This thing called "love"
Has the power to change you,
Make you persevere to the end,
Take you up, around, then back again.
Love has the power to
Make you re-define your very soul,
Drive you crazy if you let it, or
Bring everything under control.
True love is not a game,
Stemming from the trenches of the heart.
Love is something real,
Worthy of the highest honor,
Magnifying, dignifying, and empowering
All who embrace its ways,
Healing even the deepest wounds,
Collecting the pieces of a broken heart,
Fortifying and solidifying it like a stone wall
Even the woes of life will never pierce.
This thing called "love"—
Value it, treasure it, give its honor.
True love rarely shows its face
Amid this bedarkened world.
Never again may you get the chance to experience
The power of love.

Watercolor Cat, Watercolor Cat,
You are the most wonderful Watercolor Cat I have ever could dream about,
And I wonder, my friend Watercolor Cat, and admire you perplexed and mesmerized,
Tell me, how you know and how you do that you stand up straight and mastered this dignifying posture,
Like a masterpiece,
And these yellow eyes, like sunflowers, while sitting on a such big stone, on a such long road
When you are not a red cat, or white, and not even lost, but
Just an easy touch of lilacs that comes with the sunrise and leaves at sunset on the shores of volga,
My friend, Watercolor Cat, when I see you standing up like this with all your pride, sharp years, and flying tail,
You suddenly are the most blue-yellow cat in the sky, like you swallowed the sun with your wondering eyes.
Why do you wonder my dear friend, watercat, why do you wonder and look like you are waiting for something wonderful to happen.

Love without libido,
noble feeling cultivated and activated
that is amalgamated in divine friendship,
dignifying the human condition,,,
Rising to spiritual brotherhood status!

Done with this game of emotional roulette
Been spinning this wheel quite long enough
It's time for some strategy in this old hat routine
And your cold heart needs a bit of tough love
Go on, browse my silent moves all you want
I'll take your guilty conscience for a little spin
This heart's been hurt once too many times
But it's a sure bet I won't be giving in
The result may be an outcome unexpected
With tables turned, I'll be calling the shots
In dignifying my self-worth and self-respect
Perhaps you'll be speechless, even shocked
A loving transformation is about to birth
And this cry baby ain't shedding no tears no more!
Through the pain, she has gained perspective
And her outlook will soon be restored

Noble beauty the landscape embraces
Dignifying these mountain faces
Trembling water begins to ripple
Through this divinely painted oasis
Off in the distance an eagle takes flight
Circling left then gliding right
Dipping down to catch and feed
Soaring into the broad daylight
Nature's majesty here is so rare
Bejeweled shards of crisp,clean air
Breathe in deeply and heal your soul
In this magnificence lose all care

Footsteps echo in the hollow hallway
around the old cavernous cathedral
making the silence much too deafening.
The tall candle's faintly flickering flame
proves too confined, too feeble to brighten
the indigo darkness all around it.
Tonight, the hard, wooden kneeler torments
my knees, but strangely somehow dignifies,
reassures the core of the core of me.

Neither for majesty
of erudite loquacity
nor for elegance
of literary superiority
does he deeply crave
to gain mundane popularity;
but truly gifted he is
with the eloquence of silence,
the dignifying humility
and grateful reverence,
the persuasive power
of quiet truth, his best defense.

Break and wind
the ribbons through your velvet hair
leveling the light
from moonless shadowed smiles
For all tonight will
know you for your voice
and call you for your
wisdom broken bare
while dignifying moons to velvet miles
Stare the stars
until they mirror metal eyes
dance about in tears
from oblique circumstances
For all tonight will
find you in their heart
and know you for the way
you simply care
it's this which even stars above entrances.

People of the world unite,
We need to work in harmony.
And although we have our differences,
We can still have unity.
In a world that is at war,
We must create a place,
That people who seek peace,
Can call their sacred space.
For now is the time to realize,
That if we truly believe,
That our differences can be dignifying,
And peace can be achieved.
And of course there will be troubles,
That we must face each day.
But hand in hand we will stand,
And carry on along our way.
We will shower the world with love,
And erase all of the pain.
We will bring dark nations sunshine,
To evaporate their rain.
Wake up! Wake up! It’s time to leave!
It is time for us to go!
It is time for us to start our journey,
And give the world a show.
People of the world unite,
We need to work in harmony.
And although we have our differences,
We can still have unity.
