In sync with exorcising
An inner restlessness
Up on winds, runner's, biker's
Soul-freed who'll then confess.
the dog looked hopeful, and wanted the nod
His owner gave it gladly to his sidekick Todd
Todd ran off in the rain, jumping high with glee
Throwing loads of water up on his knee
Happy they were, two kindred folks, in sync you see
Sometimes I want to see you
Just see you walking by
Sometimes the streaming's not enough
I need to see you with my eyes
Like now I'm sitting by myself
I really want you here
Just to be and talk with
Just to know that you are near
The time, it passes slowly
I only see you now and then
But in a flash it's gone so fast
And then I'm missing you again
I know there's so much to you
Much more than you let see
Far deeper than feelings dictate
You resonate with me
my yearning afire
a deepest desire
I pray and aspire
could I but inspire
the one I admire
we both perceive
come to believe
never to leave
or to deceive
together
we weather
forever
I do
love you
true
Two souls mixed in tunes,
Rippling chords in harmony,
Strumming the same song.
Rhythmic love notes,
Vibrating flames of passion,
In synced hearts of pair,
We sing vows of love,
Pitching notes of high and low,
Not to bounce off key.
Enthusiasm paraded out pores fingers
Prancing into the world with a soul of its own
Excitement was generated at various places
The heart in sync with the soul, spiritual happiness
There was a quickening, an all knowing, an inner peace
But more than that,
There was life, love, and purity of purpose
Which lasted through the plane of earth existence
Absolute sheer utter wolf howling life
Because the spirit understood she was invincible
She could not be squelched or killed
She had existed before, and she would exist eons after
This earth body turned to dust
robins frolic leaves
swishing branch woodpecker beats-
rabbit hops in sync

Our World In Sync
We all dream of peace on earth...a lasting peace
when all wars no longer threaten, cease.
To live sounder lives, and drink
to a strengthened link:
all, from birth,
sync
with our earth;
live more kindly, think
how unrest and fear will shrink
when our hopes for brotherhood increase.
We all dream of peace on Earth...a lasting peace.

First and Last Line Must Be The Same
She had everything taken away from her
Then they stripped her of her pride
She lost her friends when most in need
No one stood by her side
Her haven was to sit by the beach
They had left her that mistakenly
Not knowing she would recharge
So they had failed unknowingly
Not succeeding in totally breaking her spirit
‘Cause she would mend and regenerate
In sync with the healing heartbeat of the sea
She would be back ready to retaliate
To take a stand with more resolve
It was her mission and her fate

If you could read between the lines
My heart holds as my bars
You'd see that I am trapped
And needing a new start
Can you release me from these chains
So I can be free to love again
I long for you and our heart's new tune
To be in sync and in love with you
In married life, I really think
It helps a lot to be in sync
For if your wavelengths seem to match,
There won't be holes you'll have to patch.
Your lifestyle choices should agree
Though even that won't guarantee
Smooth sailing in the years ahead
(Which most expect when they are wed).
When differences at times appear
And one of you've slipped out of gear,
You've got to find a middle place
Which both of you will then embrace.
For big decisions must be shared;
Together, then, you'll be prepared
To face the future as a team.
(It's not as hard as it may seem.)
AT-ONE-MENT
Vision takes form in saving grace;
Observe and see the pathway light;
Invoke bright norms to touch your face;
Cheer greets beauty in happy sights;
Enjoy the rhymes that reason makes.
Align your heart with soul and mind;
Truth anchors time beyond all fakes;
Outline bold start as focus finds;
Now frames the quest of adventure;
Endow fond sight with grace that sums;
Meet wit and jest in sure tenure;
Enthuse the light with grand outcomes;
Note words of praise that fund fond feel;
Trust helps to raise feelings that heal.

Align your heart, align your soul;
Be of good cheer, be of fine wit;
Choice seeds the start, choice forms the whole;
Deed marks things clear, deed primes sure hits;
Embrace true art, embrace your goal!
Feel words that spark, feel love that flows;
Give love fond reach, give joy fine play;
Hear voice find mark, hear thoughts spin glow;
Image fond niche, image sound stay;
Join precious arc, join fancy slow.
Keep joy in mind, keep love in sight;
Learn how you learn, learn why you feel;
Meet what you find, meet peace you light;
Now you can earn, now you can heal;
Offer a sign, offer a might.
Pledge to be true, pledge to be free;
Quest sparks the pace, quest paves the way;
Roar as you do, roar as you see;
Sense your fine space, sense your fond play;
Truth lives in you, truth comes to be.
Urge follows zest, urge reveals grace;
Vet all you write, vet all you say;
Words work to bless, words form pure space;
eXplore and cite, explore and pay;
Yes you address, yes you embrace;
Zeal floods bold rites, zeal flings kind ways.

If you’re part of a couple
Together for years
And your marriage is not on the blink,
You’ve lasted through trials
And troubles and tears,
So you’re closer than others might think.
You may not agree all the time
With what’s said,
But you hold yourselves back from the brink,
‘Cause together you’ll tackle
Whatever’s ahead,
With the strength of longevity’s link.
If this picture applies
And you’ve made it so long,
You don’t need the advice of a shrink,
For united you’ll face the world
Doubly strong,
By the virtue of being in sync.
One minute, one hour or a night
Whatever the time
A connection is made
You know it because you feel it
No question or deny
I feel so good inside
Like I glow
Nowhere to hide
Impossible to be blind
Of how you make me feel
You wake me from a slumber
Make me feel alive
Excite my mind
Like lines and notes meet
Harmonising so sweet
Sounds sublime
Friends forever
or both friends & lovers to be
They enjoy each other's company
No facade or hidden layers
Just free to be themselves
No better place to be
Such a life treat
Whether short and sweet
Over time or forever
Once connected
Seek each other out
They are an opportunity
For something special
Two people who feel in sync
Somehow can't live without
Connection complete
