just the same as we do
You will cry tears of sadness for you
Tune into the light, your spirit is bright
You reflect what sunlight shines in you

Teaching us to heal and to move on
Even dark times when sadness has won
To listen up close, is what I have chose
Especially when life comes undone

Spirit Camel, you never run dry
Capabilities keep you alive
You're a natural at heart, playing the part
Mother Nature intended you by

To ride on with you makes me feel safe
With you there is no rush and no haste
Taking our time, learning how to decide
With a rhythm of peaceful-like pace

Self sustaining without an ego
Spreading love every place that we go
We survive day and night, sharing your plight
We are one with your wandering soul

As your milk provides food for your calf
You have cared for us on your behalf
Without a complaint, and in your restraint
It appears that you smile and laugh

You must see how humans sometimes seem
Like a nightmare and not like a dream
Yes we can be, idiotic you see
We have so much to learn from your scheme

I am honored to know you great one
May your message be carried with love
Through winds and life's storms, may we be reborn
With your courage and gentle wisdom

Crack in my heart
I feel a break begin
A start to fall apart
Not yet these things

I am so happy
In this newfound place
This grace
I am not ready

Though I have known
You yes for years
My soul cries out
How long it's been
That I have known you

In this length of time
Yes our souls have
Known the other
I have at many times
Considered
Even called on you
As brother

Now I cry when I
Am happy
Not tears of joy
But tears of pain
Remind me of the rain
Of which I love

Play with me
And mine old memories
In a sandbox
For all time
Which to consider
Every feeling of sublime
Fluttered forgiveness

As my heart wants not
In-two be broken
It craves only
That which heals
Out the unspoken

Still unreal
Has cause such thinking
When connection
Meets with sinking ships
Emotional equality that drips
Away, it melts and frays

As plucked each thread
Bright colors dead
Beholds the canvas of our painting
Torn to shreds
With the passion of a feather
Quill once bled

Upon the pavement
Of our wings
In the bread of our concern
Here lies instead my
Heart's forgiveness
As gifts the benefit misled

Exonerate this feast
At table and at seat
And for the sake
If not our friendship
At least for every
Other that would glean

If not to grow
Then why to bend so
In the end?
If not to bend so
One cannot mend
Such cracks
My friend

With sunlight
And invisibility
Even in the things
We cannot see
All Unseen forces

Cannot

The things we need
To see it through
The miracle
The revelation
The tenderness
Of all creation

With respect
With love
Combing the care
Brushing our fingers
Through every single hair
Of one another

Looking up with
Eyes of wonder
A childlike spirit
Of thunder
Create in us
Forgiveness
Ethereal joy
Every girl
Every boy

No matter what age
No matter what stage
In our lives may we
Strive to learn
What you teach
Feeling renewed
Everyday
Not tired
Nor afraid
Brand new
When we
Awake

With respect
And With love
Combing the care
Brushing our fingers
Through every single hair
Of one another
Soft strands
No demands
Gentle
Hands

A newness
A wholeness
A tenderness
To care for
One another
Our Grandfathers
Our Grandmothers
Our Great Great
Ancestors
A magic

A pure love

Of eternal
Growth
And
Blow

Explode with
Revelation
A rapture of happiness
Rejoicing in the prize
The gift of one another
The jewel of our lives
The sweetness in
Our eyes

And With love
Combing the care
Brushing our fingers
Through every single hair
Of one another
Soft strands

Will you dance with me?
Even in the stormy seas
Will you dance with me?
Let our spirits soar and swing
Can we hold on
While letting go
At the same time
Of everything
Throwing our cares
Like brilliant kites
Into the wind
Watch the sunrise
Never looking back
Again
Watch the sunset
Our inhibitions
Free to
Bend
Will you dance with me?
Illuminating

Follow me into the sky

Reaching out beyond the top
Our hands are linked
We cannot stop
Can we spin
And fall
And sink
Can we glide
And blaze
Within the blue
Twisting and turning
Like eagle lovers
Often do

Will you dance with me?
Let our inhibitions chime
Across the heavens
A storm of flames
All brilliant-like
We are
The sound
Of lightening
As we
Tango through the stars
Exploring galaxies
And Mars
There is no limit
To how far
We will frolic
In our waltz
The universe
Is ours

Will you dance with me?
Vibrate from head to toe
Rhumba and foxtrot
With our hearts
Whirl and sway
A feather dance
Of native love
In
Every
Way

Will you dance with me?
Can we spin
And fall
And sink
Can we glide
And blaze
Within the blue
Oh, how I want to be
Twisting and turning
Here with you
Like eagle lovers
Often do

Will you dance with me?
A dance for all time
A samba, a strut
A step where
We unwind
Releasing our fears
Painting our tears
Watching the sky
Become the canvas
Of our eyes
No longer
Dreaming
Of your
Spirit
Catching you
Catching me
Catching you
Eternally

Dance with me...

Hidden grace, no light for revelation
To pass such limits is to become ******
Like the dragon or a serpent monster
Your myth has become fixed in minds on earth

All the forces that disturb you demand
Darkness is your indetermination
Blazed in trails of blackness you command
Symbols of evil and demonic birth

In the Underworld you plot and saunter
Grotesque in cloven hooves or horns you stand
You are our fear the tormentor at hand
Stealing our only hope for self-love worth

You disturb and weaken every nation
Eliminating those who will prosper

You have a tool box filled with shapes galore
A choir of demons at your disposal
You wear the face of animals to prove
That you exist but will not show your face

Temptation is your favorite proposal
As you create ****** carnage and gore
Attacking innocents world wide; global
It is your goal to blacken and erase

It is unclear when you will make a move
Your starless magic uncontrollable
Your angry heart is inconsolable
In every mouth you leave an awful taste

The only thing that satisfies is war
Beelzebub to slaughter good it behooves

Clipping spiritual wings of all beings
Entering into those at their weakest
Supposition of your essence is sly
What you are has no particular shape

You've made a pact to stand against Jesus
Disintegrating all Saints from seeing
Wicked ways are in all ways the cheapest
To ingress means whole-purity escapes

Human life is interwoven freely
Free will allows the mind to go deepest
When we take the path we take the steepest
Secreted in your invisible cape

To return is without guaranteeing
With mastery disposing us to die

I believe that beneath us is a rug
One that you delight in pulling away
Much like this rug our minds become feeble
And we begin to believe everything

Our moral and metaphysical ways
Begin to end as our shoulders will shrug
Entire atmospheres are grey for days
To open up our mouths yet not to sing

What we decide can often be lethal
A personal domain of hellbent maze
As we lose sight our lives become a daze
Of which no hope or light can often bring

Our deception is your favorite drug
When we feel at our worst you are gleeful

The seeker of hidden knowledge must keep
A balance like the Hermit's inner peace
Otherwise the journey will fall victim
To flowing currents of hateful power

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing you have fleece
To hold on to our light is to succeed
Pull back the reigns of life commanding "Cease!"
Do not fall from your enlightened tower

Satan is a trickster sent to sicken
Our ability to wager disease
To believe that he exists is to please
Negative energy to devour

The best part of me is only asleep
Isolation has become addicted

Prince of Darkness, Antichrist, King of Hell
Appearing to the blind slave of instinct
You have no sovereignty be gone from me
I confront thee I am ready and still

Lucifer, Angel of Darkness extinct
You do not know my spirit guides that well
Distraction is what makes you so succinct
I have no desire to go downhill

Your downward spiral was a slide to see
How you manipulate what others think
Mephistopheles, Archfiend of distinct
Measures to tear others down you conceal

I dispel, I kiss forever farewell
Rest quietly in harmony dreaming

A lullaby for you I have written
On my heart as ancient as Egyptians
The Vedas and Sumerian temples
Will embrace you even in rejection

Your actions are despised in omission
I believe your bitter self was bitten
Release your broken spirit condition
Open your eyes and arms to affection

We can all be as one in one vessel
There are good folks and there is suspicion
Prayer of my song, a hymn of permission
Release thy tortured ways to connection

Evil drifts up, Listen, Listen, Listen
As our bodies fill with light and tremble

Shhhhh.......

You are my dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again

You are my unicorn
You are my buried treasure
You are the thing
Everyone says that
Does not exist
I feel you in my veins
I feel your tender bliss
I know your magic kiss
Never solicitous
Even when they say
You don't exist

We are stars
Communicating with each other
You are my sister
You are my brother
My Sacred father
Our Divine Mother
When I am asked
How do you know
Prove your higher power lives
I wonder how, I wonder if
People truly know what
Love is

I have never had to prove
The love that I feel
The way that your light
Can heal
Your touch
The chills that rush
Around my everything
My temple heart
My body's Internet

As I connect with
Lightworkers here on earth
We reach out to understand our birth
Together we experience
Your unforgettable worth
For without this light
I could not fight
My warrior heart would
Fall apart
And
Die

You are my strength from within

That is why
You are my dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again
And
Again

I don't have to win
I could never lose
I want to share your love
But we all have to choose
To see it on our own
To feel it in our blood
To make in you
A home

My Phoenix rising

When I think of what you created
The connections that we have
The starlight between us
The way that you guide us
The way that you lead us
I know we are only as far
Away from one another
As the next star

I sat on the beach
Trying to reach you
Earnest in my heart
Was my prayer
To feel you there
To stare
I looked to the heavens
My eyes married the sky
I watched as electricity
Vibrated and waved
Between each starlight
Stars, your creation
Just as we are
Your worldwide
Love destination
The stars shine together well
Let this be our magic
Let this be our spell

When we look into the night
Let this be a mirror for living
A way for us to understand
That we too can be giving
To each other
Shining light all around
One another
My neighbor
My sister
My landlord
My brother
Animals
Our Fathers
And our
Mothers

You make me proud
To be a star for you
With you
I am also a tree
I'm a bird
We are free
I am the song in your hands
Your favorite love letter
Your favorite note
Every word that you spoke
I am written on
The universe in your
Temple heart
And you are
By far
My earth
My wind
My water
You are
My fire
You are

My eternal breath of life

My dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again
And
Again
And
Again

Feel this through me
Heal this in me
This dream of
Am I awake or am I
Asleep?
I want to keep
You close to me
In and out of this
Dreamscape
A carousel of colors
Raindrops are
Rainbows
As your love
Flows in and out
Of the pulse we
Create and bow
Together

Turn over
Toss my head am I alive?
Is this the end?
Am I only dreaming
That the
Feeling is so real
Like you are here
With me
As above
So below
Oh

There you are
Sitting on the star
I left you on
Where did I go?
I remember we were there
Sitting in a chair of love
Spinning in a swing
Winning, swimming
In the depths of our
Buried treasures
Deep in our
Hearts
The
Sacred
Parts

There are good feelings
And there are bad
There are joyous
And there are sad
Good people to befriend
And bad ones to be had
You are my glow
You remind me of home
The breadcrumbs of my soul
Lead me back to our
Original form
Comet-driven
Bold and unforgettable
Brightness
A clamor of ocean tides
Spread wide throughout
The crevices of
Every salty sea that hides
Our Dead Sea scrolls
Of unbelievable
Heralds
Angels that choir
A dance in the sky
Am I losing
My mind?

Feel this through me
Heal this in me
This dream of
Am I awake or am I
Asleep?
I want to keep
You close to me
In and out of this
Dreamscape
A carousel of colors
Raindrops are
Rainbows
As your love
Flows in and out
Of the pulse we
Create and bow
Together

Above the waves of love
Beyond the song
In the cave of our
Eternity
No right
No wrong
In the serenity
Of our reality
My sunlight
My starbright
My out-of-sight
Dreamscape
Delight

Our island of
Disbelief
Free from
Grief
And the
Midnight
Love
Thief

I thought I was asleep
I thought it was a dream
The electronic shock
Of lightening
Pulsating through me
Moving at speeds
Of light
Incalculable to
Conceive
But I can
Feel
Feeling
Real
I feel
You
Feel
Feeling
With
Me

This is our
Dream

In a boat
Flirting with the sea
Fancy meeting you here
My infinity

Like a prayer
The air and the view
Drifts in through my eyes and
Down to my heart

The greatest love affair
Any romance novel has written
Or that any feather has been gifted
To fly in marriage with the sky

You are my guardian
Nature you hold the key
To every door I long to open
My destiny

Free to roam
About the cabin of my thoughts
With Courage, Strength and Opulence
I row with oars of hope and light

Drifting in a boat
In the middle of the sea
Holding hands with God and Spirit
Endless unity

© tHE tERRY tREE

You are the echo
On the other side
Of the room
In my heart
You are the beat
That drums within
Every brand new
Day I start

You are the rise
You are the fall
Of every sun
And every moon

Every moment
That I turn around in
If I want to give up
You tell me,
"Not yet,
It's too soon..."

You are the hope
In which I live and dream
The silver clouds and
Colored schemes

I am grateful for my arms
To embrace the love
I've found
In you

I am grateful for my words
To speak the truth
Of how you make
Me feel

I am grateful for my nerves
That send the signals
To let me know
You are here

I am healed

I am grateful for my eyes
For without them
I would have
No sight

Hold me now
In this moment I have found
I am on a journey
To your house of
Living light

I am empowering
My deepest nature
You are the word that
Enlightens my
Destiny
You are the echo
That resonates
Within me

Unearth this infinite
Measure from within
That I can sense
You are the ultimate
Eternal presence

Wake me up
No, let me sleep
You are the holy place
Inside that I never
Want to leave

There are two wolves
Deep within my heart
A wolf of love
And a wolf of hate
I feed the wolf
That resonates
With your love
For your love
Is my love
And my love
Is your
Love

Brilliant, shining
Gorgeous love
Penetrating
From above

I allow this place
To hold me at
All times
I allow your
Breath of love
To rise
Inside
Me like
A dove

My lungs are filled
With truth
My lungs are filled
With you
A breath of wings
Fly like prayers
That say thank you
To your incredible
Warmth as you
Swarm around me
You are there
With a vibration
I can't see
But I can recognize
As your fire
Melts away all pain
Before my
Eyes

You are the echo
On the other side
Of the room
In my heart
You are the beat
That drums within
Every brand new
Day I start

My echo
My sacred journey
My love-connection
The ultimate direction
My favorite footprint
Unsurpassable
Presence of
Protection

I am open to your love
And the boundaries that
Separate me from
The rest of the world
Fall away as I
Evolve

You enlighten
You revolve
You are
A bright blue
Reflection
A sun-filled
Soft Blanket
Of affection

I journey to
Your life house
You are my
Dreamcatcher
My new way of being
You are
The beautiful echo
I'm living and
Breathing

Surround yourself with love and light
Embrace the darkness with the bright
God will help you to decide
Stretch your branches far and wide
Pray to Spirit "Lift Me Up!"
Divine Mother "Hold Our Trunks!"
Roots are growing endlessly
Friends surrounding peacefully
We breathe love in, We blow love out
Our tree is blowing flowers about
Around and round we chant to you
We feel your Spirit coming through
May we be blessed with family
As relatives in harmony
Show us O Lord that we may be
On earth as heaven graciously
May we join hands as One and see
Your vision for our Unity
Your sparkle is our family tree
Your eyes are stars that beam and gleam
We are the children of your dreams
You are in all our limbs and leaves
Our eyes reflect your shining gaze
One to another for endless days

I balance
Rotating and fixed
Upright
Suspended freely
Compelling insight
Keeps me
Remaining right side up
As I revolve in this life

Breaking the chains of
Weak slavery in my
Self created habits
I reconstruct the wheel
To appeal in an
Exercise of wisdom
Within the universal
Kingdom of resurrected
Light

I am certain to follow
My soul path as I journey
Deeper into my heart
For what I believe
Controlled not by
Useless desires
Destroyed not
By grief
Rising
Eyes wide open
In relief

I choose my trials wisely
From this moment on
I choose to learn
For the last time
Trials that no longer
Promise to teach me
Anything more
In a golden ratio
Of vibrating love
I engage the power
Of every beacon
Every tower
Resilient to
Shine

I choose to learn
For the last time
Trials that no longer
Teach me
Divine

Mental powers expanding
My cup of realization
Has the capacity
To hold an ocean
Of understanding
Awareness enlightening
Brightening knowledge
Surrounding me
In footfalls
Of cascading
Arms and light
Day and night
Day and night

I smile the indestructible smile
Within this ferris wheel
I balance
Rotating and fixed
Upright
Suspended freely
Compelling insight
Keeps me
Remaining right side up
As I revolve in this life

The milky serpents of stars above
Reveal a code of comprehension
For earth and celestial
Apprehension
A blinding
A blurring
Elements stirring
Strength

Great works of
Perseverance unfold
The beating sky beholds
An invitation opening
Beyond the gates of
Heaven and hell
Intertwined
Break the
Shell

You are the master
Of your ferris wheel

tHE tERRY tREE

Silently each color
Rainbows across
The infinite mist
That invisibly cloaks
The grassy plains
Of this magnificent
Vulnerable earth

After the dawn
And in between
Each raven's song
We stand in awe
Before the lovely stars
Have cast more than
A thousand winks
From heaven's angels

Blooming with beams
Of radiance
If only to remember this...
The moment
Mother Nature
Gave to each of us
Her very first
Soft-brilliant kiss

Initiate our souls into the light
Flamingo yes your hue is burning bright
Your colors lighting up the night
We migrate out of darkness within you

Enlighten us to heal our weary hearts
To be with love and never to depart
Appreciating brand new starts
Your beauty resonates us deep within

We want nothing more than with you to be free
To fly away from stress along with thee
Our wings could only hope to grow
As beautiful as yours unfold
You are the breath of freshened air
Our spirits call to breathe repair

In my memory of you I see poise
Noticing your stance without a noise
Perfectly still you are seen
Tranquil in life's pond so serene

As we pass through to become in ourselves
Teach us how to become nothing else
Than the magnetic beautiful creatures
Spirit designed with every feature

We are a gift to the flowing
Always coming always going
There never seems to be enough
Time in the universe thereof
To take a moment to enjoy
And therefore we destroy

This is an ode to your sweet nature
A song of love and light not danger
A memory we are creating
A vibrant show of figure skating

In the circle of acceptance now
Our wings are rising up to bow
Take in the scenery with deepened breath
Never afraid of shaking hands with death

For we are peaceful and at rest
Knowing we always do our best
A true beginning has no end
Drinking from life as we befriend
The journey of our soul path
In a spiritual rose bath

Amen

Flood me with your love
Don't hold back
Don't refrain
Don't be afraid
To seal your fate
We feel the same
This is our truth
I feel the Spirit
When I'm with you
You are my light
You are the truth

Like an avalanche
Your emotions rain
Feel free to be
The way you are
When you're with me
No restrictions
Nothing's too much
No expectations
Just acceptance
And pure
Love

You've been alone
And pushed away
No one to call on
Everyday
Trapped inside
A barricade of snow
Nowhere to go
Nothing to flood
No where to flow

Calling all angels
Spread your wings
Open your arms of light
And bring us
Hope
Bring us home
A way to cope
With emptiness
Giving back to those
Who chose to love us
Just as we are
Just as the stars
We were created
To be

Send your dove
Of cosmic love
To touch us in the night
To teach us in our dreams
To hold us when we cry
To comfort out the screams

The world is in pain
But we are abundant
Ready to share
Ready to bare
Paving a way
To be eternally
Saved

Flood me with your love
Don't hold back
Don't refrain
Don't be afraid
To seal your fate
We feel the same
This is our truth
I feel the Spirit
When I'm with you
You are my light
You are the truth

Walking through the forest breeze
Hugging Mother Nature's trees
I open up my heart to please
We bow before you on our knees

Stand in the middle
Of the wildwood where
The flowers grow
I'll meet you there
To fill you with a flood
Of love
A landslide of
Fervor and light
Every day
And
Every night

Find a special place to sit
A field, a seat of grass, a place
Where we can quietly visit
Think of me
Speak with your heart
Speak with your mind
I will meet you
You will see
We are connected
Infinitely

Your soul path leads you through
What you will learn on earth
So you can grow the wings
You'll need to fly
When it is time
To say goodbye

And when you say
Godspeed know this
You actually say hello
You see
You're never truly leaving me
I am always with you
You are always with me
Just as your loved ones
Have always been
Anyone you lost
And loved
Has always
Watched you
From above
From behind
Right beside
In every tree
And every stair
You've ever climbed

I am always with you
Listen, listen, listen

Flood me with your love
Don't hold back
Don't refrain
Don't be afraid
To seal your fate
We feel the same
This is our truth
I feel the Spirit
When I'm with you
You are my light
You are the truth
I know that you
Can feel it too

I am always with you
Listen, listen, listen
Shhhhh....
I'm here with
You

In memory of our loved ones and my brother Benjamin (Jan 24, 1985 - Oct 09, 2012)

Glares of Moon Stars
Shine brightly overhead
As I am gazing out my window
Resting in my bed
Thinking of the ones I love
Holding them so tight
With every beat my heart conducts
I hold you in my mind

An orchestra of petals
A choir of starlight
Beckons me come morning
Bends its way through with sunlight
Through an opening I see
The day reach out its hands
Welcoming us to embrace
The gifts that we've been given
Simple blessings we receive

The gift to see each other
The gift to read our words
The gift to hold each other
The gift of hummingbirds
The gift to taste the sweetness
The gift of fruit on earth
The gift to love each other
The gift to know our worth

I pray that we are able
To see the simple gifts
The Christmas of our lives
Everyday not once a year
To be here to support and love
Each other is a gift
And I thank heaven up above
For blessing me with
Your friendship

Summon us the rain yet
With the drums that we recall I
Am the corresponding return
Beautiful lunar and thunder to
A rhythm where all seasons of the
Different viewpoints even ugly in the winter
Are holding up the Universal land
An outer space pond having
Baptized resurrection of acceptance in a chosen
Life-cycle that changes all of the
Symbols through your travels which are heavy.
Changes also equal to soul art
Echo countless metaphors of the
Mindless croaking bond.
Teach in us the thanksgiving of
Heaven's harvest and every single thing
That brings a drunkenness and promise of
Choristers with hymns on stone
For a prolonged life is in and of
What solid reawakening has fortuned deep within upon this earth.
Renewed as well returned I
Carry lucky charms and find that I am
Known in other words bound
With the Spirit to
An ancient stand
That is encountering such places found under
Forces much much before the
Egg existed in a frozen
Past lone part of all creation much much before the thorn
Grew from the rose bush you were jumping by
Far down the brook of evolution where the
Message that you ribbit warm or cold
Is soon discovered befriending those of heart and hearth
As we all listen to your lessons and
The magic song revival that you sing

Can you feel me glowing?
Can you feel me throwing
Stars at you?
Across the sea to you
From me

Feel the pulse in the air
When the wind moves
I am there
Shooting stars across the sky
Everywhere

Place your hand upon your heart
Close your eyes
Clear your mind
Picture gold light
As it starts
Surrounding you
From behind
Hugging you

A falling star above your head
Is tumbling down
Singing brightly, lightly
Listen to its gorgeous sound
Soaring

As it falls closer, closer still
Open up your arms
So you can feel
This glow all over you
Flow all over you
A shower of light
From head to toe

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Now you can feel the glowing
Your love is slowly growing
Bigger, bigger still
Your smile is showing

Bring your arms in
You've been holding out
Feel the light now
Shake the ground
Take your arms
Wrap them around
Yourself
Feel
The
Glow

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Rain, Sun, Wind and Snow
Feel the glow
Wherever you go
I will be there
No matter how far
Sending you
This shooting star
From the sky
Out from my heart

To heal your soul
To ease the pain
To share your joy
Every night and
Every day

Feel the glow
Feel it grow
All around you
Spreading out
In a circle of light
Spreading through
The countryside
Across the earth
Now watch it blast
Into the sky
It burns and glows
Before your eyes

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Embracing you within the light
Every day and every night
We are one

Happy endings are
New beginnings when
I look into your eyes
Celestial sparks
A giant surprise
Of knowing
Life isn't actually over
It's only just begun
My one
My love
My heaven

In everything we face
Every scar we make
Every risk we take
As Spirit guides us
I feel myself falling
Into a great escape
Of wonder
And disguise
No more hate
No more lies
Only love
From above
Be with me
In my pain
My surrendering
Our Torchlight

We live in a world
That is so confused
Incredibly abused
My butterfly
Our whisper of eternity
Calming us down
Raising us up
Introducing possibility
Giving a serenity
Nothing can take away
A tranquility
Nothing can break away
A peace
That no one
Wants
To hurt

The prayer in our forever
Hearts
The promise of protection
Alarms
Bells in our heavens
Happy endings are
New beginnings when
I look into Your eyes
Celestial sparks
A giant surprise
Of knowing
Life isn't actually over
It's only just begun
My one
My love
My heaven

The pulse in my blood
Streams like the rivers
In the beautiful scenes
You have given us
To receive and breathe
Together
To actually
Seize the understanding ways
That you teach us
Every day

To see through the haze
The earthly daze
And feed us
The eternal truth
Of unity
Without judgement
Which is
A cruel and ugly
Imposter
Facing us away
From Loving
In another
In the way that
You have love in
Every child
You have
Fostered

Running through the fields
Of your affection
I ask myself
Are your arms not yet sore?
How you receive my heart
My love my treasure from above
Our heaven
Oh how you never tire
Oh how you never bore
Ever beating
Ever believing
Never retreating
Heaven's door
Watching over
This
Us

Never growing old
Of what we become
How we try
You watch over us
Like your favorite
Movie
You listen to us
Like your favorite
Song

In the face of every beast
In the touch of every animal
Like an army of love
From heaven above
Protect us
From darkness
The sadness of
Confusion
Abusing
Each other
One another
You are
The ultimate
Lover
Of
All

Born before the moon
Conceived before the sun
In every heaven
In every sky
In the womb of every galaxy
Ever born
I am yours
You are mine
And
Happy endings are
New beginnings when
I look into your eyes
Celestial sparks
A giant surprise
Of knowing
Life isn't actually over
It's only just begun

Our One
Our Love
Our Heaven

The further in the reach will cry
To surface beveled wind and sky

Wade less in the pool of text
Encountering the dampest

Moments memories mind to feel
Things our tongues would test to say
To capture the appeal

Our questions answer paradox
As grapes did once conflict the fox

We hinder in the cold
As cinders dark behold
The beautiful unfolds
A hideaway foretold
Of fire and love consoled

Rescue now the winds of time
Along the waters level

Explanations taunt with the tides
Fleeting affection at shoreside

Ever push and pull we are
Fragile such as fading stars

In voice our chords have failed to brace
What lips would speak to chase and chase

New memories will we soon create
Our hideaway at sundown waits

Meet me before the dawn breaks free
Beneath sacred sycamore tree
Our great escape in midnight's cape
With Spirit resting peacefully


© tHE tERRY tREE

A heart that I could call a home
A home that I might find my heart
Walking up a hill at night
Rolling down when sun shines bright
Lift me up into your arms night sky
So that I might cry with tears of joy
To know that there could be a home
For every girl and boy of any age
As this would be my home
You may come and stay
To get away or just to play 
Beneath the stars
We'll say good night
And restful sleep
Rest our heads 
On loving sheep
Until the dawn

tHE tERRY tREE

Your thoughts are kept warm
And unwithered by the bedside
Of an old tree with branches
That I found growing
In the valley of
Our affection

As I
Plant 
Spirit
And vigor
The seeds of 
My smile
Become one 
With pure 
Existence
And the 
Soil

In our tree
Every branch
Finds a particular path
In which to show
An ancient age that 
Time has passed on
For us to share
As new stems 
Grow and
Evolve

A garden of light
What a beautiful sight
Pulsating and flourishing 
As healthy leaves might

Birds resting and nesting
Befriending sunlight
We are the story of life's
Uncharted mystery
Planted in the memory
Of tomorrow's history
And the plantation
Of our heart's
Crop 

As we graze for days and days
For many years to come
We will harvest this
Homestead in the
Never ending
Landscape
Of our
Love

No material possession in the Universe
Could bring forth the richness
I receive in the flame
I know to be as
Your love

The joy of my soul is consecrated in
Your ability to strengthen me
You are the courage that
Transcends all
Weakening

My intuition and my will grasp onto truth
To beckon You, to wish for You
Is my immortal request
To be at rest with
Your existence

Your ever burning Cosmic Spirit enlightens
Holistic brevity in me, a manifestation
That embraces nature ever
So ardently, with waves
Of ocean light

I have known You all my life my great protector
My thoughts about You cannot exist without
The intoxicating reality of Your love
Prayer and meditation bring
Me closer unto You

Without the pleasure of making others happy
Sharing the Divine blessing of Your peace
I would not know that I am
With You and that You
Are here with me

To understand You is to ***** a temple of flowers
In Your name, to know You is to plant a tree
Inside my heart, make me Your vessel in
That I might share Your Spirit through
My words both day and night

I offer You my humble heart a papyrus in which
To scribe onto the blue horizon bonfire of the
Dawn with You my guide, Your prolific
Message for all time both
Infinite and Wise

You are my maker, my creator, my beautiful
Initiator I share my love for Thee in every
Single heartbeat, every corner of the
World, every intelligence of
Pearl, I am Yours

When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
Again and again

My eternal light
Love of my life
Under every rock
Every leaf I overturn
Every note I sing
Every tear that I cry
Every ripple
That I swim
You carry me
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

With you I am
Never alone
Never alone
Even in the darkest alley ways
We find light
A light so bright
Even in the darkest of
All nights
Midnight black
Pitch packed
The cards are stacked
Against the atmosphere
Manipulated by
The world
If but to
Curl up
And fade
Away

No
Not another day...

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
The spirit in my soul
Again and again
My invincible

Under a bridge
In a closet
Filled with broken dreams
Between the cracks
Of misery
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

I am with you Spirit
You are with me
Never alone
Never alone

You are the strings
Of my heart's
Symphony

You are the drum
That beats from
My chest

You are the chords
That echo from
My throat

You are the best

You are the tap dance
That vibrates from
My feet

Beneath me the earth quakes
Into concrete

You are my armor
You are my umbrella
You are my wings
You are my antlers
You are the star
Of every evening
That guides me and
Believes in me
Invincibly

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

You are
My Invincible

KISS THE SKY

Stepping
Into one another
Simply seeing
Our whole
Being
Life as it is
Individual
Hit or miss
Just
Like a
Kiss

They say no two
Snowflakes are
Just alike
Nor is the
Kiss between
Two lights

If we let go
Of what we should
And stop thinking
How we could
Have been
A better version
Of ourselves in
Some distant corner
Of a past life
Some unknown
Universal portal
That survived
A Milky Way
So far away
You and I
We can
Kiss
The
Sky

You and I
We have the power to
Grasp and please
The gods of every
Tree, every lake
Every stone, every sea
And every
Heart that has a home
If we can come just
As we are filled
With the truth
Saved

Of

Who we are to
Our true selves
Our true beings
Be the stars
Stepping
Into one another
Simply seeing
Our whole
Being
Life as it is
Individual
Hit or miss
Just
Like a
Kiss

Take one step forward
Feel the beat
Turn around
Stomp your feet
Now move back
Fear has left
Can you feel it?
Put your hand
Upon your chest
It IS safe to start again
Two steps forward
One step back
Why should it matter?
You're on track
Stay with the rhythm
Feel the bliss
Be the soul
Be the kiss

Kiss the sky
Open your heart
Kiss yourself
For a start
And recall
You are a joy
Through the pain
Through all the toil

No one remembers what you want
It doesn't matter anyway

Be the kiss that you are
Make the memory of
The star you were
Created to see
On the lips
The heart
And the
Spirit
You
Can
Be

Spirit
Mother Divine
Grandfather Fire
Jesus Christ
God the Father
Saints Of All Light
Paramahansa
We pray tonight
May we relax into
The stride
Of
Who we are
To
Our true selves
To
Our true being
This I recite
Everyday
For all
Of us
In every
Way

If we let go
Of what we should
And stop thinking
How we could
Have been
A better version
Of ourselves in
Some distant corner
Of a past life
Some unknown
Universal portal
That survived
A Milky Way
So far away
You and I
We can

Kiss
The
Sky

O how you shine
My lovelight
Divine

I'm diving into
A cosmic flight
Of forever
Please don't 
Hold me 
Back

I have a 
Wheelbarrow
Of light
I've collected
For you

Reaching out
To connect
The two
Roses and hearts
Fields of crystals
Stars apart that
You've been
Shooting off
I caught some
I gathered 
Others
I harvested
Lovelights
Yes
Every
One

I hold them up 
I kiss them bright
I send them off 
Into the great
Divide
Of your 
Blue black
Midnight
Purplish
Sky

Return to me
Return to me
In every dream
My starlit kite
There will be 
Many days 
Between
When you
And I
Will crave
To hold
One another
Again

But until then
I'll play catch
With you
Send your love
Down to this earth
In forms of shining
Bright-light-birth

With gentle
Hands and
Glowing mirth
I will capture 
And return to you
The love you
Send
From outer space
The beauty
Of your
Milky Way
I will treasure
I will embrace
O how you shine
My lovelight
Divine

I can see the
Constellation
Of your face
Shooting stars off
Like the tears
Of Grandmother Ice
I am always with you
Right by your side

Meet me on a glacier
Or on the countryside
I will gladly sail each ocean
To be close to you
To ride, to gallop
Beneath your
Light giving
Astrological tree
Be here with me
As I am with you
I can hear your
Heartbeat
I can feel
You say

"Rest your weary head
On the grass below
May my sun be your blanket
If there is snow
And always 
May you always know
I am always with you
Wherever you
Go..."

O how you shine
Your love is so bright
O how you shine
My precious 
Lovelight

Paint the madness of your life
Wild colors like the sky
Just before the sun sets
To say goodbye

Begin again

What's stopping you? Are you crazy?
Show me how crazy you can be
Paint the world with your crazy love
Every part of your human being
This is you

Embrace yourself with the brush of life
Colors fly from finger tips
Music notes waltz and sway
Through your teeth and out your lips
When you're awake
When you're asleep

Scream it out if you have to
Shout to the world with your
Greatest madness
I love you!

Inner demons creating miracles
Of unspeakable beauty
Forcing you to love even the darkest
Parts of yourself that you fear
Tame the beast
Ride the wolf inside of you
Paw prints of beauty and life
Leaving your tracks of love and light
Behind you

Glow with the power of a thousand sandstorms
Of crazy affection rising all around you

Turn the madness into the most beautiful portrait you know
The painted masterpiece of your soul

Spread your wings, let the Phoenix in you ascend
Feathers out arms wide spread ready set go!
What are you waiting for?

Paint the madness of your soul
You are a masterpiece to behold
Ride the wolf
Feel your heartbeat thunder
Like an earthquake through the floor
Penetrating love across the globe
Do not underestimate your power anymore

You are an eagle so let your voice soar
You are a dragon so let your fire burn forever more
You are a lion, you are
Any beast or creature you desire
Paint your madness like wild fire
Reach down into your core
And let your madness roar!

Those who have love, be strong with your love
The ones we have left are the ones that have kept
Their hearts with their homes in their chests

Yes the world that we live in makes it clear from the start
From the moment you're born, hold on tight to your heart

For to love and be kind will not keep you alive
To be cruel is a tool many use to survive

My prayer, as we gaze into life's riddled maze
For Dear God, those of us left behind...

Here on earth, Divine Mother
Teach us how to uncover
To encourage and nurture each other

Oh Dear Love, with what worth help us pave and rebirth
What a new generation of thought will behold, without doubt

A Kindness shall rise, cruelty fall away
Goodness-
Find a home in the beds that we lay

Every day when I awake
I think of You I call to You
My beloved, my cosmic dove
So many images in my dreams
Reaching out to You
To understand
Every morning I believe
I will receive Your
Blessings and share
Your love that You
Give to me with
Anyone who
Is willing

I follow this with
An affirmation of my love
For Thee
A dedication to the Spirit
A promise to be true
With every moment
With every breath
I breathe I say
To You
Thank You

Thank You for the things
I did not want
Thank You for the things
I could not grasp
On my own
Thank You for being patient
With my mistakes
Thank You for loving me
Regardless of my
Clumsy breaks

Life is like a rink
We travel around
And I fall down
On my roller skates
On my ice skates
This is my fate
But still You pick me up
You give me love again
You push air back into
My lungs
With the song that every
Bird has sung
Together in a choir
Of one harmony
One hymn
A madrigal to
My soul
You make
Me whole

When I share the way You make me feel
With the world so much confusion
Rises up when all I want is for us to heal
Arguments and bantering
Over Your love
Your name
And what You mean
Debates on
Who said what
This cannot be
What you
Intended

If You are compared to nature
Or a picture or a flame
It shakes up our mentality
It sends earthquakes of pain
Vocal disdain shouting
Read this scripture!
You don't know!
You should go!

What of those who are blind?
What of those who have never
Known your light?
On a starry stage
The Earth is your platform
The Ocean is your footlight
The Galaxy is your colosseum
But what if people can't read?
What if folks can't write?
I don't need to read to heed
Your love
There is no need to fight
Your power is in
Everything
The food that I eat
The bed where I sleep
I scream, I shout, I sing,
I whisper...
Believe me
Spirit is everything
God IS in everything
God is in you and
God is in me

As I lay me down
To sleep
I pray the Lord my soul
To keep
I pray that You
Will never leave
I read the words
You gave to me
Written on my holy shadow
The one that You made in me
The words You gave to us
Trumpet

-I am always with you
No matter what you do
No matter where you go
No matter how far
I am in your temple-heart
You are My shining star-

When I think of You
When I meditate
When I kneel down
Every morning and
Every night to pray
I can hear You say...

My child
My perfect creation
My sweet elation
Shhh... it will be okay
Close your eyes
Picture My glory
Listen to this
Bedtime story...

Picture an explosion
In the cosmos
The greatest fireworks
You have ever seen
Do you hear, do see
Can you feel what I mean?
You are bigger than the Big Bang
You are not a theory
You are a part of me
A blast so bright
It could light up
The universe inside My heart
The pulsating Love that
I feel for you My child
Is with Me everyday
You keep Me going
In the same way
That I lift you up
We are as One
You are My
Truth and
I fill your
Cup

When people do not understand
Your love, your words of faith for Me
Your feelings of happiness and peace
Remember I will hold your hand
Smile and don't get upset
For the journey is only beginning
We haven't even made it halfway yet

Cross the bridge of My love
Spiritual boards will lead you
Into My arms
You do not have
To prove anything
Just smile and bring
Your light
SHINE ON!
It is SO lovely...

If everyone loved
One another
The way that
You love Me
My heart
Would beat
So fast
A brilliant
Blast
Of dynamite-like
Love bombs
Would explode
And blaze

Marvel at the atmosphere
In a dazzling daze
Opening every
Eye and
Gaze

In

Amazement at the heavens
A witness to the dream
The message of all time
And space has been received
Love One Another
As I have loved you

They love each other
As I have loved them
They love each other
As they love Me!!!
A beautiful love surprise
Indeed!
This is all we
Need to be
The only truth
We want
This is all the
World needs
Humanity
Philanthropy
To Love each other
As I have loved you
And you My
Child have
Loved
Me...

Our love for God
Will ultimately be
The strongest love
We shall ever seek

If we can love
One another
As we love God
As God loves us
Even just a little bit
Could be more than enough

If we can treat each other
With gentleness and kindness
God will take care
Of the rest
I promise

Take a deep breath
Let love inside
Feel the
Rush

What a beautiful surprise

Feel like your breathing again where
No one loses and everyone wins
No pushing and shoving just
Caring and loving

On your mark
Get ready
Get set
Go!

Let your love flow...

Your life story is your own
Different from mine, different from his, different from hers

Though our stories aren't the same
As our life journals that we write take different turns

Autobiographical
Individual experienced tales to tell

Your life notebook is special
Just as my life script is special, we are walking

Our footsteps both important
Together what we ink and what we print will shine

Your stories filled with moments
All their own and so are mine, not less important

Share with me your legends of
Your life, I will share with you the legends of mine

My miracle
The spherical
Beauty of blue skies
Swirling in your eyes
My pleasant surprise
A dream come true
A remarkable view
Courage drips
All over you

You make me want to
Drop my armor
Let it fall
Open the well
Undo the spell
Of insecurity
I have spun
A self imposed
Judas come undone
Unbelieving
There could be
One
A miracle
For me
In us

You are the last unicorn
You found me hiding
From myself
For better or for worse
You lifted the curse
White light
Ripping at my seams
How long have I been here?
A year or two my dear?
Perhaps longer...
It seems
I can feel myself
Getting
Stronger

I remember the days
I sat in a maze
A fog, a haze
Of my own disappointments
And all my own rage
Hate and anger
Had constructed
A cage
No one could get to
No, not even you
But you waited
You stayed
You listened
You prayed

No one knows exactly
How we feel
It's hard to believe
What someone says
Especially
The vulnerable and real
Oh how I could steal
Steal away into the night
Back into a corner
Of my own fright
A beautiful
Panic
A tragic
Manic
Episode
"Of nobody loves me!"
"Nobody's home!"
The lights are on
But where have I gone?

No pill could fulfill
What you give to me
The infinite promise
To believe in every
Attempt that I make
To get back up again

Beating ourselves up
Is a waste of time
If only to learn
How we can fly
And say goodbye
To behaviors
That will break
The spirit you have made
The soul that you created
My all, my everything
The thing I wake up for
To sing
You bring me joy
When all I have is pain
You taught me how
To dance in the rain
You taught me how
To climb a tree
To get away from
Anything
To fall in love
With nature
Like painted lightening
You truly are my savior
Always fighting
For my love

My miracle
The spherical
Beauty of blue skies
Swirling in your eyes
My pleasant surprise
A dream come true
A remarkable view
Courage drips
All over you

Watch how you inspire
Watch me leap
Watch me rocket
A blast of fire
Across the horizon
Write your name in the sky
He's Alive
Divine Mother
Grandfather Fire
Hold me while I cry
I cannot deny

Calling all angels
Saints of all religions
Gurus, Yogis
Masters of
The spiritual truth
Allah, Yahweh
Maker you soothe

Heal in us the
Mental abuse
The hurt of other people's views
The judgements that we did not choose
Finally
We'll call a truce

I believe in my heart
There is a place
Where God
Has filled
An empty
Space
I do not need
To see your face

I cannot explain
The feeling it gives
The SPIRIT LIVES
Your spirit IS

OUR miracle
The spherical
Beauty of blue skies
Swirling in your eyes
OUR pleasant surprise
A dream come true
A remarkable view
Your courage drips
All over you

Teacher, mentor, sage and chief
You empty out the hollow grief
Burglarize our desolation
In the night you are the thief
While we sleep
The Santa Clause
Of chimney sweeps
A vacuum for our agony
In everything that we believe
I feel your peace
Wash over me
Thank you
For keeping the faith
When I could not
Conceive
Thank you for
Forgiving me

My rock
Our foundation
The touchstone
Of relation

What marvelous miracles
You do weave
I am the miracle
You are to me

Child comforts mother
Both comfort one another
Time passes through
A backwards path into
A place where
She is there for you
And you are there for her

This child that she hath
Given life unto
This child, you
Sacrificing of her own
Freedom

As she will teach
And you will learn
To teach her too
As she taught you

To be her baby born
For it to mean so much
That she would give you
Life to touch

Between the two

Yes in this life
Discovered light
To shine so bright
A lovely power
Of self-being
Sharing
Ever
Baring
New

Together both are seeing
Together both are breathing
The essence of a truth only
Old age and youth
Build meaning
Up into

A celebration
Of creation
Mother and
Child

Every journey that I take
Every rule that I break
Every moment I create
In you with you
Reminds me of this place
That reminds me of your face

You are the light
At the end of my tunnel
The perfect mountain view
When I climb the slopes
Of our love
I can see
More than
I knew

My Kilimanjaro
My connection
To Christ
My spirit feels alive
When I look into
Your eyes

You are the mountain
My Yogananda
My tender Guru
My greatest crush
That accepts me as I am
You believe in God
You believe in Love
You believe in Friendship
You are the perfect
Mountain view

When I scale the rocks
Of our relationship
Rising with every step
My heart is left
With a feeling of
Completeness
Sweetness
Mother Divine
Has brought us
Together
To share, to ascend
To believe in God
To be my friend

You are the beginning and the end

When you are away
I climb this mountain
Everyday
Wind, snow or rain
Joy or pain
I can go to our mountain
Climbing to the top
This gorgeous point
Holding on to trees
With wings of grace and ease
And the Gods
Are pleased

Let friendship
Lead us to our
Mountain tops
Let Holy Spirit
Guide us there
Let everyone
Who reads these words
Feel the wind of love
Against his face
And in her hair
We are magic
We are flying
We are laughing
We are crying

In the end
No matter where you go
No matter how far
I will know
How to find you
Remind you of our
Friendship
Of our love

Meet me on our mountain top
Look at the stars
As they shoot across the sky
I'll be riding one
Or on a cloud
To meet you there
Waving you a smile
As I fly
You know where
Into your temple heart
On the mountain
Of our
God
Given
Love

If you know
The way I feel
If you feel my energy
You will know when I am near
Without looking you will hear
Me crash into the atmosphere
With the wings that Spirit gave us
To share

Meet me on our mountaintop
The one that reminds me of you
The place that we've found with the perfect view

Sitting on a star
On a comet
Or a gust of wind
So sharp
I will find you
I will find your temple heart
Invite the world
So that we can curl up
Into a blast of light
A spoon of love
Lighting up the heavens
Everywhere
With a love so bright
Every creature in sight
Will witness
Our forgiveness
In the air

Meet me on our mountain top
Look at the stars
As they shoot across the sky
I'll be riding one
Or on a cloud
To meet you there
Waving you a smile
As I fly
You know where
Into your temple heart
On the mountain
Of our
God
Given
Love

You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found

Listen, listen, listen
To your sound

O how marvelous you are
Like lightning against the sky
The music of your soul echoes
Against all of creation
Nature looks back at you
Her breeze is her hands
That comfort your anger
Her thunder is a smile
That soothes your pain
Her rain is there to
Teach you how to
Forgive yourself
Again and
Again

My sweet Music Box
You don't ever have to leave me
You will never forget how to sing
Like a bee on the seashore
Crawling towards the never ending ocean
The impossible salty sea
I will be here to guide you
Towards the light
Back to your life

Let me be your sonic boom
Let me be your favorite room
Let me wind your Music Box
So we can sing your
Favorite tune

You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found

Know this by heart and
Listen, listen, listen
To your sound

You are the Music Box that I designed
Sing along with me
Listen to our chime
Listen to our bell
Listen to the psalm
That together we unveil

We are the sheet music of ravens
Perched like notes on wires
Across the skies as the
Sunrise inspires
Our call

We run with the magic
Of a brilliant ballad
We vibrate
We shake
We earthquake
Through it all
In between rocks
We are meteors and comets
My Music Box
We rock and roll
In this canticle

We are the original
The golden oldie
Of the galaxy

Be my anthem
I'll be your hymn

Listen, listen, listen
To your sound again

You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found
You are the fire of a thousand choirs

You are the ecstasy
The Universe
Desires

Nature is ancient
It is in everything we see
It is the chair your sitting on
It is the air from which you breathe

Nature is paramount
It is the beginning of our climb
It is the mother of technology
It is the father of all time

Nature is nurturing
It is a gift from the eternal one
It is the moon and all the stars
It is the flames of our great sun

Nature is magnificent
It is the essence of our days
It is the dawning of our future
It is the child that we must raise

Nature is nourishing
It is in all the food we eat
It is in every song we sing
It is in every heart that beats

Nature is branches
It is the spirit of family
It is our sacred roots
It is the seed becoming tree

Nature is powerful
It is the storm under the sea
It is the whirlpool in the sky
It is the hand I'm offering

Nature is friendship
It is the promise that we keep
It is the colors that surround us
It is the bed in which we sleep

You call to me through your moonlight beams
You are in every stream
The river is your hair, the clouds your floating dreams

You call to me through your sand grain shores
You are both soft and coarse
The ocean is your tears, the tide your cosmic force

You call to me through your starlit skies
You are the twinkling guides
The lightening is your word, the comets your spark of life

You call to me through your trees
You are in every leaf
The branches are your arms, the roots your inner peace

You call to me through your flowers
You are petals filled with power
Pain lives in your rose thorns, the fragrance lasts for hours

You call to me through your sunlit rays
You shine throughout our days
Without you we are freezing, the light you shine does blaze

You call to me through your birds
You are the song I've heard
With wings of joy you flutter, the winds of love are stirred

You call to me through your rest
You always know what's best
I lay my head upon your lap, the answers are expressed

You call to me through your morning
You are what I'm adoring
I say good-night, I close my eyes, and feel my spirit soaring

Let me be your poltergeist
Haunt you with my love
If there is a Spirit between us
Let it be the Holy Ghost
Embracing you
Haunting you
Holding you
Above

Everything that scares you
Anything that’s hiding
Skeletons in your closet
Fear, anxiety,
The terror of life
Sometimes just
Going outside

Let me be your poltergeist
I will be here to protect you
I will shield you from the pain
I will wake up every morning
And do it all again

When nothing seems to feel secure
When the world is crashing down
When you cannot even be sure
Let me scare these things away from you
That want to hang around
Haunt your home with light
Shoot off stars at night
Blind the things you cannot face
Smudge them out
I will erase
Anything
You
Fear

Let me be your poltergeist
Haunt you with my love
If there is a Spirit between us
Let it be the Holy Ghost
Embracing you
Haunting you
Holding you
Above

As you begin to trust
As you begin to believe in us
You will know the power
Of true love
As I
Haunt away your sorrow
Scare what will depress
Chase away your panic
Frighten out the rest
Of anything that keeps you
From being the bright light
That you are
The
Beaming
Gorgeous
Burning
Beautiful
Star

Let us fly together
Spread our light
Spread our wings
Unfold our feathers
Cradle our silver linings
Soar into our sky
Together
There is no limit
To our height

Let me be your poltergeist
Haunt you with my love
If there is a Spirit between us
Let it be the Holy Ghost
Embracing you
Haunting you
Holding us
Above
