Premium Member Guiding Star O'Er Washington
I pray a  bright star will shine in the air

    O'er Washington to guide some wise men there

        Bringing gifts of commonsense

            And harmony to dispense

       ...

Guiding Star (MJH 8/28/15 lyric)

We’ve gotta take it slow,
Remember who we are,
Live up to what we know,
Follow our guiding star.

We need to take a stand
Against the dark we see;
Extend a helping hand,
Help set our brothers free.

Following shadows on the ground,
They can’t look up ‘cause they’re beaten down.
If they’d just look to their guiding star,
They might...

Splashing, thrashing, wildly crashing
     rages the rolling sea 
like a half-tortured serpent swirled 
     in waves of misery!

Through this tempest and angry night,
     a vessel from afar
sails by the dim, faint, speckled glow 
     of heaven's compass star....

Guiding Star
I thank my teachers
For being my Guiding Star –
Helping me learn something new,
By the hour….
Teaching me that 
Learning is the order of the day, Showing me how
An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

My teachers taught me
To add and to subtract
They also taught
That the Golden Ages are a fact,
That Einstein and Newton
Brewed up Inventions
And Studying...

My Guiding Star
She was a lamp of light unto me:
The light was a guiding star,
Full of love and affection.
I dwelled in the warmth of the light.
She fed me and I grew with her thoughts,
She sowed the seed of virtues in me
And watered it day in and day out. 
She taught me knowledge and wisdom.
The light shone in...

Guiding Star
I cried aloud into the night as I sat before the grave
Seeking holy answers for the son I could not save

Asking the Lord to light the way
Keeping my journey from going astray

I told him of my burdens and the sadness in my heart
I’d never felt so alone or so very far apart

Why did you take...

Guiding Star
How can one explain being so far
And so damn close as if together?
You're a distant shining guiding star
That encompasses me forever. 

Yes it's silly but what can you do?
At least I found you, my dear soulmate!
You work real hard but what do I do? -
I play with rhymes and images create....

Guiding Star
G-uiding star January twenty-fourth
U-ses its light to find the way; 
I-t shows the ultimate truth, 
A-s the night turns into day.

Y-our mind will be opened, 
A-nd your eyes shall be brighter; 
P-ristine words of wisdom are the tools of the guiding star....

Soulmates
I had never been able to attribute
A face to my soulmate
My guiding star to a better being and self
With whom I can be myself
Awaken my inner child
Be vulnerable and wild
Without fear of retribution or judgement
Twin flames ignited by a cosmic bond
That transcends human comprehension or sense
A platonic connection between two best friends
Kindred spirits fated to...

Premium Member Through Cosmic Dust, a Guiding Star
In the nebula of your spirit's vast despair, 
When asteroid fields of sorrow wildly flare, 
Stand like a celestial beacon, constant and bright— 
Let your laughter be the starlight that conquers night.

Though cosmic clouds may swirl, a dense eclipse, 
Your radiance can pierce the dark abyss's lips. 
For every void surrenders to a solar birth,...

A Guiding Star
A beacon bright, her love's embrace,
A soothing balm, a gentle grace.
Through darkest nights, a guiding star,
Her love, a shield, protecting far.

A gentle hand, a guiding light,
She leads me through the darkest night.
Her wisdom whispers, soft and clear,
Dispelling fears, chasing away despair.

Her voice, a song, a sweet refrain,
A melody that calms the pain.
With open arms, she...
