Inspiration is all around me. It swirles in the midst of darkness and deceit.
Blinded by dry tears...the deliverers of this blessed word find me when I know not what to look for or where...
I and my kind walk in circles looking for and end to pain, deceit, betrayal, unlove, uncareing. We are looking...but not invane.
When the circles we walk in seem endless take heart and know that it is not a downward spiral... Keep looking and you will see...

BATHING IN THE SUN
BASKING IN THE BREASES
GONE ARE THE TORMENTS AND THE TEASES
SO FREE SO DUMB
"THE PEACE THAT PASSES ALL HEMAN UNDERSTANDING"
I STAND UNDER PEACE

I AM SO ALIVE,,,,RIGHT NOW
IN TWO WORLDS,,,,RIGHT NOW
NO BOILS NO SORES
JUST SUN AND FUN
NO PAIN JUST GAIN
A SONG,,,,RIGHT NOW
NOTHING'S WRONG,,,,RIGHT NOW

IRONIC IS THIS TALE
ABOUT FREEDOM
ANALIZE THE TERM "FREEDOM"
AND ONE CAN CONCLUDE
THAT FREEDOM IS BORN OUT OF PAIN
AS ONE COMES PAINFULLY FROM THE CONFINES OF THE WOMB
WARS ARE FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM
WARS ARE PAINFUL WHILE WARS ARE WAGED
ALL FREEDOM IS BORN FROM PAIN
I THEREFORE ACCEPT THE PAIN AND THE FREEDOM

DIGGING FOR TRUTH
IS A HARD THING TO DO
YET ONCE IT'S DONE
WALK IN THE SUN
DOING THE HARD THING
OFT TIMES IS AVOIDED
DEFINATELY POSTPONED
MANY OBSTICALES MAY PUT ONE BACK
BACK IN THE DARK
OF TEARFUL
FEARFUL NIGHTS
NIGHTS FULL OF DRY TEARS
THE DAYS CANNOT FILL THE YEARS
ONE THINKS DEATH MUST COME
SO FIND THE TRUTH FOR A BATTLE WON
PAINFUL YES
YET ONLY IN THE LOSING
HEARTS DON'T REALLY BREAK
HEARTS TAKE A LOT OF BRUSING

COME TO ME
OH YOU ARE MY GOD
WHAT SEEMS SO IMPOSSIBLE IN A DECAYING WORLD
IS NOTHING TO YOU
YOU DEWELL ACORINGLY ABOVE THE BROKEN
MY BROKEN HEART
AND NOW - I KIN TO HEAVEN
I KNOW MY ONLY COMFORT IS YOU
YOU WHO HAVE REVEALED YOUSELF TO ME
STEADY ME
ENCOURAGE ME
LET ME NOT BE BOUND BY NAY SAYERS
LET ME NOT LISTEN TO
TWISTED LIES
DECEIT
BETRAYALS
MURDEROUS ACTS
I WILLINGLY BEAR THE CROSS OF JESUS
AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND THROUGH DOING SO
I HAVE REASONED THAT JESUS DIED SO WE NEED NOT
YOUR SPIRIT - OH LORD
IS MY ONLY LEAD
I CAN ONLY RESPOND
I MUST KEEP FAITH IN YOU ABOVE ALL ELSE
AND NOT IN THE FAMILIAL WORLD
BUT ONLY YOU AND THE ANGELS YOU HAVE SENT
TO PROTECT ME
AND TO DECERN FOR ME GOOD FROM EVIL
AFTER COMING THROUGH A DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL
TO THE INDIGO SKY WITH A CLEAR HEART
I AWAIT THE NEW DAWN
THEN THE RISING SUN IN WHICH BRINGS YOUR WARMTH
AND STRENGTH FOR A NEW BATTLE
I CAN BELIEVE YOU - YOUR SON - YOUR SPIRIT
WATCH OVER ME
NOW AS IN THE BEGINNING
IS NOW
AND FOREVER
AND FOR ALWAYS
ALL HONOR AND GLORY BELONGS TO YOU
I WANT TO BE ON THE EDGE OF GLORY
AS THE EDGE OF A COIN IN THE THREE DEMENTIAL WORLD
HOLY TRINITY COME

To see the future one must first listen to the past
One cannot fear the past
One must face it
One cannot fear the future
One must courageously face it'
One cannot fear the present
One must not mask it

WORDS ONCE SPOKEN - ONCE SUNG
ARE WRITTEN ON THE WIND
THEY FLY FROM PLACE TO PLACE
ALL OVER THE EARTH - FINE GREEN
IF I COULD PUT COLOR TO THE WIND
THEIR DISTANCE I COULD TRACE
I NEED NOT EARS
IF I COULD SOUND AMPLIFY
I NEED NOT EYES
ONLY THE BREEZE WIND OR GALE'I WOULD NEED TO TURN THE TALE
FOR ALL THREE ON MY SKIN WOULD BE TOUCHED
STAGNANT STENCH WOULD ALL THIS BE
UNLESS I COULD SMELL THE WIND IN THE TREES
OR FLOATING IN FROM THE SEVEN SEAS
AND RISING UP TO SNOW CAPPED PEAKS
I WANT TO PUT COLOR TO THE WIND AND THE SKY AND THE SEA

ODE TO BE READ
ONCE UPON A TIME
BEFORE TIME
WRITTEN BY THE STARS
FOR HEARTS ENTWINED
BEFORE HEARTS DID BEAT
THERE WERE TWO WHO FELT THE HEAT
THAT IS THE MOMENT OF THE FIRST BEAT
BEAT SO STRONG
IT WILL NOT STOP
IT WILL NOT BE DENIED
IT IS IN THE AIR
CARRIED BY THE WIND AND CAPTURED SO FINE
HEAR THE DRUM OF THE STRETCHED SKIN
OVER THE ROUND HOLLOWED OUT CIRCULAR SOFT BONE WITH AN AGE OLD PATINA
SO FINE
SO SOFT
IN THE MIDST OF A ROUGH COURSE CHAOS OF EARTHLY DECADENT DECAY
THE ESSENCE OF AMORE BEATS ETERNAL
