Awaken in the Dark My Love Father’s Light Shines On You
You whom are purposefully hued, beloved
Our Father’s light shines on you
Beautiful the light that shines through your eyes
Awaken in the dark my love Father’s light
Shines bright on you
You whom are His daughter viewed
Blessed voiced silver cord
Beautiful eyes melatonin
From your soul to your mouth hallelujah
Your heart ushers beautiful sounds of Jubilee
Your heart ushers beautiful sounds of Jubilee
Covered by the Father rested in his arms
Awakening in the dark my love
Awakening in the dark my love
Our Father’s light shines on you

She’s young
Outshines the sun
More beautiful than anyone
She speaks her mind
Never on time
Somehow she likes my rhymes
She’s so damn smart
Owns this old heart
And struggles with where to start
She works real hard
Keeps up her guard
Cause she’s wounded with scars
She’s not gonna quit
Won’t never submit
Cause my granddaughter is totally legit

Morning breaks in upon my bed
welcome thoughts stir this sleepy head
banishing fear, dismissing dread.
Summoning sparkles in my eyes,
on waking up, daybreak supplies
hope-filled words, "Look to the skies!"
And I thank Jesus as I rise.
He hears the prayers I pray each night.
My Savior dawns with strength and light.
I love you Lord with all my might;
I trust you, God and your insight.

A light still shinesEndless hopes and endless dreams,
That were shattered all in once,
In agony and pain my brain screams,
Your life shall stay in utter ruins.
Amidst the path shrouded in mist,
My heart stays and still insists,
"The flames may flicker,but not get ceased,
The darkness will fade and pain will get eased."
My heart and mind two world's apart,
Fight a battle between what feels true and what's right
But I choose to believe that; A light still shines ethereal and bright.

For me, you are my shining star ??
Brightening my world, no matter how far.
For me, you are the cold, soft breeze,
That sends sweet shivers with effortless ease.
For me, you are the breath I take,
Without you, my soul would break.
I'm not unwell—I'm just lost in you,
So deep that I see and feel nothing new.
I know sometimes I irritate you a lot,
But believe me, in front of you, I forget every thought,
Only remembering that I love you a lot.
My mind stops, my words fade,
The world blurs, like a dream unsaid.
I walk with wisdom, mature and wise,
But before you, all of it dies.
I forget what to say, what to do,
Lost in your eyes, lost in you.
I care for you as if you were my own child,
Wishing to protect you—gentle and mild.
Like the moon watches over the night,
I long to be your calm, your guiding light.
Even if storms try to pull us apart,
You'll always have a home in my heart.
No matter the distance, no matter the time,
My love for you will forever shine.

Do you see her standing there?
She’s dressed real nice, eyes made up, face painted on, her hair cut short and platinum colored.
Do you see her?
She’s getting high again, high on a cocktail of multiple things.
She’s free spirited, she’s lived like a true Gypsy
Hippie, glamazon, fashionista, gracefully insane is she.
She shines like no one I’ve ever seen.
She’s beautiful, broken, glued back together after her soulmate found her.
She’s woman, hear her roar.

GOD’S SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH-
Soul eye (so I) understand as I stand in unconditional self-love
In my inner beauty, soulful resonance
Holy divine essence, Father’s spirit
Ever so transformation al His grace flows
Also empowering, strength
Inward focusing beyond external appearances
God’s universal love, connections
Loving yourself (myself) sweetly-deeply
God’s spirit shines through us
God’s spirit shines through me
God’s spirit shines so shines through you
GOD’S SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH
We are fearfully and wonderfully made
Temple of the Holy Spirit
We’re treasures in earthen vessels
Made in intricate design, tapestry
Inner strength beautiful is us affirmed in self-love
Also empowering, strength
Inward focusing beyond external appearances
God’s universal love, connections
Loving yourself (myself) sweetly-deeply
God’s spirit shines through us
God’s spirit shines through me
God’s spirit shines so shines through you
GOD’S SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH

When the moon shines in the East
And all the white doves have been released
A young child will sleep in restful peace
When they've closed Hell's open door
And put an end to every single war
He won't have to worry any more
When they plant the fields in seed
And mankind rids itself of all greed
Then he will have nothing more to need
When freedom's the final song
And whose words have righted ev'ry wrong
His young soul will soar forever on
When the moon shines in the East
And all the white doves have been released
A young child will sleep in restful peace

Sun seeking sunflowers' stalks stand stylishly sleek
Bite birds, butterflies on beat before blazing blooms
Farm fields fire-up framing fascinating flourish
Gushing green grass giggle with girlish gaiety
Still soil sings soulful song to silent seeping saps
Reaper respectfully rallies with rapt rapture.

colors active, bursting rainbow
muted winds turn to flames,
as the son shines on them
~
dark in blackness, set apart
white is the light
That shine ever bright
~
as the son shines on them
muted winds turn to flames,
colors active, bursting rainbow
~
I know who my creator is
I am a created being
I glow ever bright
I am beautiful in His sight
~
colors active, bursting rainbow
muted winds turn to flames,
as the Son shines on them

The summer sun shines brightly, Rooster invites the day light loudly, The boy removes the blanket finally.
His mother calls him angrily, He runs into the restroom swiftly , And wears the school uniform slowly.
The school bus comes casual,
He steps into the bus unwillingly , It has been done daily as usual.

The moon shines on the ocean,
brnging about changes of when
things will come about, good or bad
With memories, of all I had
I want to dance along the beach,
dreaming of all that I can reach
I can hear the waves curl onto shore
There isn't much that I want more
The Moon guides me, along the sand
Giving answers, I understand
I rise with the tide and I smile
The Moon Shines with me all the while
