Against The Wind, My Reward Now



That was my time so long ago
my hat was always in the show
Running, ever against the wind
more enemies than ever friend

Remembering yesterdays so well
the hot nights deep into Hell
O' so many darlings kept me fed
never saw my life was so...

When two people so choose
To join as one
The primary requirement is
Decide to love the beloved.

Then, as happens in love
Two become one in all things
Exclusive, self giving
especially sexually.

And in so doing
The love grows in togetherness
Open to children, raising them
A reward of their uniting.

But what now if...

Who threw water on the wick?
Who, as restless and trapped
can survive in this necropolis?
Trumpeting down the walls
that are not of Jericho.
Trumpeting down the walls
that besiege a chthonic people.

Tonight I shall return as a black dove
to bring you an oak tree branch from Dodona
And a darkness...

Soldiers fight for their country,
they try to protect millions of people.
Again, nowadays slaves for no reason shooting enemies or brothers in the darkness.
They feel like heroes when they go, they feel empty when they come back, if they have that chance.
Injured souls forever, phoenix birds...

Walking through the
cold city 
    A man seeks 
warmth 
    All the stores are 
closed now
   The air is bitter and 
the wind cuts him 
   like a knife
He walks down 
   a...

A butterfly with wings frail
Rises heavenward against the wind
Witnessing life’s conflicting direction
Floating constantly upward
What chrysalis owned you?
How solitary is your world?
Alone each day
A silent, windless end
Fly, butterfly, fly!
Why accept this knowing
You can soar out of the rain
Into the sunny world
Of Love...

I stumble as I move forward.
I cautiously attempt to turn around.
I am not sure if I am going away from or toward.
Uncertain of what direction I am bound.

Do I have to always move ahead?
Isn't it enough that I move at all?
I could lag far behind,...

Embracing indecision,
abandonment confronts you

My branches sharp and pointed,
my roots all buried deep

I pity your reluctance,
as the forest casts you lonely

A single tree in meadows vast
—alone against the wind

The treasure inside of you
Must come out through the evolution of pressure!
Kites rise highest against the wind—not with it!
The gift of hope is in pressure!
Humans have the ability to cope
Holding on to the rope of certainty is a matter of faith!

Let your life not fear...

Riding in town, against the wind, windows open, a beautiful day
Clear skies and mountain views, along my traveled way
I think of many years in life, riding against the wind so strong
Making my way through things that happened to go wrong
I always kept on trying, as...

S-ail against the wind, 
T-hough the weather is vile; 
E-very wave rocks the boat, 
P-ouring rain goes extra mile.
H-ave to sail against the wind, 
A-s the sea seems so rough; 
N-ot for a moment you let
Y-our heart faint, staying tough.

G-o sail against the wind
A-t dawn...

Drift Against The Wind


Fruit for the soul 
The fountain empties into the stream 
Roaring with majesty 
Glorious is the water that runs deep
Into the spring and 
Drift against the wind 
With mighty angel wings
Stretched out gracing the sky 
Like a kite taking 
Its course upon...
