WARNER BAXTER

WARNER BAXTER Dec 2013

timeless, at once, a memory of long ago
   born from heaven, to earth, a new life to grow
   first of clay, then from ocean spray
   and wrapped in God's own DNA

   miracle of life, perfect pure so innocent and new
   divine dominion, planet Earth in shades of
   red, green but mostly sky blue

   yet far beyond colors and shades in
   God's Amusement Park
   lies a network of tones and sounds
   and these lyrics of life change after dark

   Heaven and Earth and Life, so symphony pure
   conducted by God's hand so divinely sure

   yet many believe an exploding star
   is why we are         HOW BAZZAR

   God made us who we are
   promised his Son he would send
   so when you watch me rise up to heaven
   your exploding star, is how it will end

Sunsets in My Mind

the sun sets in my mind
never to arise
for darkness soothes the glaring light
that carries all the lies
and in the place where I sleep
I come alive in my dreams
never wishing to awake
stitched in threads of reality seams

so let the sun rise
steadfast and so sublime
just let me sleep so I can dream
of sunsets in my mind

Lavender Eyes

To be behind a slight disguise
behind those liquid lavender eyes

Long search hard to find
a special soul nothing unkind

A feeling strong a heart that's true
but wait, I think they're deep deep blue

I stare into a certain fate
I feel the pulse with quickened gate

Into those eyes I do fall
spirit image and magic call

I an certain this is no illusion
wonderful real no confusion

Lavender eyes forever together
sharing time with my beautiful feather

Lavender eyes no disguise
I gaze into those Lavender Eyes
