Faith
Now you must have God’s insurance
So no more illnesses and pain
You are my everyday occurrence
You live in the Elysian plain
I dream you standing by the door
Although I’m blinded by the sun
The sunny zigzags on the floor
Form the same patterns outrun
That special day may come if only
We stop to think about it
Too often, as it

Sharon
She sat by the window and could only ask herself why
Because she surely didn’t know even as hard as she did try
Things just suddenly fell apart with not even an end in sight
It all just broke her heart and became an insufferable plight
Days and weeks went by and soon months had passed
Now she didn’t

Flickering Light
I am a flickering light -
a little candle -
a dancing flame so happy to have been set alight!
But I am fragile, Father.
A sudden gust could blow me out.
A brief shower of rain.
A spiteful touch from cold fingers.
A swell of noxious pride at my own tiny mortal beauty.
So hold me very close, Father.
Shield me with your

Naive Faith
In the still of dawn, tears fall, heartbroken
Sorrows murmur of the past’s distant dread
Words won’t come and the fear goes unspoken
As my soul seeks, unsure of what’s ahead
My mind wanders to light I can soak in
Knowing my soul will read those things unsaid
Singing grace through the night’s quiet shadows
And tears play in the verses I

The Ultimate Goal
City light dazzles the eyes of man
But the spell of corruption has an iron hand
It blocks the truth and holds one down
Till chaos and confusion is only found
Children are born innocent and pure
Have no way out of the lure
Generations of greed, jealousy and pain
Create a state of living in vain
The universal law holds the key
The

Knowing Heart
There’s a knowing in your heart
There’s a kindness growing
There’s a truth right from the start
The vows you made are sowing
The seeds of goodness promise
A better way of life
The songs of promise mesmerize
The darkest depths of strife
Listen to your heart, listen to your soul
Let your true-nature guide you
Through the delusions of this world
Endure with kindness, clarity

Falun Dafa Will Prevail part 2
Millions of people from China’s homeland
Were shocked and torn that the Great Law was banned
They faithfully and peacefully pleaded for appeal
But Zemin was bound their beliefs he would steal
Great numbers of practitioners held tight to their beliefs
As they were beaten, brainwashed and tortured by police
Their suffering and pain were peacefully endured
The persecutors were baffled; but

Our Way Forward
There is one consciousness,
one source, never created
and ever creating from self.
We live in the being of God.
Created out of the substance
of God. All is God. There is
no other essence nor place
of existence. We inhale and
assimilate the immortal, eternal
realm of God. There is no
outside of God. Everything
is God. All potential,

An atheist on his deathbed
An atheist living soul was floating above on deathbed,
because if he touched it, he would leave this world.
He let the pain out and screamed through his dying soul.
A guy who was once drenched in every bit of gold
comes to him and says:
“I want to make a compromise with your soul and body—
I will save

Longing Faiths
Let our clear eyes gaze
at the rising moon on the
shores of the Sahara, let
the evening stars shine,
holding the skies in their
cosmic magnet, let the
tides cease their aggression
within the ocean, like the
brutish pain we feel as
we welcome and embrace
the oases of our longing

The Water of Life
O to bathe in some clear, crystal water
That would wash me as white as the snow!
Every blemish, disease, and disorder,
In its pureness would all have to go.
I would learn to relax in its stillness;
To its movements I'd learn to give in.
In its flow would be perfect contentment,
Far removed from commotion and din.
I would dive in
