From time to time I wonder
just where it is they're at
those who stopped to pick me up
to help me back on track.
I wonder if they realise
I wonder if they know
just what it is they mean to me
and how they helped me grow.
I've often stopped to wonder
if they have felt the love I send
to thank them for all they did
in helping me to mend.

the winds they gather
the lightening flash
thunder calls
spirit talks
forces hidden
unmasked unmasked
look beyond
your mortal shell
lifes illusion
a web you fear
let go
release release
follow the golden thread
angels portal
up ahead
push back doubts
follow through
awaken awaken
see the orb
the souls delight
touch it
feel it
its heavens light
just be just be

The sky is deep, the sky is dark .
The light of starts is so damn stark.
When I look up, I fill with fear.
If all we have is what lies here,
this lonely world ,this troubled place,
then cold dead stars and empty space...
Well I see no reason to persevere ,
no reason to laugh or shed a tear,
no reason to sleep or ever to wake ,
no promises to keep , and none to make .
And so at night I still raise my eyes ,
to study the clear but mysterious skies.
That arch above us, as cold as stone.
Are you there, God ? Are we alone ?

Although I'm gone for you to see,
look in the sky , in heaven i'll be .
I'll watch you from through the stars,
I want you to know I'm not that far .

Remember the memories that we share ,
cherish them , they seem so rare.
I know you miss me and your love for me is true,
always remember that I love you too.

Here in heaven we are one team ,
I'll be waiting for you,
but for now ...
I'll be in your dreams...

I Would ...

I'd fall a thousand times if I could feel your tender kiss.
One more time to hold you,
I'd float in an endless mist.
I'd climb the highest mountain,
if you I could just see.
I'd die the harshest deaths is once again we'd be.
I'd love an everlasting love and give my heart away ,
if you would cry and promise forever you would stay .
I'd forgive the greatest sin of all ,
and hold you in my dreams .
And never fear or doubt our love ,
or rip apart the seems.
I'd carry you through all eternity ,
and cherish all you are.
Your beauty will never end to me ,
just like a falling star .
I'd love and hold inside my heart the warmth of you and me ,
and never let our friendship end ,
or become a memory ..

Let Me !!

Let me be the one ,
you talk to one the phone.
Let me be the one ,
the one you call your own .

Let me show you things ,
you've never seen before.
Let me show you this ,
and show you so much more .

Let me kiss your lips ,
and look into your eyes .
Let me put an end ,
to all your lonely cries.

Let me touch your face,
and kiss away those tears.
Let me touch your heart ,
and wipe away your fears .

And after I have finished ,
and all is said and done .
If you feel the need to be loved ,
let me be the one ...!!!

I Wish

I wish you were here ,
here right now to share these moments ,
with me some how .

I wish I could see the look on your face ,
I wish you could be with me right now .
Right here in this place .

I wish I could hear the comment you'd make,
or even for a moment to see ,
the breath you woould take .

I wish I could hear you laugh full of cheer ,
I wish for a second to see,
your frightened eyes full of gear .

I wish everyday to see trials and your gladness,
or when someone hurts you ,
for you to express to me your sadness.

Of all the places in the world I wish you could be ,
right now in this lonely moment...
I need you right here with me ..!!

I Remember..

When I looked in your eyes,
I knew it was true .
My heart never lies ,
I was in love with you .

As you stood there,
just looking around.
My whole body melted ,
into the ground.

I remember the day,
I remember the time ,
I remember the place ,
It's always on my mind .

You looked so good,
in your shirt and jeans .
I remember that night ,
you were in my dreams .

I wish I could be with you day after day ,
because I love you more than words can ever say ..

First Heartbreak

The day that he walked out on me,
they said i'd been a fool,
I should have been much smarter then ,
I should have played it cool .

But I will not lock up my heart,
and through away the key.
A life without a chance to love,
is meaningless to me .

In time I will forget the pain ,
my heart will mend and then ,
the birds will sing, the sun will rise ,
and i will love again ...

I'll Never Be The One !!

I'll never be the one...
Who lies next to you at night .

I'll never be the one ...
you dance with and hold ever so tight.

I'll never be the one ...
who wipes the tears from your cheek.

I'll never be the one ...
that watches you as you sleep .

I'll never be the one ...
that you lan your future with .

I'll never be the one ...
that you greet with a kiss.

I'll never be the one ...
you walk with in the rain .

I'll never be the one ...
but, I'll love you just the same ..!!

Dreams

When you go to sleep at night,
dream that you are free.
Dream of all the things you want ,
things that are yet to be .

Dream that all your sorrow ,
has simply gona away .
Dream of a lonely night ,
that suddenly turns to day .

Dream of a world ,
free of all crime .
Dream of a love ,
that lasts through all time .

Take the time to dream ,
of a place you want to be .
Dream of all the things in life ,
that you never got to see .

Dream away your past ,
drive away your fear ,
Let the pain inside your heart ,
simply disappear .

Dream about the perfect life ,
the kind you've never known ,
and dream this perfect life ,
has no become your own .

Think of all the things in life,
that are never what they seem ,
and when you go to sleep at night ,
Dream the sweetest dream ...

Would You Cry ?

If something should happen ,
if i should die ,
I ask you this question :
Would you cry ?

If I should not awake ,
from along and peaceful sleep ,
answer this question :
Would you weep ?

Tell me your reactions ,
what would you say?
Would you be in tears ,
to this very day ?

Would your happiness and joy ,
suddenly turn to sorrow ?
Would it hurt you to know ,
that i'd have no tomorrow ?

If it were me ,
I'd surely cry ,
for i'd lost my chance,
for a final " goodbye ".

I'd want to tell you ,
" I'll miss you so much , "
I'd want to share with you,
one last gentel touch .

I would shed for you ,
my each and every tear .
And you would know that in my heart ,
my feelings are sincere.

So,now that you know ,
now that you can see,
I want to know ,
Would you shed a tear for me ?

Would you sincerely care ,
if I should suddenly die ?
And if it happened now ,
Tell me : Would you cry ?

Forget You Not !!

I will never forget ,
this month comes by with deep regret,
It brings back the day i cannot forget .
In my heart you will always stay ,
loved and remembered day after day .
Memories are treasures no one can steal ,
dearh is a heartache no one can heal .
Life must go on , I know its true,
but its not the same since I lost you .
You left me so quickly without a goodbye ,
memories of you will never die ,
memories of the times we shared ,
the smiles the laughs the way you cared .
If God could grant me just one thing to have you back my heart would sing .
I only hope you will always know ,
I miss you and I love you so ..

Sugar

My sugar coated life,
this candy apple hell.
I thought I knew forsure ,
the things I know so well .
This is much to sweet,
too drenched in happy pastels.

I yearn for so much more,
yet I'm trapped in these bright cells .
My weakness is my taste ,
I want more than I can have ,
but the more I try the less I want to continue on this path.

The sugar will decay,
the colors will fade out.
Maybe then and only then ,
will i feel free to roam about .
This picture perfect life,
the kind i should have known from the start.
Would soon lose its luster ,
and begin to fall apart ..

I marvel at the hand that guides us……weaving our lives together through the events of life.
Bringing together what once was and now is again. And now it brings what never was to what is now, and what will be.
God, I thank you for the gift. The answer to silent prayers spoken long ago.
I thank you for your perfect timing, and the grace you have given into our lives so that we might know the immeasurable Love and Light that can only come from you.
Thank you for the dream, and the courage to make it reality.
And most of all, Lord, thank you for being my friend, my Lord, and my Master.
You have given to us what so few have known, I will honor it with my life……and with my love.

And so it begins……….

The soul plays its song, weaving together life times. Like the steady rhythm of the tides of the ocean, it beats with purpose and clarity upon the shores of humanity. It is my song it sings with the voices of millions in a chorus that fills the universe with love. Slowly, powerfully as each soul joins the song it builds, changing what was before into what is now.

Never ending is the song and it becomes the song that shapes our world. With each note it matures into a crescendo that will fill the universe with its love. Joining all that have come before and all yet to be. We move ever closer to our purpose………

Lift your voices my brothers and sisters. Light up the world with your song of the soul and awaken to the love created just for you. With each note others awaken to the song of love and we are shown the power of Creation…………

And so it begins……………..

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to
be careful
be realistic
remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.

_THOUGHTS ON THE LORDS PRAYER _

You cannot say the Lords Prayer,
And even once say "I ",
You cannot pray the Lords Prayer,
And even once say "My",
Nor can you say the Lords Prayer,
And not pray for another.
For when you ask for daily bread,
You must include your brother.
For others are included,
In each and every plea,
From the beginning to the end of it,
It never once says ""ME""

A Life Search

It's four o'clock in the morning

As I lay here on the floor

There's emptiness in my heart

As I watch the fire glow

There's pain deep in my heart

As memories run through my mind

I wonder weather to forget you friend

And the heartache far behind

I look back through my mind

And all the good times gone before

But all I see is loneliness

As the tears fall to the floor

I wonder where I am heading

And what heartache I will find

But there's one thing I know for sure

Is loneliness is my friend

There's emptiness in my heart

And hollowness deep inside

For there is no one on this earth who can even compared

So once again I travel on

In search of that special friend

That someone with the heart of gold

That someone upon I can depend

Weather I'll find them I will never know

But I must keep on hoping

That this true friend will one day show

For without this kindred spirit in my life

My world will surely end

So I must keep on searching everywhere

For my friend with heart of gold

A spirit on which I can depend

I'll always help the less fortunate

As onwards I will go

And hope that my reward in life

Is my very special friend

Heartache and pain is all I've known

And I'm sure there's more to come

But all I ever wanted out of this world

Is a friend so true and strong

This world is not meant for my heart

For what I sense and feel is what keeps me strong

Hoping for my special friend

To help me carry on

My only consolation is that it's you

That I have finally found

So please be my special friend

No matter what you do

Never forget that a part of me

Will always be thinking of you

And if you are in any trouble

Or you need a helping hand

I'll pray to my father of this you can depend

And always try to remember

I am your one true friend...

KEEP ON SMILING

It’s hard to laugh when things go wrong,

It’s easy to lose heart.

But if you can keep on smiling,

It’s certainly a start,

Happiness seems far away

When days are long and sad,

But just as good times fade away,

So do all the bad,

Trouble always fades away

If you can grin and bear it,

But call me if it gets too much

And I’ll be there to share it.

Relationships will come and go

And loved ones will depart

People walk in and out of your life,

Friends leave

Footprints in your heart.

When it hurts to look back

And you're scared to look ahead,

You can look beside you

And your best friend will be there.
