(03-07-2020)

Arise and shine, mother of light,
For doom now lurks behind the night
And darkness hovers around your vine
Mother of light, arise and shine!

Unless we know, we will falter,
just when we are at the altar.
Garner wisdom in stillness slow;
we will falter, unless we know.

We will falter, unless we know,
so best we let God’s grace endow.
How may our dark fate we alter?
Unless we know, we will falter.

See ye not yet, we're hypnotised
by desires, so our soul's capsized.
Stillness side-steps illusion net.
We're hypnotised. See ye not yet?

We’re not the mind, we're not this form.
We're not the currents, cool or warm.
We’re living light, blissful and kind.
We're not this form, we're not the mind.

Come let us dance, to God's love beat,
that we feel complete, heart upbeat.
Leap into the void, take a chance;
to God's love beat, come let us dance!

Transcending form, let bliss fill us,
as we ride, aboard God's love bus.
Heart delights, centred in this storm;
let bliss fill us, transcending form.

This is written for my love
The one that I hold above
Precious as a newborn kitten
For my love this is written

We make a perfect team
As we live out our dream
Nothing left to forsake
A perfect team we make

I am blessed to have you
Our love strong and true
Your love I do caress
To have you I am blessed

You are my dearest friend
Always with an ear to lend
My life’s brightest star
My dearest friend you are...

I love brisk walks on breezy days;
I’m mesmerized by fall's displays.
Time’s limited. Cold weather stalks.
On breezy days, I love brisk walks.

My soul trembles at this joyful sound;
"I once was lost, but now I'm found,"
Now my new heart to Yours resembles,
At this joyful sound, my soul trembles.

I was blind, but now I can see,
I was in chains, but now I'm free,
You changed my life, You changed my mind,
Now I can see, but I was blind.

Amazing Grace, a love story song
I sing it louder, very strong,
Until I'll see You face to face,
A love story song, Amazing Grace....

Idle banter, moments of joy,
far distanced from ego spawned ploy ~
behold how heart's bliss beats canter;
moments of joy, idle banter.

Mindful souls feel tremors subtle
but are careful not to scuttle
the pretence, camouflaged as zeal.
Tremors subtle, mindful souls feel.

Tender embrace, our heart's emote
for love expands, in Gods bliss boat,
healing gently by divine grace ~
our heart's emote, tender embrace.

Climb the ladder, here now forsooth
recognising clearly love’s truth,
else waywardness leaves us sadder;
here now forsooth, climb the ladder.

Simply be still to imbibe bliss,
beholding polarities kiss
causing soma nectar to spill.
To imbibe bliss, simply be still.

God’s light within, pure hearts reclaim,
prayerfully chanting His name
and when soul be cleansed from erst sin,
pure hearts reclaim God’s light within.

God paints the skies for our delight,
Because we're precious in his sight.
His words are true, God never lies;
For our delight, God paints the skies.

We can rely on God each day.
He guides our way, so we don't stray.
His Agape love I will laud.
Each day we can rely on God.

My hope and joy will never end.
Jehovah is my trusted friend.
This world, my faith, will not destroy.
Never will end my hope and joy.
