oh
love
i
hear
every
beat
of
your heart
and
let
your
heart
sings out loud
with
every
beat of your heart

oh lord
every break of dawn
i
shall
see
the
sunrise
in
her jasmine green eyes
and
all
the
light
have not gone
through
her
sweet smile
lord
restoreth me again
every break of dawn

behold
the
glorious
peacock's plume
behold
one
thousand
eyes of glory
shall
bloom

to
my
tailor-made
and
dearest friend
that
we
are
both bookends
always
faithful
and
inseparable
until
the
very end

love
is
the
quiet
frost white
snowflake
parachuting
gently
to
the
ground
but
didn't
make
­a sound
through
the
aspines
and
the pines

red tail deer
trapped
in
the
lonely woods
near
gather in
while
saying
lord
deep
within
if
i could
fill
thy
cup
with
good

Cupped-hands blessed the first winter snow –
That tasted like peppermint wind

The pines and aspens share secrets,
As they whisper what they know

Then, they giggled like schoolchildren.
In the snowy playground – with the red
Brick schoolhouse off in the distance

Their cold faces blinked and blushed.d
Like a basket full of wild freckled strawberries

Suddenly, fresh pine cones fall to the ground;
They chuckle, laugh, and then roll over,
Exposing their innocent souls to a fresh blue sky,
This all appeared in the first winter's snow

This, I am sure, and still am

porcelain white face
of

and
close
her
Nakamichi

barn owl moon
you
belong
to
the
salmon
pink
sky
soon
thus
pulling
the
ghost strings
of
the
wild
goose wings
while
honking
your
horns
to
clear
the lanes

when
you
look
into
the
eyes
of
the
green monster
with
bloodshot eyes
and
a whiskey smile
and
it
is
only a reflection of me

only
when
our
souls
that
have fallen
from
the
heavenly
stars
are
to
meet
and
greet each other
near or far

the wind
and
the wheat
so
full of grace
to
receive sustenance
from Him
then
he
is my portion

only
through
thy
cupped hands
are
the
hidden
whispers
of
love

hope
is
the
fuel
that
runs
the
heart
on
its
journey
while
hope
moves
every heart
yes
hope understood
how
to play its part

love
is
that
moment of trust
when
love
is
how
we
hail first
that
same
love
teaches
us
how
to trust love

love
shall
play her part
that
love
runs toward
the
hungry heart
that
love
shall speak kindly

the
sweet hands of victory
shall
ring
the bell
while
the soul to keep
the
grave shall weep
the
voices from
the
depths of hell
said
we want ice water
because
it's hot as hell

oh lord there are so many
mountains for me to climb
if i still cry inside the line
yet I’ve turned over
every stone in my mind
yet some things are hard to find
we shall never know this time
when there are circles in my mind
yes the world is sublime
but if I still cry inside the line
oh lord when will I know
where there is to find
and maybe
the heart will sing next time
if i still cry inside the line

Your blackness
Boldness
Breathless
Timeless
Effortless
Togetherness
Lo­veliness
Oneness
Pure black
African queen
When the
Morning comes
As far as
The eyes
Can see
Black queen of the Nile
I give my love to thee

sometimes
in
life
you
have
get
down
upon
your
knees
and
pray
and
­put
God
in
your
life
everyday
then
ask
God for forgiveness
just
let
him know
that
you
will
serve and obey
and
follow
his word
i
just
wanna
thank
you lord
forevermore
amen

i
kissed him.
Jesus,
upon
his silent cheek—
cool as unturned stone—
pressed against my lips.

thus,
I betrayed him,
for thirty shekels of gold,
their cold weight heavy in my palm,
a silver chorus
that rang like nails against wood.

and to be crucified by Rome,
Oh yes,
I kissed a man.
His name broke in my throat,
a prayer I could not finish.
Yet I kissed a man.

Now, Silence fills the space
where his voice once breathed,
And I am alone,
the shadow of my cross
stretching far too wide.

upon
this
very day
in
the
land of Killarney
i
say
when
i
ask
thy
sweet
lassie
to
marry
me
upon
the
green hills
with
egg shell white
daffodils
along
the
way
so
that
we
could
fly
away
to
the
mo­on
i
say
among
the
stars
that
way
where
young loves
shall go
when
i ask
thy
sweet sassy so
yes
lord
i
know
within me

i
plucked
a
blueberry
thorn bird
from
a
sycamore
tree
who
sang
the
highest
note
for me
and
to
know
that
i
am
in
love again

the road to slavery shall die
this Profitable enterprise
so full of lies
someone's property or human chattel
chained in the belly of the slave ships,
side-by-side
chained by feet and chained by hands
where
the rights of men denied
Lord, we curse the vipers,
the maggots and the flies

autumn light
red-tailed deer
thus
joyful
courtship
yet
here
in
the
clearing

upon
the
universal canvas
behold
the
magnificent earth
a tiny blue dot
in
the
sea of tranquility
a grain of sand
upon
earth shores
resting
in
palm of
God's hand

autumn
beauty
sun flowers
bend
and
sway
but
bow
their
crowns
along
the
way
in
the
presence
of
God

behold
multiple
worlds
bubbling
out
from
the
quantum sea
thus
alien
worlds
without end
i
search
for thee

we
witness
dolphins
seahorses
and
starfish
navigating
behind
the
­dark wine sea
mermaid
approaching
the
sandy black shores
of
the
timeless
island of stone

on
the
trail of love
to
stay alive
from
a
pack of wolves
that
howl and cry
oh
lord
i
know
that
i
will survive

lord
today
i have
something
to say
i
have
joy
in
my heart
and
i
just
want to sing
unto
you
with
all
of
my precious heart
lord
you
are
my
daily bread
only
you
have
the
power
through
faith
i
cherish the day
while
joy
fills
my
whole heart

faithful captain
and
lord
you
are
thy
ship of faith
blow
your
holy
words
into
thy
vessel soul
for
i
am
your
servant
thus
wanting
to
sail
into
your
Kingdom­ of Glory

Shattered moon, don’t cry
Thy will be done
The lord will let you
Fill this sky and teach
This heaven
How to multiply
Lord, fill this sky

Lord this boy is bright
as a ten-watt lightbulb
well, he needs some home-schooling
to properly integrate himself
into our society
Lord, don't send this boy to hell
take the gun out of his hands
please give this boy a chance
Oh Lord, don't let him drink
from the poison well
just because he wants to be a man

Lord you
Move the
Wave of oceans
Move these clouds away
Move heaven and earth
Light up this orange-paper sky
Move this Celtic green air
Lord, I want us to share

love
crafts
her candle
that
burns
at
both ends
yet
ignites
the
heart
while
casting
dust
in
the wind

love
is
the
planted
tree
both
you
and
me
thus
someone
to
know
a
p­lace
for
our
love
to
grow
oh
love
give
me
my
protion

love
is
when
honesty
breaks
open
the
egg shell
heart
just
because
love
is
honesty

surely
there
comes
a
time
when
love
speaks
so soft
and
gently
where
love
is kind
thus
no
more
loneliness
to
unwind
when
love speaks
gently
then
i
shall
find
that
love
is
kind

i
knew
it
from
the
start
that
only
love
shall
quarry
the
heart
oh­
love
what
is
your quarry

your
sunlit
smile
just
waiting
for
the
crack of dawn
that
love
takes
a
while

love
is
the
fire
inside
your
tender smile
while
the
hidden
desire
rest
inside
your
soul
where
love
tu­rns
dust
into gold

the
green
dragontail
moth
with
her
wings
that
flutters
through
th­e
air
yet
made of cloth
is
God's creation

Miguel, bring me a glass
of your best wine
underneath
the Mexican moon,
in the twilight,
We shall fight the
Windmill dragons of Spain

ride
chariot ride
hurl
your
chariot across
the
desert moon sky
thus
we ride
lord
give
us
sustenance
to
pray
that
we
shall
have miles to go
before
we
get
to
the
Land of Jerocho

Liquid Moon,
You do not
Have to
Behave tonight
We are alone
Between this
Heaven and earth
Let these golden wings
Of love, take their maiden flight
Moon, are we alone

morning moon
raises
above
the
desert bloom
and
young
lovers
shall
get
here soon
please
stay here
dawn
of
the
morning moon

You are my glass
of vintage wine
and your sweetness
quenches my thirst


You are my sustenance
the daily bread that
feeds my heart, mind,
and soul


You are my illumination
radiant and burning bright,
the enlightenment
that attracts me

No more can be said
now and forever
You are my sweetness,
my light, my daily bread
