Yes to the reminder that we are just part of the universe
One verse
In a song
So long
It does not belong
To Anyone
Or any part
Though it rests in every heart
In its wholeness
The caress
Of the winds and rains of Pele
Left me
Deeply touched, moved
New grooves
Cut in my consciousness
The caress
Of a gift arriving I have always had but never known
Worlds blown
Apart and re-sown
Always connected and …

Stepping up to voice
My choice
To let it go
The flow
Is beyond control
So when you fall
Roll
Then rise
Open your eyes
See the fresh horizon
Great eastern sun risin’
Resplendent
Transcendent
Heaven sent
An extension
To the new dimension
The fourth perspective
Reflective
Of the so far unseen
Subtle being
The place from which Gandalf and Arthur ride
Where secret valleys hide
Where Isaiah spoke messiah
The second coming is the inner fire
Walkin’ …

This is about the cravin’
for savin’
Wanting to control the rampant misbehavin’
Breaking the shackles of all the enslavin’
Break it down
Gather round
Cause we messin’ up the earth
Tearing up the turf
The place is our birth
Right
Someone turn on the light
Cause we all fightin’
In the dark
Thinking we be Clark
Kent
Heaven sent
To do it our way
I got news
I just gotta say
There is a master plan
Listen …

I’m tired
Of hearing how beings are wired
For self – destruction
The media barrage
Creating a collage
Of war
Environmental collapse by human cause
War on terror
The evening news documenting constant human error
Reporting the social fabric unwinding
Blinding
Us to our innate
State
Of being fine
I believe every human is divine
The gods we search and serve
Reside in us
And in this earth
There is no curse
Of Adam and Eve
We just …

“we wakin’” up all the time
I’m wakin’ up as I sit here and rhyme,
when i get lost in the flow of a river
feel a cold shiver
notice the clouds gather on a stormy day
feel sadness as one I love passes away
see a huge vista from a mountain top
and stop and bing!
my heart begins to sing
and I know I’m here for a reason
to ignore this inner voice is my treason…

I just read about the coming of the ice age
Earth’s rage
The mighty mother, the sage,
Turning another page
Of evolution
A natural solution
The vibration
Of creation
Melting ice caps into the gulf stream flows
The European heating system blows
Beyond repair
My mother, father, sister, brother live there
Stop, bear witness, take a long good stare
Digest our reality and start to care
The planet is movin’ on
We all be livin’ in the final …

I feel that our divisions point to our unity
The pieces that we uniquely
Most search for in our lives
Are our path
Each of us seeking that which will heal us
Bring us back into wholeness
And that is different for everyone
Under the moon and the sun
That is why it has so many names
Labels and claims
In so many cultures and to so many people
The particular thirst we have for fulfillment is unique …

Finding my feet
And already meeting
The slowness of this soil
This land
Which so much has passed over
A Blessing
No messin’
A Blessing
To have been bypassed
By the viral Rampage
Swallowing up my homelands
My Childhood lands
Which are wallowing in quicksands
Wild-life dissappearing
Wilderness becoming parks
Peoples wild side crushed – or called an illness
The digestion congestion
Of people, ideas, worlds
Trying to be controlled
Filling up a bottleneck
No room for breath …
